She needs to fire the team around her. I mean... mess. As if anyone out there is listening to the leaks. The GP is NOT checking for them, So he needs to stop talking BS.

Well, it was her call to live in the UK and expect the US to remember or pay attention to her overseas while she's on the X Factor. Like

Then she left Interscope for RCA UK/Epic US and expected to smash with those labels WW, she basically left her chance, if she stayed in the US and promoted more over here with the Interscope Geffen A&M team, she may possibly have had a chance.

It leaked in 320 kbps.

NAWT that ancient song

She had various US tries with Interscope/Geffen before she decided to focus on the UK though. Interscope has tried various failing campagnes with questionable moves.

I mean just look at her debut era, in a short form
- Debuts 'Whatever U Like'
- Label sends it to pop radio formats and expects it to catch on, while it actually should have send to more potential formats.
- Single fails to make much impact
- album announced for a September release
- Label leaks Baby Love and Supervillian to see what the reaction is online
- Label releases Baby Love as full length single and releases Supervillian to clubs/radio as promo single
- Baby Love does decently worldwide, but failes to make any impact in the US
- album pushed back to October
- Label adds a poll to her official single and promises to release the winner of the poll as next single (which also causes snippets of various songs to leak)
- Label changes poll options various times
- Label announces poll winner 'Puakenikeni'
- Label only releases Puakenikeni as promo single
- Album gets pushbacked with tentative early 2008 release
- Label releases Happily Never After as promo single
- Things go quiet
- PCD announces comeback
- Nicole announces that both PCD album and solo album will co-excist
- When I Grow Up gets announced
- Album gets shelved and never gets out

Interscope also really wasn't the tea, her biggest fault in her career was even to try other US attempts after Her Name Is Nicole. Would she had focused completely on every market, except the US. And would have released on yearly basis, her career probably would have been globally pretty succesful.

I mean Interscope was also the label who decided to release her eventual debut Killer Love in phases globally and who thought it was a good idea to release the song 'Nobody Can Change Me' as first solo single after the Doll Domination era, only to scrap it as soon as it hit radio in the US.

LOL @ him suggesting her fans are her worst enemy. What a dick generalization. And now punishing all of the other fans who didn't leak it? They are a ****ing mess.

She should be lucky that she has any ****ing fans left.

Release the ****ing mixtape.

Or can someone just leak Her Name Is Nicole in full already? So I can just have that masterpiece and stop having to pay attention to her.

Yeah I am here for a HQ leak of the HNIN full. Like, someone HAS TO have it

Oh my God! Nothing works as expected for her. It's sooo saaad. She has the vocal and musical talent to smash, as well as the performance/dancing skills, but she's her own worst enemy. She and her team. She needs to fire them all and sing with a more competent PR team.

Oh well. I got Pretty so I'm happy

i feel bad for her

her team is a mess

honestly, she should release on iTunes and all streaming services whole Her Name Is Nicole album as well as one or even two mixtapes called "Lost Tracks Part 1", "Lost Tracks Part 2", put there all songs that have positive reception from fans (Gusns & Roses, Part of Me ballad, Cold with Dave Aude, all tracks that leaked now and most of all PRETTY), this would do more good than damage, she would do a lot of buzz on her name and she should premiere new single at X Factor finale, then new album on March 2017.

And what is important - focus mainly on Europe and world, not U.S. Release all of that on U.S. as well, but it was proven manny times that U.S. isn't her main market.

it's like she is this decade Anastacia, american but not successful in her own country.

I am not the biggest endorser of leaked unreleased music, but in Nicole's case, it is literally the only thing that gave her a core fanbase after all these years. The woman shelved 8 albums, and if it wasn't for a handful of leaks or a few features every other year, I think most people already would have jumped ship that are still currently supporting her. At the end of the day she is a singer, and when you don't release music as singer, but are doing 9238230943 irrelevant TV-shows and once in a while XFactor, only to shelve an other single or album or not use it at all, but cry when your music gets leaked, than you just know something is wrong.

Her music has been leaking for a over a decade now. She had recorded over 200 songs when she was about to release HNIN September 2007, and recorded loads more, she probably has around 2000 songs laying somewhere collecting dust, while not releasing music.

If she would just record and release her material soon after it's done and lock up the few leftovers of those album sessions, she probably wouldn't have this problem at all.

!

I am sorry, but she needs to give it up. That sounds so horrible but she's tried to many times and it's not worked...excluding The Pussycat Dolls, of course.

Queen of scraping musical projects

its not about charting or something. She is in media since 2006 and she is still rocking.
As fan i just wanna new music thats all. She won't be big act, believe me or not but she still has fans who wants music.

But isn't it...sad that Nicole has more UK fans than her native country? I'm asking you humbly, cause I would feel kind of left out and frustrated, because my artist decides to scrap material every 15 minutes.

Well, that's kind of an overstatement. She had a big hit with her first group and then her solo career isn't as much of a disaster as it may look. She had plenty of UK hits and Don't Hold Your Breath - Right There was a decent 1-2 punch globally, with the latter even doing a little something in the US (after tons of promo, of course). She just followed that up with nothing but chaos, cancellations and confusion (J-esper has summed it all up). The only time she *almost* got it together since then is Run. Cute UK promo, Epic US making a (minimal) effort to launch it in the US...

Adrienne Bailon (3LW / Cheetah Girls), who's also shelved like 2 albums and has been delaying her solo work for ages explained that it's because she's scared to fail. "I'd rather my music not come out than for it to come out and be bad". I could definitely apply that to the Nicole's career in the last 5 years. And I also think she's battling with some form of depression. I get that a lot from her interviews. Sometimes, when the topic is her music, she looks and sounds almost defeated. I don't know, maybe I shouldn't be trying to interpret that. Rooting for her anyway!
