Brickfish™, the online content marketing platform, and consumer electronics innovation leader Samsung Electronics, today announced the launch of the "Your 'Baby Love'" campaign, inviting aspiring singers and fans of sexy songstress, Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger, to submit their best "Baby Love" video performances. Located at http://www.brickfish.com/Entertainment/SamsungYourBabyLove?=prsam and powered by Brickfish™, the campaign will award the most popular performer a Samsung 40-inch LCD HDTV and Samsung MX10 flash memory camcorder.

"Connecting with fans is important to me and this unique campaign lets them get involved in my music on a deeper level," said Nicole Scherzinger. "I look forward to the diversity of talented entrants and to seeing how my music is interpreted."

Entrants will upload their own versions of Nicole Scherzinger's smash hit "Baby Love." Anyone can view and vote on the entries online. A grand prize winner will be selected from the top 100 entries with the highest vote-score.

"Being featured in Nicole Scherzinger's video for 'Baby Love' was great and we are excited to integrate music lovers into the experience," said Reid Sullivan, vice president of marketing for Samsung Electronics America.
