If you don’t consider yourself a Misha B fan, we’d bet good money on that changing after you watch what’s in store below.

For all her success in the Pussycat Dolls, Nicole Scherzinger‘s solo run has been a journey plagued by peaks and troughs. Indeed, despite many attempts, the Pop stunner has struggled to achieve anything beyond “moderate” singular success — in Europe.
