The sneak preview of Nicole Scherzinger's first single as an solo artist, "Whatever You Like" featuring T.I and Sean Garrett borrows visual elements from the video treatments of Beyonce's "Ring the Alarm" and Kelis' "Blindfold Me." Ironically so, Kelis's song was produced by Sean Garrett--the same guy that worked with Beyonce on the Destiny's Child song, "Solider."

Let's hope Sean Garrett isn't pulling a Rich Harrison/Lil' Jon/Pharrell on us!

Allow me to explain this claim: Rich Harrison notoriously gave the same horn sound as you can hear on Amerie's 1 Thing and Beyonce's Crazy in Love.

Lil' Jon gave the same crunk sound which was used on Usher's Yeah, Ciara's Goodies and Petey Pablo's Freek-A-Leek.

Pharrell also gave the same electic drum sound to Britney Spears's Slave 4 U, Jay-Z's Excuse Me Miss and Snoop Dogg's Drop It Like It's Hot.
