[edit] Bias statement

is this really appropriate? It's so subjectively written. perhaps someone can edit the paragraph to take out the bias, "Scherzinger is what entertainment industry executives call “a triple threat.” This free-spirited artist is not just another pretty face; she can sing, act, and dance. In a business that has been criticized for placing more emphasis on “image” than “ability” she shatters stereotypes with her blend of exotic beauty, charisma, and undeniable talent." gold3nrul3 13:47, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I have reverted article to an earlier version without the POV para and have restored the removed wikilinks --Design 03:31, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

I removed the POV para (again?) and added a line about her high school. --Jamiem 02:23, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Filipino

She's really filipino? damn! i thought she was half indian.. but whatver.. now i'm proud to be filipina! haha jk..seriously she's filipina? whoa!

• Hard to believe that it's that shocking to anyone. pattersonc 21:16, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
• yeah wow I was suprised too, she doesnt look filipina

• A recent anon.edit changed her birth father's nationality/ethnicity from Filipina to Hawaiian. What's the truth? All other sources say she has Hawaiian/Russian/Filipino ancestry. 05:29, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Its simple! As said in the Richard & Judy interview, Nicole says her mother is hawaiian/russian and his dad is filipino.

[edit] Miss Puerto Rico

Why does she play Miss Puerto Rico? When she`s not from Puerto Rico?

• Because they were passing hot women who could pass as Puerto Rican. pattersonc 21:16, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Scherzinger - a German surname

"Scherzinger" is a typical southern German and Swiss-German surname. It is derived from the Swiss town "Scherzingen", which is located in the border region of Germany and Switzerland.

Scherzinger is her stepfather's name, and her mother is half Hawaiian.

• I have re-inserted her stepfather's name (Gary Scherzinger), as I think it is elevant to her bio to know that she uses his name and not her biological father's surname. Someone keeps anonymously removing his surname, perhaps they think it is just a style issue? This might be solved if someone knows Nicole's biological father's name & adds it to the bio. Design 12:51, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

This article needs to be edited. Her biological father is Filipino and her mother is Hawiian and Russian. Her stepfather is of European decent however. http://www.nicole-scherzinger.net/bio/bio.html

[edit] Leaving PCDolls

Popdirt confirmed that the story that said Nicole was leaving the group was fake. http://popdirt.com/article47271.html She is planning on releasing a solo CD, however.man I heard she was from minnesota.

[edit] Whistle Register

She does not have enough range to have her even being thought of as a whistle register-cabable singer. Maybe Melody from PCD but I havent heard anything from her that would make me believe it. Myke 23:59, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Thats weird she never sings high at all but she does use whistle register. Myke 01:30, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

in the song 1000 words and the song let me know whats happen

Please cite a reputable media source stating that she has the ability to whistle-sing. Wikipedia does not encourage original research, which is what this claim currently is. I've removed it as an unverified fact. Cheers, --Marysunshine 03:08, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

There is still an "edit war" occurring, where anon. users replace "cat:whistle register singers" without a source. So far all we have is seemingly "original research" about Scherzinger's voice in the songs "1000 Words" and "Let Me Know What Happens". See comment above by Marysunshine. The cat. should be removed until verified. --Design 03:29, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Why do people continue to argue about these whistle register singers. Everybody just needs to go ahead and admit that the talent is not as rare as it supposely was. Most females have the talent now, so its shouldn't be a big deal.<unsigned>

Scherzinger may have this range, but no-one has provided a citation yet. WP:NOR. --Design 00:14, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] She sang a song with Yoshiki

Look at this link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7F4FgwYkbM&search=Yoshiki%20i%27ll%20be%20your%20love

She sang with this artist. Can it be added in the career section somewhere??

Done --Design 01:57, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dating Status

Who the heck keeps changing her dating stats to Talan and Avant. There's no proof. If either one was true at least wait until they come out with it.

[edit] Edit wars

This article is currently undergoing a edit war. Some anon. editors are de-linking most of the text, removing relevant biographical material (her studies), and also adding errors (she sang on the album Days of the New II, not their first album), and so on.

Also if you are posting comments on this talkpage please sign using four (4) tildes (~). --Design 14:08, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Change The Picture

Can somebody?!?! That picture of her is awful and she needs and new one. 69.47.130.72 01:55, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree unsigned

would it be possible to have a picture that idenifies her instead of a group picture unsigned

I changed the picture..Check it out...I'm certain that it wont be deleted as the source is pretty legitimate...unsigned

Think again...It's not a free image, so it's gonna get deleted. You can't use a non-free image (like a fairuse one) just to see what a person looks like. Ta-ni-ni 14:51, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

how is it a non-free image?

[edit] Removed pseudonym

The intro used to say that she was "often known as Nicki Zinger", yet this usage only has one Google hit. I've removed it: one cite does not seem enough to support an AKA claim. -- The Anome 06:38, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why I can't put my website , but other people yes?

Well , I'm the webmaster of Nicolefan.com and everytime i add my web to the wikipedia's page somebody delete my message but the question is... why i can't put my website but sites like pcd spain or nicole-scherzinger.net yes? <<

There is a limit of one external fansite per bio article. Please see Wikipedia:External Links DesertSky85451 00:15, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] F.O.B

Who is this F.O.B., Family of Barry, Barry Drake? Nicole sang two songs on his 2001 cd.--Design 13:39, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Birthname

This article needs reliable sources for her birth name. Was it Nicole Yao Prescovia, or something else? --Design 02:39, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
