I dont get why everyone always says she can't sing and isnt talented.

Video below of her performing an amazing dance routine and singing live.

She's undeniably very talented!

Oh god Ive never heard that before, she sounds SO terrible!

mrsjanedoe · 29/11/2015 20:03

She seems nice enough, but talent? Not really

intothebreach · 29/11/2015 20:09

She's not talentless - how could she be? Maybe you don't like her, maybe you don't like manufactured pop, maybe you think that making a living out of looking like a perfect barbie doll isn't a good thing - but she is seriously good at being a celebrity, and I respect that as well as having reservations about it.

She's a human being, and I wish her well. I hope she isn't reading this!

Christ on a bike. She sounds like she stood on a cat in abi's link.

Roussette · 29/11/2015 20:09

Talented? Absolutely not!

Lucky? Yes, very.

Sparklingbrook · 29/11/2015 20:16

Oh blimey that clip from the Jubilee concert is dreadful.

slithytove · 29/11/2015 20:18

I quite like Cheryl, don't think she is a terrible singer. She is a better overall package though and I'm pretty sure most of that performance isn't live.

MsJamieFraser · 29/11/2015 20:18

some of the comments on here are laughable, more so when they state she is a bully! pot... kettle... black!

"Waste of space"? Hmm

I don't dislike her, I however don't love her, shes done very well for herself, she is a OK singer, fantastic dancer and I actually enjoy watching her on X-Factor, shes appears not up her own arse, shes basically a normal girl, living her live and doing a job that she enjoys.

NinaSimoneful · 29/11/2015 20:19

She has lovely hair.

She should stick to advertising hair related products.

slithytove · 29/11/2015 20:20

You could tell she was really struggling at that jubilee concert.

Lost a lot of weight since then!

kilmuir · 29/11/2015 20:21

she got lucky. her talent is being media savvy

Sparklingbrook · 29/11/2015 20:21

If you don't watch X Factor or read the Daily Mail she is very easily avoided fortunately.

specialsubject · 29/11/2015 20:21

she can't sing.

doesn't make her a waste of space. She was much prettier before all the work though - most people improve as they age, what has she done?

She's lovely looking. Is that a talent?

SeasonalVag · 29/11/2015 20:25

What's she had done? I can't tell beyond obvious weight loss

raranah · 29/11/2015 20:25

Wow at some of the responses on here! Did no one watch the Clio in posted? Amazing dancing and pretty good live vocals, no auto tune!

Her last single didn't make the Top 40. But we'll move on...

She's good at staying famous. Which, in this fickle world, is tricky.

She does indeed have beautiful fake hair. And an amazing make up artist (who has good raw materials to work with).

Sparklingbrook · 29/11/2015 20:27

The clio in posted?

SinglePringle · 29/11/2015 20:28

HAHAHAHA to the vocals in that clip being live!

Marcelle Marco (so?) would be proud!

SinglePringle · 29/11/2015 20:30

Rita, however, is currently singing live (although it'll be a pre record. ie live vocal recorded earlier on this avo).

ButterflyUpSoHigh · 29/11/2015 20:30

MsJamieFraser how else would you describe someone who racially abused and physically assaulted a toilet attendant?

Butterfly I thought that had been erased from history.
