Adam's Favorite Things

On Wednesday, October 8, 2025 I was very fortunate to attend Nicole Scherzinger's SOLD OUT Carnegie Hall debut concert in NYC!

From the moment Nicole stepped out on stage & sang her first note, it was evident she came home at last!

The audience was engulfed under her spell & in the palm of her hands for the rest of the evening.

You know Nicole as a Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum selling artist, a former member of The Pussycat Dolls and an Olivier & Tony Award winning performer for her portrayal of Norma Desmond in Andrew Lloyd Webber's 2024 revival of Sunset Blvd.

For 2 1/2 hours, Nicole captivated the 2,790 capacity-filled Carnegie Hall! One of my favorite things about Nicole's performance was how grateful she was to be performing at the iconic venue & for every audience member who attended. She kept mentioning this throughout the night. Her message of appreciation made me feel seen.

Nicole sang an incredible mixture of music from Broadway to The Pussycat Dolls to an original song.

Through her skillful singing, Nicole made every song her own, turning each song into a grand performance. Nicole knows exactly when to belt it out, pull it back in & hold on tight to it.

While it's hard to narrow down a favorite moment, I can't wait for Nicole to officially release her original song, "Bullshit." It was so catchy & well written.

Some of my other favorite numbers that Nicole performed were "You Raise Me Up," "Reflections," "Maybe This Time," "I Am What I Am," "With One Look," "As If We Never Said Goodbye," "Don't Cha," & "Don't Hold Your Breath."

There were so many powerful moments during Nicole's concert, it's no wonder she received 7 standing ovations throughout the night.

What this evening showed me was that Nicole Scherzinger needs to record an album of Broadway songs (especially the ones she sang at Carnegie Hall) & she has to release her album of original music sooner rather than later.

Nicole Scherzinger is a shining example of what hard work, determination, and practice, practice, practice can do for you...it can make your dreams come true at Carnegie Hall.
