It was just announced that Nicole will perform with Andrea Bocelli in Dublin this September. She is also going to perform with him in June at the Hollywood Bowl.
I love how she's taking a much more mature and serious direction with the music, working with great and established artists outside of Pop music. She's exposing herself to all kinds of different demographics and genres and she's earning fans from different aspects of music and entertainment.
There are also rumors that she's in talks with the X Factor people for a possible return, but I seriously doubt she's returning, even If they want her to. She should just focus on expanding her brand instead of doing X factor. Not that I would mind her doing it, since it means we'll get to see her every week and she'll be on the news and her name will be out there, but I'd rather have her focus on her career.
But this recent X Factor news prove how great she was and that she's definitely left her mark on the franchise. Most articles talking about the show mention Nicole's name, even now, 3 years after her departure. And I've seen so many people on twitter begging for her return.
This year is going to be truly great for Nicole.
