Olly is at the Hammersmith Apollo for the Nicole Scherzinger concert to speak to fans.
Coming off the success of her debut album, ‘Killer Love’, female American pop star and former Pussycat Doll, Nicole Scherzinger has now begun her highly anticipated ‘Killer Love’ Tour. Recently playing at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin, Ireland, Nicole continued her tour on Saturday 18th February 2012 at London’s Hammersmith Apollo. First coming to people’s attention back in 2005, Nicole was lead singer of American girl band ‘The Pussycat Dolls’. The band were an instant hit due to their sassy nature as a girl group, the group was considered to have more of an attitude in their music in contrast to the more saccharine girl groups of recent times. It was the single “Don’t Cha”, where ‘The Pussycat Dolls’ posed the question “Don’t Cha Wish You’re Girlfriend Was Hot Like Me”, that epitomised their feistiness and sexual confidence as a group. More hit singles followed and with this, the band incurred several line-up changes with members coming and going and this was serialised in 2007 when the band televised their search for a new member in reality show, ‘Pussycat Dolls Present : The Search For The Next Doll’. Since the Pussycat Dolls, Nicole Scherzinger has moved on to bigger and better things with the artist dabbling in many different projects in music, television and film. A background of training in musical theatre, Nicole has performed in anniversary concerts of two long running musicals, ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ and ‘The Phantom of the Opera’, the latter having Scherzinger perform the title song on the Royal Variety Performance. Scherzinger has also appeared as a judge on British TV talent show, ‘The X-Factor’ with the singer filling in temporarily for the then absent Cheryl Cole and Danni Minogue, her appearance in the show won her critical praise for her natural screen presence and personality as a judge. This led to music and media mogul Simon Cowell offering Scherzinger the full time position of judge and mentor in the first series of the American version of ‘The X-Factor’. More opportunities have followed for Nicole and this summer, fans can look forward to seeing her appear in the third sci-fi comedy instalment, ‘Men in Black III’. Debut album ‘Killer Love’ has so far been a resounding success for Nicole with the record going gold in the UK and producing the popular dance-pop track “Poison”. Now performing her ‘Killer Love’ tour here in the UK, WinkBall video reporters Oli and Julia were down at the Hammersmith Apollo to speak to fans who had come to see Nicole Scherzinger perform. Talking to fans,, reporters were asking them what had brought them down this evening to see Nicole perform and what is it that they specifically love about Nicole Scherzinger as an artist?
