It honestly comes from place of a disappointed former fan. Like I just saw much potential in her before. But her solo singles just weren't....hits. And then I didn't like her extreme desire to go solo...especially when PCD was doing SO GOOD at the time. It was almost like she used the group for a solo career...not knowing she really needed the group more than she thought.

I don't know why I just did this long ass explanation

....but yes, I was a fan once upon a time ago.

And you're right...I don't have the final say. But she's had countless opportunities...and it's just not looking good. But who knows....

I get it, but the reality is she is never going to have any major success even with her potential and talent. I don't think people care for her happen and the end of the day, you need some audience to support you. No producers or label is going to invest much in someone who has no wide appeal. There is a reason why Doll Domination delivered hits even though they were Her Name is Nicole leftovers.

By the way, using the group as a platform is a fact. Nicole only attended the PCD audition because she wanted Interscope's A&R to notice her, but she impressed them and they were persistent. Nicole earned her solo deal in exchange for taking the group deal. If she were more business savvy or had someone like Matthew Knowles behind her, she could have done it properly by staying with the group longer and promoting a sisterly image like Beyonce did, but the other Dolls said she did her work, went home alone and kept to herself.

Like Inverted said, she used the group since the beginning. She asked for a solo deal along with the PCD deal and she was the only member who was actually signed and not hired.
She just went solo too early. I bet the label/Robin Antin thought that HNIN would give her the time she needed and then bounce back into the brand again. But it all didnt went what they hoped for. Gave Nicole the responsibility to create Doll Domination and she got all the backlash in the end. Jai Ho! was also meant to be her solo single, but also was labeled under the PCD umbrella. You have to understand it was probably hard to want to live your dream, but also have to do that under a different name, with 4 others who also are thirsty.

I don't think they ever hoped for HNIN to do well. It was just a concession given to Nicole in exchange for her part in PCD.

Also, I don't think it's fair to the others thirsty. Like Ashley said in Behind the Music, if Nicole gave in and let them the label make "Jai Ho" a PCD song, why include Nicole's name separately? Sometimes you have to compromise.
