Cheryl will be filming her music video for her 1st solo single this weekend.
Could you give us a clue about when will be able to listen to the single, please?
"Before then end of september."
While we wait with bated breath for Cheryl Cole's first solo album, I spoke to a music insider this week who's already had a sneak peek. He told me: "Everyone's been saying her stuff is r'n'b based with a lot of hip hop but that's rubbish. It's a pop album. Cheryl's stuck to her roots."
Apparently the casting for her debut video was yesterday and they were looking for male dancers. Beth's done the choreography and it's a lot more intricate than your normal GA dance routines.

Ray Kay is directing the video tomorrow, he's done Lady GaGa's Poker Face, Beyonce's Freakum Dress and Mel C's Yeh Yeh Yeh & Next Best Superstar.
Daily Mail
I think she's in a makeup and hair rut... those eyebrows are much too thin and filled in, and her eye makeup is pretty dated (as I've said). Also, really not liking that 80's teased bang.... and the hair is looking really fake and plastic. Sorry to sound so negative; I just want what's best for her!
OT but Dannii is looking STUNNING!
Daily Mail
Soo funny, I think we agree on everything except tattoos on all of our celebs! LOL
That said, I think her tattoos are kind of... well.... awful.

A positive review of Cheryl Cole's 'Fight For This Love'
How odd, but how brilliant to be reviewing a Cheryl Cole single. It feels wrong but surprisingly right.
So here's the thing to get out of the way: 'Fight For This Love' is not a Girls Aloud single. It's a fresh-sounding modern pop record, but it's not Girls Aloud. It's not supposed to be Girls Aloud. Brian Higgins has talked of Xenomania's big flashpoint at the start of the decade coming as a reaction to the R&B-styled pop tuneage that dominated the charts and was, at that point, 'the sound of pop'. 'Fight For This Love' is, if anything, almost an 'anti-Xenomania' record - Cheryl Colo's debut solo single is an R&B-styled pop tune. Most significantly, very importantly for Cheryl's first solo tune outside Girls Aloud (but also, from the way it sounds, quite unselfconsciously) 'Fight For This Love' is very definitely not just a Girls Aloud single with one person singing it.
Anyone thinking of doing a Shirley Valentine after hearing about Leona's new single (general idea: I'm not picking up your socks any more, I'm off) might have faith restored by 'Fight For This Love' with its belief that "anything that's worth having, sure enough worth fighting for, quitting's out of the question, when it gets tough gotta fight some more" and a fairly clear chorus message: "we gotta fight (fight), fight (fight) fight for this love". In spirit it's either a lot less or a lot more mature than the Leona track; either way it's ****ing brilliant. It's one of those songs you can have on repeat for an hour and a half without getting bored.
One thing that hits you is - well, is this really what Cheryl sounds like? Vocally it's a big surprise. It's so usual to hear Cheryl through the Xenomania filter. As it turns out, she sounds really great - strong, confident, direct. Like a proper pop singer. We suppose being a member of a pop group for the best part of a decade should have been a fairly strong hint re the whole 'proper pop singer' thing but you know how it is with members of bands - they're just members of bands until, er, they're not any more. (This paragraph might need a bit of work - Ed)
Like some of the best pop tunes 'Fight For This Love' is a very simple affair without bells, whistles or kitchen sinks, but there's more going on than is initially obvious and the production's certainly a cut above. The song doesn't start with a big fanfare - it eases itself into view and suddenly Cheryl's singing and the song's started - and it ends not with a bang but with a gradual fade. It's a sleek, powerful production and while we were walking across a bridge yesterday evening it was unexpectedly this, not the Leona single, that we found rattling around in our head. GET THE CHAMPAGNE OUT POLYDOR, IT PASSES THE BRIDGE TEST.
Worst Line/Best Line
» "Every day ain't gonna be no picnic, love ain't no walk in the park" (outdoor pursuit double negativeometer explodes)
» "Just know that united we stand alone" (amazing)
The Best Four Motoring References In This Tune
» "Makes it hard to know which road to go down"
» "Is it better is it worse are we sitting in reverse?"
» "What I don't wanna do is crash"
» "We've been driving so fast we just need to slow down"
Additional Data
» There's a breakdown clap along bit after the middle eight. Oh yes.
» The middle eight is the best bit.
» This would be a good Whitney track - in fact at times there's a bit of a Whitneyish tone to Cheryl's voice.
» If this song was walking down the street, they - and by 'they' we mean general passers-by - would say 'hey sexy'. Sadly the street in question would be one outside a mental hospital following a large-scale breakout because in real life people in total control of their mental faculties do not pass people in the street and say 'hey sexy' to them.
» It's better than all Thom Yorke solo material ever.

I just came to post that... thank you!
That photo looks promising; although they airbrushed her beyond recognition!

Yep. On that pic she reminds me of Victoria or Kimba. I think they´ve also airbrushed her tattoo.
