Nicole Scherzinger graces the cover of ‘You’ Magazine in aid of her X Factor stint this month, opening up on her role on the show like never before.
Posing for the mag in Jennifer Lopez inspired shoot, the former ‘Baby Love’ singer spoke openly on her fellow judges, why she is to thank for ‘One Direction’, but more importantly… why she misses her former group, the ‘Pussycat Dolls’.
Quotes and snaps below…
On the Dolls, she revealed:
We were a powerful little unit and our time together was electric. There is always a possibility that we will get back together, but I am enjoying where I am right now.
I’ve worked hard to be able to stand out on my own and have my name out there and not have it under the name of a band. That feels empowering.
On ‘creating’ One Direction:
“We had a bunch of great young guys with One Direction, but none of them were ready to go out on their own in the boys’ category. I thought, ‘If we put this group together the girls are going to go crazy. Together they will be irresistible.’ Simon was very smart.He listened to me”.
On the X Factor UK/ US:
“Everything is honest and innocent. A UK audience can tell when something is from the heart. They have a great sense of humour and it’s more playful.
There was a lot of hype around the US X Factor. The show was under a lot of pressure, and I was part of that. I had a difficult category because it was the ‘olders’, and in this industry the older you get the less chance you have of being a successful artist.”

its not rocket science that one direction would be temporary successful, nicole.
4 or 5 good looking feminine guys covered in makeup and singing songs about love always makes girls under 17 wet.

the others girls beside melody thornton couldn’t really sing. So that’s y nicole was lead and the others backup vocals…the PCD was mostly about image first and the musical aspect second but I still liked their music. It was pop fun.

I really like Nicole!
She is talented, beautiful, sexy, nice person and i don’t know WHAT THE HELL is wrong with her or her team? She’s on one of the most popular shows in USA and UK and still flopping? (I don’t really like this word but…)
Actually PCD is her only way to stay relevant.

u gotta be likable to the masses. Some have it some don’t. I honestly think she’s a group kinda artist and not a independant one. (Sorta like the Spice girls) She just doesn’t have that sort of appeal. Her image nor her voice.

With the exception of her first album, Kelly hasn’t done anything to be noticed as a solo artist other than being Beyonce’s back-up singer in Destiny’s Child. And what is releasing albums if they don’t do well?

I agree with the notion that she is not a “solo artist” material. She should get back together with the Dolls otherwise she’ll remain unsuccessful. She is a really good looking woman though.

She never said she wants to return to the Dolls! She clearly said that she’s content at where she’s at but if the possibility came up, she would because she misses the girls. It’s called reading. And she didn’t flop, her album went platinum, it just wasn’t released in the US

It seems she’ll never have chart success. The only song I really liked by her post-PCD was with diddy “Come to me”. Baby love was a cute song but lord knows that didn’t go anywhere on the charts. And I don’t know how I feel about her reuniting with the other dolls. I mean the extras in the group practically were not even singers. That era is over and is so 2005. Melody clearly wants a spotlight of her own and even she is struggling.

She needs to keep group hopping because it isn’t going to happen to her. Her songs are on the wrong side of generic and she’s annoying, a 34 year old woman taking in that cutsie voice and coming across fake really isn’t fooling anyone young or old.
She sings okay but isn’t cutting it. At her age she really should be doing well, she’s 5 years from 40 so needs to find her neich yesterday and stay there…. whatever it is.

An “okay” voice? You clearly need your ears checked. The woman’s done “Rent”, “Rocky Horror” “Phantom of the Opera” and has sung and worked with the best of them. Has Rihanna or Katy Perry been asked to do that? No, because that’s where the “okay voices” reside. The Pussycat Dolls were just an aspect of her, that’s not her as a person. I think people were turned off when she went solo because the image there was different from the group, but that’s her being true to herself. Her last album didn’t flop either, it went platinum, so calling her a “flop” is played out.

Well, i think she has an okay voice and that is my opinion. and yes, Rihanna and Katy Perry have okay voices… actually less than, although not with myself, but they clearly connect with the masses and have popular songs which Nicole is missing .
Doing shows like rent, Rocky ect dont mean much as there are non recording artists that do those shows with no record deals that can sing Nicole back under the table she crawled from, using her or any oter recording artist would be to generate sales for the show.
The last bit of your comment makes no sense to me. i didnt call her a flop, and also you’re talking as you know her and i’m pretty sure you dont.

How am I talking like I know her? Because I’m backing what I’m saying with facts? Doing shows like Rocky etc. ARE a big deal for a pop artist because they are using their voice out of their comfort zone (RANGE) because musical theater is a different monster than the studio. And of course a celebrity will bring people to the theater; that’s obvious, but what also is obvious is an “okay” singing ass wouldn’t be allowed to do it as much as her. She’s done theater, opera and classical countless times, so in my opinion, NO, her voice is not just “okay”.

Nicole never left the dolls, the rest of them quit. They broke up in 09, but in 2010 robin had formed a new pcd. Nicole was still in it. The other girls weren’t. Apparently that didn’t work out though. all of the girls could actually sing. of course they weren’t vocal powerhouses, but they were underrated. The problem was that they were being treated unfairly. They wanted more opportunities to share their talent, but weren’t given them. And nicole is a beast vocally. Ppl be sleepin on her. Even on the pcd albums she and melody was on point. Some artists just never get the right marketing strategy.
