Snoop Dogg is performing at this year's NFL Christmas Day Gameday halftime show and Netflix says there are "additional surprise guests, to be revealed live on Christmas Day". Nicole, who rarely posts about PCD, posts yesterday about the music video for Buttons (featuring Snoop Dogg) reaching a billion views on YouTube and "what's to come": https://www.instagram.com/nicolescherzinger/reel/DSctPkPDG3u/ Wouldn't it be nice if the Dolls were the surprise guests?! 😂 To be clear, I HIGHLY DOUBT this is what's happening and have zero information but it's fun to speculate and look forward to a future with new pop music and performances. What do you think she means by "what's to come"? How do you want PCD to reunite?

This is soooooooooooo far away but I just realized that as a "principal vocalist" on the upcoming Sunset Blvd album, Nicole could be in the running for a Grammy in 2026. I completely forgot that there's a category for Best Musical Theater Album and it sounds like she'd be eligible. I hope everything continues to fall into place for her!

Yes, it is quiet but most of what we get from Nicole these days is stuff that people in this thread don't care about: brand endorsements, TikTok trends, vacations, private gigs, and even the Masked Singer when she was judging (unless she's performing of course). I don't want this to be taken the wrong way. She should feel proud. She is incredibly successful and has created a great lifestyle for herself, which is hard to do in entertainment as you get older. She also seems very happy, both professionally and personally, which is important! It's just frustrating because some of her outstanding work like her performance of Reflection and WINNING AN OLIVIER can get overshadowed by everything else. I don't blame her though. If any of us were her business advisors, could we honestly say that working on an album is the best use of her time and money?

I hope you're right! ***** Speaking of music, I've been wondering about this… April 5, 2020 was the original start date for the Dolls' tour but three weeks before that, everything shut down because of COVID. Were we literally three weeks away from getting a bunch of new Dolls music or were the Dolls going to start the tour with “React" as their only new song? It's probably also fair to assume that Nicole did a large part of the recording / executive producing for new Dolls music. Who has ownership of this music? Is Nicole contractually prevented from releasing this music? There's a document in the lawsuit saying that Nicole “shall have final decision making powers in respect of matters pertaining to such recording agreement" but recording is not the same as ownership or distribution. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I believe this quote comes from a talent manager at YMU Group. She signed with them last year.

Do we know what’s happening with the lawsuits that Nicole and Robin filed against each other? It seems like there was meant to be a trial by jury this week but I don’t even know where to look to find more information. https://twitter.com/portalnicole/status/1551047175668482048

Not a lot happening with her music unfortunately but The View posted a reel on Instagram where you can hear a lot more of Nicole’s vocals on the “For My Girls” song than I think we’ve ever heard before: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cv_EsV6t53A/

I will be patient and give Nicole and her team the benefit of the doubt but it’s frustrating to see them miss opportunities build up the fan base. Some examples: - From looking at Nicole’s socials, how would a casual Nicole fan have known that she would be performing in Sydney? There are probably many Aussie’s that are fans that didn’t even know about the performance. - Why don’t her socials have any pictures or videos of her show? Posting these would help remind her followers about her talent and maybe they’d remember those clips when they hear she’s coming to their city. Why not show us anything from behind the scenes (a vocal warmup, wardrobe prep, rehearsal footage, how the dancers were chosen, etc.), especially since you clearly put in so much effort to get ready for the show? - Her That’s My Jam performance is doing incredibly well but you wouldn’t know she was even on the show from looking at her socials at this moment. - Similar to Pretty, Victorious, and React, she debuted a brand new song with a live performance. If I thought the song sounded great, how can I find out when it gets released? Can I pre-save it? I know that none of this is new but it doesn’t change how frustrating it is to watch. Especially because we know that her team is very talented. From looking at her TikToks, it’s clear that she has a team that’s capable of executing on a social media strategy and producing high-quality content. It’d be nice to see some of their attention go towards highlighting the thing that separates Nicole from everyone else: her voice. I hope that I’m overreacting and that they’ve already got all of this figured out.

Thanks for posting this clip! Seeing this reminded me that Nicole has spoken about how she views this next project as her Sasha Fierce moment. Maybe half of the songs on this project will be more warrior-like and the other half will be “graceful”, as she calls it?

Not a lot of Scherzy news recently but here’s a throwback clip. Back in 2005, they played Don’t Cha on Ellen and Mariah said “I love that song!”:

Nominations for the Primetime Emmy Awards are going to be announced in just over a week. Critics really seemed to like Nicole in Annie. Do we think she’s got a shot at being nominated?
