MUSIC: Pussycat Doll, Nicole's, first solo single

"Whatever you like" Nicole Scherzinger (Pussycat Dolls' lead singer) feat. T.I.

Nicole is doing a Fergie--producing a solo album with every intention of returning to the band/group that gave them their big break. Although Beyonce and Justin Timberlake both made this claim--ultimately ditching Destiny's Child and N'Sync--some artists, like Gwen Stefani--who is presently recording with No Doubt--really do keep their promises.

For Nicole's first solo single, she plays it safe making it a club track and keeping company with rapper T.I. After listening to it, I realized the only part that kept me interested was the beat, which is perfect for a night of carb-burning clubbing. But, she has to remember why girls like the Pussycat Dolls so much. They are the Las Vegas showgirls version of the Spice Girls. There has to be girl power, male ego-crushing, self-loving lyrics. It can't all be: "Me hot girl. Watch me gyrate." If you want to sell albums, you cater to women. If you want to sell magazines, you'll cater to men.
