Cheryl should be replaced because Americans can not understand her strong Geordie accent. Hope that Steve Jones can be understood

People ARE talking about that accent; it's just sounds horrible ... Not like most Brits who are successful over here.

I love listening to British people speak, but that BEAUTIFUL woman's accent is SO, not beautiful. Sorry.

Nees some classes or something to work on that before coming back over here taking on a SPEAKING job.

No surprise. Probably caused by problems with the unstable Paula Abdul.

If people can understand Randy Jackson's absurd hip hop lingo on American Idol, I doubt they'd have trouble with Cheryl Cole's accent.

She really wanted to make a splash in Hollywood. What a mess. She is a lesser version of Victoria Beckham who didn't do as well as expected. I feel bad for her. The Geordie accent could work or be a complete disaster. I think the producers were afraid of the latter scenario.

That's too bad. While in the UK this past year I watched X Factor UK and fell in love with Cheryl Cole. Not her music, but her look and personality. If it's true that there was an issue between her and Paula, get rid of Paula. Who thought it was a good idea to allow Paula to be a mentor after it was proven she hit on a former Idol contestant during the season?

She's so beautiful, but that accent ... where exactly is she from?
Michael Cain once tried to explain the various English accents.
Details, any of you Brits?????

It would be hard to listen to that for any longer than a couple of minutes.
Sorry.

It's the accent heard in Tyneside, which is in the North East of England. It's referred to as a Geordie accent. Not sure why you find it hard to listen to. It's quite lovely to my ears.

I can barely understand her & I love English accents.

Is Tyneside like an URBAN area in America?

Don't know, just askin.'

Never been up to northern England but I love the southern part and maybe someday, I will be able to visit there too. But every country has differend accents, in differend parts of their country.

For some reason, I'm not surprised. This was proabably a set up anyway.

Is american Idol, america's got talent, and Xfactor, going out of their way to disrespect R+B music, I checked out 2 los angeles auditions they were a complete joke, the contest was slanted torward the teen audience and as far as talent was concerned the black male performers were a insult to black music, were they told to select poor black singers so they could easily get rid of them, there was a prince wanna be, who did more screaming than singing, and looked more like a male stripper, than a singer, the other one looked like he just got off the bus in van nuys, it was pathetic, I hope that the X factor franchise cleans up its act or I would suggest to african americans to reject the X factor and its disrespectful position it has taken toward "american black music"

The shallow aspect of the entire prospect of being judged before even being considered by a record label pollutes the whole creative process, this just gives the label a narrow view of the artist, because their determination is skewed by the bias or judgment of an unqualified third party, thereby, limiting the labels access to a great performer or even a superstar!!

WHEN WILL WE TAKE OUR MUSIC BACK FROM THE FAKERS AND POSERS THAT TRY TO BE THE GATEKEEPERS OF THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY, THE AI, AGT, XFACTOR FRANCHISE HAS TRIED TO CORNER THE MARKET, AND DICTATE WHO IS ALLOWED IN AND WHO IS KEPT OUT, THE UNFAIR BIAS IS AS CLEAR AS DAY, WHEN ALL OF THE WINNERS, DESPITE THE CLAIM THAT THE CONTEST IS OPEN TO EVERYONE, NEVERTHELESS, LAST YEARS WINNER OF AGT WAS A SUB-STANDARD PERFORMER, AND NOW THE TWO FINALISTS FOR AI ARE INEXPERIENCED COUNTRY SINGERS, THAT CATERS TO A SELECT AUDIENCE, AND LEAVES THE MAJORITY OF MUSIC FANS WONDERING WHEN THEIR MUSIC WILL BE REPRESENTED, SUCH AS BLACK R+B MUSIC WITH SUCH GREAT PERFORMERS LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON, MARVIN GAYE, JACKIE WILSON, AND LUTHER VANDROSS AND MANY OTHERS, WHO'S EFFORTS MADE POPULAR MUSIC WHAT IT IS TODAY, WE MUST INSIST THAT ALL GENRES OF MUSIC BE REPRESENTED, AND NO ONE SPECIFIC AGE GROUP DOMINATE THE PROCESS. UNLESS THE PROCESS IS TRULY FAIR AND RESPECTFUL OF THE LEGACY'S OF ALL GENRES OF MUSIC, THEN PEOPLE SHOULD LOOK ELSEWHERE, INSTEAD OF THE PROPPED UP MILLION DOLLAR KARAOKE CONTESTS

Everybody started unexperienced, not just those kids. If you are so unhappy my dear, maybe you should try out for it too. But you have to have a singing voice to participate. Ranting does not help,
