Nicole Scherzinger Performs on 'GMA' [Video]

Nicole Scherzinger rose bright and early to perform her new single “Don’t Hold Your Breath” on “Good Morning America’s” Fall Concert Series.

The “X Factor” judge shared how Whitney Houston inspired her at a young age. “Whitney is just magical,” Nicole told host Robin Roberts. “There’s no one else like her, ever been like her, and she just spoke to my heart. I knew right then that I wanted to be a singer.”

Nicole will star in the upcoming film Men in Black III and is readying her solo debut Killer Love for a U.S. release later this year. “It’s an empowering album for everyone, but it comes from heartbreak and love as well. It makes you want to dance, it makes you feel good, it’s uplifting.”
