14 DAY TRIAL // After a period of very bad press for openly refusing to take a stand in the elimination of 13-year-old contestant Rachel Crow on X Factor, Nicole Scherzinger could use some positive attention.
Hopefully, she'll get it with her recent live performance on the same show. Nicole sang “Pretty,” another track included on her LP “Killer Love,” which is yet to get a US release.
You can see a low-quality video of the performance embedded above.
“Pretty” makes it crystal clear that Nicole is trying very hard to move away from the mainstream pop sound many have come to associate her with, in a bid to prove that she's a versatile artist, perfectly able to do inspirational ballads like this one.
Whether her efforts are successful is for you to say. Personally, we do get a faint feeling that she may be trying to hard, but do let us know how you feel about the performance below, in the comments section.
