Nicole is an incredible singer, dancer & performer! She won Popstars and had #1 single & gold album with Eden’s Crush selling 500,000+, then lead singer of the multi-platinum PCD selling 15+ million albums & 40+ million singles, won Dancing with the Stars, got rave review for RENT musical, been in movies & T.V. shows including judge for 2 seasons on The Sing Off and X Factor UK. Now she's doing X FACTOR USA! This girl amazes me!
The two girls that changed their minds didn't miss much. Remember when Eden's Crush was on Sabrina the Teenage Witch? This show inspired me to want to sing and be in a group. Oh... Those were the days...
The same thing that happened in The US also happened in The UK. Two Young Ladies named Pollyanna and Nicola B quit because they didn't like The "Contracts" while another was let go because she lied about her age named Hazel. If that hadn't happened things would have turned out so differently. The Three Girls who almost didn't get chosen Nicola Roberts, Nadine Coyle & Kimberley Walsh wouldn't have gotten into the Group known as Girls Aloud. They were the most successful Group not only in The POPSTAR Franchise but the most successful Reality Group in the UK. Yet there was more of a bond that Eden's Crush didn't have. They "all" sang lead while Nicole got the bulk of The Leads.
Nicole was like a dream to me she was unreal: beautiful a voice meant for pop music , dancing is off the charts, and she pulls focus with out trying. I can see why other girls would hate on her .. this group was lucky to have her as a leader
This early 2000s fashion is killing me. 😂 But what's funny is it will be considered vintage pretty soon... Just like the 90s. Anyway... What was happening at 3:25? 😂😂😂
@@Omgits7ito they definitely were! I was like 13 when they released the album with the Wreckoning and I remember seeing it at Gallery of Sound and sampling it and just 'feeling it' lol
@@mandyreigart it's funny that you replied to to my comment cuz it was literally a few days ago I started re-exploring their music. If their second album came out last summer it totally would have been more successful than when it was released in 2008 it's such an interesting vibe that no one was ready for in 2008. It's so crazy to even think how long ago that was.
Some people just aren't "made" to be in a Group. In The Canadian Versions they had some amazing singers but weren't chosen because they were too good to sing in a group. Also they had to look at Demographics. In the UK Girls Aloud had Five White Girls (Four British One Irish), the one who wasn't chosen was named Javine who was Biracial but she was more R & B. If the timing was better she could have been successful like alot of UK R & B Singers like Desiree, Princess, Joyce Sims and Caron Day (Soul To Soul). There were also Two Successful R & B Groups named Honeyz (Who were like En Vogue) and Eternal (Who were like SWV) but due to "Diva Drama" they all broke up.
She has aged. It's normal but I wish someone could tell her she doesn't need fillers. Fillers don't look good forever, as they migrate to different areas of the face over time.
Shaunda was always my favorite. But she was on a level beyond the others. She was for sure a soloist. Maile was a great choice for the group. Man, I remember Nicole was always so full of herself and showed a lot of fake innocence. I remember her making Maile cry being a full out diva. Never forgot that. And it looks like she never changed.
woww, they're all so beautiful, all unique faces. I got so used to what faces look like now, the beauty standards with all the trends and heavy makeup nowadays I forgot what the 90's & 2000's beauty aesthetics look and I kinda miss all of it.
Shaunda's mom was pissed, as she should have been, the decision was all about IMAGE because Shaunda is an OUTSTANDING singer, I wonder what she's doing now ?
The judges commented on this on the Popstars website, and Jaymes Foster-Levy made this comment at the beginning of the following episode. Shaunda was a fantastic singer, but she wasn't that good with singing in a group. She'd overpower the rest of the singers. That concern was pointed out in the first episode about Chaeza.
shaunda is now married with 3 sons. She has now taken her husband's name. She goes by Shaunda J. Gordon. Her husband and her are in the ministry. She has a new gospel album coming out in August.
Check out Pop stars The Rivals UK. A Lady named Javine wasn't chosen and she didn't go far. She tried to come back with Eurovision whose alumi were ABBA and Olivia Newton-John who lost but soldiered on. Javine wasn't as good as she thought. Ironically Nicole worked with Cheryl Ann Tweedy on The X Factor U S and Cheryl was in Girls Aloud (Pop stars UK). They were very successful.
It's so weird -- six years later, she was on the red carpet, apparently dating David Foster. Guess now we know why she was moaning when auditioning for him (maybe he invited her to audition because they already "knew" each other). hutchinsphoto.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/David-Foster/G000017n3t_wqXpU/I0000K65T5W3rerE/C0000YPrToy2w2fA
I have these tapes. My mom and I..our moths just dropped over when Sandra Vidal started signing. When she started saying..."Oooohh nooo," and then she started singing we like were silent for like five seconds then bust out in tears! Like we literally peed our pants. When the show was over we kept rewinding the fuckery back! Ahh good times.
Lmao that Sandra chick at 3:16... 😂😂 "ohh no" is right.. God that was awful. Other than Nicole, I feel like none of these chicks would make it past Simon Cowell if he was a judging back then.
@ImTheOne29 Actually, this group did not fail. They were quite successful and were on their way to be big stars. The album sold gold just after the 1st single. They just released the 2nd single when the record label folded and therefore, the group was disbanded.
Shaunda wasn't picked because she didn't fit with the multi-culti look they wanted for the group. I mean come on, I like Rosanna and Maile but there is no way they are better singers or performers. Also those other two left because the contract they had to sign was insane.
yeah the "sell your soul" part of the contract didnt agree with the 2 most christian members of the top 10.. crazy too bad cause the white girl with the short hair had an excellent tone kinda like ana maria i wonder if she made the group if ana would have still been in the group?
What happened with her was similar to what happened with Javine Hylton on Popstars: The Rivals in The UK. She made the Top Six but didn't make the Group. She was upset and although she had Two Singles and was big in Japan for a hot minute, she didn't go far. She broke up a Marriage by having another Man's Baby and even went and Competed in Eurovision that Abba, Olivia Newton-John and even Celine Dion participated in back in the day along with a UK Group called Blue, she didn't go far either. Another sad fact was that Daniel Pearce of The Boy Band One True Voice Flopped and he tried to come back on The Voice UK as well as The X Factor and didn't go far. 16 Years had passed since Girls Aloud were formed and although they broke up in 2013, they are still in the Public Eye.
I actually remember watching this episode when it first aired. I'm actually glad Taryn Manning didn't make the group, because if she did there would have never been a 'Boomkat'.
Is near perfect. What usually happens with shows like these is the owner of the group finds one girl that they really like or they think has a marketable appeal- basically who they can get the most money out of- and then they build the group around her, and you can't build a group like that, because you will end up with one girl being the fav and the other girls being jealous. It happened with Destiny's child version 1 with the beyonce thing, it happened to danity kane with the dawn thing.
Diarra Ragland I would argue that Aubrey was the one Diddy tried to build on. He even said it. She’s the star that he built the group on. But she became a little too crazy for him and it ended up being Dawn to be his artist.
Nicole was only one in the Pop v group Edens crush that looked like a pop star v got hand it to Nicole she's amazing and talented to made the pussycat dolls shed say come on girls v love her now take back anything v bad I said bout Nicole sherzinger she's amazing ))
Jean took that rejection with so much class and grace and knew exactly what she wanted either way it went. I hope wherever she is in life now, she's doing great. She 100% deserves it.
Also looking back this was the Percursor to The Idol Franchise, The Voice, The Talent Show no matter what country is being represented and The X Factor. If you think these ladies had it rough, it's easier than what happened in 2002 when they did POPSTARS: The Rivals in The UK. The purpose was to create A Boy Band (One True Voice), and A Girl Group (Girls Aloud), everyone thought the Boys would win because at that time Boy Bands were still hot with Boyzone and Westlife (Who did Duets with both Mariah Carey & Diana Ross). Girls Aloud won while One True Voice faced into obscurity. They would go on to have 21 Top Ten Hits, Four Number Ones, and Six Platinum Albums. They are in the UK Edition of The Guinness Book Of World Records as the most Successful Reality Show Group. Also Cheryl Cole nee Tweedy was a Judge on The US Version of The X Factor while Nicole Scherzinger was on the UK Version of The X Factor as a Judge. Cheryl also has had Five Number Ones as A Solo Artist I The UK and Girls aloud stayed together for Ten Years. What I admire about them is that they all did just as well "without" each other. Kimberley Walsh did Shrek as Princess Fiona, while Sarah Harding did TV Movies like Freefall about the "Evil" side of Real Estate, and recently won Celebrity Big Brother. Nicola Roberts did a Solo Album, created a Cosmetics Line, and did a Reality Show called Styled To Rock while Nadine Coyle did a Solo Album and recently signed with a US Record Label. Eden's crush didn't do that.
Performers frequently audition for the sake of auditioning, with the assumption that they won't make it. It's to get the experience of auditioning. It's like how people frequently apply for jobs that they're not really that interested in, just to stay in the practice of applying for jobs. Sometimes they get the job, but there is something else that happens.
Sw499erB0iZ People who are unemployed and desperate for a job will apply for a job they don't want, but maybe that was a bad analogy. Anyway, a lot of performers audition just to get the practice of auditioning. An audition is a very nerve-wracking process. When they continue auditioning, however, it gets much easier. When I did my first serious audition, I decided to just do the audition and not get in. Very recently, I auditioned for a show, with full awareness that I wasn't going to get in, but I did the audition anyway, and it was a very valuable experience.
Margaux Yap couldn't stand Nicole Scherzinger apparently while Kerrie Roberts came from a Christian Environment who may have felt uncomfortable singing Songs with "Suggestive Lyrics". It's not as uncommon as you think. In The UK A Young Man named Peter dropped out of the competition on Popstars: The Rivals in 2002 because he lied about his age and he couldn't live with himself. He at last report was working as a Custodial Engineer (Janitor). He didn't miss much, One True Voice didn't make it.
Sometimes you go in thinking it's one thing then it could be another I think they felt their intuition was spot on the group is no longer around as much I think Nicole has talent she overshadowed the group it's a group not indiviual solo artist she even had issues in PCD . The long run they made the right decision
+danity don Finally, someone else understands the criteria. Also, Jaymes Foster-Levy pointed that out at the beginning of the following episode, and it was commented on on the Popstars website.
@Iris E a lot of times in group auditions they will eliminate girls that pull focus and have the ability to sing whole songs cause they themselves are a group . For example Pink she was in a group and the label dropped the other members and gave Pink a contract. Nicole as we have seen overtime does better in a group rather than being solo. Shuanda I do think should have been chosen but she was more.of a soloist. She had more.power at that time than nicole did.
when casting a group they usually zero in on one persons sound then they build the group based on tonality so they sound natural when harmonizing. when it comes to having solo in a song it comes down to how much character do you have in your voice not necessarily how much power each member has. there were a few girls that had lead vocal potential but placing them all in a group sonically wouldnt work. i think they were banking on Kerri to be in the group when she left they focused on building a group around Nicole cause she had a more "pop" sound to her voice.
@danitydon22 and in the end, the actual group wasn't even that good live. Every performance I've seen of them has backing tracks and I'm like...five girls need a backing track? Lol. I actually liked some songs on their album but live...not so much.
OMG!!! I can't believe Taryn Manning was on this show! It's amazing how many stars you see some place but end up famous through other avenues
Time stamps? 😂

How wierd it is to watch this back 11 years later and go 'OMG THAT'S TARYN MANNING!!' lmfao!!

to the 2 girls who have withdrawn, what was the point of even auditioning then.. I don't get some people....
Performers frequently audition for the sake of auditioning, with the assumption that they won't make it. It's to get the experience of auditioning. It's like how people frequently apply for jobs that they're not really that interested in, just to stay in the practice of applying for jobs. Sometimes they get the job, but there is something else that happens.
Robin Rayfield your comment made no sense to be honest, who applies for a job they aren't interested in...

People who are unemployed and desperate for a job will apply for a job they don't want, but maybe that was a bad analogy.
Anyway, a lot of performers audition just to get the practice of auditioning. An audition is a very nerve-wracking process. When they continue auditioning, however, it gets much easier. When I did my first serious audition, I decided to just do the audition and not get in. Very recently, I auditioned for a show, with full awareness that I wasn't going to get in, but I did the audition anyway, and it was a very valuable experience.
Margaux Yap couldn't stand Nicole Scherzinger apparently while Kerrie Roberts came from a Christian Environment who may have felt uncomfortable singing Songs with "Suggestive Lyrics". It's not as uncommon as you think. In The UK A Young Man named Peter dropped out of the competition on Popstars: The Rivals in 2002 because he lied about his age and he couldn't live with himself. He at last report was working as a Custodial Engineer (Janitor). He didn't miss much, One True Voice didn't make it.
Sometimes you go in thinking it's one thing then it could be another I think they felt their intuition was spot on the group is no longer around as much I think Nicole has talent she overshadowed the group it's a group not indiviual solo artist she even had issues in PCD . The long run they made the right decision
I’m cryingggg the beginning was hilarious
It ALL begin here...humble beginning...nice speech Mom!!! ;)
Legit though, Maile is BEAUTIFUL AF
finally I found it. I loved Popstars. I been trying to find it for years
Nicole's behind the music will air on vh1 sunday night 10/14/12! WATCH =)
Big ups to Tara!! She went from this to an actor ❤
For real tho some people who should have been in the group didn’t make it…
Some of these girls are amazing singers. Woah Nicole is one lucky lucky woman!
LOLOL when I watched this 3:16 is who I remembered right away too! lol and yes 3:48 is taryn manning from 8 mile and hustle and flow!
Shes very beatiful....nicole😚😚😚
Omg..so much more better picks in the one day audition omg
Why didn't Shaunda make it?? Her voice was amazing !!
Brianna Bombshell shes more a solo artist.. she does have an amazing voice tho
+danity don Finally, someone else understands the criteria. Also, Jaymes Foster-Levy pointed that out at the beginning of the following episode, and it was commented on on the Popstars website.
@Iris E a lot of times in group auditions they will eliminate girls that pull focus and have the ability to sing whole songs cause they themselves are a group . For example Pink she was in a group and the label dropped the other members and gave Pink a contract. Nicole as we have seen overtime does better in a group rather than being solo. Shuanda I do think should have been chosen but she was more.of a soloist. She had more.power at that time than nicole did.
Clearly they built this group around nicole.. I wonder who wouldn't have made the group and who would have if those 2 girls didn't leave
I wonder how many impressionable girls felt pressured to lay with executives to get ahead.
Is that Taraji Henson @1:51?! I know she had been on a few sitcoms in the 90s, but did she ever audition for this???
Oh my God, that does look like her! 😲
Favors her but don't think it's Taraji
Why did they hold last minute auditions for strong singers only to cut the strongest singer (Shaunda) in the competition? 🤨
when casting a group they usually zero in on one persons sound then they build the group based on tonality so they sound natural when harmonizing. when it comes to having solo in a song it comes down to how much character do you have in your voice not necessarily how much power each member has. there were a few girls that had lead vocal potential but placing them all in a group sonically wouldnt work. i think they were banking on Kerri to be in the group when she left they focused on building a group around Nicole cause she had a more "pop" sound to her voice.
@danitydon22 and in the end, the actual group wasn't even that good live. Every performance I've seen of them has backing tracks and I'm like...five girls need a backing track? Lol. I actually liked some songs on their album but live...not so much.
nicolee look so different before :O her eyes look smaller back then!
Nicole
7:24-7:32 NICOLE IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN GORGEOUS ... WOW
love her! shes amazing and shes really come so far :)
