It’s been a turbulent few years for Pop trier Nicole Scherzinger. Axed from the X Factor and her music career in a perpetual state of “so-so”, the 32 year old strangely has the uncanny ability to always landing on her heels. A point underlined by the launch of her ‘Killer Love Tour’ this week.
The European trek kicked off in Brussels, Belgium on Monday and looked to be quite the treat. Choreographed by JaQuel Knight (the force behind Beyonce‘s ‘Single Ladies’), the show – by all accounts – is a high-octane, dance-filled, ball of brilliance. Brilliance only marred by a ‘hit-lacking’ set-list. Underscoring, again, the exact problem with “brand Scherzinger” – the material.
She has everything (the voice, the moves, the look), yet it was difficult to assemble a lengthy array of performances (for songs) which were in any way interesting.
We can only hope she finds the right material pronto. For, as you’ll see below, she has ‘it’ in abundance.

Too bad she’s a FLOPPPPP and no one cares to buy her music or care about her as an artist. She will be doing these small club shows 4ever… another footnote in the wiki. She never had the “xfactor” or any star quality, stage presence. HUUUUGE flop stateside so now she’s desperately panhandling her career in europe. Next.

I honestly wanted to watch the video’s but I found myself being unable to press play. Ms. Zinger just doesn’t do it for me.

She really has IT. Great stage presence, moves, looks,… love her energy, its contagious. Who needs a video wall with all THAT happening on stage? Loved Club Banger Nation, which is not listed here. Its incredible what she pulls out of those songs. I hope she includes a few slow and deep songs in her US album. She has such a beautiful tone. I wish her the best for the US album, can´t wait.

Please stop trying to force feed ppl this chick.
She is 32. This isn’t like the 60′s,70′s,80′s or even the 90′s where if you were that old you could still have a career.
Besides she has had 3 trys already.
Olivia,Nicole, and countless others need to hang it up.
On top of that she just lacks the “it” factor

I disagree. She does not have the “it” factor and in these performances it is clear. She is simply a generic girl that tries very hard but she simply is not interesting enough to sell solo material. I heard they are putting a new line up for the Pussycat dolls.

What a bore! She has no identity, and until she finds one she won’t have a successful solo career. #Back2TheDrawingBoardBoo.

I’m proud of her! It takes time for a artist to find themselves. And she finally has grown outside of PCD.

So. Those videos were filmed in Belgium. In a concert hall called The AB. It’s a very respected and loved venue in the country. NOT a club. Get your facts straight next time.

she HAS the talent.
she just doesnt have a BIG team like Rihanna, or any other hit girl.
Of course she can release hotter songs, but some of the latest singles are pretty decent and catchy, maybe that wasnt the sound the general audience wanted by that time.

WOW, she barely sung, but she is a good performer.
She needs better material. Not checking for Nicole anymore tbh.

In Europe, especially in the UK, her songs and her album are doing pretty good. That’s the reason she’s touring there. The US just isn’t giving her a chance. I love Nicole, she is a talented performer but some of the comments here proves that the US is missing out on some extreme talent. It’s our loss.

Well, she is the best when you see “all” (voice, dance and more).
Love her and we, in Brazil, are waiting for a world tour *-*
