In thinking that Wagner wasn't all wrong about Cheryl?

When he said she is a council estate girl who got lucky?

Nothing wrong with coming from a council estate, I lived on one myself for most of my childhood. But she didn't get where she is now on talent or charisma so old Vargener hit the nail on the head with that one, oy finks.

No, I don't think she should have said it. I didn't mean you, cupcakes - I was thinking of a facebook group someone had set up comprising only of photos where she doesn't look her best with the title 'I have no idea why all you boys fancy Cheryl Cole' - or something like that!

I don't know her at all and maybe the whole thing is hype? I wouldn't be surprised...

cupcakesandbunting · 21/11/2010 00:03

Oh, i totally understand why men fancy her. She's gorgeous. Just don't understand why girls want to be her. She doesn't seem happy really, the wee pet.

Why is she shallow?

huddspur · 21/11/2010 00:04

I grew up in a council house, I wouldn't say that I am where I am in my life due to luck.

Can I just add that Katie's new hairdo makes her look like Louis Walsh

cupcakesandbunting · 21/11/2010 00:08

No-one said she was shallow. I said it would be shallow to be jealous of her for superficial/financial reasons. Can't see what else there is to be jealous about really.

A friend of mine said Katie looks like Keira Knightley. Shock

Does she? Feedback welcomed...

cupcakesandbunting · 21/11/2010 00:10

Maybe Keira Knightly spliced with Bruce Forsythe.

That'll be her signature mascara

Is she actually just trying to get an eye make-up modelling deal?

TheLadyEvenstar · 21/11/2010 00:26

Keira Knightly is beautiful!!!!

Think Cheryl was just sticking up for herself, Wagner is a grown man I'm sure he can take it, doubt she just said it without some evidence of what was actually said. Agree it would have been OKed with Simon before hand tho. Don't wanna piss the main man off :o

I don't think she made herself look great. She is sort of in a position of 'power' as a judge and there was no need to say it in front of other people, especially not on TV, except for effect. Funny how she was quick to believe the press on that, but it's all lies about Cher. Hmm

I can't stand Wagner, but I agree he is being treated like shite. His own mentor can't even be bothered to get his name right, FFS!!! Which makes Louis Walsh look like a total twat!!!!

squarehat · 21/11/2010 00:33

Sorry in response to OP, don't think it was luck that got her where she is, she is talented, ok she's not the best singer but she's good enough. I listened to Take That on x factor last week and their singing wasn't exactly brilliant. She must have worked hard to get where she is today, luck and looks alone wouldn't have got her this far IMO.

Can you tell I like Cheryl Blush

midori1999 · 21/11/2010 00:33

In fact, I've half a mind to vote for Wanger this week and every week and wish everyone would do the same just so he wins.

Wandaaa · 21/11/2010 00:33

I'm not sure of Simon's position on Wagner. Last year it was very obvious despite what he said each week on the show that he was happy with Jedward as he could see the pound signs, not sure that this is the case with Wagner. I wonder if it was all done to make Wagner look bad, but it only made Cheryl look silly.

Wandaaa · 21/11/2010 00:35

I've never voted this series, but was sorely tempted to vote for Wagner tonight. Now I'm not sure if it is all part of the manipulation of the show.

Wandaaa · 21/11/2010 00:37

Actually, I know it is all about manipulation. I'm just not sure which way I am being manipulated.

saffy85 · 21/11/2010 07:48

Chavyl was unfair to attack Wagner like that at that time- she should have been judging that performance, not moaning about herself and what he apparently said "to the papers".

Chavyl should know better than anyone that people get misquoted by the media all the time. I mean how long has she been in the business for?

scoobytoo · 21/11/2010 07:57

Katy looks slightly dirty IMO
