TIL: Nicole Scherzinger Was Meant To Be In The Black Eyes Peas.

You don’t need personality with those looks.

in the US music industry, looks aren't enough (which is surprising given our women worshipping simp culture). think of all of our biggest artists (like Ye, taylor swift, Future, etc)

All involved in some level of fukkery and drama. We love drama in the US. Only exceptions are artists like Adele, Kendrick and Olivia Rodrigo. Nicole was too old to appeal to teen girls like Olivia. Her music aint nearly as good as Adele or Kendrick regardless of how good she can sing. Dua Lipa doing movies to keep her name hot cuz she seems to not be into drama and fukkery.

plus she got a weird sounding German name (Sherzinger). Should have used a pseudonym

The girl they got on the Black Eyed Peas right now is a straight dime.

I’m an American

And if that’s true explain Madonna who cannot sing also explain every Rock singer ever …

Yeah, especially during that era you didn't need much else. You can completely fly by with your looks.

You still can but nobody got it all: face, natural body, talent. She was a rare one who put it together.

I think she was simply too old to go solo (three years older than Beyonce) because and was so attached to the p*ssycat Dolls brand at that point.

She had a good solo run at the start and was on some catchy songs but people were wondering where the group was when she released her stuff.

They spent millions
Nobody gave a fukk about those songs
Iovine said chill

p*ssycat Dolls had like 3 or 4 legit hits they still play at strip clubs though

Even today a lot of people can't match that beauty/singing combo. There are pretty people today but they all have that standard Kardashian look.

This era too

Is Rhianna a good singer …?

Is Taylor Swift a good singer …?

Sure they can sing in tune but compare them to someone like Yolanda Adams

Many of these singers get by with only looks …

uhhh....Madonna wasn't involved in fukkery and drama? Like a virgin video, the SEX book with Big Daddy Kane had America goin wild, she was OD sexual before that was the norm for American pop singers.

Rock stars whole life be fukkery, drama, sex and drugs. Rock died out because rock became pussified while rappers took the fukkery to new levels and added crime and gang violence. You are proving my point

My bad, didn't try to come off trying to argue. I agree with you but didn't word it clearly.

 

[Still Benefited]

Thecoli who trashes Tinashe,acting like Nicole Sheizenger was some great talent who slipped through the cracks

 

[Heafcliffe]

Crazy thing is their 1st albums without fergie were dope! Still crank'em!

you could argue the Chris Brown incident catapulted Rhianna to new heights. Plus Rhianna is WAYYY more interesting image wise and edgier than Nicole Sherzinger with a more dynamic personality.

tay was infamous for all her high profile relationships and the songs she would write about her exes. Nicole was in a relatively stable relationship for years. Also taylor is lily white with a marketable name. You are proving my point again lol

Ok so

If you aren’t boring you get attention … you need a gimmick if you can’t sing

Sad

But probably true

 

[IIVI]

I'm trying to think in Nicole's case: has the non-white/mixed lead singer of any group/band with mainly white members ever really popped like that even though they obviously had talent or the "it" factor?

They definitely weren't trying to see Mel B do her own thing.

But boy they sure let Justin Timberlake ditch everyone else and sail.

 

[Amerikan Melanin]

She wasn’t gonna piss on stage like Fergie.

I first saw BEP open for OutKast on their Aquemini tour in New Orleans… BEFORE FERGI. Fast forward a few years and I’m living in San Diego and I see BEP have a show coming up, so I get tickets. As soon as they introduced their newest member and she tried to hit a note and failed…



I was out. I didn’t even stay to hear them finish that song. They were already late to begin with.
