What rot! There are plenty of people who don't do well at school for many reasons which don't involve intelligence. I used to work in the Adult Literacy programme and our students were not unintelligent - just uneducated.

I like Cheryl. She has no side and is genuine and honest with her opinions.

Are you serious or is this your first time on the internet?

Cheryl is as genuine & honest as David Cameron when discussing hogwarts.

I like Cheryl and have found her to be a much better Judge this year than Last ,

Last Year she looked really uncomfortable and as if she didn't want to be there

This year she seems a lot Happier and has been giving some good,constructive criticism

I really like her as a person, I'm not sure how she looks at the minute is a good influence on young girls though.

Out of curiosity did you watch Cheryl at the judges houses?

I watched it all on YouTube and after each group performance it was Jess Glynne who was being the most constructive with her comments with Cheryl just replying "yeah, yeah...i agree, yeah".

Get Jess Glynne on the panel. Talented and knows what she's talking about. Not some "yeah" woman who can't form her own opinion.

Pfft!!!

I find her very unlikable these days, she has limited talent but thankfully for her Simon took a shine to her and stuck her on this show otherwise she'd be nowhere now.

Also the fact on Piers Morgan Life Stories the punching in the club was never addresses suggested both herself and ITV want to forget her chav thug lifestyle before she was polished up.

I like Cheryl I always have I don't see how many people don't like her she gives great criticism I liked her this saturday.

Cheryl is a legend and is the only thing giving the show any musical credibility at the moment. The show is very lucky to have her. You can tell the contestants yearn for her approval the most after their performances.

Musical credibility??!! Are you serious? Please explain how Cheryl Cole has musical credibility.

Yeah! thumbs up button is missing..

We have all heard her live, she can't carry a tune in a bucket.

Shes not on her own there of course, and pop music is more about the right tune and image than it is singing prowess, but lets not pretend she is anything special where musical talent is concerned. She is very marketable (or was, not so sure now), there is a difference.

When I read stuff in the press about the xfactor decline they never mention how poor Cheryl actually is. It's as if they are not allowed to.
She is definitely one of the reasons I now hate the show.

cheeky!

I like Cheryl! When she was on TFI she got to show her fun side, up for a laugh. She seems to be enjoying her category and having fun. I think like any celeb, she's marmite.

I like Cheryl. Put it this way, she's at least as credible and intelligent as any of the other judges on the panel.

I like her a lot , both hearing her talk and just looking at her. She's one of the better judges on that show.

I also love how when Cheryl and Simon were bickering on Xtra Factor, she was so sincere and passionate about what she was saying and didn't resort to checking herself out on the monitors every 5 seconds making sure her hair was in place and that her make up was immaculate.

love this thread and Cheryl love

I've never been a big Cheryl fan but I have to admit that I'm liking her a lot this year and I think that she's doing a great job with her acts.

I do like Cheryl but as she is getting a little older she comes across as an aunt getting down with the kids now
