5) Nicole Scherzinger "Right There"

Nicole Scherzinger Performs "Pretty" On The X Factor

Nicole Scherzinger debuted her new single "Pretty" on The X Factor results show this week. It's got that Ryan Tedder production feel to it & I love it! Apparently Interscope doesn't give a rat's a$$ about it or her though or else it would've been on iTunes by now. Fingers crossed that Nicole's debut album Killer Love gets released next year.

Nicole Scherzinger showed off her hidden talent as an opera singer & performed a *proper* version of her latest UK single, while Leona Lewis sang covers both solo & as a duet with Cee Lo Green at this year's Royal Variety. They both did well, but Nicole blew me away!

Nicole Scherzinger Performs "Don't Hold Your Breath" On Leno

It baffles my mind why Interscope insists on continuing to push this fossil as a single, but regardless of my opinion, Nicole Scherzinger took the stage at The Tonight Show With Jay Leno to perform "Don't Hold Your Breath" off her upcoming debut album Killer Love (December 6th) & sounded nice. Did it ever occur to them the possibility that she's doing better in the UK because the music isn't stale when she puts it out there?!

Nicole Scherzinger Performs "Try With Me" On This Morning

Nicole Scherzinger continued promoting the UK re-release of her debut album Killer Love (November 14th) with a performance of her new single "Try With Me" on This Morning. This performance will give you so much vocal life!!

Nicole Scherzinger Performs "Try With Me" On The X Factor UK

Nicole Scherzinger returned to the land that appreciates her to perform her new single "Try With Me", which will be featured on the deluxe edition of her debut album Killer Love that will be released in the UK later this month, on The X Factor. She did an awesome job, & I can't wait for an even bigger & better showing on the US X Factor stage to give her December 6th album release date the boost it needs!

Nicole Scherzinger "Try With Me" Video Premiere + More

"Try With Me" is the lead single off Nicole Scherzinger's UK re-release of her debut album Killer Love, which is due November 14th, & supposedly her new US single as well (Killer Love comes out on December 6th in the US). I just learned of this song & we already have the video(!), which btw is gorgeous. I'm already obsessed with the song too & imagining its showstopping performance on the X Factor stage! Speaking of the Killer Love UK re-release, which might give us hints at what we can expect from the US version, they might as well call it The T Edition because it is set to feature three new songs: "Try With Me", "Trust Me I Lie", & "Tomorrow Never Dies".

Nicole Scherzinger Performs "Don't Hold Your Breath" On GMA

Nicole Scherzinger performed "Don't Hold Your Breath", the second single off her upcoming debut album Killer Love (November 15th), on Good Morning America & it did her a whole lotta nothin'. Aaand that's why we release singles here & in the UK at the same time! I just can't wait for her to perform a brand new smash on The X Factor & blow iTunes up!!

A slew of music's finest were on hand in Las Vegas this weekend at the inaugural iHeartRadio Music Festival. The highlight for me was definitely J.Lo! She sounded incredible too, don't cha think? ... My only complaint is that they need to hire someone who doesn't have a lead finger to man the censor button (see: Nicki Minaj). I mean, c'mon, the stars were already warned & if you're gonna allow someone like Nicki to perform something like "Did It On'em" anyway...

Nicole Scherzinger "The Hollywood Reporter" Magazine Cover

Two X Factor posts in a row--think Simon is trying to tell us something lol? Regardless, I have no problem posting about the lovely Nicole Scherzinger & co. on the cover of the latest Hollywood Reporter or Mariah, let alone watching them! Also on Nicole's plate of course is the November 15th release of her debut album Killer Love.

"Don't Hold Your Breath"



Interview
Nicole Scherzinger performed "Don't Hold Your Breath", now the official US second single off her upcoming debut album Killer Love (November 15th), & sat down for a quick chat on Live With Regis & Kelly. Considering it was already above "Right There" (which is actually a better song, but...) on iTunes before this performance, I suppose I'm pleased with the single choice!

Nicole Scherzinger "Wet" Video Premiere

"Wet" is the fourth UK single off Nicole Scherzinger's debut album Killer Love, which is due to hit US shores in November. I hope Interscope plans on kicking things up a notch here once The X Factor starts up because "Right There" is actually doing pretty well right now. That said, hot video!

Nicole Scherzinger Performs "Right There" On So You Think You Can Dance
