She's had the most solo success.

Well, she helped Will.I.Am get to #4 on the charts. Plus she's probably the most famous member of the group.

Evening. I was wondering too, unless she was out of work at the time?

Don't forget she also assaulted a woman in a nightclub. I'm sure that went into consideration as they decided..

Wasn't this explained at the very beginning when it was announced she was going to be on it?

Cheryl caught Simon's eye when she was doing Celebrity Apprentice (or something like that) and she persuaded him to make a huge donation... he thought she was good at that and thought she looked good on TV. She was originally going to do Britain's Got Talent, but was unavaliable so Simon got Amanda Holden in. Once Sharon had left, Simon asked Cheryl and she said she was avaliable to do it, so took the job.

I suspect for the same reason she got into the band, her looks! She seems nice enough and the producers have given her the best category to help her along.

That was in my hometown of Surrey! She was apparently racist, but she has a mixed race husband, and she chose Alexandra to be in her top three.

That would be famous husband who cheated on her.

She may be the gobbiest in GA but as for prettier, IMO, Nadine is infinitely more beautiful than Cheryl, not to mention an immeasurably better singer.

Why did Cheryl get the gig? She is the most attention seeking member of the band and that is what Simon is all about.

Assaulting a person and insulting every one you get the opportunity to insult is normal, is it? What a lovely area you must live in

Because they needed a judge to reflect the trailer-trash that constitutes 90% of the viewers and contestants, and there was a vacancy after Sharon left...

Really? And what % of us on here are trailer-trash in your opinion?

I think it was because she was good looking and she has a feistyness.

As has been said, Simon met her more than a year ago doing Celebrity Apprentice and decided he had to put her on TV. He tried to get her on Britain's Got Talent but she refused. When Sharon left, he needed a new judge... hence Cheryl was the natural option. Her plus points being that she is in a very successful girlgroup that are still relevant and having hits, she is already famous, she has a reputation for being opinionated, she's comfortable on TV, she looks the part, she appeals to the key demographic (16-34).
