Solo success has largely eluded Scherzinger stateside. Could this single help reverse her fortunes?

Its catchy. What label is she on? I think if her label gets behind her and pushes it at the stations it could catch on here.

Did anyone else notice that that swimsuit vid had a song playing in the background?


I muted it. It was much better.

The overall sound of the track implies its targeted for European audiences.

Neither the song or the video were that interesting. Sounds like the type of unimaginative "summer music" that's intended to be played in those big "beach themed" parties attended by no one that is over 24.

It will be a european release mainly because that is her market and where she retains residence for the most part. There is NO market in the USA at this point for most artists anyway so why even attempt it.

still can't figure out why she can't get a hit single in America the American public embraced her when she was in the Pussycat Dolls.Why are they avoiding her now that she's solo?

I think she just needs a great song.I have yet to hear a solo song from her that's as catchy and inviting as "Dontcha".

Labels dont know what to do with her, but you arent going to market her in america now, she is 36, thats old age today in music and has been for awhile. Her work with PCD doesnt translate like that for alot of reasons, One, its not a slam dunk that a solo artist will be a HIT, examples, Mick Jagger and Freddie Mercury had dreadful sales of solo albums. And almost no hit singles with the exception of one that Mick had. Two, when that whole machine of PCD was sucked dry for everything it had left, i think people just rode it out on her and them, they sold over 10 million of their debut and added in with the second album and singles sold worldwide they are in the 25 million range, so i am not surprised she caught on overseas, i mean i said it way back then that NICOLE was not marketable in this country, be it her background, race, look, attitude, whatever it may be it just will not happen here. But i dont think she is losing sleep, cause she is still one of the top earning female artists still each year. As for as catchy songs her debut had a few, "Trust me I lie" could have been major but hearing what AMERICA plays, never gonna happen. "Powers Out" a duet with Sting also could have been a major AC hit, since when cant Sting get a song out there, label refused to release it as a single or allow it. It was also known that she did work with Chris martin of Coldplay after their second album but nothing surfaced here.

The beat of this song sounds like 400 other songs that come out in the last 5 years. I can't believe artists don't get bored recording this shit! It's not a soul experience, that's for sure.

oh come on,Nicole can actually sing Her problem is not a lack of talent.

think this song needs a guest rap from PSY or Snoop - and then it will become a hit

sike

She is SOOOOOOOOOOO intensely beautiful, spirited, well-read and talented! I hope she scores a big hit with this!

No, you're right about that, her problem is not with the pipes, it's with her complete lack of personality and soul.

Although this song isn't going to help her any, I don't think. I first heard it a couple of weeks ago and though it was decent enough for what it is, but I'm only on my second listen now and already those trumpet sounds are intensely irritating.

Overall, this acoustic version is a huge improvement over the original release.

Maybe she's just too damn beautiful!

I am partial to this one though:

I see she got her tits reduced. They're looking better.
