For months, there has been mounting speculation surrounding Cheryl Cole‘s involvement with the US incarnation of the X-Factor.
However an official announcement today has ended such talk; confirming that the singer will indeed serve on the judging panel of the hit show when it debuts on Fox this Fall.
Full story after the jump…
Hailed by the British media as being ‘the nation’s sweetheart’, the performer has consistently come under fire from the public for her incessant lip-syncing, lack of talent, and lack of right to judge others. This, however, didn’t appear to phase Simon Cowell and Fox producers, whose actions will now see the ‘singer’ sit beside Cowell and industry heavyweight L.A. Reid.
Speaking on the move, Cole said in a statement:
“I’m so excited to be taking part in the American version of The X Factor. I absolutely love it here in the UK, and with the talent they have out in America, I’m sure we’re going to find someone very special. I can’t wait to get started.
“I just can’t decide whether I am more excited to find and nurture the talent or for the unbelievable amount of amusement and entertainment I will have watching Simon doing everything and anything he can to beat me. He’s tried to beat me for three years in the UK, and hasn’t even come close. His ego must be so bruised. America is gonna love this.”
With Cowell adding:
“I’m thrilled for Cheryl. She is massively excited about this show, and has been fantastic to work with. She is also a complete brat! Most importantly, this girl can spot talent.”
One more judge is set to be revealed ahead of tomorrow’s filmed auditions.
Needless to say, like many, I’m wondering what Simon and co are smoking. Like, Cheryl Cole. Really?…
….Really?
Still, being well versed up on the Cassie‘s and Rihanna‘s of this world, I’m sure US visitors will be quick to call BS. Because whether served on a plate or platter, this is BS in its finest form.
American Idol (1) / X Factor US (Nil).
Randomness: I wonder what the US will think when they hear of her conviction for racial assault?
YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS WORLD WIDE, HERE SHE COMES!!!!!!!!
WHO MAD?
I’M UPSET SHE’S LEAVING US BUT HEY……… US YOU’RE IN FOR A TREAT! YESSSSSS CHERYL! *PLAYS FIGHT FOR THIS LOVE FOLLOWIED MY HUMMINGBIRD* SLAY US QUEEEEEEEEEEEN.
wtf, shes a nobody in the US, i bet shes sleeping with Simon, she sure has him under some kinda spell smh
EWwww…(Still dont know anything besides this girl, I guess that proves her relevancy)…I guess she’s the Jennifer Lopez of the X-Factor??
I’d prefer Rihanna! Rih-rih got offered but denied due to touring! I’d rather see her on there!! At least Rihanna is relevant!
UGHHHH JUST WHEN I THOUGHT SIMON COULDN’T LOWER HIMSELF ANYMORE, CHERYL COLE MUST HAVE A PU**Y MADE OF SWAROSKI CRYSTALS
WOW what a stupid choice, simoin finally did what he wanted to,hopE cheryl FLOPS in US cuz she aint talented at ALL

ARYO YOU WILL NOT COME FOR CHERYL WITH YOUR FAV BEING NICOLE.
NICOLE HAS SHIFTED LESS THAN 50K ALBUMS IN A MONTH OR SO
CHERYL SHITS ON HER IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE.
YOU WILL DEAL.
SIMON WAS UNKNOWN WHEN HE BEGUN AMERICAN IDOL IN THE US BUT SOON BECAME GLOBAL. CHERYL WILL FOLLOW SUIT
PERRYLICIOUS DON’T COME FOR CHERYL WITH KATY PERRY AS YOUR AVATAR. I’D RATHER HEAR CHERYL MIME THAN SING LIKE A CONSTIPATED CAT #OOOP YEAAAAAHHH I WENT THERE, U MAD? LOOOOL
who wants a british white girl pop singer/dancer judging a now American singing competition? Certainly not me, one Brit is enuff Simon!
cheryl cole? might as well get f***** Melody Thorton or Kelis becuz no one GIVES a damn about her
Lol can’t wait till Americans hear her singing. Check out her popstars the rivals audition on YouTube and they will be pissin themselves.. Simon must have had to really convince them because it’s took bloody ages. And desperate chez has clung on to dear life 4 this spot. Just glad shes in another country when UK version will b on because one more series of watching the girl call peoples talent and be “the brat” Simon says she is would have killed me off. Good luck Cheryl and America, your welcome 2 her
Oh and how the media / public are so easyto forget a little miss cole fact that she has Been convicted for RACIAl ASSAULT makes me laugh. Oh how the world is…
Snoozefest!!
I guess the people @ The voice are somewhere having a big laugh!
Bad move Cowell!!!
@JESS
SINGING??? You mean lip syncing. Now America will start comparing her to Britney Spears, haha!
Well I don’t know about Cole but they could have done worse and had that crack head lesbo Whitney Houston on the show acting the fool like she was doing at the Prince concert the other day.
At least Mariah Carey will be there to judge the judges.
yay..can’t wait to see cheryl on there..Me and my girl going on vacation…Travelocity giving away $1000 Giftcards for anywhere in US..just for giving them your email..haha..My whole fam got 1 http://goo.gl/8IQWl
Who? Why not somebody we know?
Ermmm has she got any talent at all? or just overated?
She has no talent and cannot sing live at all, Cowell is a joke and should be promoting his own acts like Leona and Alexandra who can sing.Do not forget that Cheryl beat up Sophie and did not even offer an apology.Cheryl remains a talentless racist.

HEAVY ASS F****** ACCENT AT THAT
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BREEZY.
Cheryl cole will take america by storm!!! I can see her face being everywhere.. Shes so damn hot
To be fair, as much as the USA doesn’t know anything about, I think they’ll fall for her anyway. She’s a good looking girl with charisma, and good chemistry with Simon. So basically, she’s good television.
I just can’t wait to watch this show!
Yeahhhhh! 😀 finallyyy! I knew it she will be take to be judge next of Simon from the beginning… You cant deal with Simon, he’s the boss! And this show going to be the biggest you ever seen on television! Everyones going to fall in love with Cheryl because she is so sweet, I meen she’s like an angel on earth ! The most beautiful girl in the world. Im a Canadian, but I follow Xfactor uk because of her and Simon.. They are so funny together.. So with Cheryl, Simon, Paula Abdul and L.A Reid.. The show gonna be Crazieee !!

not a fan of ms.tweedy but jlo cant sing to save her life either.
also she wasn’t convicted or found guilty of RACIALLY aggravated assault she was found guilty and covicted of an alternative charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. false claims even on a blog could need to legal cases, i suggest you check your information before hand
lol why she was a crap judge on the British one
Cheryl has been seen or heard talking for months. She’ll probably present in the US with a more refined accent.
Cheryl needs to make this work because i don’t think the UK will have her back. Also, sh’d better be careful. The Americans will cuss her talented ass when she tries to give them tips
I think the X-Factor will fail in the U.S. There are way too many singing shows over here. AI has their following, The Voice now has a following…I just don’t think there is anymore room for another talent show.
The idea of her sitting on an American panel, pretending to care about actually finding a star is a complete joke when everyone knows she has only taken the gig to launch HERSELF in America. She has no right to be there telling Americans that they are or aren’t talented when she herself is a fu**ing nobody over there.
I actually like her a lot as a judge on X Factor and as a musical artist.. I think this will spring her into more stardom here in the U.S..
oh pls get off ur high horse u yankees, what was exactly britney’s talent when u made her the most powerful celeb in 2001 or was it 2002
@ BOPOP
“also she wasn’t convicted or found guilty of RACIALLY aggravated assault she was found guilty and covicted of an alternative charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm”
Ah right. That’s okay then.
Finally the wait is over, can’t wait to see her on xfactor us, should be interesting to watch her get experienced with the americans , wish her good luck 🙂
Poor American’s it bad enough we have to put up with her
This is the girl who hates to sing live, she records vocals then has them edited then calls it a live performance. No I’ not a hater I just don’t like laziness you want to be a pop singer but you don’t sing live for your fans who pay money to see you sing live. Lie about singing live (on X factor twice) when you can hear it’s not live, your just singing over prerecorded vocals. Then you judged other singers who sing live every night.

A jury has found Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Tweedy guilty of assaulting a nightclub worker.The pop star has been sentenced to complete 120 hours of unpaid community service and must also pay her victim £500 compensation.
Tweedy was additionally ordered to pay £3,000 of prosecution costs.
The singer had denied attacking toilet attendant Sophie Amogbokpa, saying she only punched her in self-defence.
The jury had reached a unanimous verdict that the 20-year-old, from Heaton in Newcastle, was not guilty of a racially aggravated assault occasioning actual bodily harm. But they found her guilty of an alternative charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
The charges against Tweedy stemmed from an incident at the Drink nightclub in Guildford, Surrey, on 11 January. he judge at Kingston Crown Court told the jury there was no question that 39-year-old Mrs Amogbokpa had been injured in the incident but they had to decide whether the singer had acted in self-defence.
Tweedy had denied both charges against her. Judge Richard Haworth told the jury he would accept a majority verdict and the jurors decided by 11 to one that Tweedy was guilty.
Sentencing Tweedy, he criticised her for showing no remorse over the attack.
He said: “This was an unpleasant piece of drunken violence which caused Sophie Amogbokpa pain and suffering.
@beyonslay

,and u better go and support ya gurl beyonic by buying rtw as many times as u can! lol
I don’t understand why they couldn’t get someone we know that has or had success here in the us. She only trying to launch her singing career here. Who is she to judge us here? Thought this was going to be the American version? This sucks. They can keep it.
@ARYO CHILE DO NOT EVEN TRY TO COME FOR BEYONCE LOOOOOOOOOOL! SERIOUSLY BEYONCE > NICOLE FORREAL. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Ok, Cheryl isn’t the most perfect singer, but sorry she can sing.. also, what the most important in the X Factor it’s her ability to judge people and to find the special one*, not on how she can sing.. I meen, paula abdul, jennifer lopez or many others have not a super phenomenal voice.. but they can sing, and they do entertainement and are great performer.
Cheryl Cole is the best judge we could’nt find, because when she judge on X Factor for 3 years in uk, she always choose very particular and special people, and she win on every bet she make.. she has talent to find the future star, and sorry to remind y’all about this, but this is what X Factor Usa is about!!!! ”” 5 MILLIONS $ contract”” , this is a big amount of money hehe!! And Cheryl going to find the ”one” , and when she finds it, she gonna do her best to protect the singer and to make him or her doing her best.. that’s what the show about. I don’t know if you know about Alexandra Birke or Cher Loyld?? yep Cheryl find her.. and Cher Loyld is also coming to America.. 17 years old and raps like Nicki Minaj, Jay-z and more interest by her..
Cheryl Cole feels emotions when people sing with the heart and she can recognize talent when most of all doesn’t seen it. She is a good judge and nevermind if she’s not the most famous singer in the world.. who cares!! She has many others qualities.. <3
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Wake me up when she gets her white british ass back on a plane back to England or wherever the fukk she from….
