Pitch 204 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 WELCOME TO THE NICOLE SCHERZINGER THREAD! Nicole Scherzinger (born June 29, 1978) is an American recording artist, actress and television personality. Following her departure from Eden's Crush, she auditioned for the burlesque inspired recording group, The ***cat Dolls and she subsequently signed a contract with Interscope Records. The group's debut album, PCD (2005) and its follow-up Doll Domination (2008) both set records for girl groups. It was a breakthrough in her career that brought her to widespread prominence. Many of the group's songs became worldwide hits including "Don't Cha", "Stickwitu", "Buttons", "When I Grow Up", "I Hate This Part" and "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)". However, despite their commercial success, the group was plagued by internal conflict which led to the downfall and disbandment of the group. Scherzinger's long-delayed debut solo album, Killer Love (2011), incorporated elements of eurodance and club pop music. Its singles "Don't Hold Your Breath" and "Right There", although not major hits on the American charts, became top-ten hits in several countries worldwide. Scherzinger left Interscope Records in late 2013 and signed a multi-million dollar contract with Sony Music Entertainment and RCA Records. Scherzinger has sold 60 million records worldwide when combining her tally as a member of the ***cat Dolls and her solo career. ➜The ***cat Dolls PCD (2005) In November 2002, Scherzinger had seen The ***cat Dolls, a burlesque troupe, performing on the Late Show with David Letterman, where Carmen Electra sang "Big Spender" from the Bob Fosse musical Sweet Charity. In 2003 Scherzinger auditioned for the group when they were re-cast as recording artists. The group's creator Robin Antin and Interscope Records chairman Ron Fair had been impressed with Scherzinger's audition; offered her the position as lead vocalist for the group and a solo recording contract. In September 2005, the band released PCD, an album combined with several dance-pop songs interlacing their burlesque style, while the second half of the album contain tributes and covers. PCD was certified double-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and sold 3 million copes in the United States. To date, PCD has sold 10 million copies worldwide. The group became one of the top-selling artists in 2006, while the album appeared at number twelve on the Billboard 200 year-end chart that year. At the end of 2006, the IFPI reported that PCD was the 12th best-selling album worldwide and third by a female act. By 2007, it had sold 8 million copies globally. PCD has also sold 1,246,769 copies in the United Kingdom making the group the only female band besides The Spice Girls to surpass a million sales, and one of the best selling albums of the 2000–09 decade. The success of the group's debut album led them to became the most successful girl group in the world since The Spice Girls ten years ago. Doll Domination (2008) It was released in the United States on September 23, 2008 and peaked at number four on the Billboard 200. The album included singles "When I Grow Up" and "I Hate This Part" which peaked at number nine and eleven on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively. Both songs were originally recorded for Scherzinger's solo effort. The following year, The ***cat Dolls embarked on a worldwide concert tour, entitled the World Domination Tour which began on January 18, 2009. Following A.R. Rahman's expected win at the 2009 Academy Awards for Best Original Song and Best Original Score for "Jai Ho" and its soudtrack from Slumdog Millionaire, Scherzinger was asked to re-write and make a pop version of the song while on tour with the group. The song was entitled "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)" and Scherzinger was credited as a featured artist causing an internal strife within the group. The song reached number one in 17 countries and established Scherzinger as a solo artist. In the United States, it peaked at number fifteen on the Billboard Hot 100, after charging eighty-five places consequentially making the largest weekly leap from number 100. After the tour concluded in August 2009, the group announced a hiatus to further pursue solo careers.
