Homesick my arse. You don't give up an opportunity like that coz you miss your mum Hmm

Publicity stunt, either that or the american viewers just did not like her. Why the hell would they? She has never come across very well on the UK version of the show, or any interview I know of. Confused as to why she is (according to our media) sooo popular....

Chezza

This is nothing like printing pictures of Jordans disabled son.

A) Cheryl has chosed her life in the limelight, and Harvey has not.
B) Cheryl has a career in Britain, and can still maintain that. Harvey will always be disabled.

Disabilty is not the same as losing your job, and when you used the two to display the similarities in laughing at someones misfortune, you did a disservice to those you are disabled. Im offended.

Yes she does a bit doesn't she? Those shoes are frigging awful though

PinotGrigiosKittens · 26/05/2011 14:46

It appears some posters have left their sense of humour in their other trousers. Silly billys.

OP YANBU at all.

HaughtyChuckle · 26/05/2011 14:47

why has she been axed?

MollysChamber · 26/05/2011 14:50

YABU - Cos it means she'll be back on X Faxtor here. You'll be laughing on t'other side of yer face then OP. US was welcome to her imo.

YA also BU to piss yourself. That's never good.

cyb · 26/05/2011 14:51

Haughty I really dont think she was ever there in the first place. All hot air and humbug wrapped up by Cowell's press machine

gapants · 26/05/2011 14:52

Can someone explain to me why the whole this a publicity stunt, do you mean that she will return home into welcome arms by her adoring british public?

I thought her "breaking" america was a joke, she is not that talented. Pretty- yes, can hold a tune...maybe, can dance-yep. She is no beyonce/rhianna/lady gaga. She is just not on that level. More like a...Sonia type I think, or maybe Gina Gee.

Do you all think she is shitting because her band mate Nicola is making an album and has a certain amount of cool about her?

slhilly · 26/05/2011 14:53

Mammie, that makes no sense. I don't see why it's acceptable to laugh at someone's misfortune because they've chosen a public career, or because they may be able to recover from that misfortune. I am doing no disservice to people with disabilities: laughing at people like Cheryl Cole creates an enabling culture that ends up with laughing at people like Harvey.

HaughtyChuckle · 26/05/2011 14:53

Oh right

squeaver · 26/05/2011 14:53

We don't really know, Haughty, we're just speculatin' 'n' shit.

Lol at "More like a Sonia"

cyb · 26/05/2011 14:56

Youre right slhilly, we've all been very mean to multi millionairess Cheryl Cole and we'll never speak ill of anyone EVER AGAIN

PuppyMonkey · 26/05/2011 14:57

Lol at Gina Gee.

noddyholder · 26/05/2011 14:58

She is too fat and thick for US prime time

MollysChamber · 26/05/2011 15:00

Too fat? Oh FGS.

gapants · 26/05/2011 15:00

shilly i think if you put yourself in the public eye, for not actually being all that talented and you court the attention, it is how you make your money, then you have to take the rough with the smooth. Some of that rough is stuff like this thread. Not that it is particularly nasty anyway. Sonia had a good career! KInd of a compliment actually.

noddyholder · 26/05/2011 15:02

Yep they sent her straight to a dietician and fitness expert as they considered her heavy for tv No hope for the rest of us. I hope she doesn't come back here to be nations sweetheart again although I really believe her and cashley will be back together by xmas

Mammie81 · 26/05/2011 15:04

Sihilly, Cheryl can recover from this/use it to her advantage in 'come back' interviews etc, theres a whole world of media coverage for her now despite losing out on this one.

How is Harveys disabilty in anyway comparable to that? Why would people be laughing at that?

If it doesnt make sense, its because you picked a shit and offensive analogy.

wellamI1981 · 26/05/2011 15:08

I'm not Cheryl's biggest fan but I think YABU to laugh at anyone's misfortune.

takeonboard · 26/05/2011 15:09

Why is everyone so happy, all it means is we will have to put up with her back here. What with VB moving back too its all going down hill for GB!

cyb · 26/05/2011 15:09

SHE WAS NEVER ON IT TO BE AXED FROM

lol @ misfortune. Some other deluded individual will hire her in no time, I'm sure

Pinkjenny · 26/05/2011 15:10

I miss Sonia. What happened to her?

gapants · 26/05/2011 15:10

wellamI I've got a feeling (whooo hoooo) you are just annoyed your production of her album wasn't better received. Grin
