Does Cheryl have a realistic chance of cracking America?
apparently she's going to try and there's hype around it but I'm just wondering if someone of her limited talent has what it takes.. over here most of her appeal is because of her persona and the whole "Nation's sweetheart" thing. they don't know and presumably won't care about all of that.

I wouldn't say so. Though she has cowell on her side, so who knows? Isn't she supossed to be a judge on US X factor? that'll help, I guess.

I'd say no.
She's a crap singer but that doesn't seem to matter these days just look at Britney Spears "cough" vocals. |

The simple truth is she is too old. Amerca is a completely different market to Europe..

If 19 keeps persisting on foisting 80s style crap on their acts then NO. If it isn't a cover version AND a ballad then Simon Cowell's management team don't have a fooking clue!

She is said to be collaborating with some well-known American stars like Ne-Yo, which would help her chances. It seems to be only the male artists who say they would love to work with her, I wonder why
And of course Cowell loves her so with his influence he'll get her plenty of coverage over there - same as he did with Leona |

She is too old to do both like a previous poster said. Their markets are different. So she would need to choose one. Having Simon selling you doesn't mean you are sure of success either. Not given that 70% of the people he represents have done nothing in America at all. Cheryl will need radio play and a big music name to back her in order to sell. Will I Am isn't exactly the sort of media force that say Usher is. So if she could get some duet set up with Usher then she really could be onto something but being realistic I really doubt she will do anything major over there music wise but accent troubles aside I can see her doing well on American TV. |

No offence but most Americans probably won't understand what she's saying.

No If America have to loved her already then they never will, but i suppose with Cowell by her side and Artits like Neyo wanted to work with her she still could.

And I'm pretty certain Britney is a better singer than Cheryl. |

As a celebrity yes, a singer no.

I think America recent (seemingly) slightly anti-British sentiment won't help either.BP oil spill etc.
Also heard that the R&B market is generally very divided.It has mostly a black following.White women working alongside black artists is frowned on a little - Black Eyed Peas is an exception I suppose.I don't think 'Cheryl (Coles?) skinny white arse' will appeal to a black orientated market. |

You can't compare Britney and Cheryl. Britney is America's sweetheart.

Britney gets away with her lack of/poor vocals now because of who she is. People put up with her shit because she's seen to have 'earned' it.
To a certain degree, Cheryl has the same privilege here. People put up with her lack of vocal talent because she's good looking and the 'nations sweetheart'. I don't think she'd get away with it the US, they have no reason to cut her slack. They don't care about her personal drama and have no idea who Girls Aloud are. That being said, a hit song is a hit song. If she can swipe a string of big collaborations, keeps up her (beardy) 'relationship' with Derek and lands the US X Factor she could do ok for a while. I highly doubt she'll be massive over there, but she may get a hit or two. Her accent will hugely hinder a tv role over there though. In fact, I think it may prevent it from happening at all. |

No, I don't think she has a realistic chance of cracking America because, they're just not interested in her enough.
No she's not there yet, but her name is out there, but as far as I can see, none of the gossip sites (apart from Perez because he's probably paid to...or is just kissing arse in case) ever report on her. Just look at Cheryl's people's attempt to stir us gossip with her dating that gay-face dancer guy. (NOTE!! I don't think he's actually gay! He just has a really strong case of gay-face.) No one cares. She should just stay put here. |

America isn't the be-all and end-all of music.

Leona has since bombed in the States and many see her as a one hit wonder.

but the difference is Leona (although I can't stand her "music") has the kind of voice that America likes, that big voice. although America is also full of people with limited abilities, they have their own style and niche. I don't know where she could fit it and as much as this sounds bad, the geordie accent wont help.
If Cheryl tries to make an impact over there, I doubt it will be because of the music - her success as a solo artist here isn't down to that either if we're being honest. |

A white woman pretending to sing and have 'attitude' will get her nowhere in the US. She couldn't release any song off her current album and expect success, America will just laugh at her voice. Plus she has almost no fanbase there, no Cheryl and Ashley 'oh she is a survivor' crap and certainly no recognition from being in GA. She is in this for the money, and if she goes to the US as a singer then it will be purely for cash. Her best hope is to try and make it their as a presenter or media personality like Posh or Kim K, then maybe she can try and launch a singing career. But that is highly unlikely.
