The whole scha-bang

She can sing (boy, can she sing), she can dance (jive, anyone?) and she’s the most successful X Factor mentor ever (not bad for her first season). Nicole Scherzinger ir pure TV gold.

For Nicole Scherzinger it’s been, in her own words, a scha-mazing year. In her first season on The X Factor, the judges became the most successful mentor ever when all three of her acts made it into the top five, and James Arthur and Jahméne Douglas went on to win first and second places. “I mean, I don’t want to brag, but you can put that down,” she deadpans in the mischievous tone that convinced you to vote her TV Personality of the Year.

“It’s exciting and fun to know that I wasn’t a complete failure on television, thank you!” she says happily of her Women of the Year awards. “I couldn’t have imagined it being any better. And the Brits embraced me. They were just as bonkers as me, and really gave me the confidence to be myself and have fun with it.”

Initially, the 34 year old – who had previously appeared as a guest judge – had her reservations about signing up, “There was such positivity when I did the guest judging, so I didn’t want to mess that up. And when I came over, my welcome in the press was, ‘We want Mel B. Nicole’s boring.’ I thought, ‘What am I walking into?’ But then I decided I’d give you everything I’ve got and if you didn’t love it, there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Of course, we did love it, and it was in no small part to do with her loopy proclamations about the contestants. “That’s how I usually speak in real life,” she insists of phrases like ‘spunky’ and ‘warm apple pie’, “You hear the same adjectives over and over. I thought, ‘We’re supposed to be in a creative setting, so let’s get creative with hoe we give our critiques!”.

Nicole’s priority now is turning that creativity towards “getting an album right, so I can set up a great tour – everything else is up in the air.” And whether it’s music, TV or touring, we’re sure she’ll be doing in her own (inimitable) way.
