Cheryl Cole to mime on X Factor

[MarkWaldorf]

I told ya'll she would!

Cheryl Cole will reportedly mime parts of her debut solo single when she performs on The X Factor this weekend.

According to the Daily Mail, the Girls Aloud star will rely on pre-recorded vocals when she takes to the stage to promote her new song 'Fight For This Love'. It is thought that she will only sing live at certain moments in the performance.

An insider said: "Cheryl is the breakout star of Girls Aloud and there are big plans for her. Nobody - neither on The X Factor nor her record label Polydor - wants to see her fail, which is why we thought it was better for Cheryl to mime her performance.

"But, of course, Cheryl will be heavily criticised for not singing live and then returning to her judge's chair to cast judgement on the hopefuls, who will have spent all week rehearsing and battling nerves."

Yesterday, show producers confirmed that Cole will record her performance hours before broadcast "to ensure she can fully continue with her judging commitments on The X Factor later that evening".

The news followed rumours that Cole was "in a blind panic" over singing on the programme.

ugh/
she might aswell not perform, she's gonna get slated.

[30stone]

Wonder if she has taken notes from britney .. :tongue:

And Pre recorded as in not edited but sang in the studio before hand? so its not like they are just playing the track and shes dancing to it, aswell as she is still singing some parts.
Everyone knows shes not the best singer..

[Tom4784]

Most singers don't sing live anyway and she's still singing most of it, it's probably the more dance-y parts that'll be recorded.

[KKBL]

Why cant she just use playback or get some back in singers?

[Tom]

Whats the point?

[Braden]

well last time she performed live on the x factor
she was terrible !

[Shaun]

What a joke :\

[Firewire]

So it is being pre-recorded and she is gonna mime aswell?

:\

[Fom]

All I can say is... the dancing better be bloody good!

[Vicky.]

Thats ridiculous. She sits criticising other people who are singing LIVE, then goes on to mime herself. What a joke.

[bronaaaa]

:(

[Scarlett.]

I just lost all respect for her

[Patrick]

Why dont they just show the Music Video?

[xDramatick]

If she mimes, I'm totally losing respect for her.

[Scarlett.]

Why dont they just show the Music Video?
Exactly what I said to my friend today

[Jordan.]

Is she knows she cant sing why try to have a solo career :|

Alexandra mimed too so what's the big deal? They all do it.

Alexandra didnt pre-record it though

[Tom]

She refuted the reports and said she'll sing live but it will be pre recorded because she can't get changed quick enough

[30stone]

Alexandra didnt pre-record it though



Its better pre recording it and singing PARTS live
than just miming...

Dont understand half the comments in here about loss of respect and that, how many artists have mimed???

[Wildcat!]

Oh please. So many pop star mime, especially if they dance a lot (Britney, Jlo, Janet etc...). Its not new, its not surprising, its normal. I would be more shocked if she came and sang straight. I dont know why people are all outraged.
Plus when you are promoting a single, you want people to hear it as close to studio as possible, at least for the first time, so they know if they want to buy it or not, just like they did with the Hero single in last years Xfactor.

[setanta]

Alexandra didnt pre-record it though

She did yeah. She sings along occassionally to what she recorded earlier on before the live transmission. There's many moments in the vid where you can see she's not singing but her voice is still heard.

None of them tell other people they cant sing for a living

To me it seemed like she sung live but the studio version was playing in the background, when she wasn't singing you could hear the studio one (it was a lot quieter)

Nah, there's moments where the chorus is being sung and she's out a synch or just not even singing.

[Enid]

Should save the embarrassment tbh, especially on a TALENT show.

[Harry!]

She is one of the worst from GA. When she sung The Promise last year she was so out of tune.

Thats her job though??

that just what she does.. simon cowell cant sing for **** either but he still judges on live singing.

Simon Cowell is a BIG music manager and has wide music knowledge
Louis Walsh is also a manager of a few bands and has good music knowledge
Danni Minougue...not sure

[Niamh.]

spot on

She was brutal last year when she sang with girls aloud on it!!!

[Niamh.]

yes but Simon isn't a singer and never claimed to be, Cheryl is supposed to be able to sing

[30stone]

She knows shes not a very good singer though.

I dont understand why so many people are up in arms, when small time cheryl cole mimes yet others can do it as big as britney..

I know she judges talent but thats her job its what shes employed to do, no where does it say because she is judging talent as a singer she has to sing live.

Well thats like picking a random public member to be a judge

Britney is **** too

[teabag.]

im glad shes miming
otherwise it will be cringeworthy to watch because she cant sing

[Tom]

Danni Minougue...not sure

Simon wanted Cheryl to join the Britain's Got Talent panel in 2007 but refused to sign up for it and Amanda got the job

Simon then made the fourth judge on X Factor with Cheryl in mind in 2007 but she refused and because it was already public knowledge he had to settle for Dannii who has had reasonable success and was already judging America's Got Talent, so he knew she was a good judge. Then Sharon quit and Cheryl finally signed up making Dannii irrelevant as the performing judge, especially as Cheryl comes from reality TV.

if Cheryl hadn't refused X Factor first time we might still have Sharon on the panel :(

I miss Mrs Osbourne :(

[30stone]

Sharon wasn't good to look at lol.

[Niamh.]

Sharon wasn't good to look at lol.

she was annoying as well

am I the only one who likes Danni as a judge?

[30stone]

I like Danni as a judge.

Simons my favourite though.

[Tom]

Sharon wasn't good to look at lol.

Neither is Dannii

I loved Sharon, she was hilarious

Dannii would never pour water over Louis or snog Simon on live TV. And when she got pissed on Xtra Factor goes without saying

[Scarlett.]

I like Danni lol, I just liked Sharon as a judge too :P

[Niamh.]

Louis & Danni are my favs. Except for Louis picking the twins though. I used to like Simon but he's too smarmy these days and I think Cheryl is a fake

[Harry!]

Dannii is my fave judge on the X Factor. I would love her to sing on the show.

[Niamh.]

She will be wont she? Did I hear that somewhere?

[setanta]

I wouldn't trust Sharon Osbourne as far as I could throw her... she's as sneaky as Cheryl.

[Tom]

True, shes vile and a rubbish mentor but she was hilarious
