G-A-Y – NICOLE SCHERZINGER

09/03/13: Everybody knows Nicole Scherzinger; perhaps the most exotic looking American powerhouse since the days of Pocahontas…

It also seemed that everybody knew Scherzinger was going to be in session on Heaven’s main floor stage last Saturday. The super-club was, let’s say, sufficiently packed to the balloon cages bearing down from its ceilings when a certain, spectacular Pussycat appeared in spotlight before a crowd that had been screaming endlessly since the stage first cleared 25 minutes or so earlier.

Quite naturally, the wails rocketed up an octave or eight against the atmospheric, throbbing bass intro – and another of Nicole’s notoriously boombastic performances was on the roll.

Kitted out in a backless, black and white cat-suit that seemed to cling to her chiseled physique for mercy – Nicole was about to dip, pop and kick through her 30 minute show with choreography that you couldn’t be blamed for thinking might blow the heels off her ankle boots.

Evidently, we needn’t have worried – Scherzinger hair-whipped herself, dancers alongside, to glory – with a relentless set of chart staples including; ‘Right There’, ‘Don’t You Wish Your Girlfriend Was Hot (Like Me)’, an acapella ‘Hush Hush’, ‘Don’t Hold Your Breath’ (with a decidely Doll-like dance break) and then of course, Nicole’s latest; ‘Boomerang’ – having just climbed into the 10th spot on the charts.

In between musical offerings (an instrumental of ‘Sexy And I Know It’ thrown in for good measure), as well as some cute, customary interaction – Nicole even distributed some glasses in a ‘toast to 2013’ among a near-delirious front row.

By the time Jeremy came back on stage the sound barrier seemed well and truly broken, and ‘Nicole Night’ was definitely one to put down in G-A-Y lore as a Saturday night success! Come again!
