I so agree. what happened to labels giving only a few chances at jump starting an album. Especially for a group singer tried to turn solo act like Nicole! It failed in 2007, and I hope it continues to fail in 2011/2012.

Her performing on X Factor this week, the week after peopel booed her, will be really interesting to see.

NOT to mention X Factor doesn't even have the audience American Idol has, in order to sell a single into the Top 10 of iTunes OR Billboard Hot 100. So good luck Nicole, you ARE going to need it.
