Now before you all slate me for saying, 'OMG are you crazy,' or 'You are mad,' please read my argument below.
I am not a Cheryl Cole fan, I don't mind her songs but I won't go and buy them or support her in any shape or form.
I think everyone can sing and hold a tune. The problem with many people is that they have the wrong technique and therefore appeal to a different audience to what their vocal style is all about. They also sing the wrong songs not intended for their vocal ability. Someone with a soft vocal cord should be singing pop songs or slightly rapping.
Cheryl can sing but she sings songs where background music is more important and the whole release and appeal to it more. Cheryl is more of a performer than a singer I will say and this is where people get wrong. She is a money maker which means that her sole purpose to attract an audience and sell records and make money like One Direction basically. If Cheryl wanted to become a respectable singer then she would do. Singing is not about holding a high note, it's about having a melody and tune. If a pop singer was to sing opera, they would be out of tune. Every single singing category won't fit for any singer so out of tune can mean anything.
Cheryl can hold a note and tune but fair enough can't really reach the high notes. This can be heard in her new single Crazy Stupid Love .
We all like different singers/bands and songs which demonstrate different singing abilities. Wouldn't it be boring if we all liked the same stuff?
We're all born to be able to sing, whether or not we choose to expand on it is our opinion. It's just that I've seen a lot of people slate her and I feel sorry for her really to be honest with you. Please don't hate me. Like I mentioned, I'm not a fan of Cheryl's music so this opinion isn't biased.

As for her singing voice, I wouldn't go all crazy over it but when it comes to up-tempo songs like Sexy Den A Mutha, Call My Name and Crazy Stupid Love, they do compliment her well. It's her mid to "slower" songs like Parachute, The Flood or even Under The Sun that does not do her any justice. It sounds like she is struggling. Screw You is the only exception that I can think of, mainly because she sings in the lower range (despite a few odd lines where she attempts to go high).
I don't necessarily think she is a bad singer at all. In fact, she can sing good when it comes to pop songs that suit her. It's mainly the slower songs that let her down massively. Moreover, there are many singers that sound much worse vocally, in my opinion.
She's a pop singer and an entertainer, and she always puts on a good performance.
Yeah exactly and she must be doing something right as she does sell records and albums. I also think that Cheryl isn't as auto tuned as other singers as you can tell the way she sings and the way Ke$ha sings that it sounds more robotic.
People often put her in the same bracket as britney, but at least she had a bit of character to her voice back in the day, Cheryl could sing someone into a coma.
Everyone has a different voice, having a stronger voice, and having a good singing voice is different, sometimes they can be combined but people need to get the idea out of their heads that:
Shrieking high notes = good singer
If I was her vocal coach I would recommend work on breath control to pronounce and carry notes. Nerves greatly affect her voice. Like many. She can sing. She has a good character to her voice and is identifiable from others.
I think that people say that she can't sing because of her pitch - she misses notes owing to nerves and perhaps lack of technique. She does sound flat or notes are wobbly in places, but I have heard her well rehearsed and she has delivered well.
Did you see her last night on BGT. Little Mix absolutely wiped the floor with her! I find it totally unfathomable how she managed to bag a judging role on a talant show.
I'm also quite confused as to how she managed to make the final of Popstars The Rivals! Clearly standards weren't quite a high as they are today.
People love to pick and choose who they slate.
Didn't they mime it all? Look at Jesy and Jade's lips at the start when they start singing, they over did it. Still thought it was a good performance though.
Yes and she sounded terrible. She did her stiff as a board dancing too. However I'm sure she will get to number one and regain her nation's sweetheart title when she returns to the x-factor later this year.
Nothing but a talentless Geordie attention seeker. Talentless little bint she is.
Then I heard her sing last night.

Sounds acceptable in a lot of them, she isn't a vocal queen but who cares? Whoever said she had to be?
I think her voice worked well in girls aloud and is perhaps more suited to being in a girl group but she has done very well for herself with what she has.
People need to remember it was the public that voted her into Girls Aloud, she wouldn't be where she is now without that.
Just not very well.
I do enjoy some of her music though but she just comes across as such a half arsed pop star. Three solo albums of material now and only seven single releases from all three. I think she gives up on her albums after single 2 hence why she uses high profile TV show slots to sell the music initially and then she gives up.
I was actually surprised she toured solo in 2012 as I just think her solo career is a mere hobby for her so she has a reason to justify her fame.
