Nicole Scherzinger tells POPSUGAR, "You have to take risks in life." Nicole Scherzinger talks to POPSUGAR a few hours before she arrives on the red carpet at Cannes Film Festival. And those risks have unquestionably paid off for the singer throughout her career. It's difficult to believe it's been 18 years since Scherzinger burst onto the scene with her single "Don't Cha," and she's continued to be in the spotlight by seizing the majority of the opportunities that have arisen. Her most recent role, as a solo musician, primetime TV judge, and musical theatre actress, took her to the stage at the King's Coronation Concert on May 7th. "It's an honor to be able to perform on that stage for, not only the King himself, but also around the world," she says. "I love the British audience." "They've embraced me as one of their own and adopted me," says the author. I'm sure that being a Brit is able to share that moment. Scherzinger's ingenuity, passion, and undeniable talent have made her into a highly coveted Brit, making her the ideal complement to the royal line. Her performance of "Reflection" from Disney's "Mulan" as a pianist is even more impressive when she tells us she's never performed the song before.
