Cheryl Cole

[Gainsbourg]

I liked her performance, and as far as "showing her talent" gos vocally, you can't really do that with a song like Fight For This Love, it's one of those talking songs really not a big ballad, there's only so much you can change with a song like that and I think she did it fine

 

[ladyflash]

Did anyone notice the amount of miming going on in the group performance at the beginning tonight? Would be pretty rich to criticise Cheryl, even though the papers probably will tomorrow.

 

[ingetjuh18]

i think it was live and she did great. at some parts it did sound a bit shaky and one part a little off key.. so dont think this would be in it if it was pre-recorded.

I love her, she is so cute.

 

[vogue28]

Her eye make-up did not suit her at all tonight. Great performance from her though!

 

[colourmepretty]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that the whole thing was live. Because I've read that they made a U-turn after all the slack she got from the public for wanting to pre record it.

Funny though. She does it well and people think she mimed. Girl can't win.

So true No matter what she does people are always so critical. Give her a break, she is trying so hard!

 

[Empress Merel]

And her perfomance was really good. There is nothing bad to say about it. The dancing was great, she totally owned it when the last part of the dance started (Around when she said stop) and her vocals surprised me positively.

 

[retailqueen]

People would like her better is she looked like Nicola... FACT.

Exactly. Haters will still slag her off no matter what. It was confirmed on Xtra Factor that her performance was live and not pre-recorded.

So not sure what you're getting at here...

 

[retailqueen]

rephrasing it PC-like: she would not get as much hate if she were less attractive. It's a huge factor in why some will never like her no matter what she does.

 

[ladyflash]

She probably wouldn't get this little bit of hate she gets on internet forums but she's hugely popular. Nicola on the other hand only got marginally more popular when she had a complete makeover.

I can see what you're trying to say but I don't think it's true. Plenty of people hate Nicola too, calling her the ugly one etc. etc.

 

[Label Basher]

Terrible performance aside her stage outfit was atrocious.

I don't know how anyone can like it. Harem pants with slits down the side over the top of a body suit which you can see above the waistline of the pants. I have to wash my eyes out.

That is all sorts of fashion police violations right there.

 

[tigerrouge]

The hate that Nicola has gotten - and still gets - is heartbreaking. It's at a different level to the other girls.

Precisely. Cheryl's had this kind of negative press twice in her career. The assault of the toilent attendent and now the whole build up to her debut performance. Aside from that ever since her husbands affairs she's been adored. She has the easiest ride out of any member of GA.

She was breathless after the performance and barely could say a word, which is why I doubt she sang life. However, good for her, if I'm wrong. The outfit was horrible though. She looked as if she had no hips whatsoever.

Completely. She is fabulous. Incredible style and gorgeous voice. I think I adore her marginally more than Cheryl actually but I'm just showing Cheryl love with my icon tonight due to her performance.

[Northern Star]

The outfit looks much better without the jacket and hat I think...

Definitely.

It was LIVE! I guess she was breathless because of the dancing in the end.
