nicole scherzinger - SUPER VILLAIN

Word to that.

loving this.

thank you Tape Store.

this song is definitely mindnumbingly wow.

lol you are always so late

i love 'supervillain' but i still love 'whatever u like' even more

what was the track w/the hawaiian name like in the end? i never bothered to hear it.

blindfold me >>>>>>>> whatever u like

the hawaiian track is "puakenikeni" or something like that, it sucked

actually relistening to it it's not that bad

that song is kinda worthless post-calabria 2007 huh?

what was the song she did w/ t.i.? that one was good

that was "whatever u like", and it was just a less good version of kelis' "blindfold me"

it had an incredible video though - she was on some ring type shit there. her terrifying stare in the pool scene, the body contortions, the hot coals

yeah the video was hot

whatever u like >>>> blindfold me, imo

I still don't get why her solo career was such a failure, I mean she was totally set up to be massive

I still don't get why she attempted a solo career, given that PCD is essentially her solo vehicle and was already massive

her last name is hard to pronounce

loll

i remember when she performed "whatever u like" at a vmas PRE-SHOW

the way Wayne filled in for T.I. and did a whole new remix verse (that AFAIK was never released as a studio version) was pretty cool.

yeah with lil wayne, that was kind of hot

anyway glad Keri Hilson got a hit finally so people can stop using this:

ya im pretty sure he just freestyled it - it was funny too because id doubt scherzinger knew what he was going to do and he started rapping about sex and he started grinding on her and she had to pretend to be like really into getting spontaneously humped by lil wayne

wayne doesn't freestyle dude

I still don't get why her solo career was such a failure, I mean she was totally set up to be massive

too soon - should've been after two PCD albums...as big as they were she wasn't well-established enough, wasn't perceived to have paid her dues.

t.i.'s verse on 'whatever u like' is pure, raw sex.

i'm listening to it b2b with 'blindfold me' now - i thought they were on a similar level at the time but wow, listening back 'whatever u like' is so ridiculously far ahead. kelis sounds strained and vaguely wheezy compared to nicole's whiplash agility.

oh yeah another reason for 'whatever u like's superiority is obv t.i. being fine & sexy rather than nas talking about hugh grant

talking of hilson, this is still my favourite cut by her, and i'm still sure it was meant for scherzinger

yeah t.i.'s verse is sexy - "eat it beat 'til it's swollen/you 'gon need an ice pack" jesus! but kelis still winz though because... she's Kelis!

yess "Hands and Feet" is massive... my fave Keri is "Where Did He Go?" though.

t.i. is reeeally nasty on that justin leak "if i"

okay listening to both "whatever you like" is better - i concede.

thank you Tape Store.

this song is definitely mindnumbingly wow.

sean garret is so gay I swear, he has written like every 'bad bitch' anthem of the past 5 years

I should start a sean garrett appreciation thread

ya "whatever u like" is crazy - too bad that beat got wasted

lol t.i. didn't even show up for the video shoot

oh i guess that's him in the box :/

sean garrett probably is gay. who isn't?

his fail of a solo career is lol too

yeah he did he's in the video she's all on him

yes his solo career is a big LOL

i can't hold Garrett's hubris against him, when The-Dream and Ryan Leslie are releasing albums and having solo hits, who's to tell him his voice isn't good enough or he's not handsome enough to be an artist?

yeah you're right

Fuck that madrigal shit – this is how you make a tone poem.

talking of hilson, this is still my favourite cut by her, and i'm still sure it was meant for scherzinger

kinda doubt it, considering it was originally released as part of the "In the Mix" OST way back in '05!

was gonna put this in the vacuous pop thread, but in the interests of saving teh zinger from undead cassiedom --

rather than once again scrutinizing the secretly interesting thing inside the trojan horse of tim's pussycat dolls analogy, i was thinking wouldn't it be more illuminating to assess the contours and grain of the horse itself? (cos yknow, generally speaking troy fell in like 2001 amirite.) because without the dolls scherzinger is nothing, yet with them one wagers even her rankest flop mightve gained chart purchase, however counterintuitively ('i hate this part' being just as first person intimate as 'supervillain', for instance).

putting aside the eye candy canard for a sec, i'd venture that the dolls manage to diffuse the scherzinger signal without diluting it, creating like an acephalous zone of pop crowdscene that opens up an avenue into the songs that avoids the intimidating one-to-one r&b artist eye contact poetix the lone scherzinger implies. but then in a sense the horse isn't trojan at all, because everyone knows by now that the dolls do nothing whatsoever; an in-joke turned outward. if the boundaries of that zone, then, are already explicitly agreed upon by all parties, the dolls become something more like a visual autotune for scherzinger - an accepted gimmick vehicle for extremes of emotion, that the listener also employs for it to be enjoyable.

in breaking that contract, and provoking a backlash against her supposed hubris, scherzinger solo was bound to fail really. what i *think* mightve worked is if she'd first done a big cover ballad that didn't necessarily depend on establishing a brand new her, but would still be just too silly if it was a pcd group session. 'save the best for last', i'm telling you!! but oh well.

has anyone else come around to loving the Diddy single she did? i mean i liked it at first but i gradually got really into it.

I still don't get why she attempted a solo career, given that PCD is essentially her solo vehicle and was already massive

yeah basically if this still fantastic song had been a PCDs single it could've been a #1 np

yathink? maybe it's just her name. scherzinger.

I think maybe you all are vastly overrating how good "Whatever You Like" actually is.

man i went into this hoping to like it and it's like a big pile of foam insulation that's been sprayed with glitter

it's like she finally found the project that perfectly fits her image and skill set that she'd been working towards her entire career up to this point

...oh, you guys were talking about a song and not this

public comments asking Russell Brand where she can buy his MAGA-style merch

I always suspected that despite being such a convincing performer she was a bit of an idiot and now we know

☹️

wonder how her Broadway castmates feel -- she's currently starring in Sunset Blvd

ok so she apologized and said she didn't realize her comment could be interpreted as political (the merch in question was a hat that read Make Jesus First Again) ... which, ok, maybe she's just dumb.

but apparently she also liked an Instagram post by RFK Jr. directly supporting Trump. harder to wave away that one.

Tony winner!

Asshole!

What's your take on Scherzinger?
What's your take on Scherzinger?

Wow! Good for her.

Saw her perform last October in Sunset Blvd right before it opened, and holy hell was she just jaw dropping. 4 minute standing ovation for her first number. Good lord. Well deserved Tony. Tom Francis was robbed!

Only saw her perform on the Tonys broadcast, but it was easy to see why she won; she was mesmerizing.
