Shaw slams 'poor' Cole performance

Jamie Shaw has criticised Cheryl Cole's performance of her debut solo single on The X Factor.

The former One True Voice singer told The Sun that Cole appeared to struggle with the live rendition of 'Fight For This Love'.

Shaw said: "I thought Cheryl's performance was poor. She looked really nervous and lost on that big stage. With the higher notes, she strained a bit and you could tell that in her face.

"There was no oomph in her performance. It was quite flat. She has a brilliant recording voice, but live it really isn't working."

One True Voice were made up of the male winners of 2002's Popstars: The Rivals but lost out to the female victors Girls Aloud, who included Cole, in the battle for that year's Christmas number one.

Shaw's former One True Voice bandmate Daniel Pearce progressed to the Boot Camp phase of this year's X Factor but did not make it to the live knockout rounds.
