Anyone for the new Cheryl Cole video?
Published Friday, Nov 27 2009, 16:50 GMT | By David Balls | 56 comments
"Pretty" "damn" and "amazing" are probably the three words that best describe Cheryl Cole's solo career thus far. Her single 'Fight For This Love' and album both stormed straight to the top of the charts and her latest video proves there's no stopping our Chezza just yet.
Joined by Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am for this glitzy split-screen affair, Cheryl looks effortlessly classy and glam as she transforms into an Egyptian goddess and - with more success than a certain Mrs. B back in 2001 - shows how to wear a blonde wig without looking like you're on a dirty weekend in the Toon. Perfectly complimenting the song itself, this super-glossy clip also suggests that Cole has a firm eye on global stardom over the next year.

I've been bored silly with Cheryl 'Homogenised' Cole's safe solo efforts thus far - but this is absolutely stunning. Breath-taking, in fact. Kinda like what I'd imagine Bjork would produce, if she woke up and came over 'all pop' one morning. Amazing. Properly amazing. I'll buy this!

Whilst I found some redeeming factors with 'Fight for this Love' I have been unable to do so with this effort. The GA fans will probably hate it and rightly so, but unfortunately the tweens who worship at the altar X-Factor will buy it in their droves. Obviously some DJ is gonna remix the hell out of it and it will be played ad-nauseum in the club scene, so there will be no escaping it. Oh the joy.

Ha ha! Good on the UK for trying to produce a pop star that they THINK might have international success. Sorry folks. Not going to happen. Cheryl won't make it internationally. She is a total bore. The only reason she is so famous in the UK is because their aren't any other pop stars around over there. If the UK produced a pop star with a voice, that's beautiful, can dance and has personality and doesn't ride their husband's infidelity to the ends of the earth, then you guys MIGHT can redeem yourselves for producing this crap! Waiting for Nadine Coyle!

Gosh she is so retarded. I'm sorry but she won't have success in the U.S. that's for sure. I don't know about the rest of the world but if Leona is struggling with her second album over here (and she's actually beautiful and can sing) then Cheryl Cole most certainly won't make it over here. We will take Susan Boyle. You guys can keep Cheryl.

3 words to describe this song 'IT IS RUBBISH'. Cheryl is much better at being a judge/ mentor on the x factor than being a solo artist. In my opinion Cheryl should hire either Kimberly Walsh's or SuBo's vocal coach if she wants to be a sucess as a solo artist.

Well, better song and video, IMO, than her first single. I hope she does well and it would be nice if it was released in Canada. :)

Love the track, love the video. I've said time and again people seem to dislike a lot of Cheryl's solo stuff becuase they expect it to be more Girls Aloud than it is. She sings lower and there's a whole different emphasis to the music. I like the fact that she's not just riding on the coattails of GA stuff by copying it. As for 'not being deliberately negative' Padge, it's so nice you go on to call her Chavyl. Not negative at all, is it?

Goodness, how terrible. Not that I liked the first single but this is like some Dannii Minogue experimental b-side/album track

This song sounds like a track that has been made specifically to get a bizarre remix for dancefloors and release on dance compilation albums...why she didn't release Parachutes I have no idea.

Helen, people aren't being deliberately negative, it's just the song is so poor, and that coupled with Chavyl's complete lack of singing ability leaves little to be positive about! She should count herself lucky she has her looks and the X-Factor to rely on

Love Cheryl and loved Fight For This Love, but this is disappointing. I don;t mind the video, but the song is surprisingly boring. There are far better songs on her album - why did she chose this one as her 2nd single?! Maybe with will.i.am tagged on to it, she's hoping to take it to the US??

3 words to describe this song ' IT IS RUBBISH' I think Cheryl needs to improve her vocal ability by either hiring either Kimberly Walsh's or SuBo's vocal coach. Cheryl should just stick to being a judge/ mentor on the x factor because lets face it she is a brunette barbie doll. However Cheryl is a better judge than Sharon Osbourne who is a bitter/ hypocritical manufactured barbie doll.
