Scherzinger Pushes Back US Album

Published: Friday 14th Oct 2011 by Sam

Stateside fans of Nicole Scherzinger have been dealt yet another blow today. For, the Pop vixen has pushed back the US release of her debut LP ‘Killer Love’.

Full story after the jump…

After a slew of unhonoured dates, the album was finally set to hit American outlets on November 15th.

However, The Hollywood Reporter reveal that the the singer’s label will only confirm an “early December” store date for the set. Note-worthy in that the European version was released back in March.

While logic concurs with her team wanting to leverage her X Factor exposure against the release, it’s still a tricky game they’re playing. Yes, her inevitable performance on the live shows will help her cause, as will a Holiday release; yet sometimes that simply isn’t enough. Ask Jennifer Lopez or more over Ciara, whose ‘Basic Instinct’ project tanked in quite shocking fashion last Christmas after delays and label drama.

And though ‘label drama’ isn’t something Scherzinger has to deal with (Interscope are clearly fully behind her), at least Ms. Harris had a hit. Something Nicole is still searching for Stateside.

That said, ‘success’ is still there to play for. For her sake, though, this new date needs to stick.

Your thoughts?

    I just can’t with Nicole!

    This chick has all the promo in the world, has a label that is so supportive and pumpin so much money into her project and yet she still cant get a hit! wtf! go sit down Nicole

    I like her and everything, but she just aint cut out to be a solo act, she needs to get back with PCD asap

    Other artists would kill for the kinda promo Nicole gets and she still a flop! SMH!

    you can’t talk since your girl, can’t even make it as a solo artist! nicole released her album in the UK in march guess what it tanked, rihanna 1.8 million in the UK nicole 120,000. she won’t be any big artist in the US either the most she will go is gold!

    nicole stick with the PCD

  11. Kyria October 14, 2011

    LMAO 😀 niFlop scherzinger !

  12. Those That Cannot Do, Stan October 14, 2011

    Folks don’t know Nicole used to be part of Eden’s Crush off that old reality show, then it was PCD and now her failing as a single act. I feel bad for her. I like 2 of her songs but the difficulty she’s having as a solo artist is quite clear.

    Sometimes it’s luck, sometimes it’s just not meant to be, shrugs.

    Eitherway she should make some internal decisions because she’s getting the side-eye.

  13. Steffon October 14, 2011

    Not surprised. No one is checking for this flop b****

  14. 9bandedosaz October 14, 2011

    I thot Right There Ft 50Dollars was huge HIT in US. . . . . .Shame! Kelly Rowland will be performing Down for Whatever on Xfactor UK live shows and it is gonna do wonders for her sales buh Ni-COLD can’t pull dat stunt Here cos No one is rooting for her exxcept her bandmates!

  15. Kenny October 14, 2011

    The Many Failed Singles, Shelved Album, It’s A Miracle She Hasn’t Been Dropped Because If That Was Another Artist They Would Of Dropped a Long Time Ago, Big Lol Too The Comment “Hang It Up Flat Screen” But Really Who Want’s A Nicole Scheringer Album I Know I Don’t, A Pussycat Dolls One Of Course Any Day of the Week. It’s Find It Quite Ironic That She On The X Factor Because Other Then The Pussycat Dolls What Success Has She has In The USA, Please Bring Back Cheryl Cole Who Has Potental To Have A Hit Single In The US…. Like Wendy Says “I Can’t, I Can’t…. Nicole Scherzinger”

  16. S***(U MAD?) October 14, 2011

    Pressed b******, Nicole is gonna SLAY In due time. The b**** is coming for wigs in 2013

    right now though Rih is SLAYING ..even slaying Bey:?

  17. ARYO October 14, 2011

    @COMMANDEROFTHEDANCEFLOOR
    my point was that nicole shits on rihanna when it comes to talent, but when it comes to sales, rihanna wins, there is no denying that rihanna has a big fanbase,

  18. mark ginnis October 14, 2011

    So what she should release the album with no hit!

  19. ARYO October 14, 2011

    one of the reasons nicole cant make it big yet is that so many ppl hate her because they think it was her fault that other dolls didnt sing (pcd) but they dont know that it was robin antin’s fault
    and the other reason is that her label isnt behind her back like they support her labelmates!

  20. ARYO October 14, 2011

    @s*** u mad?
    sorry if i was rude to u before, lol

  21. ARYO October 14, 2011

    oh and right there didnt flop in Us
    it has sold around 500-600 + in US alone

  22. jay October 14, 2011

    I wonder who Nicole’s sucking off at Interscope, coz the amount of failed attempts shes had at a solo career, some1 else would have been dropped a looooong time ago! She got her head game right at least! :-p

  23. A Nu Day Has Come October 14, 2011

    One day, these artist are going to have to except that, they just can’t sing!!!!!!

  24. MixMega October 14, 2011

  25. YOOSONDALOOSE October 14, 2011

    Damn, they aren’t doing this right in USA.

  26. nice_gurl October 14, 2011

    Just release the album Nicole!! What is taking so long?

  27. JUDAS666 October 14, 2011

    FLOPPPPPPTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #TRAIN WRECK MESS!!!!!!!!!!

  28. Amazen October 15, 2011

    Nicole just isn’t gonna make it. She was worked with EVERY big producer had more promotion then Beyonce, Rihanna, Britney Spears and Lady Gaga Combined. Idk why Jimmy Ivione (or whatever) Just don’t move onto another artist he has Cassie, Christina Milian, Teyana Taylor, Kelis, Shareefa all dying to get a release but yet the label focuses on her. She’s never gonna be up there with Gwen Stefani, Fergie, Lady gaga or Nelly Furtado

  29. henrytots October 15, 2011

    she hasnt been dropped cause interscope believes in her. this is girl is really talented i just dont understand why people dont like her.

  30. number1k9 October 15, 2011

    I think it is hilarious how hard of a struggle she has had in her home market. She and Interscope should realize that too, and soon.

    I mean after ‘Her Name Is Nicole’ which released like 4 different singles, some of which I thought were decent, and they all failed. Which resulted in a shelved album.

    And now the same thing has happened with this ‘Killer Love’ album.
    1) “Poison” -complete US fail, s***** song
    2) “Right There” <<<<only a MINOR hit in the US
    3) "Don't Hold Your Breath" -sadly best single and is NOT catching on.

    It's like 'Her Name is Nicole' era is near repeating itself in the US.
    @Amazen is right, she will never have a solo career like Fergie or Nelly Furtado. Not many people are blessed to be in a 2 groups, and THEN get a chance at a solo career [except Fergie] so she should have been happy with her fame and success and rode it.

    @Kenny I agree, she should NOT be on the X Factor, her onyl credibility is that she began on Pop Stars, which was a reality competition for a recording career, and her success with PCD. To me that does NOT equal success enough to have even got the chance to judge The Sing Off, who would have thought she'd get a s*** at another judging role (singing competition)! ! Not me. I def would have liked to see someone like Jessica Simpson in her place, if Cheryl Cole wasn't getting her role as judge.
