Jay-Z wants to help Cheryl Cole
The rapper-and-businessman – who owns music management company Roc Nation and is co-owner of Roc-A-Fella Records - has offered to assist the ‘Fight for This Love’ singer launch her solo career overseas after seeing how successful she has become in Britain. He said: “I keep a close eye on the music industry throughout the world and I know how hot Cheryl is in the UK.
“The US marker is the toughest one to break into, but once you do it is by far the most lucrative. I think Cheryl has that talent to do it. There is nobody in the US like her right now and I would be very interested in helping her break the US market this year.”
The 40-year-old musician was first tipped off about the 26-year-old Girls Aloud singer – who worked with Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am on her album ‘3 Words’ - after his pop star wife Beyonce Knowles watched her sing live.
He explained: “Beyonce has seen her perform and she told me how impressed she was. I checked her out and I was impressed as well.”

An international smash ? ugh, have I missed something ?
Just an opinion but I don't think she has the material to make it anywhere outside of UK.

I nearly fell out when I saw this topic!
I hope its true. And yeah she said she didn't want to crossover, but I can see the label releasing it without her promoting it. If this rumor turns out to be true it will probably just be released to be released, then if it starts to do moderately well, she may perform it somwhere once.
But this is definitely the song to start off with. LOVE it.

They need to single mix this. Make it a little happier sounding. It's very eery trance, I love it - but it will flop horribly if they don't remix it for US audiences.

I hope she does well. But I see her doing very averagely in the US before disappearing there, and returning to the UK to find her northern core fanbase no longer like her cos she became 'stuck up'! LOL, I've seen it all before.

I haven't heard this, but shouldn't they try first with FFTL? That was huge in the UK...

I dont hate Cheryl, but this song is a snoozefest, imo. It could do well though, we shall see.

'Fight For This Love' or 'Parachute' should be first, not this.

I'm torn. I like this song and would like it to do well, but then again, I wouldn't mind seeing her being stuffed into a garbage can, having the lid sealed and being thrown into the east river .

I prefer this song over FFTL but this is too dark/trancey for radio and the general public. There is a reason why this song did nowhere near as well as FFTL in the UK. And it is too much of a grower.
I hope they would seriously reconsider.

I'd rather contribute the "lack of success" (If you can call it that, it did hit #4) to the huge success of the album.
Obviously chosen due to will.i.am. It's a great track, but I don't think it would work in its current state for the US. It's a bit too slow.

Fight For This Love should be the first single. I'm sure they chose "3 Words" because of Will.i.am, but "Fight For This Love" would have been a better choice. They're both growers, but "Fight" is a much more obvious song, and the Will.i.am feature would be best used to help get a successful follow up when the Black Eyed Peas don't have a single racing up the charts.
