Cheryl 'nervous' before X Factor show

Published Friday, 16 October 2009

Cheryl Cole will have no family or friends in the audience when she performs her new song on the X Factor, as they would make her feel more nervous.

Viewers will see the Girls Aloud singer performing her debut solo single Fight For This Love on the show this weekend.

But she said she would feel more scared if her bandmates went to support her.

Speaking to GMTV, Cole said: "The girls are itching to come down to support me when I perform but I kind of don't want them to - because it is scarier."

Asked if husband Ashley or her mother would be in the studio, Cole said: "If my family are sat in the crowd... it depends which members of my family are in the crowd - some of them make me feel like 'Yeah I'm ready', and some make me feel 'Oh God no - Dad's in the crowd' so no, no family or friends."

Cole said nerves were gripping the talent show.

She said: "There are just nerves in the building - the contestants are giving off nervous energy, their family and friends are giving off nervous energy, and on top of that I'm going to go out and sing, and on top of that Whitney Houston is going to also sing too!"

The X Factor is on UTV on Saturday at 8pm. The result show, including performances by Whitney Houston and Cheryl Cole, is screened on Sunday at 7.45pm.

HOW CAN CHERYL SIT AND JUDGE PARTICIPANTS IN THE SHOW AS THEY PERFORM A NEW SONG WEEKLY, AND PRESENT CRITICISMS ON THEIR PERFORMANCES, WHEN SHE WHO IS A PROFESSIONAL PERFORMER HAD A MASSIVE BACKING AND SOUND SUPPORTING TAPES THAT IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS ALLOWED CHERYL TO MIME THE BULK OF THE SHOW AS HAS BEEN ALLEGED IN ONE OF THE PUBLISHED PAPERS SOLD IN THE UK. ALSO, IF THE JUDGES ARE SO CONCERNED BY THE PUBLIC VOTE THAT IS MAKING A MOCKERY OF THE PARTICIPANTS THAT CAN PERFORM, WHY IS IT BEING ALLOWED. IS IT BECAUSE A REVENUE IS COMING OFF THE CALLS BY THE VOTERS AND THIS OFFSETS THE COSTS OF THE SHOW IN SOMEWAY. I HAVE WATCHED THE SHOWS TO DATE BUT WITH THE JUDGES BECOMING PAROCHIAL REGARDLESS OF THE QUALITY IT IS RUINING THE VERY PURPOSE OF THE SHOWS FOUNDATIONS SO ITS TIME TO SWITCH OFF. DAR
