Nicole Scherzinger Goes ‘Right There’ With ‘American Idol’

Published: Friday 20th May 2011 by David

X Factor USA host Nicole Scherzinger lit up the ‘American Idol’ stage tonight with a scorching premiere performance of new single ‘Right There’.

The track, which was released on US iTunes this week, should see a noticeable spike in sales given Idol’s 20 million plus audience; a figure which may soar higher as the season approaches its final stretch.

Watch Nicole and guest 50 Cent in action below…

    That was horrible! UGH!

    Billboard read her for filth!! There’s nothing more to be said tbh lol. Sucks to be Nicole Schgrtgjnfsar!

  13. Kyle May 20, 2011

    Man, that performance was BAD. It definitely does the song 0% justice. I think its the way she sings the song on audio that makes it super hard to perform. She kind of sings it with a reggae-esque type vibe, that she obviously can’t pull off.

  14. NICK May 20, 2011

    such a pretty girl, she sucks tho!!!!!! sorry NEXT!!!

  15. lol May 20, 2011

    Very poor performance. even rihanna can do better. nicole needs to be in a group, she just can’t be a solo artist. i didn’t even know she was so basic. she needs the girls back. she can keep trying, she is just WACK !!!

    her vocals are horrible…. the dancing is mediocre. Zero energy!! she can go back in london where they have awful tastes but she doesn’t have enough talent to shine in america.

  16. lol May 20, 2011

    she can keep waiting for her beyonce moment !!!! she will only have a latavia moment (no shade at latavia) !

    keep dreaming girl, dreams don’t always come true cuz ur dream already came true in pussycat dolls !!!

  17. Mizkeri-babe May 20, 2011

    why is her record label wasting all this damn money on this girl?

    they might as well just take the money and burn that s***…

    I mean seriously whos checking for this girl

  18. are YOU serious? May 20, 2011

  27. Gameman May 20, 2011

    I thought she was great. Bought her CD from Amazon right after the show. Pure senual sexual dynamite. Would definitely pay to see a show of hers.

  28. PRAISE GODGA AND REPENT May 20, 2011

    Bless her heart. She keeps trying.

    When was the last time 50 cent was relevant?

  29. theman May 20, 2011

    She did good to me she’s beautiful and sensual, it wasn’t bad, she sung well to, of anything 50 cent was the bland one, the crowd reacted to him as though they didn’t even know who he was. She got a nice round of applause.

  30. BLACK May 20, 2011

    @#1QueenGaga

    hey…big stan of gaga, but the only reason she got #1 because oprah is going away this year…so her market isnt as big as it was 4years ago, when she was making 300-400 mill a year…..nobody could have beat that…especialy not that 90 mill gaga got.

  31. #1QueenGaga May 20, 2011

    @BLACK
    DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO BE THE TOP DOGG ON THE FORBES MOST POWERFUL CELEBRITY???? IT’S NOT ALL ABOUT MONEY!!!! YOU FAIL..STOP MAKING STUPID EXCUSES FOR YOURSELF.

  32. D List May 20, 2011

    She’s so 2005. Her time has been up

  33. W.E. May 20, 2011

    I was shocked at the bad performance :O I mean after she delivered an above stellar performance at the X factor I was expecting her to bring it on American Idol especially tht her career revival in the U.S. depends on this song and album..Im disppointed cuz I no how talented this b**** is 🙁

  34. Dave May 20, 2011

    That performance was horrible.

  41. harlem May 20, 2011

    If I wasnt looking at the tv I woul;d have thought it was Rihana….and If I had the tv on mute and looking at the performance I would think it was a wanna be Beyonce…lol…terrible performance

  42. harlem May 20, 2011

    Everyone is laughing at FOrbes for having Gaga being number..lmao..CNN had a diss session on them…..

  43. Aryo May 20, 2011

    this performance was great, dont kno why yall are hating on this performance, im not saying this cuz i stan 4 her i really think she nailed it! except the first 30 seconds that was a lil boring!

  44. Aryo May 20, 2011

  47. Aryo May 20, 2011

    RIGHT THERE is rising and rising on itunes even faster than run the world

  48. Rocstarrk May 20, 2011

    Why Did It Seem Like The Audience Was Not Connected With Her It Seemed Like They Only Show Emotions (Screaming And Clapping) At The End. I Do Not Want To See Another (Whatever U Like, Baby Love, Puankenikeni ,Super Villain And Her Name Is Nicole) incidents To Happen

    Ps Lol To 50 Cent’s Clean Rap ROTF

  49. Aryo May 20, 2011

    wow that hair whipping @ 1:40

  50. TerenceBarber May 20, 2011

    I like this song, but the performance was awful.

  51. skittles May 20, 2011

    OK HATERS in this site, all this hate is uncalled for, gaga , beyonce, rihanna etc are irrevelant when judging an individual perfomance. Nicole is different. listen to the song empethasize and put yourself in that stage. it seems like a very simple song but its not an easy live dancing and singing. Am sorry she did a great job. when you think about it how many perfomers are there in this past two years that have brought it. gaga, beyonce , rihanna, katy perry , kelly rowland AND NICOLE IS UP IN THE TOP 10. Beacuse of our ignorance and unevolving taste in different genres in music, the uk market is blossoming and all our artists are tapping overseas market. Its such a shame. She put her own live spin and her dancing was great, there was nothing bad about that perfomance. she nailed it. sometimes we have to put our judgements aside a nd just give praise when its due people

  52. GangsterA May 20, 2011

    i like it but it could be alot better the song was #42 on itunes nicole will get her billboard debut

  53. Aryo May 20, 2011

    well said @skittles

  54. Maria May 20, 2011

    God you guys can be so negative…. Nicole, Gaga, Beyonce, and Rihanna all have NOTHING in common. They’re 4 v different artists, none of them sound/look/dance the same, you lot compare everyone to each other… The negativity on these pages bore me, so repetitive!!!!!
    Wasn’t her best performance but atleast she danced and sung live and did it well!

  55. WonderLand19 May 20, 2011

    I LOVE THIS SONG and hope it does well. However, this performance sucks. I didn’t like the fact that she changed the lyrics and she didn’t sound her best. Plus, the dancing wasn’t good.

    Maybe the jetset life is not agreeing with her body.

  56. Aryo May 20, 2011

    yes, ppl are so negative here!
    instead of all this hate, try to support her, i mean there is a place for her on the planet to be a huge star, right? it shouldnt always be rihanna gaga britney etc.
    she has spent a lot of money on this project to make us enjoy her music and yall are calling her a flop for no reason!
    plz support her and buy her album! she is supertalented and works real hard for her fans!;)

  57. Angie May 20, 2011

    I’m really not feeling Nicole. She does not offer anything fresh to the already overpopulated female urban pop game. She comes off more like a Beyonce wannabe. On top of that, the song is just not good. Love me some 50 Cent though.

  58. HALF AMAZIN May 20, 2011

    Her voice had no enthusiasm. Embarassing.

  59. DestinyBoston May 20, 2011

    she just jump 45 spots up on itunes go ahead nicole 🙂

  60. james May 20, 2011

    f*** haters!just shutup and get outta here if u dont have something nice to say bout nicole!!

  64. MadonnaLover May 20, 2011

    She is nothing without her dolls.

  65. y May 20, 2011

  67. lola May 20, 2011

    ABOUT TIME PEOPLE SAW HOW HORRIBLE OF A PERFORMER THIS P**** IS!

    Nicole is one of the wackist performers. Solo, she’s terrible. Her singing is absolutely horrible! She sounds like an old ass grandma who smoked cigarettes all of her life. She looked like a bony ostrich onstage as well. She can’t dance for anything. She was so stiff.

    This song is so wack and I am sick and tired of these females, Nicole, Keri, ect copying off of Rihanna’s “What’s My Name” and I don’t even like Rihanna!

    Nicole is what, 34 now or about to be? Girl, it’s time to hang it up, get married, and have kids.

    @K
    Did you catch Billboard’s shade on twitter?? LOL

    “Guess not every #Idol episode can see spots from Beyonce and Gaga. Nicole Scherzinger on now. #yawn”
    *********************

    Really Billboardmag actually tweeted that? I’m not a NS fan but perhaps BBmag shouldn’t show this kind of bias! And to compare her to gaga & bey was all out of line!!

  70. jesse lopez May 20, 2011

    it was very mediocre but not bad.she had way more confidence when she was with pcd.the girl got vocals and can dance her ass off….not here though!

  71. wow May 20, 2011

    @#1QueenGaga
    My fave been there done that!! been on that list every year since 1999 so…. not a big deal

  72. J May 20, 2011

    Just because it worked for Jeremih doesn’t mean it’ll work for you Nicole. 50Cent has been whack since 2005.

    Anyway, like I been saying for years and will keep saying, stick to your PUSSYCAT DOLLS deal mama, or just go overseas no one is interested here!

  73. malcolm May 20, 2011

    WOWWWWW that was kinda bad :(((( nd i liike her wowwwww rihanna is a little bit better than that :(( nd u cud tell she was out of breath nd she barely danced come on nicole

  74. Chae May 22, 2011

    >!>!>!>!>!>!> Man that performance was WAK!!! Nicole n her stiff ass hips. Makes me wonder how many takes it took for her to master the hip whining in the vid because this was awful!! RR I was hoping for soo much better. Atleast Rhianna delivers with the dancing on stage. There was no effort put in what so ever. >>>>> NEXT!! <!<!<!<!<!<!<!<
