With Cheryl Cole‘s X Factor hopes now in tatters on both sides of the atlantic, her Stateside manager, Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am has spoken out on the drama as well as her future prospects.
Check out what he had to say after the jump…
According to hitmaker, who assumed control of her US interests earlier this year:
“She always comes back stronger, and she always comes back bigger.
Cheryl has been through rougher things than this, so this is going to be no problem for her.
The X Factor is not the only way for Cheryl to break the US, it’s not like it’s the only show on television.
And remember that Cheryl is a recording artist first. Over the next few months she’s potentially going to be working with artists like Rihanna, Katy Perry, Usher, and of course the Peas.” {Source}
Instead of learning the oh-so-clear lesson that Cole can’t automatically become a star Stateside, will looks to cash in on his contacts to ‘make her happen’. He better have that biblical pull, because he’s trying to turn water into wine. Cole, as Fox producers spotted with the swiftness, lacks substance. Something, regardless of how often you place her next to talented acts, will always be abundantly obvious. Case, point, example…
Speaking of Fox execs, one said of Cole:
“Instead of attending the Grammy Awards and the Coachella music festival, putting herself out there in America, she sat in her hotel room eating digestive biscuits”
Ouch…

Lmao water into wine, Lord you crack me up Sam!
😀 at the Fox exec’s statement! Love it!
“Instead of attending the Grammy Awards and the Coachella music festival, putting herself out there in America, she sat in her hotel room eating digestive biscuits”
OMG this exec got me ROFL to one side of the room with this one.
will i am is the biggest coconut c*** there is.There are so many talented singers that he could assist yet he wastes his time with racist Cheryl the guy has issues.Cheryl cannot sing live, always mimes and has no real talent what can he do for her in the US.
@Sam —
Forget what Fox News is saying, here’s what ‘The Mainstream’ is saying, as can be seen over on TMZ:
“As TMZ first reported, Cole was supposed to be on the U.S. version of the show, but was given the boot because producers thought her accent was too thick for American audiences.
GUESS THE BRITS DON’T HAVE ANY ISSUE WITH ROWLAND’S THICK ACCENT.”
Sam, the “Blow Back” from Sheryl Crow being replaced with Kelly Rowland has begun..!!
Here’s the link, have a read: http://www.tmz.com/2011/05/30/cheryl-cole-x-factor-uk-british-judge-kelly-rowland/
(Additionally…) She can now be seen, over on ybf.com hugging-up and kissing YT, on a Miami Beach. Now I ask, what HETEROSEXUAL Black Man will NOW support Kelly Rowland?
The s*** is getting thick, I LOVE IT..!! While Ciara’s fans have disappointed me, those angry YT mobs won’t..!!
X,Y,”and Z”
shut up will, cheryl is nothin without x factor!
So basically, the very person that she said had no “it” factor or stands out at all (Nicole Scherzinger) is the same girl that’s taking her job on X-Factor USA. Karma is a Beyonce!
If ‘William’ is smart, he’ll use these ‘Kelly Rowland hugging-up w/h YT on the beach’ AND, the apparent and obvious disgust, with Cheryl Cole being replaced with Kelly Rowland (as witnessed by the comments on TMZ) and build on them!! If HE needs MY help, I’d gladly volunteer my services!
X,Y,”and Z”
WTH are digestive biscuits? LOL
Will.I.am is blinded with love for this talentless girl….
I watched UK Xfactor last season, could barely understand what Cheryl Cole was saying half the time.
@XYZ……Kelly Rowland does not have a thick accent…what the hell are you talking about……And Kelly has since revealed that the “YT” she was hugged up with on the beach was her neighbor who is gay and married……why are you bein shady dude?
I love digestives…..they are these wheat biscuits covered in chocolate..yummm
Digestive are amazingly delicious, but I think the Grammys and Coachella are better. She can’t do nothing and then expect everything to work out. Simon is running a business and has to fire the ‘slackers’ at the end of the day. She charmed the UK very well with good style choices and looking great. She did not do that there. She did not stand out and took a step back. That is not going to work, she needed this to wake her up. Though I do feel bad for her. I think she should rejoin Girls Aloud, then maybe in a couple of years come back bigger, stronger and better! I’m not a fan of her, but I still do feel sorry for her.
Cheryl will be back stronger, she just signed a 5 million deal with a mystery tv show.. And later you will see she will make good music with her crush RhiRhi and others.. Its just about time .. And dont forget at Cannes producers want her to make movies.. Maybe the next angelina jolie
I don’t think a fellow yank would use the phrase ” Digestive Bisquit” . Fox has many Brit and Aussie execs but unless that is the case , I doubt the quote. I had to google the term.
Yea i guess she must be a big star in the UK cause before this post i had no idea who she was…..
#DEAD @ digestive biscuit …….lmfaoooooooooooooo
Forget Cheryl Tweedy…… you call digestives wheat biscuits in America?
@Gregg re: May 31 1:53 pm —
CAN YOU READ..??
“GUESS THE BRITS DON’T HAVE ANY ISSUE WITH ROWLAND’S THICK ACCENT” <– Is a quote taken DIRECTLY from TMZ. If you have a problem with it, then find some 'Motivation', and head on over there, and have a chat with Harvey Levin!
Again, that was what TMZ is reporting! And by the vitriol and venom of the comments, the "blow-back storm" is now gathering and 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland is now directly-square in its path!
"Gay neighbor"..?! ARE YOU STUUUPID? (do you practice at being stuuupid, you're really good at it!)
Again I'll ask – After seeing those "Kelly Rowland hugging/kissing-up YT on the beach" pictures, which heterosexual black man will NOW support her?
Here's an even BETTER question: Did CBreezy's cousin see those pictures? The very said cousin that proudly proclaimed his love for Kelly Rowland? I'll bet you anything, he NOW feels like an 'utter and complete' IDIOT..!!!!
X,Y,"and Z"
why do you guys pay any attention to that one Psycho..moving on. Will I am is saying the truth, X factor is not the only TV show out there and Cheryl cole will be alright so people shouldn,t worry. I,m glad kelly is on there as a judge it will be good for the show and great for her career.
Will I am really needs to get his sh*t checked. All he does is run his annoying mouth

You’re not interested in women anyways so why do you care who Kelly kisses on? You always find a way to hate on Kelly, and you stay researching her every move.SMH You’re pathetic!!!
Like seriously, who gives a (explicit)! Lol. We don’t care about Cheryl in the states…hell we really don’t know who she is. She nerds to have a hit record here for us to even care. Why is this such a big issue?
Will.ia.m has issues
@Jamie re: 2:46 pm —
You’re obviously NOT a heterosexual black man. That said, you just wouldn’t understand!
But what you just MIGHT understand is the anger and resentment that “The Mainstream” is now expressing, go here and read for yourself: http://www.tmz.com/2011/05/30/cheryl-cole-x-factor-uk-british-judge-kelly-rowland/
Here’s the TMZ headline:
“As TMZ first reported, Cole was supposed to be on the U.S. version of the show, but was given the boot because producers thought her accent was too thick for American audiences.
GUESS THE BRITS DON’T HAVE ANY ISSUE WITH ROWLAND’S THICK ACCENT.”
So far, I’ve read ALL 60 TMZ comments. The overwhelming majority are angry, reaching and seems to be bearing-down upon that wigged-out head of 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland!
Let’s see if ‘william’ can use those ybf pictures, AND the growing Mainstream anger and frustration (over Cheryl Cole being replace by 30-something-year-old Kelly Rowland) to mount an offensive (of sorts) to have said 30-something-year-old no-talent Kelly Rowland purged from the Pop-Culture Landscape!
@Dakkylove – I’m sooooo loving this…
Get at me ‘william’ (ciarathebest123@yahoo.com) let’s see if we can ‘form an alliance’ to get Cheryl some justice..!!
X,Y,”and Z”
OBVIOUSLY WILL.I.AM AND NICKIN MINAJ IS THE STAR OF THAT VID. LIP SYNCING COLE IS A DISTRACTION. SHE DOES THE SAME DAMN LINE OVER AND OVER. A YAWWWNER!!
WILL HAS ADDED A BACKGROUND SINGER TO THE BEP’S. LOLZ!!
yeah…what he said…:)…I like cheryl cole..she is pretty..too..
…I swear I wouldn’t visit this site as much no more if I wasn’t making money with every comment I make..smh…if u tired of JUST reading it..do this too http://goo.gl/cMCpm
Nah man that comment from the Fox exec is just scandalous! lmao!!!
Will I Am really gets on my f***** nerves!!!!! Him and his autotuned mic!!!!
Cheryl cole… i love you:)
whatever, WILLIAM is a such a goddamn niggro if there ever was one.
now america knows shes TRYING to break it over there.. its not going to be easy… why is everyone FORCING things on us… cant we just embrace u
Cheryl Cole could break in USA if she ditches her attitude . She’s not Simon, she’s not gonna do everything she thinks she’s entitled to do and receive praise for that.
If the rumors are true about why she got fired, she needs to sit down, take a big slice of humble pie and work on her strategy. Basically she’s nobody in the States.
lmfao that exec had me dying
I am so over William. He thinks he is some kind of superstar, always speaking arrogantly and stepping into other people’s business as if his opinion really matters. He really annoys the crap out of me. Also, his sound is so dated I turn off the radio whenever Bep is on.
damn that man is ugly..i mean ugly.. no amount of money would make me smang this negro..
where was he when God was handing out looks?
why his hair always look so damn nappy?
back on topic….
we already got a bunch of broads here and America who cant sing, entertain worth of s***, so why the f*** we need a another broad from a different country who cant sing, and uses her looks..
s*** we already got rihanna..
Cheryl should just quit the industry. She is so unlikable with one of the worst personalities ever. Her bitchiness makes me want to strangle her dead. Also, that thick accent makes her sound like an animal talking gibberish. How are you going to do well in the industry when you can’t even communicate properly.
Who?
Cheryl should, cheryl is.. omg lol you don’t even know her!! I just don’t know why you don’t let her a chance.. I meen is it because she not know in the us? or maybe because she’s britain lol or because of her accent ahah? I didn’t know much about her before, and I start to be interested in her with the song : 3 words feat Will.I.Am, Its a good song, and it really particular sounds in it.. than I start to become a big fan when I watch every part she did in The X Factor Uk.. I don’t know why I love her so much, I think its because she just so cute when she talks, I meen her personality is the sweetest. And she’s a good judge, she choose the good person and she have the right words. I just like to say that she was not axe on X Factor for her accent.. this is ridiculous.. the real thing its because Danni Minogue quit X Factor uk, and then Ytv need her to come back to make the show.. but she didn’t accept what they did to her, and she refuses The big Offer. And she have big heart, because she said: she knows the line-up for the show 2 week before, and she dont want to take a job of someone else: Kelly Rowland. Simon try to call her for convince her..
And the digestive cookies its just something that media like to say because on in interview she said she prefer when she’s at home with her dogs, looking movies and eating biscuit.. I understand her… paparazzi are after her 24 hour.. She have a lot of job, a lot of interview.. If I was her, sometimes I like to relax at home too.. But I like the fact people talk about her, even if its bad lol, because you don’t know her.
DEATH at the FOX EXEC… giving the TEA on cheryl #dead
yea but we need people that can acually sing not her thanks
I’ll admit I wasn’t feeling Cheryl’s participation on the US X-factor panel, but I would’ve at least given her a shot. Maybe she would’ve been helpful or maybe the execs knew it just wasn’t going to work. I don’t really know her, but she seems like the British Paula in many ways and maybe that isn’ t a good thing.
the FOX exec was absolutely right! Very funny. Cheryl is talentless, pretty but not stunning and an absolute chav. We hate her here in the UK, good luck to the Americans if you have to listen to her horrid miming, bad dancing and inability to pronounce consonants. And on top of that she’s a racist with a criminal record! I bet once she’s back in the USA she’ll be punching every old black or brown woman she meets in the toilet for publicity.
As for Will i am. Him and Simon are wrapped around her little finger and seem to think she deserves success just because she’s their friend. Why wasn’t she content with being famous in the UK? She made millions here despite her lack of talent, personality or appeal
Way better than Kelly not talent c*** Rowland
– shes so boring , she cant sing , cant understand what she saying , JUST A PRETTY FACE BUT NO TALENT ! THAT IS ALL ! lol –
exactly, CHERYL = NO TALENT
“He better have that biblical pull, because he’s trying to turn water into wine.”
@Sam today I love you….LOL…D A M N!!! 🙂
This B*+CH needs to get some where and sit down. Why was she on the song ..oh oh oh?? WTF was that?? All three of them should be shot for making this hot mess of a song!
Sam between you and that Fox Executive LMAO!
Will please stop lying to your friend because you fancy her…. she needs constructive crticism! You and Simon sure made a fool of her and Simon ain’t gonna let any little pretty thing ruin his money. He sure gave up on her quickly as he is competing with big bucks Simon Fuller.
Cheryl…..you believed in your own hype too much that you forgot the American market was very competitive….pretty girls easily replaceable…Nicole is HOT!!! LOL

back on topic….
we already got a bunch of broads here and America who cant sing, entertain worth of s***, so why the f*** we need a another broad from a different country who cant sing, and uses her looks..s*** we already got rihanna.. <—— LMAO……I LOVE U……LOL! 🙂
She cant sing but you have to be a total nube to not understand the accent.
Cheryl cole is amazing, and is the nations sweetheart. Deal with that haters:)
Why are people bashing Kelly rowland? The fact is cheryl did not call Simon back to be on the uk XFactor the were going to bring her back on the uk show but she rather be pissed off then go back to the uk show. People are more mad at the fact Dannie not there because she been the best judge on the uk show. Kelly was part of destiny child very talented singer she interviews well & has alot of character she will be fine on the uk xfactor. The uk like Kelly rowland , when love takes over was number 1 in the uk. We do not discriminate gay people will young & Jessie j prove that talent is what make you sucessful.
I love “Parachute” but I obviously don’t know if she could break US. It already full of females power performance(or vocal). While her voice is an okay & her dancing is also not that a biggie… so… idk idk.
@DJDUNKONTHATBITCH, for you to call Kelly Rowland “untalented” renders ANYTHING you have to say from here on out irrelevant.
This is the same will.i.am that said Michael Jackson would of been desperate to work with this vain self obsessed woman, she is talentless and the US are just not interested in her, just stop trying to break America and be greatful that you have even had success because lets be honest if it wasnt for the Xfactor, and Simon she would of been like all the other members of GA, am so fed up of hearing about her and the Xfactor, she is nothing special and is nothing but a bitter, horrible person, thank god we got the lovely Kelly taking her spot, such a down to earth woman, and unlike Tweedy knows what shes doing and is talented.
Cheryl Cole’s accent is hard to understand, being American and all
but Digestive Biscuits are BANGIN!! cost a lot here in New York, but are really good
AS MUCH AS I LOVE CHERYL I ADMIT SHE TOOK HER JOB IN A VERY IRRESPONSIBLE WAY. SHE SHOULD HAVE GIVEN HERSELF PREVIOUS EXPOSURE IN STATESIDE IN ORDER TO GAIN MORE CONFIDENCE IN HERSELF.
ALSO A HUGE MISTAKE FROM HER WAS RELYING TOO MUCH IN SIMON. B****, YOU HAVE A MOUTH, YOU CAN USE IT TO TALK CRAP ON NICOLE SHEREKEJKJW BUT NOT TO DEFEND YOURSELF. NOW IS WILL.I.AM WHO HAS TO STEP OUT FOR YOU.
HOPE YOU RECOVER AND TAKE TOTAL CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE AND PUBLIC IMAGE. ALSO TAKE SINGING LESSONS, YOU HAVE A NICE VOICE, BUT IT HASN’T REACHED IT’S MAXIMUM POTENTIAL.
YOU CAN DO IT CHERYL, BUT THAT WILL ONLY HAPPEN WHEN YOU SPEAK FOR YOURSELF ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS AND NOT OTHER PEOPLE. IN OTHER WORDS, DON’T BE A S**** OF THE INDUSTRY. INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTARS ARE WHERE THEY ARE BECAUSE THEY DEFEND THEMSELVES AND DON’T GET THEMSELVES DOWN FOR S*** OR STUPID STUFF.
GOT SACKED FROM THE X-FACTOR? THEN ANALYZE ABOUT IT! WHAT DID YOU DO WRONG? WHAT YOU COULD HAVE DONE BETTER? WHAT DO I REALLY WANNA BE? AM I A SINGER OR AM I JUST AN ENTERTAINER?
JUST DON’T STAY IN LONDON GETTING FAT OR GOING TO THE ASS OF THE WORLD TO GET SICK FOR THE NEXT 6 MONTHS AND THEN RELEASE A RECORD AND PRETEND PEOPLE ARE GOING TO CARE ABOUT IT!
DOESN’T KILL YOU, MAKES YOU STRONGER!
GOD BLESS YOU CHERYL! WISH YOU THE BEST! =)
THE END!
Boring, No one cares! NON FACTOR
