August 16, 2007 New Video: Nicole Scherzinger
Check out Nicole Scherzinger in her new video for her debut single “Whatever You Like”. First off, she’s super duper gorgeous. Second, even though she missed some of the execution on the weird and earthy movements the first box scene was mind-blowing!! Third, even though the video was initially really jarring, I love the cinematography of the video.
This is a bad habit of mine but every time I listen to a song or watch a video, they always remind me of other videos. When I saw this video this is what I thought of:
Madonna’s “Human Nature”, Beyonce’s “Ring The Alarm”, and Tamia’s “Stranger In My House”.
At the end of the day I guess we all have our influences and I do like the video! I think the overall point of the video was accomplished which was to show how naturally beautiful Nicole is. Nicole S. has clearly put everyone in the game on notice!

Naw B. You are not overthinking this because I was thinking the same thing. I also threw in Janet’s Everytime, J-Lo’s Waiting for Tonight, and some others. Totally unoriginal.

the box idea , is from a performance artist in the 90’s … she was based in ny . The whole show was her in a little box contorting her body … so maddonna bit her too .. the song is cute ,the cinematography is nothing new … I think they want her to take beyonce’s place … why she look so dark in the video … They got to come with something better

Let me be the first to go against the grain and say I LIKED IT.
Nicole suspended upside down in the box: YESSSS!
Cinematography: YES
T.I. a sex symbol & inches away from her body: YESS
Video concept: Unique
Her dancing: Uhhh, not quite
I would’ve like to see the concept as something a little more futuristic, asian inspired though cuz that’s what the track gives me.

This bitch has the potential to tear up the VMA’s, Britney style. I don’t know if she’s performing, but with this song………..I’m just saying.

like the song…hate the video….and dare I say it…I almost wish she was with PCD if this is all she is bringing in terms of dancing/music video execution
oh and T.I. needs to take his skeletor behind home to his chilluns and Tiny……and heck let’s be real…when is him and Tiny gonna make a video/album??? she can sing a heckuva lot better than Nicole, got a ghettofabulous attitude like a Keyshia Cole too???…AND ’tis the season for musical comebacks…I’m just saying, Momma need to make money too!!!

I don’t like this song, but the vid is ok. And that dude from the Chris Brown vid yelling, gets on my nerves.
