STFU Nicole would've had a great album if it wasn't for terrible promo. uhm, WHAT, she had the VMA Preshow, So You Think You Can Dance, did Baby Love on The World Music Awards, and a bunch of other performances in Europe. So while we are using internet slang GTFO with that nonsense Let's not forget THAT performance of "Baby Love" @ the AMA's

In all seriousness, I think it's clear Nicole had pretty good promo lined up it just didn't work - which has been discussed to death at this point

That isn't the great.

I didn't even know there was such a thing called The World Music Awards From what I remember it is hilariously cheap. I remember one year it seemed like the only big celebrity they had was Christina Aguilera so they showed the HELL out of her. I think she performed, helped host, presented, won, and on top of that they showed her in the audience 24/7. It was like HEY LOOK WE HAVE AN A LEVEL CELEB HERE OMG!!!!!!! Anyways. Nicole's debut may have been slightly mismanaged, but I also think no one was biting. I do not think 3-4 performances instead of 1-2 would have suddenly made the song a smash.

The whole solo project was horribly mismanaged. The VMAs pre-show was decent promo. A performance on the actual show would have been better, but it was better than nothing. As for the WMAs, I agree. It was worthless. Anyway, it doesn't matter - Nicole's album was destined to flop. For one, she wasn't famous enough to go out on her own. The solo thing worked for Justin Timberlake, Fergie and Gwen Stefani because they were all well-known from their respective groups, whereas Nicole was just "the lead singer from PCD." I'd say that 3 out of 5 people don't know her name. She should have stayed with the group for a few more years and then tried to make it as a solo artist. Second, her music just wasn't very good. "Whatever U Like" wasn't terrible, but it definitely wasn't the smash she needed. "Baby Love" and the other 8 singles she released were even worse.

ROFL @ NICOLE'S JAPANESE SMASH WONDER CD.
I thought 'Baby Love' was a beautiful song. I still do. 'Whatever U Like' is hot too.
The rest is just whack!

Nicole got shitloads of promotion for her solo career, i cant believe someone had the nerve to say she wasnt promoted properly. The problem was, she had shitty songs and nobody wanted her solo.

I stumbled upon this. It has a few gems in it....
The Pussycat Dolls’ lead singer Nicole Scherzinger is about to break out from the mega-selling girl group with her solo debut album Her Name Is Nicole. The sexy Hawaii-born singer came up with the title because people recognized her as PCD’s frontwoman, but most didn’t know her name. But that’s about to change…
Her Name Is Nicole is a mix of R&B, pop, hip-hop, and rock. Producers include heavy hitters Polow Da Don (“Whatever You Like”), Timbaland (“Physical”), Akon (“Puakenikeni”), Pharrell (“I.M.I.S.S. You”), and will.i.am (“Baby Love”). Nicole co-wrote all except two songs on the album. The first single, “Whatever You Like” featuring T.I. should hit radio in the next couple weeks. A video has already been shot.
Rap-Up was one of the first media outlets to hear seven full tracks off the album, which is scheduled for release on September 25th. After our listening, we have no doubt Nicole is on her way to becoming a household name.
1. “Whatever You Like” featuring T.I. Produced by Polow Da Don
The first single off Her Name Is Nicole is a hit in the making. This club banger will get play on urban and mainstream radio. It’s a perfect lead single and a good song to release in the summer. The beat has those distinctive Polow Da Don sirens that are reminiscent of Kelis’ “Blindfold Me,” which Polow also produced. “Her name is Nicole, she’s hot as a stove!” is repeated by Polow throughout the song. The chorus goes, “I wanna do whatever you wanna, I’ll do whatever you like.” Nicole sings about doing whatever her man likes, including “riding it like a Harley.” T.I.’s rap is towards the middle of the track.
5. “Puakenikeni” Produced by Akon
The uptempo song is named after a Hawaiian flower. Starts off with Akon’s signature Konvict Muzik cell bars slamming, yet it doesn’t sound like an Akon produced track. This love song then goes into a Hawaiian chant. Nicole sings, “Don’t you wanna pick my Puakenikeni? Nothing’s sweeter than my Puakenikeni.” Nicole’s favorite song on the album.
6. “Happily Never After” Written by Ne-Yo
A ballad about leaving your lover. “I don’t think I want this anymore as she drops the ring down to the floor,” Nicole sings. Ne-Yo does what he does best by telling a story through the song. Sample lyrics: “No happily never after, that just ain’t for me, I know I deserve better after all, I’ll never let another tear drop fall.” Fans will be pulling out their lighters/cell phones when this song is played at a concert.
