The Pussycat Dolls performed their hit song "Buttons" & new single "When I Grow Up," which is off their sophomore album Doll Domination (September 16th), at the 2008 MTV Asia Awards yesterday. The performances were hot. Nicole had an excellent vocal delivery.
While we are on the subject, I'd like to give a little of my opinion on PCD lead singer Nicole Scherzinger, as there seems to be some discussion on the topic on some blogs today. Nicole is an excellent singer. While she may not be the second coming of Beyonce, she ain't no Rihanna. As quite the fan of Miss Nicole, what I find special about her is that she makes up for what she might lack in vocal ability with her creativity. When it came to her attempt at a solo career, I think the PTB made some wrong decisions on what to release as singles because, while I wasn't in love with "Whatever U Like" & "Baby Love," every other leaked song I heard from Nicole was FIYA. I think they wanted to define Nicole as a solo artist while keeping with the sexy image--then decided too late to stick all-too-closely to the PCD sound as well (see: "Stickwitu"). So, while there will probably be quite a wait until we hear from Nicole as a solo artist again (not that we won't hear from her--she basically IS PCD ... which is a good thing. Where would they be without her anyway?), I am plenty willing to wait for her music because I know she'll make it worthwhile. Thanks for enduring my rant. :)
