I'm shocked at the love for Cheryl's performance :mellow: I thought it was ridiculously weak, though the song itself is alright.

 

..........it was weak and Carrie Grant the vocal coach confirmed on GMTV that "she had a lot of help" with her performance .....meaning that she mimed to large parts of it - confirmed by her husband David Grant who was there in the studio.

Carrie Grant is not the vocal coach - Yvie Burnett is

 

Oh, were you saying like Carrie Grant (the vocal coach) in case people didn't know who she was, if so - ignore my (full-on Cheryl bumming) post.

She was okish, just like the song.

 

If She keeps on selling like that, she'll beat Poker Face ;o.

That confirms why it was better than I'd thought it would be but still not a great vocal. Still it'll sell by the bucketload as what has being able to sing got to do with topping the singles chart. :rolleyes: Cheryl is a marketing dream.

WOO! Go Alphabeat! Finally Top 20 :wub:

 

Come on YSR and Cobra too. Top 10 beckons!

 

Also does anyone know if Buble will perform 'Haven't Met You Yet' on X Factor this week? :unsure:

Cheryl is out-selling Alexandra by about 2.5 to 1, and out-selling Chipmunk by nearly 8 to 1. :o

 

Don't know if this has been mentioned but Whitney is now 4 :o

Cheryl's performance was outstanding, everything about it - not one thing was bad.

 

Lead looking great for Cheryl, hope Alex still sells well this week!

 

Anyone else a bit shocked about the group performance being mimed??? It's a shame when this gets overlooked but every second of Cheryl's has been nit-picked here...

 

Anyway Go Cheryl!

I don't care whether Cheryl mimed parts of her peformance (though I do actually doubt she did) I thought it was a brilliant performance, and good on her.

Go Alphabeat :wub: And Whitney too. I had doubts she could sell in the digital era, but nuh-uh :kink:
