Cheryl Cole lands US record deal
Opinions...??
Personally, I can't see her going very far in America, based on the fact that miming is much harder to get away with over there and that 'Promise This', while I adore it, isn't a huge song, as I assume that's what she would open with... |

Its all about marketing, You don't need to be a great singer to be a "pop" star which of course she isn't.
She'll be seen as the new Posh Spice and will probably appear on all chat shows like Jay Leno etc... and do make up commercials. Bit like here really, they just shove it in your face 24 hours until you start to beleive she is a star. |

i doubt its for the american market but more aimed at Europe possibly Australia and Asia
Americans are more critical of their musician and since she cant sing live she wont do well in America |

I dunno there are plenty of pop stars who can't sing well but are just sold on their looks. She already has links there with Will.I.Am, US XFactor, other celeb friends and whatnot. It's about promotion.

Thing is there are a million Cheryl's in LA let alone America as a whole. I can't see her making a success of herself. The only reason she sells over here is because of her assocation with X Factor. Had she not been on this show she wouldn't have even had a solo deal in the UK.

There really aren't any popstars in the US who consistently lipsync though.
Britney is the only exception I can think of, but she only gets away with it because of the fact she's Britney Spears. Even then she gets criticised. Katy Perry, Ke$ha and Rihanna are not good singers, but they do sing live. I really don't know how welcoming they will be to a British celebrity who they don't know or care about, turning up and miming. They're not obliged to like or put up with her because they don't know Girls Aloud or feel any sympathy for the divorce from a footballer they've never heard of, or the fact she had malaria. They won't understand her either. If she gets good material given to her then she might stand a chance, but if she can't perform it well then she'll be in trouble. She needs to build a profile there, and you can't really do that if people tear down your performances for miming. |

Britney used to sing live though. She had a decent voice but now she just lipsyncs. Probably to do with her lifestyle. Her fame is so huge so she gets away with it.
Cheryl will struggle to get away with it in the US. The US have no reason to put up with Cheryl doing it. |

if the US execs signed Cheryl Cole based on her chart position then they are in for a flop, she only jumps that high because of XFactor TV exposure (not music)

Singles: Cheryl - 1, 4, 5 Alex - 1, 1, 8, 4, 1 JLS - 1, 1, 6 Cheryl is the least successful, statistically. Her signing is based on hype. |

America will love her as they have absolutely no taste whatsoever.

Against other artists, though, Cheryl doesn't chart overly high. Compare her to Alexandra Burke and JLS (two acts I do not like, so I cannot be biased).
Singles: Cheryl - 1, 4, 5 Alex - 1, 1, 8, 4, 1 JLS - 1, 1, 6 Cheryl is the least successful, statistically. Her signing is based on hype. Anyways, unless the quality of her singles improves dramatically she doesn't have a chance of making it here. It's all about strong singles. Although she did have success in Europe and Australia so that's a positive sign for her. |

Have you checked her sales ? That's all that matters in the end.

Cheryl - 916,000, 310,000, 355,000, Album 874,000 Alex - 1,100,000+, 692,000, 257,000, 247,500, 222,200, Album 700,000+ JLS - 511,300, 406,000, 311,800, Album 1,216,100 Alex has clearly had the most successful era in terms of comparing their first albums. |

Britney, Madonna and Janet disagree.
![]() America don't need another singer. They have Lady GaGa, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Ke$ha... To be accepted over there would be an honour and it isn't one achieved lightly. She needs to vastly improve her status as a singer. She won't receive media hype as 'the nation's sweetheart' over there... |

Alexandra's album is still only single platinum, so must be between 300k-600k in sales, and are you sure her singles have sold that much?, broken heels for example seems a little inflated. |

I don't think Cheryl would risk going over there and losing the amount of media attention she has herel.
