Cheryl Cole to Have Elocution Lessons?

Posted by Adam

Cheryl ColeCheryl Cole‘s Geordie accent could jeopardize her plans to crack America.

The Girls Aloud singer has been lined up by Simon Cowell to front a US version of his UK TV talent show X Factor.

But American TV chiefs can’t understand her!

“They were bowled over by Cheryl and thought she was sassy, smart, charismatic and beautiful,” a source told the UK’s Daily Mirror newspaper.

“There was just one small problem — they couldn’t make head nor tail of her Geordie accent.

“She was at her best at the weekend — witty, empathetic and really encouraging to some of the acts.

“But while her accent isn’t that thick, the Americans really seemed to struggle with it.

“Simon jokingly offered to pay for elocution lessons for her but, seriously, that may be the route she has to take if she is really considering breaking into television over there.”

    I cannot see what the fuss is about Cheryl Cole’s Geordie accent. I had been in the US only a few weeks when I obtained a job as a receptionist at a University, there was no problem at all about my Geordie Accent, people liked it. On the other hand I must point out that the Americans tended to have problems with the Cockney accent. However, Americans are extremely insular and haven’t the sense to realise that not everybody in the whole world speaks American – who would want to!! Keep your accent Cheryl, they are just jealous.

    i dont know why cheryl is so angry about getting fat everyone gets fat when they are pregnant and simn should not stop her from getting preganant as it is her life and if she wants to have a family with Ashley then no-one asked Simon Cowell even if he is the most talented. Ashley also shouldnt be getting cold and jelous as he was the one eho cheated on the hairdresser in January and Cheryl forgave him as she is the best an da loyal wife. Ashley you shouldnt its not as if Cheryl would do anything with Simon and if Cheryl dosent do any of that stuff with you then be scared what she is going to do with Simon then you should feel cold and jelous as cheryls loves you is she no allowedto be friends with her collegue who happens to be the bugest in the music industry. If you feel that way then you sholdnt be married to her because then she deserves better then you.
