she can mime beautifully.......

Technically, it's not miming. She uses the same technology that the A-list divas use, can't remember the name of it though. Basically, whenever she sings off-note or deep or high, the system merges those off vocals with a pre-recorded live-track that compensates and "fills" any missing audio.

Because this is done digitally, and requires its own separate sound mixer who's on the ball at all times, it's very expensive. So most artists don't bother.

Yes she can sing. Just not very well. I don't find her nice to listen to at all. She's vastly overrated. She's a good dancer though.

To make up for her lacking of singing skills she'd have to be an amazing dancer, but she isn't, she's just good.

Well, she's really not good enough to be a popstar, nevermind one of the biggest selling.

Put it this way - she is more popular and successful than YOU'LL ever be!!!

Well I think it must of been set to very off key before kicking in, some of the stuff that made it through the Big Weekend set 'unfilled' was more like karaoke at 3am style vocals.

But her husband cheated on her.........Being successful and popular doesn't meant you're happy.

This just backs up the point people are making.

She is extremely mediocre, yet somehow has been successful. Tbh the money would be nice, but i wouldn't want that. Id much prefer to be famous for having a big talent in singing, songwriting and not being in every celeb gossip magazine selling my current story....

And please she is NOT the most attractive woman in the world, she's great looking but being orange (quite often) is not attractive and if i was being picky her profile isn't very nice imo. So anyone who uses that as one of her 'talents' don't bother

She can't sing well and she's only popular because she's pretty, it's sad, if she looked like a chav and sang like that she'd get booed off the stage, oh well. She should be a model full-time instead of a singer, I think she'd have a better career as a model, it just makes sense really

She can sing but just not particularly well. I'd say she'd get past the first auditions of X Factor and then get booted out.

Oh I completely agree - her success baffles me. I think many are just blinded by a pretty face and funnt accent. They think she's the best thing since sliced bread when she can't actually sing well at all, is a good dancer but nowhere near the standard of dancers that you see working professionally or making the finals of SYTYCD etc. All she's got is a pretty smile.

It is beyond me why everyone worships her. Especially with her criminal record and very public admission of having no remorse for it - I wouldn't have thought that's something that people can just brush under the carpet. But clearly with Cheryl, they can.

She's an OK singer. There are worse singers than her and there are better singers than her. The only song I like of hers is Parachute.

Purely out of interest, can you give me an example of a singer who is worse than Cheryl Cole?

Once again, I'm not doing this because I can't stand the woman, but I don't think I can.

The only time I've seen her sing decently/well live is with Snow Patrol at Children In Need Rocks the Royal Albert Hall

Other than that on performance, no I don't think she can sing amazingly.”

Yep....I agree.....Personally I think she should ditch the Euro pop/dance sh*t and re-invent herself as a sultry rock chick...Lol

ANYONE can have a good recording voice! Live is where it shows.Cheryl is tuneless.

She has no talent whatsoever as she gets all teh hard work done by song writers and well known producers. As a result saving her life

if she goes to america she will burn alive

But she can dance!!

Yes. Britney Spears. Currently, Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston are worse than her, but both could sing better in the past. Pete Doherty and Jason Derulo are both worse singers than Cheryl Cole imo, as is Joe who won X Factor.
