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!

I think 'she's done very well for herself' would be more accurate.

DickDewy · 29/11/2015 20:35

Haha. I got to 2:08 of that clip before I gave up. It was cringey.

I think the only thing she has going for her is that she is pretty.

MythicalKings · 29/11/2015 20:35

Can't sing in tune, thin little voice, minimal talent at dancing and thumps and racially abuses a toilet attendant. A perfect charmer.

Pancakeflipper · 29/11/2015 20:36

I think she's a very determined savvy woman. She's no great singer or dancer but keeps a high profile in the music industry.

Won't be long before she becomes a fashion designer especially after the sinking of X Factor this year.

ihatethecold · 29/11/2015 20:37

I don't think she has had work done apart from her teeth.
Plus she is slimmer now.

sugar21 · 29/11/2015 20:38

Her arse is rosie, but she can't sing and she's lost a lot of weight.

bertsdinner · 29/11/2015 20:40

She's a pretty girl who has been lucky/astute enough to carve herself a decent career. I wouldnt say she has any real talent, but to be fair to her, a lot of pop stars don't have great voices and are not particularly talented. Good looks are also ten a penny in her line of work, so she's done well to sustain her career as long as she has.

Butterfly yes she's tried really hard to keep that story out of the news but I know a lot of people who liked her more befroe that incident who really despise her now...

There's a pic of the attendant with a black eye.... And Chezza was convicted. Nasty piece of work.

DickDewy · 29/11/2015 20:43

She's a bit like Victoria Beckham - very successful on minimal talent. But Cheryl has the advantage of being pretty which will sell.

ButterflyUpSoHigh · 29/11/2015 20:43

Sparklingbrook only for those with short memories Wink

FlipperDipper2 · 29/11/2015 20:44

Even she admits that she's not the best singer in the world (understatement!)

You can do wonders with auto-tune these days and tbh if people are stupid enough to buy it then I have no issue with her selling it. I don't like her due to her previous racist assault, though and I don't think that what she is currently doing to her body makes her a healthy role model for young women.

MsJamieFraser · 29/11/2015 20:45

personally I would not call anyone a "waste of space"!

she was punished for her crime! over a decade ago... by the UK courts!

Her actions then we're inexcusable, however I am not going to hold it over her for an entire life time!

AgentProvocateur · 29/11/2015 20:46

I think she's a thick racist thug who got lucky due to being pretty. She's also not a bad dancer, but I've heard better singers at a pub karaoke.

Sallystyle · 29/11/2015 20:49

Crap voice.

Love watching her dance.

Was beautiful, not so much now with her weight loss.

ButterflyUpSoHigh · 29/11/2015 20:49

MsJamieFraser you said it was laughable she was called a bully. I don't find violence funny whether it happened 10 minutes ago or 10 years ago. It shows what kind of person she is. She must have some excellent PR people behind her.

viioletsarentblue · 29/11/2015 20:49

but she is seriously good at being a celebrity

Talented at being Talentless.

Missdread · 29/11/2015 20:51

Cheryl VD!! Grin Man, I love Mumsnet!!!! Hahahaha!!!

Helmetbymidnight · 29/11/2015 20:51

I don't think anyone is a waste of space.

It's a nasty phrase, and Cheryl takes up hardly any room anyway.

raranah · 29/11/2015 20:51

Ffs she was cleared of all racist charges and has even married a black man!

She did something silly, after too many drinks when she was a teenager. People need to get over it, we've all been there.

I do wander if this is all jealousy, how dare a council estate girl do so well for herself so people try to out her down. I'm shocked, girls we need to support each other not be nasty bitches.

In the first video she's singing (badly) over a pre-recorded "live" vocal. X-factor have done this years.

Nope. Never beat someone up in my life.

Missdread · 29/11/2015 20:52

PS Jean Bernard VD and Chezza's Mam have never been seen in the same room together just saying

Sparklingbrook · 29/11/2015 20:53

we've all been there Shock Speak for yourself but I have never lamped a toilet attendant.
