ok. i love cheryl but i agree that she's made it this far because of her looks (and high profile marriage). and if anyone disagrees i encourage you to go back to cheryls first audition for popstar rivals 2002, where louis walsh, and the other male judge, gushed all over her physical appearance and didnt give one critique, or even seem to care, about her vocal abilities (which was very weak and mediocre at the time). and i dont blame the girl for this. she has taken advantage of the great opportunity that was presented to her, even if she knew her singing sucked and the choice was based on her outer beauty. i believe that any of us would do the same. that being said, im not a fan of her singing/music. i didnt like the song or video of "promise this", yet the video is better than the song, imho (if that makes any sense). but i still like her, as she seems to be a simple down to earth girl. so im not going to kid myself here; im simply attracted to her beauty and "personality". her music and singing, to me, is pure garbage.
