It seems to me the media always have to have one person fitting into a certain role. We had Cheryl Cole, famous for once being a singer, then famous for, well, being famous (stuff about her private life, paparazzi snaps in the trash mags all the time, etc). People more or less forgot she was once a singer and she became known as a 'celebrity'. The Cheryl thing was done to death, magazines saturated for years with photos every week, the tabloids too, appearing on TV shows, books written by her and so on (well, she didn't write them but she claims she did).
The UK seemed to be tiring of Cheryl in this role later on and needed someone knew. Cheryl was in her late-20's by then too. Who could the media promote to the level of the nation's sweetheart, media savvy, etc? Step forward Tulisa. She is 6 years younger than Cheryl (I think). Cheryl is now 30 which is old in the eyes of many. Tulisa is, I believe, 24. So Tulisa now has that crown which Cheryl once had and Cheryl is heard about less and less nowadays. These things go in cycles and just think there is some girl out there who might not be known at all, yet, who is like 17 or 19 years old today, and the baton will pass to her once the media are done with Tulisa, everyone is bored with Tulisa, and once Tulisa gets too old, and this girl will be super-famous. It's a funny world. Do people think Tulisa wears the crown as well as Cheryl did, or did you prefer Cheryl in that role?

I've always thought Cheryl is very pretty, but she is very skinny. Quite a nice bum, but the rest of her is very lean. Tulisa on the other hand has a really nice shape, curves in all the right places and an amazingly toned stomach! Wow!
Same.
OMG me too!!!!
I don't think you can really attribute a "here today, gone tomorrow" label to Cheryl, she has had a very successful 10+ year career, I don't really think she can be called talentless either, ok she doesn't have the strongest voice but she does have a nice tone and she is a brilliant dancer
Tulisa, although not having been around as long, she has been around for 6ish years
Fast forward a year and Tulisa was exposed as having a millionaire father (and so didn't have the same background people thought she had), her music was truly awful, failing to chart high despite being promoted on X Factor, the sex tape leak, and now the cocaine thing. She has become a bit of a laughing stock which never happened to Cheryl. Whilst Cheryl has a lot of fans and at one point seemed untouchable, she still has her detractors but doesn't seem to generate anywhere near the same level of hate as Tulisa does. And a lot of anti-Cheryl comments were due to overexposure.
There was the expectation of her being the new Cheryl, and she probably could have been, but ultimately poor management and has insistence to be "real" has ruined her and her career.
Can she take Emeli Sande and Geordie Shore with her?:D
So yeah, you have a solid argument in that way.
At the end of the day, she's only the "new" Cheryl because people have stopped paying attention to Cole and started paying attention to Tulisa, so the media follows suit.
