Cheryl Cole - "A Million Lights" Era

[EIGHT]

I've been meaning to make this for a while, but Cheryl started work on her 3rd album back in Febuary.

They set up submission for writers and producers and she's been working in LA on the album.

This will also serve as the bridgegap from 3W+MLR+New Material for the states. Presumably the UK will get extra tracks on it to suffice for what she adds from 3W and MLR.

A Rihanna duet was confirmed but there has been no news on it yet. Most say it will be her lead US single,.

[Hefty Hanna]

She should just start by releasing 'Fight For This Love' here. Even as just a "buzz" single. The song is too good.

[Deleted]

Sooooooooo........ now that she's off X-Factor, did we just lose any chances we had of a US debut?

And also, why no 3rd single from MLR? I know The Flood flopped but the album didnt do that terribly did it?

[Glove Slap]

The album sold over 400k in the uk which is great considering it only produced one big hit. Tangled Up and Chemistry only sold a bit more and they had multiple hits.

I will.i.am still managing her then? ???

[Snowbeast]

I think Avril worked on a song for it! :)

[HEADOFTHEPACK]

^vile.

If I were her, I'd stick with it; even prior to landing the X Factor job, she had all of these celebrities guffawing about her in the press, so it's not as if all hopes are dashed.

[Hefty Hanna]

She should still go for a US career. She can do it. Her music isn't far off or anything from what's popular here. A few well-crafted pop songs and Chezza has a big US career on her hands. I love the Girls and everything...but Nadine obviously wants to go her own way and Nicola is releasing her own album. Now is not the time for a reunion.

[Deleted]

Any word on what may be going on with this project? I'm still in X-Factor denial.

[Hefty Hanna]

She made her firs public appearance since the show at the U.S. embassy the other day. Whether or not that means new music and an American debut, I'm not sure. I would put my money on a debut stateside next album.

[Deleted]

Just listened to the full version of Just Live. Should have been on the last album.

Simon rival's bid to steal Cheryl for American Idol

CHERYL Cole is taking dramatic revenge on her ex-boss Simon Cowell by striking a deal with his bitter arch-rival.

Cheryl, 27, is ready to let Spice Girl svengali Simon Fuller, 51, relaunch her career in the States.

And a prestigious role on Fuller's hit American Idol TV show is even on the cards. Friends say Cheryl is "thrilled" and "really excited" by the music supremo's plan, which includes an offer to mastermind her solo pop career.

Insiders claim that Fuller, who manages racing driver Lewis Hamilton, soccer ace David Beckham and tennis star Andy Murray, is desperate to succeed where Cowell failed by turning Cheryl into a US megastar.

Cowell, 51, quit as a judge on American Idol last year to launch X Factor in the States - which saw the pair's rivalry hit new heights.



Last night Cowell was said to be stunned by his business rival's move.

Cheryl, still reeling from her shock US X Factor exit, will now fly back to the States and sit down with Pop Idol creator Fuller to thrash out a pounds 5million contract.

Fuller, worth pounds 375million in the latest rich list, is currently the toast of the US after the latest series of American Idol scored a 21 per cent rating increase. Some TV insiders had predicted the show might struggle without Cowell but instead viewing figures have rocketed.

Fuller's new-look judging panel of singer Jennifer Lopez, 41, Aerosmith rocker Steve Tyler, 63, and music producer Randy Jackson, 54, has been hailed a triumph.

Cowell, with an estimated pounds 350million fortune, has further angered Cheryl by saying replacing her with Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger, 32, was "no big deal".

The Girls Aloud singer has told pals she believes she has found the right man to help her get her own back and crack America.

Strong "Fuller's told Cheryl he believes Simon Cowell has screwed up her career in the States," revealed a pal.

"He has already given her his ideas on how Cheryl's career in the States can take off. There's even the chance of a role on the next American Idol.

"The truth is he's been looking for an opportunity to manage Cheryl for sometime now.

"He's just signed Lewis Hamilton and has a strong relationship with David Beckham. Cheryl will be the icing on the cake." Fuller first contacted Cheryl 10 days ago with an offer to lift her out of her career gloom. The pair have had several subsequent conversations and have agreed to meet in the next few weeks.

Thanks for the articles.

Wish we could have some real info on her new album from some producers or Cheryl herself.

[Hefty Hanna]

Cheryl is still in LA. She was seen leaving the recording studio a few days ago and worked on a track last week with will.i.am and Far East Movement.

[WTF]

Chery has reportedly re-recorded Cher Lloyd duet with Will.I.Am (which he blocked from her and Syco after the US show fiasco). Apparently, it is even being considered as her first single.

[Glove Slap]

Is she releasing an album this year?

[Deleted]

Apparently she's been offered a part in What To Expect When You're Expecting, which stars Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Lopez. She's also in talks to guest star in episodes of How I Met Your Mother and Glee.

[Active Aggressive]

Girls Aloud are pretty much terrible but I heard the 3 Words album over lunch while I was eating at a pub in Jersey. Was shocked at how good it was. I had to actually Shazam Parachute and then I recognized her and realized it was the album when I also heard Fight For This Love. I am interested in her having an American career now and fully support the idea.

[ïʼnčrεdiвl]

Tangled Up, Chemistry and Out Of Control are all better than 3 Words.
Waiting for anything new from them, period! :(

Twitter:

I'm gonna have to get some patience.. This is hard.. I'm too frustrated with excitement for you to hear my new music.. I could pop!!

PLEEAAASSSEEEE be a US release in the works!

[Deleted]

UGH. I like Cheryl but I want new Girls Aloud already! :(

[Ling-Ling]

Ugh, her solo music is awful! Nadine and Nicola aren't amazing either. They need to come off of it and just get back together.

[bryce]

Cheryl Cole > Girls Aloud...but I'm only a Canadian what do I know

[Glove Slap]

I think I'm kinda interested in another solo Cheryl album than a GA one. Whatever people had as GA in their minds is gone. Group dynamics always change when one of them emerges as the star.

[Deleted]

I want another album from her too, and I want it to be released here.

But looking back, I am glad she didn't get the XFactor job. It hasn't been nearly as popular or had as much effect as the UK version has. Trying to launch a US career through it could have just been a waste.

[Hefty Hanna]

Dear Cheryl,

Stop whoring out make-up and get back to work on that debut U.S. album.

Love, me

Cheryl Cole will not return to 'X Factor', says will.i.am

Cheryl Cole will not return to Simon Cowell's X Factor this year, according to her US manager will.i.am.

The Black Eyed Peas rapper believes that the former talent show judge, who quit the UK version last year, will eventually front her own format.

"Cheryl won't do X Factor," he told The Mirror. "Why does she need it? Why are you going to make someone else rich? Cheryl needs her own show."

Bemoaning her controversial axe from The X Factor USA, will.i.am said: "Cheryl Cole was current on X Factor. She was the only one on the panel with musical experience of what it feels like to go through that process.

"That's how she made it into the industry, by doing Popstars. Paula Abdul (a fellow judge) was an artist – but she wasn't current at the time."

Simon Cowell was quoted as saying earlier this week that Cole "misses" The X Factor and can "100%" rejoin the panel later this year.

Meanwhile, will.i.am revealed that he is planning a solo comeback for the 'Fight For This Love' singer, who released 3 Words in 2009 and Messy Little Raindrops in 2010.

"Cheryl's the best," he added. "I was just hanging out with her on Tuesday, listening to her new stuff and getting her feedback on things and she has some really great tunes.

"The Cheryl that we know now is different from the one we're going to know ten years from now. It was ten years ago that me and the Black Eyes Peas wrote 'Where is The Love?'

"I'm planning a future for Cheryl in that way. Madonna is Madonna. You don't want Cheryl to be Madonna, you want Cheryl to be Cheryl."

SO MUCH NICOLE SHADE I'M GOING TO NEED A VITAMIN D SUPPLEMENT.

[Hefty Hanna]

RUMORS:

• The first single is called 'Call My Name' and is produced by Alex Da Kid.
  
• ...or it's a different song featuring will.i.am and produced by Calvin Harris
  
• She recorded a Lana Del Ray leftover (an urban mid-tempo)
  
• She has a song on her album called 'Screw You'
  

...and it's confirmed that she and Jim Beanz have a record called 'This Is War'.
