She' should just give it up

[Inverted]

I'm glad. Big Fat Lie was terrible so there was no point in a US release, especially when it flopped in the UK too. She paid for the album sessions herself before Epic/Sony signed her so hopefully now she gets label funding for better material.

I also hope she stops scrapping everything she does. I still don't understand why good material like Killer Love and even Her Name is Nicole didn't get quiet releases on iTunes. She could have built a fanbase by now like other smaller pop artists have. She's in this position because of her own poor decisions.

Why do people always say this? There are thousands of working singers around the world and the vast majority never see the success Nicole has. Besides, there's nothing to give up on when she doesn't even bother releasing the majority of the work she creates.

If she paid all those studio sessions by herself, might as well release it as an EP instead of letting her own money go to waste! And then meanwhile, work on an album funded by Epic. That's what I would've done tbh.

It's like she enjoys shelving stuff! I would've been hella depressed.

Why does she shelve her album all the time?

What a waste of studio time. All that money she wasted on 6 albums could go to Payola for her single on radio.

This is actually sounds smart, but I thought payola was illegal.

It is illegal but you can still get away with it

Let me be your manager, Priyanka.

Bye.

Haven't all of her albums been shelved OMG

[stephen1108]

So mad she wasted Electric Blue and First Time over ******** like On the Rocks and Run.

[PhoebeBuffay]

She should just go back with PCD.

[Adonis]

What difference does it make?

Does she hold the record for most shelved albums of any artist?

Troy Carter is my manager, but I haven't met him since 2012.

No, Killer Love and Big Fat Lie were released in the UK. She keeps shelving the US releases.

What does image mean?

How the public perceives you. Lady Gaga's image is what made her famous - the outlandish costumes that drew in attention. Not saying she has to do exactly that - she simply has to find her own direction and she just seems boring to the GP. There's nothing appealing about her persona. She comes off as kinda basic (even thougu we all know she has an amazing voice).

Poor Nicole

Nicole's image has always been a sultry sex siren because that's the only thing an "exotic" woman can sell in western media, but people don't deeply connect to it (other than looking at pictures of her on a blog/forum and saying she's hot) unless she's white or the token black female celebrities the industry sells to the GP.

I think she's better off as TV personality or as an actress where she'll be playing the "exotic" sexy girlfriend of a white man (see: Sofia Vergara, Salma Hayek, Eva Mendes, Jessica Alba, etc). She got really good reviews for Cats and Andrew Lloyd Weber always praises her so maybe musical theater.

She always wins these American Shows and yet, she can't win an audience over through music .. People are resistant to her. No matter how great of a vocalist she is..

YAAAAAS... I agree.. Even if it leaks, Im okay with it..

[ScherzyFan2001]

My poor Queen. She could never get a break. I wish one day she releases every song she ever recorded, just for her fans. She'll always be my #1

[Bunifah]

That's what she gets for still trying to be a solo artist when her best shot WILL FOREVER be 'coming back with the Pussycat dolls

[KLatz]

She should've released it in the US just so the fans here who have been waiting to purchase the album could, but I honestly don't think this is a bad idea. Nothing on the album was gonna pick up in the US, so it would've been a waste of resources to keep dumping money into the promo. She's doing the right thing by recording new material for her US relaunch. She should aim at a rhythmic-leaning material because that seems like her best bet at the moment.

[iamluisfelipe]

I'm so done with her

PCD was basically Nicole anyway, but forever coming back? They broke up in 2009 and still no comeback. They should come back already. They're still in contact with each other and it's not like they're doing anything big alone. I blame Robin.
