Next year, for me, its about my music.
Her single, Dont Hold Your Breath from her first solo album Killer Love, topped the UK charts but has yet to be released in the US, which she blames on the show.
She told Radar Online: I worked with these contestants six days a week so I delayed the album.
Nicole, 33, was made a judge after Cheryl Cole was axed. She admits it is difficult and often bursts into tears.
I didnt expect to be so emotional through the elimination process, said Nicole. I just wanted to mentor and empower artists.
