Cheryl Cole 'to mime on X Factor'

[lick]

Cheryl Cole will reportedly mime parts of her debut solo single when she performs on The X Factor this weekend.

According to the Daily Mail, the Girls Aloud star will rely on pre-recorded vocals when she takes to the stage to promote her new song 'Fight For This Love'. It is thought that she will only sing live at certain moments in the performance.

An insider said: "Cheryl is the breakout star of Girls Aloud and there are big plans for her. Nobody - neither on The X Factor nor her record label Polydor - wants to see her fail, which is why we thought it was better for Cheryl to mime her performance.

"But, of course, Cheryl will be heavily criticised for not singing live and then returning to her judge's chair to cast judgement on the hopefuls, who will have spent all week rehearsing and battling nerves."

Yesterday, show producers confirmed that Cole will record her performance hours before broadcast "to ensure she can fully continue with her judging commitments on The X Factor later that evening".

The news followed rumours that Cole was "in a blind panic" over singing on the programme.http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/xfactor/news/a181946/cheryl-cole-to-mime-on-x-factor.html

I can sort of understand it, I know your going to say about the contestants, but Cheryl has had the security for 7 years of performing with 4 other girls and all backing each others solo parts. It will be scary and from PSTR she has hardly performed solo infront of anyone.
But all that said, it is extremely hypercritical of her to be honest, dont know how serious people will take her after this. Although, credit to her for actually getting up and doing it.

doing what getting up on stage and moving her lips... anyone can do that

[Alkaz]

Did you actually read my post?
Its one thing getting up there and actually singing, but when for the past 7 years you've been in a 5 peice group when you obviously have others on the stage, they are a comfort blanket. If its something you've never done before, then obviously its nervous but you've no other experience with other people singing with you on stage like she has. That's all I am saying.

Yes i did read your post and its still a load of ********, so what WOW 3 other girls singing with her.. she has still sung in front of thousands i don't really see why she has to be worried just because she is on her own :S

unless she is just really **** and she only sounds good with girls aloud because she is singing a word here and there

[Misawa]

She's going to be upstaged even more by Whitney Houston.

[lick]

probs be upstaged by the contestants as well LOL

[Alkaz]

Well, I would like to see you go up there and do it.

[lick]

[Alkaz]

Look forward to seeing you on it next year. And to be honest, she isnt participating in the contest.

No you watch it for your Irish toy boy :S

[lick]

hardly a toy boy :lol:

[efq]

Atleast she admits shes going to, like others who hide it.

I think it's because she is performing her latest song Fight for this love, and there is indeed alot of dance steps. You can't really sing excellently whilst doing all them active dance moves, it just won't sound good. So, yeah, she probably will mime. It doesn't make a different. Why critisise her, when alot of other artists do it frequently.

It's not THAT hard unless you're doing the can can or something. Beyonce, for example, does both. Usually if they dance rather than sing it's because they aren't a great singer in the first place.

My guess is she'll sing the verses then dance while miming the chorus.

[Inseriousity.]

I don't really mind if she mimes, half asleep, drunk, on drugs (*coughs amy winehouse on a good day*). She still won popstars the rivals so she must have some singing voice, I dont really care if she mimes now.

= "we have no faith in her ability at all" :rolleyes:.

what's that supposed to mean? none of us are doing it because we know we can't and/or we're not hyped up celebrities who have made a fortune from supposedly singing.

imo you're either a singer or you're not. if you can't sing a song by yourself on stage without any technological rubbish, then don't.

this is part of the reason i listen to bands who make real music. if you go to a chilis gig or any band like that, they will be singing and playing instruments. no rubbish.
