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!

Allegedly.

AliceInUnderpants · 29/11/2015 22:07

She didn't have malaria. She had VD Grin

Sallystyle · 29/11/2015 22:10

She looks unhealthy.

I thought she was starting to look better, but she looks gaunt and sallow. I'm not sure it's her weight loss either, she just looks unwell.

Still 1000 times more prettier than me though Grin

She was losing her fame until she re-joined the X Factor. But good on her for making as much money as she has for as long as she has.

OddSocksHighHeels · 29/11/2015 22:10

She had VD GrinGrinGrin

Potatoface2 · 29/11/2015 22:10

she sold over one million albums worldwide....not bad in a population of 7.3 billion.....i never believed the malaria either....why would her management send her somewhere without the right healthcare...wouldnt happen....ive been drunk too....never assaulted anyone (would instantly loose my job) so i behave myself...isnt her brother in prison for armed robbery?

Behooven · 29/11/2015 22:13

sassy that makes sense

Owllady · 29/11/2015 22:16

I can't believe she had Victoria Derbyshire

ALemonyPea · 29/11/2015 22:18

The only thing factual in Geordie Shore is when they go out without coats on in the middle of winter. Only a proper Geordie can do that Grin

Can't stand Cheryl and her double standards. Her first year as a judge, she criticised one of the girl groups for dressing too provocatively to try and get votes, half an hour later she sang "live" on the show wearing less than that girl group.

ihatethecold · 29/11/2015 22:30

She didn't have VD it was an ED

OddSocksHighHeels · 29/11/2015 22:32

Not just Geordies! I'm from another part of the North and we all went out without our coats in all weather. I don't know how I did it, obviously gone soft living in London for almost a decade now Wink

CelestiaLuna · 29/11/2015 22:35

Cheryl is talented, her goal was to be rich and famous and she achieved her goal.

No singing talent makes her achievements more remarkable

Allegedly Malaria was a cover story to explain away her stay in hospital, and sadly looking at her now she seems to be struggling

Sparklingbrook · 29/11/2015 22:36

I used to go clubbing in Birmingham. No coat because I couldn't be bothered with the raffle ticket cloakroom shenanigans. It must have been freezing.

thornrose · 29/11/2015 22:37

I don't generally like discussing people's weight but I do think she looks unhealthy at the moment.

ALemonyPea · 29/11/2015 22:38

OddSocks, I want to London in January and I was boiling, had to remove my coat. Got a few odd looks from people who were wrapped up in coats, gloves and scarves. Grin

Owllady · 29/11/2015 22:39

Yeah well no one wanted to deal withthe cloakroom staff at the dome 《shows age》
so no coat it was

OddSocksHighHeels · 29/11/2015 22:45

I was that person when I first moved here lemony these days I'm the one looking at you like you're mad

Quiero · 29/11/2015 22:47

I'm a real life Geordie and I can categorically state that Geordie Shore has no resemblance to real life. I used to drive past the GS house every day on my way to work. It was in the middle of an industrial estate Confused

I never wear a coat when I go out though, that's right enough.

We're all a bit fond of Cheryl up here. Not many people from Walker (pronounced Waaaaaaka) become celebrities.

itsbetterthanabox · 29/11/2015 23:50

Op beating someone up isn't normal young behaviour. It's the behaviour of a thug. She may have been cleared of it being racially aggravated but shouting 'black bitch' is pretty racist in my book.
My criticism of has nothing to do with her being originally working class. It's do with what she has done with her fame. I don't care about talentless people getting famous, doesn't bother me. But don't pretend she is talented! Everything she's done is about getting rich and setting back feminism. She's not an example to anyone.

itsbetterthanabox · 29/11/2015 23:53

I just watched the video. Is it old then? Didn't think she went by Cole anymore. Listen closely you can hear he voice being auto tuned. It's also mainly speaking in that song. Yes she can dance. She's quite Physically fit maybe. Is that what you like op?

LittleBearPad · 30/11/2015 00:06

Confused by many things here. But she'll now always be VD to me.

Booyaka · 30/11/2015 00:57

I once saw a headline on a magazine like Closer or Now! which read 'Cheryl reveals secret which led to Andrews addiction'. I though for years she'd owned up to snorting or mainlining constipation powder.

It was a few years before I realised it was her Andrew's addiction. Her brother, Andrew.

Which is a shame really, I thought it made her more interesting.

wannabestressfree · 30/11/2015 06:45

Whistles amy Winehouse song...... No no no

raranah · 30/11/2015 07:33

I think some of you need to take a long hard look in the mirror! Saying she had an eating disorder and not malaria is ridiculous. The poor girl was told she had an hour to live!

OP posts:
OddSocksHighHeels · 30/11/2015 07:37

An hour? Are you sure? Wasn't it more like a day?

I'm not saying she had an ED, I don't know her, I just said I'd heard the rumours. And there's nothing shameful about having an ED anyway, it's not an insult.

wannabestressfree · 30/11/2015 07:42

No she didn't
That's not what I said....
Or 'implied'
Your gulable for believing everything you read....
