For years Nicole Scherzinger has been accused of imitating Beyonce but now it looks like she’ll be compared to Rihanna instead. The singer’s new single, ‘Right There (Ft. 50 Cent)’, has surfaced in full and her West Indian twang sounds striking similar to the red-haired vixen.
Listen to the record below:
Regardless of any comparisons to Rihanna, this record sounds like a definite winner for US radio. The catchy hook, repetitive lyrics and thumping beats would guarantee it a place on top 40 radio. Besides, if 50 Cent could revive Jeremih’s career then why not Scherzinger?
Props to Hip-Hop N More for the audio.

Dead @ her sounding like Rih. J.Lo got a song like that too. Idk why they copy these sounds. But, at least she can actually dot his justice live & she’s talented. It does sound like a winner, event hough it’s basic as ever.

LMFAO why bother getting upset because she sounds like Rihanna. Soon every female song is going to sound alike except for the real singers. Just watch what I am saying. Then and only then will R&B singers return because people will not want to hear that same sound over and over again. It may work for overseas but in the US the music will soon change and if you can’t sing then.

I’VE HAD THIS SONG ON REPEAT SINCE I FIRST GOT THE UK EDITION OF HER ALBUM. IT’S THE STANDOUT TRACK. IT’S REALLY NOT THAT ISLAND INFLUENCED. IT’S A POP/R&B TRACK. THE URBAN SOUND OF IT SHOULD HAVE HER CHARTING DECENT ON BOTH THE R&B/HIP HOP SONGS AS WELL AS THE HOT 100. RIHANNA IS NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN GO “EH EH” IN HER SONGS. THIS SITE KILLS ME, YOU HATE THE GIRL AND YET YOU ACT AS IF EVERYONE WANTS TO BE HER. NICOLE HAS TOO MUCH TALENT TO WANT TO BE ANYBODY. SHE PERFORMS JUST AS WELL AS BEYONCE IF YOU ASK ME. MELODY THORNTON CAN SING BETTER IMO BUT NICOLE HAS IT WITH THE ALL AROUND PERFORMER ATTITUDE. SINGER, DANCER, ACTRESS, MODEL, SONGWRITER. SHE’S J.LO BUT WITH A BETTER VOICE. STOP COMPARING EVERYONE TO RIHANNA WHEN SHE DOESN’T EVEN HAVE A CERTAIN SOUND OF HER OWN. SHE’D HAVE TO BE A GREAT SINGER FOR THAT TO HAPPEN FIRST. WHEN SHE DELIVERS MORE PERFORMACES LIKE THAT OF “CALIFORNIA KING BED” ON AMERICAN IDOL OR OF “RUSSIAN ROULETTE” ON CHERYLS NIGHT IN, THEN WE CAN DEBATE ON PEOPLE WANTING TO BE HER. THOSE PERFORMANCES WERE GOOD, NOT GREAT. NICOLE CAN SING HER ASS OFF! AND DANCE AT THE SAME TIME. RIHANNA CAN’T DO EITHER. WHEN SHE CAN SING BETTER THAN NICOLE OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER BECAUSE AT THIS POINT SHE ONLY SINGS BETTER THAN KE$HA AND BRITNEY SPEARS (WHICH ISN’T SAYING MUCH) THEN COMPARE OTHER PEOPLE TO HER. ONCE AGAIN YOU GUYS ARE PROMOTING RIHANNA. WHAT DOES TGJ SECRETLY WORK FOR HER? I LIKE HER BUT THIS POST WAS ABOUT WHO? NICOLE SCHERZINGER. ANYWAY, THE SONG IS HOT. NOW LET’S GET READY FOR THE QUEEN SINCE 13 TO MAKE HER RETURN, JOANNA NOELLE BLAGDEN LEVESQUE AKA JOJO. YES I’M A PROUD JOJO STAN. SHE CAN TRULY DO IT ALL AND DO IT WELL AND HAS BEEN SNATCHING THE CROWNS OF EVERYONE SINCE 13 AND NOW SHE’S ONLY 20 AND HE’S ALWAYS HAD HER OWN SOUND. TIME FOR HER TO RELEASE “THE OTHER CHICK” AND TO SHUT IT DOWN. #THEOTHERCHICK

Nicole needs to sit her old, bird looking ass down already! This is SOOO Rihanna. And people really need to learn their damn history or know what’s going on in different countries. Nicole is from Hawaii…… since when do Hawaiians fucking have Caribbean accents! LMFAO!!!!!! Rihanna is from the Caribbean and has a Caribbean accent and Nicole doesn’t, so obviously, she’s trying to do that whole Rihanna thing in this song and it’s just pathetic. I wish you guys would stop acting like nobody copies off anybody in the industry. Rihanna’s producer gave her, her own unique melodies and vocal deliveries with her accent. Don’t you hear that in Nicole’s song? Anyway, this bitch will flop again. Nobody is checking for her.

Are you kidding me?! Judas was the first song recorded from Born This Way back in 2009!! And Loli’s song was released in January 2011, so she probably made it a couple months before. So who copied who? Get your facts straight. And I don’t here anything from Judas in that Rockefeller song. #NuffSaid #ImOut

Whatever you like was alright, but in the states we do not want to see some no talent hack try to copy or intimate some of the other girls in the game. The pussycat dolls worked because they were a group. Nicole now has to compete and be compared to rihanna, britney, and every other chick. She does not stand out vocally its her beauty. She needs to own the fact shes a pussycat doll for life dumb bitch

If Lady Gaga can do a Cockney Accent on Speechless and a faux German accent on Judas then Nicole can do West Indian.
On a side note…

You know what really sucks its ignorant and irrelevalant comparison comments like this to get everyone talking and submitting comments. I mean come on, the song doesnt even have an island feel regardless of the fact she is part hawaian. Her range is far much better than rihana. its like comparing Britney and Adele or some like that.. Its a single worthy song. its cute. its people like you that are driving all artists to tap the uk market overseas. its really sad how we are not supporting really talented artists. NICOLE has proven herself over and over that she is very talented, Give credit when its due guys.. Her albums SOLID.

I agree with the poster who said this song was a Rhianna leftover. I think Nicole has a good
enough voice to create her own style of music. I know the producers are telling her to
do what is hot right now , but everyone is getting tired of artist sounding the same
way. The RiRi comparison will be the reason why this will fail.

Whatever you say haters. Blah blah! All I can say is that “this song is addictive”! PERIOD. A good comeback, Nicole. Yeah, this sounds like Rihanna but I really don’t care about that chick. She don’t even know her name. LOL.. I prefer Nicole more than her.
I think one reason why Nicole is not existing wonderfully like PCD, is that people are not giving her a chance. Girl groups aren’t forever. You see what happened to Destiny’s Child? The Supremes? Spice Girls? They parted ways because they know, they have something to fulfill individually. I hope you can really see the heart of Nicole in every record she’s releasing. Give her a chance. She deserves success. (Oh, thanks to UK people for giving that to her. They know how to support real artists. *clap!clap! to UK*)

I seriously cannot believe you people! I cannot believe how idiotic your all being! Just because an artist wants to go and try a new sound you have to go and be all “Ooh, this fuckin’ bitch is copying This person” or “This persons song sounds soo much like this ones” No one is forcing you to listen to her! Me personally I like the song and the rest of her music. But am I trying to make you change your opinion and make you say “Oh I love this song”? No! And with these comments your doing the same thing in reverse. It’s like your trying to make everyone hate her. Well news flash! Everyone has a right to their own opinion! You don’t have to share it with the world! You don’t Like something? Complain about it to your friends or family not to random strangers on line! To put it all in a nut shell I say each to their own opinion.
