Nicole Scherzinger - “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend”

Check out the video below of Nicole Scherzinger’s rendition of “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend” from last night’s Movies Rock. If you missed it, check out more pictures from the red carpet and her performance.

Marilyn Monroe most famously performed the same song in a similar pink dress in the 1953 film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

HOW DOES Nicole Scherzinger measure up to Marilyn Monroe?

I liked it but it’s nothing compared to the original. The heavy breathing she’s doing in this makes her sound like she’s having heart palpitations or something. But I respect the try.

that was the worst thing I have ever seen in my life, what an ugly no talent *****.

Nicole is making this song sound really modern and I love it.

Stop hating.
You hate her, because she is much better looking than you are!
Stop the hate!

People should stop bothering with the Marilyn impersonation. Kylie, Geri, Nicole etc… It’s not working! She is one of a kind!

SORRY BUT MARILYN VERSION WAS THE BEST

WHAT A DISGRACE. Who allowed her to sing this song

No one can top Marilyn. I like Nicole but she butchered the song.

Wasn’t Beyoncé there? She would’ve done a good version, I like the Armani advert. This is coming from someone who’s not really a fan…

it doesn’t compare to the original
but she sounds like she’s straight from that era, in a good way
i wish her looks weren’t a straight copy though, she could’ve worked that hair better.
why is she trying to get so dark? i’m actually full filipino and i’m her skin tone but halfsies dont’ usually get that dark, it seems like she’s overtanning for an image.

tanning is a carcinogen

girl can’t sing.

Her voice is good, but the remix is a bit wierd as R&B, no?

something about this performance annoys me. maybe that’s all about nicole’s tan and dark hair, idk. anyways, it wasn’t that bad. though marilyn’s version is of course by far better and no one, i think, is able or will be able to outdone it.

**** **** **** I like Nicole but that was wrong

She should have made it comical…

Stars of today can’t hold a tune. This lady and Beyonce were terrible plus the country singer singing The Hill Are Alive. All of the ladies need to get some vocal lessions.

she was AWFUL. she just needs to stick to singing with the Pussycat Dolls.

no one will ever sing that song as Great as Marilyn did.

though Nicole Kidman sang it well.

she sucks because she doesn’t have the presence of a true star, it’s just the simple truth. yeah, she has a great body and a pretty face, good for her, i’m not jealous. i don’t give a **** honestly. a lot of people are hot. but she is a marginal talent. come on, are our standards really that low?

Stop comparing her to monroe, she’s not singing it to impersonate/imitate monroe. She made the song her own, and i thought it was not badly done.

She did alright, but like someone stated before me, she does not have the “it” factor like the great Marilyn Monroe. Madonna channeled Marilyn better in “Material Girl” than Nicole did in this number.

Gohayden #2 - let me tell u something

Your stupid, your stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, and ur face = ewwwwwwwww

I’m sure a black marylin could do it better and there are a lot of black singers that could have done what Nicole did 100 times better. Its not in the skin color u douche its in the voice and some people got it. Nicole might not, but her being dark has nothing to do it with it

STUPID

That was HORRIBLE. Her voice is so nasal.

wow that was horrible.
