Serial lip-syncer Cheryl Cole attempted to honour the Queen of England tonight by ditching her favourite past-time and singing live.
Yet, as her performance of ‘Need You Now’ with Gary Barlow proved, switching on her mic only highlights her ample inadequacies.
See what we mean below…
Insulting.
Cole, like the Rihanna’s of the world, reinforce all that is wrong with today’s music industry. Yes, the “freedom” embedded in music should be celebrated. Yet, it sadly also births a level of subjectivity which it almost makes it OK to suck as long as you have a compelling enough selling point (i.e. wig colour, fashion game).
Look at it this way, if an accountant must know how to add and a footballer must know how to kick a ball, surely a singer should be able to s-i-n-g?!

If you watched any of those and think she is not a GREAT singer than ur wrong!
yes she is beautiful, but no one needs to listen to her to know dat she can’t sing, if she was black she would not even be talked about…lots of talentless whities are making money while real artists are struggling…smh, go get married to another athlete pls
I don’t think that race has anything to do with it.
Race actually does have something to do with it. Let’s just be honest. If she was any other race, she wouldn’t even be talked about.
@TheOuyonB please get a life and stop looking for racism in everything… Cheryl Cole is famous for being in a good girlgroup (just like Keisha from the Sugababes who is BLACK) the only reason Cheryl is more famous as a celeb is because she got cheated on by her husband and rode the sympathy wave.
sorry but he’s right race has something to do with that even here in france you have beautiful black woman with great voice but they are not signed because you have b****** like keri hilson who r white and will appeal the white public so let’s be real that’s the reality look at her pathetic can you imagine the number of real talented girl who are struggling because a b**** like that took a real place?
Well I couldn’t agree more!
Shes toooooo much of a sham for me!
Utter wackness she makes a mockery of the singing profession….
Wow
I’m sorry, when does she lip-synch exactly ?
SHE SOUNDED NOT SO HOT IN THE BEGINNING BUT TOWARDS THE END SHE HELD HER OWN
SHE WAS AVERAGE TOWARDS THE END NOT BAD BUT NOT GOOD EITHER
i agree…it wasnt terrible but it waste great….but i never heard of her i was waiting for the cracked notes…i just noticed the guy had to come down so she could stay in her range..
Just when i thought no-one could be worse than Rihanna. Wow! The studio really does wonders!!!! She must spend an eternity recording one song.
This just confirms that there is no-way on (this) earth that Cheryl sang live on The Voice like her people would like us to believe. Although stiff, she pranced, jumped and swayed while maintained a (still rubbish but) steady vocal. She was so shaky here that i’m surprised that people didn’t think there was an earthquake! I listened to it again to judge if i was being harsh…. i wasn’t
Who is she again? I don’t understand why she is constantly dissed on this site when her only presence is in the UK. Here in the USA she is unknown. I am not even sure if her albums get released here. At least Rihanna is a global artist with name recognition world wide.
Um… isn’t this a UK site?
This is a UK site. I lurk here often and have to remind myself while I’m reading where the info comes from.
A lady antebellum song! Sadly cheryls voice is weak… but she did look beautiful
If she get’s any worse, she will be able to Duet with Kelly rowland
uhhh u tried it and sadly u failed – ms kelly aint worried so fall back!
You guys are so jaded and biased, it’s not even funny anymore.
No, we just have good hearing.
Yeah, you’re all so perfectly tuned.
It wasn’t that terrible, not great but not as bad as it is being described.
Like i said above… good hearing
FLOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why lie now you know full well that was terrible don’t try & justify that don’t know how anyone could call that a ‘singer’ we can’t deny her beauty but she is not a model so why does everyone always add that in their critic we all know her voice is very weak & not worthy of such a important event
& shame on you gary barlow for picking her to perform with you when there are many female vocalists to choose from with better voices and you choose that smh
She was GOD AWFUL!!!!!!!! Beautiful girl, horrible voice. The end. And she definitely massacred this song. This is one of my favs and she ruined it. She definitely won’t be winning ANY Grammys .
She sounded horribel period.
I really don’t know much about her but i like her voice. I don’t think all artist have to be beyonce’s . I like her song love killer and telescope. I youtube some of her songs singing live and it sounded like her cd, but like i said I don’t know that much about her career. I will say that girls aloud were horrible.
Sorry but she is truly a pathetic singer, she looked like she was about to s*** herself straining to produce those quiet, flat s***** notes…
Sad that Garry Barlow would even have her up there performing on a historic occasion and in front of the Royal Family when she can’t even sound “ok” singing the most basic of songs.
Macca, Cliff Richard, JLS and half of the performers sounded really bad, the fact you’re focusing just on her says more about you than about her.
If you aren’t a Lara Fabian fan your opinion is invalid.
So? she has had great performances like Set The Fire to the 3rd bar and some of her performances on tour… plus she has always sounded great with Girls Aloud.
I’m going to have the same position as you and unlike you sing like Pastora Soler or Lara Fabian I won’t give a s***.
Omg that performance gave me nothing…. She is boring af, basically just talking into the mic lol.
So embarassing. Why do you even post about her, she’s like irrelevant.
The worst part is how pleased she looks with herself after yak yodeling. She was drowned out by the backup singers (JLo style) once the song progressed beyond the first chorus. I’m not hugely familiar with her (I’m American) all I know is she sings and was a judge on x-factor (which I don’t watch).
Can she dance? Usually that tends to make up the difference for people like JLo or Ciara. Is there some other quality to her other than having a pretty face and being famous???
before hearing the video, i thought TGF was again just being mean to Cheryl but listening to the first few seconds of the video, seems like TGF is right. kinda disappointed. i thought the song was just too low for Cheryl but when the chorus kicked in, she still had a hard time singing it. Perhaps she’s stressed, have problems. i don’t know.
To be honest, if you listen to the original the song isn’t too low, she just cant sing. Many a artist have sung this at there pitch, she just doesn’t have one
She’s another case of “pretty girl – can’t sing – let’s award her a lucrative singing career nevertheless”.
Truly a pathetic effort. And that song isn’t even that difficult, if you have even an ounce of a singing voice in you. A good comparison from the same evening was Jessie J (not a fan at all) – there’s someone with a voice (even though she often tries WAY too hard, it seems).
Well she just ear r**** me with that performance…..
OMFG HOR-RI-BLE
Her singing sounded like a long drawn out fart here, no disrespect
Lol! That’s WORSE than Riri!
