Her Name Is Delayed

Nicole Scherzinger's debut solo album is now set for a June release. Three whole seasons late from it's original release date of October 2007. I'm guessing her record label is not taking "no" for an answer; they're determined to get this girl a hit. They're most recent attempt at topping the charts, Puakenikeni, hasn't made an impact yet. All I can say at this point is 'good luck.' She's talented, and I enjoy her voice but, people just don't seem to warm to her unless she's got six other women shaking it behind her. Oh well.

Kelly Rowland won't give up either. Her new lead single from the re-release of her failed disc Ms. Kelly, the really chill Daylight, is her attempt to salvage what was honestly, a good album. Unfortunately, it's not exactly catching on.

I can't really explain why these girls aren't achieving better results. If you wanted to argue that pop music right now isn't exactly brimming with talent, I'd be hard-pressed to disagree with you, but these girls don't fit in that category. Both can hold their own on a stage, Nicole especially, and their solo material isn't much of a departure from what they did as part of a group. Kelly may be able to blame poor promotion, especially since she spends an inordinate amount of time in Europe, but Nicole has absolutely saturated pop culture as of late. She's always performing somewhere. So, I toss my hands up.

"Why don't you SCREAM?"

Really feeling this song as of late. Check out how sexy Nicole looks in a ski mask.
