Cheryl Cole

Urgh NO to that pic. The pose.. boombox.. clothes. Oh cmon it's not that hard to get a good shot of Cheryl.

 

[Ms.Jessie]

I like it. IMO, this image is made for the American market. I love it.... I wanted to grow up and be a B-Girl so this pic speaks to me LOL (from Sunny Florida).

i dont wont to sound disbelieving and get on everyones nerves but no matter how long i stare at that picture i cant see cheryl in it :s

 

[Ms.Jessie]

LOL, I agreed with you until I saw the slightly bigger shot

 

[McClaire]

Is that even her?!?!? And if so, whoever did the airbrushing should be shot.

 

[Versace-Goddess]

She looks good and i´m very curious about her music.

It looks better in the close up. When it's now close up it doesn't look like her face? No idea why.

She's releasing her album the same day as Alexandra Burke's. Yikes.

I dont like that photo, its little cliche.

Yeah, totally, absolutely agree - plus the airbrushing is bordering on ridiculous.

"if something isnt broke, dont try and fix it" has never seemed more true than now.

Isn't there 300,000 pre orders for Alexandra's album already ..

I don't know whether they will be vying for the same market as I haven't heard either of their songs, but I think it's a bad move on Cheryl's part to be up against her 'protege'. I would have thought she would be encouraging the public to buy Burke's album, which clearly wouldn't do her own sales any good.
Surely in promotional interviews they will ask her about Alexandra.....and I suppose the reverse would be true also.....so maybe it might help both

 

[ladyflash]

I personally predict she will outsell Alexandra.

I may be embarassed by this post if the album sinks...

 

[honeycombchild]

Alexandra's album actually went up for pre-sale the week after the show finished last year! If you pre-ordered within two weeks you got a special edition, 2 CD album so they got loads of pre-orders from that alone. God knows what number the sales are up to now!

I like Cheryl a lot too and I'm interested to see what she does musically, BUT in my opinion I think releasing it the same day as Alexandra's is very deliberate. If it doesn't get to number one, then it's not exactly a disaster is it?

They can say because it came out during a tough week, and being second to Alexandra isn't that much of a bad thing. I just think they've done it for that reason... so it would look like she could never had a number one album anyway, because of Alex? As I don't believe she'd get a number one album on her own, as much as I like her.

 

[ladyflash]

That's very clever, if that's true. Because Cheryl can then go on record stating how "proud" she is of her.

I do help she outsells her, though.
