nicole scherzinger - SUPER VILLAIN

but yeah the whole PCDs/nicole package is pretty unique. are the PCDs doing badly w/the new album btw, or is that just idolator's wishful thinking?

like how girl groups can get away w/misandrist and even misanthropic female anthems, but once you go solo it's all crazy-in-love sexuality or broken-hearted balladry.

i don't know if i buy this 100%

the 2nd PCD album is kinda skidding along, not a flop but definitely not as big as the 1st, hasn't gone gold yet. that's only 2 singles in, though, who knows how the next one will do.

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.

ya, total classic - i always forget this was her actual first solo appearance and the whole reason anyone ever got excited. IT'S BAD BOY, BITCH + that cold gleaming beat >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> trashy "whatever u like".

all of which reminds me!

I could totally see a Nicole version of "Saved The Best For Last". I think I agree with both r|t|c and lex on this one: the Pussycat Dolls foil makes Nicole's extremism seem less extreme, more like costumery. Moreover (and this is probably just making r|t|c's point more obviously) b/c one can't really identify with "the Dolls" as such, it's very effective at promoting the good-song-ness of the songs - while at the same time they're memorable enough and actually-well-known enough that their blankness doesn't have the deflationary drag of anonymizing their songs.

Also I think visually the most important thing about PCD (who are not eye candy really - Nicole's the best looking of the lot) is their capacity to sort of stride/saunter in a line through all of their video clips, a bit like that weird fembot in the Maxi Priest "That Girl" video. It's exactly the right "look" for all the uptempo PCD songs.

I would have thought that the first PCD album, rather like P!nk's I'm Not Dead and the Fergie album, would have gotten a lot of its sales from people going "okay I like at least three of the singles on this."

lol relegated to dancing w/ the stars

if she somehow loses to buzz aldrin i think she should be deported

guilty lol

song is still amazing

super villain that is

genuinely love "poison" now

this xfactor performance was legit great

smh at everyone saying gaga would've done it better - it wasn't so long ago that gaga was the one biting nicole's entire steez hardcore

I thought the song was a bit nothing-y but the sound on X-Factor could be to blame, it's designed to kill excitement. This is no "Super Villain" tho right?

finally heard Milian's madscientist-devoid version of 'Super Villain' the other week - meeeh

yeah it's no "super villain" but i always preferred "whatever u like" anyway

that was spoiled for me by always hearing Status Quo in my head

imminent album entirely produced by the-dream and tricky, it seems

i would be hyperventilating a few years ago, now i'm cautiously thinking "well let's see if there's any magic left at all"

I remember watching VMAs and Wayne subbing for T.I. on idoidoidowhateveryoulike before he was "officially" big

v important memory

yeah that was funny just because there was no official studio remix with Wayne and he clearly just wrote lyrics for the occasion of the performance and worked in references to MTV and filling in for T.I.

lol yes that was great

imminent album entirely produced by the-dream and tricky, it seems

also... what

when was the last time dream & tricky even worked together? he's been producing by himself or with los for a few years now it seems

every Scherzinger project spends 4-5 years in the vault before hitting the public so it's possible the tracks are that old already

if they're releasing an entire album of five year old songs i'm even more dubious

tbh i'd rather an album of five-year-old terius songs that an album of 2014 terius songs

fair

i can't remember who else he's written for recently but everything he worked on on the rihanna and beyone albums was stellar

Nicole Scherzinger is about to storm back with a complete cracker of a single

iggy azalea feature?

i can't really understand doing a top 5 scherzinger songs that doesn't include "super villain" or "whatever u like"

i didn't even realize until looking at wiki just now that Scherzinger had several sizeable solo hits in the UK. that didn't happen at all in the US, never got any real visibility outside of the Pussycat Dolls.

she replaced cheryl cole as an x factor judge and came across pretty well i think

the uk has really become this dumping ground for american flops to rebuild their career because britishers have no clue. then we give them back to you! hence iggy azalea happening.

i just learned that "damaged" was a danity kane song, not a pussycat dolls one

I would like a whole album of songs like "I Hate This Part" please.

This new song is amazing.

ready for your love
my love
...
your love. ok

i really like this song, which is surprising

it's not very teriusy at all

but it has all these switch-ups! so much more interesting than the route-one redone bosh nicole did last time

Soundcloud version has gone now, found a youtube cut though - sounds great! Doo doo doo doo....

this song remains amazing. double breakdown!

I hope she's ended up with all the Christina Milian rejected songs from her marriage to Terius

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
