Nicole can sing and is talented in other areas,she just shines better in a group. None of her solo music is as good as the two albums PCD put out and that's the problem.Plus it seems like she's working with producers who don't really believe in her, might be why both of her albums sound like fillers and throwaways.My own personal theory is that Nicole treated those girls in PCD like crap, thought she was bigger than the group,and karma has been getting her together ever since. I remember how she tried to release as album in 2006 and the group only had one album.Maybe she should just go to broadway!These labels need to invest in new talent,not talent that's proven on so many occasions that the public just isn't interested anymore.
