To not understand what people see in Cheryl cole?

[wannaBe]

Afaik she has a criminal record does she not?

And is really not all that talented... unless one considers the ability to mime being a talent.

And yet she is constantly held up as the nation's sweetheart etc etc wtf?

"Afaik she has a criminal record does she not?"

Oh, come on, "Promise This" wasn't that bad...

As far as teh pretty/beautiful thing goes - I think she's plain. Spaniel eyes, out of proportion nose.No boobs. I'd much rather look like Sarah Harding, who is gorgeous.

And lol unquiet dad!

But fair play to her, she's never going to have to worry about paying her gas bill, is she?

discobeaver, DING! you get a point on the UQD board for the Harding-love.

Extremely beautiful girl. However I think her true colours have come through on this series of X Factor - a bully.

I think all the judges on X Factor are pretty scary and not very nice, with the possible exception of Danni Minogue who at least seems real.

I've never seen any pictures of her without about an inch of make-up on so it's difficult to say what she really looks like. For what it's worth, she's way too skinny for my tastes but that's just personal preference.

More importantly though, she does seem remarkably devoid of noticeable any talent other than self-promotion. I can happily accept a wide range of singing styles - hell, I love Billy Bragg - but is a pretty sad indictment if it's truly representative of her actual singing voice.
