Cheryl Cole - US X Factor

Hmm, not really sure what to make of the news that Cheryl Cole has been confirmed as a judge on the US version of the X Factor.

First of all, I think Cheryl Cole is lovely and really captured the heart of the nation.

I am sure she will do great in America as she truly is beautiful, diplomatic and can spot talent. I just hope they can understand her Geordie accent as I know that I struggle with it sometimes.

I genuinely believe she knew that she was going to be a judge on the show months ago. The fact that she put Cher Lloyd and Katie Waissel through on the UK version last year can only be the result of her mind being elsewhere... On the dollar signs connected with the US show. I can't think of any other reason why those two were put through!?!

At least we still have Dannii. She certainly knows talent and is not afraid to speak her mind about the contestants...or Simon. Perhaps that's why she wasn't invited to the US!?! She doesn't pander to the puppet master.

From a different perspective, I'm a little miffed that BOTH Cheryl and Simon are leaving us Brits for the US. I doubt Cheryl will want to carry on over here once she has a taste of America's good stuff. If we weren't being left with Louis Walsh I wouldn't mind so much...

Still, Michael McIntyre is proving to be a great judge on Britain's Got Talent so perhaps a fresh panel of judges on X Factor will also prove to be a success.

P.s. The jury's still out on The Hoff...
