Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole is being criticised for preparing to mime her X factor performance of “Fight For This Love” in a pre recorded performance for Sunday’s show. Last Sunday fans were angry after previous X Factor winner Alexandra Burke returned and mimed parts of her debut single “Bad boys”
Last year Cheryl and other members of Girls Aloud performed their number 1 single “The Promise”, but Cheryl was criticised for her poor vocals. A source told the Daily Mail, “The girls did not have a huge amount of time to rehearse, and while they looked beautiful in 1950s-style gold gowns, their vocals were terrible”
“We even had to have a sound engineer in the director’s gallery backstage standing over the controls trying to make them sound better, but to no avail.
“Cheryl is the break-out 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.”
An X Factor spokesperson confirmed, “Cheryl will be recording her music performance earlier in the day with a live studio audience to ensure she can fully continue with her judging commitments on The X Factor later that evening.”
It’s believed Cole will not mime the entire song but rather sing parts live and others over a backing track much like fans of the show suggest Alexandra Burke did during her performance on Sunday.
