"As an impatient slow-clap echoes around west London's iconic Royal Albert Hall the star is running 45 minutes late a seemingly nonplussed Nicole Scherzinger suddenly appears in spotlight, drenched in sparkly diamonds. Having built a career out of overcoming obstacles breaking out of the shackles of both a girlband (the 55m-selling Pussycat Dolls) and various TV talent show judging panels a little polite animosity isn't going to rain on her parade."
"Act two changes that. She tears through I Am What I Am, her magnificent voice ricocheting overhead, and receives extended standing ovations for Sunset Boulevard's With One Look and As If We Never Said Goodbye, which she greets like old friends. There's also a new original song, about growing impatient with a long-term partner's inability to pop the question."
Nicole Scherzinger appeared 45 minutes late at west London's Royal Albert Hall, emerging in sparkly diamonds. The show, billed as An Evening with Nicole Scherzinger, split into two acts that fused pop, musical theatre and personal anecdotes. The first act focused on musicals from Funny Girl to Follies and included Diamonds Are Forever, punctuated by chaotic humour and chatty interludes about heritage and fiancé Tom. The second act showcased powerful vocals with I Am What I Am and standout Sunset Boulevard numbers With One Look and As If We Never Said Goodbye, plus an original song about impatience with a partner's reluctance to propose. Audiences responded with extended standing ovations.
