They won't allow her to be signed until after the tour I'd have thought, she's under a contract with the X Factor atm right?

Probably a joint contract. Olly was signed the day after the final in a joint one with Simon's label and Epic.

Ahh okay, good on her then! Although I think it's a bit silly to rush straight into a record deal with will.i.am, she should wait a bit to see what other offers come her way first. I think she'll be more successful than Matt Cardle at any rate.

Usually that's the case but I think it depends on Simon's mood, I doubt he would stand in Chers way at all so it will likely be done quickly.

I did really enjoy her first performance tonight though, I have to admit and be fair.

She will be signed very soon

to be sucessful you have to have lots of people buy your cd and seeing as cher wasn't too popular, she has her work cut out, anyway best of luck to her, she might have a hit or 2.

Over a million fans on Facebook. Diana Vickers was similar with her popularity and recently had a #1 album and single.

This is the kind of fked up mentality X factor fans have. So what if she has one million 'FANS' on facebook. Chances are, a lot of them went on that page to slag her off and say they don't like her.

Cher has no talent. She is NOT original and she will NEVER get a number 1 UK single or number 1 UK album. End of story.

Over a million fans on facebook - yet they weren't enough of a fan each to pick up phones to vote to save her the last two weeks..... not much of a fan base then eh?

Looks like she's going to have to rely on the involvment of an already long established group - far senior to her in years - to mollycoddle her into getting finding some stardom.

The proof will be in the pudding - and you can guarantee that in a few years time - if she even lasts that long - she will be a non entity.

They didn't save Diana either but oh look at her now, She's SUCH a flop...I know i've been raging about Matt all day but I gave him credit when he earns it. You can't see past your hate of her.

I don't have to see past anything to keep you happy. !!!

I cannot stand the girl, she is exactly the type of youngster that this country doesn't need: a stroppy little diva, with not a great deal of talent, who thinks the world owes her a living. That's entirely my right to have that opinion and to voice it. It's that simple really.

If she had any real discerning talent, I'd cut her some slack. As it is, I don't believe she has.

It's very easy to change perspective, all she needs is one good single and a bit of promotion and she'll do well. Public opinion is malleable and wishy washy, it never stays the same.

I reckon simon will snap her up if he can, although like I think Locke said a co deal could be in place.

She's better than Fergie! She'd have been amazing in the BEP...

Stop over-reacting with the drama - I was referring to the generalised overhype of Cher in respect of Will I Am's words on her - that's pretty deluded in my opinion. Get your facts right before coming on accusing people of things they didn't actually type.

The 2nd paragraph in my post ref Fergie was in direct opinion to the post concerned, not the 1st.

Vocally Fergie is weak, I don't know how anyone can argue with that. Cher is a better singer, and rapper, I think.

Let's get real here - Willy boy is infatuated with Cheryl and will no doubt do anything to get into her pants including giving the talentless one a deal. I doubt there's anyone else beating a path to her door, so if she has any sense she'll grab it and exploit her limited appeal for a few months tills she fades into obscurity. And what was all that bullshine he was waffling about her being a songwriter?

Ok.

No one else would want to sign her? Clearly Simon would, he's showed that he would want to many of times. Many of already established artists have said they'd like to work with her, which would alert many record labels of wanting to sign her because they know she would be in demand. And there is nothing wrong with wanting to get in Cheryl's pants.

And how would you know she isn't a songwriter? You haven't worked with her like he has.

Well no doubt time will tell, but based on the evidence of my own eyes and ears I can't see any longevity in her fifteen minutes of fame. She brings nothing new to the hip hop/rap table, and clearly her so called fans were pretty underwhelmed since they couldn't be arsed to back her by actually voting for her - if that lack of commitment translates into record sales she won't be selling much. In an interview a while back mini me said she would like to write her own songs eventually, but clearly she hasn't YET. I'm sure if she'd done anything decent of her own it would have been showcased earlier on in the show - as it was she successfully managed to butcher some truly iconic songs.

And as for Simon wanting to sign her, he had first dibs but realised there's not much you can do with a one trick pony. He's only kept Cheryl's pet clone in because he, too, is hypnotised by the contents of her pants. If Cheryl ever gives up her so called pop career(), she'd have a great future in the oldest profession in the world.
