You may have heard by now that Joe won the X Factor competition last night which leaves Cheryl Cole sitting smugly on two wins in row.
Despite being the youngest judge and the newest judge, it appears that Cheryl actually knows what she’s doing.
All of the sudden, Cheryl has blossomed from pretty WAG and girl band mimer to a serious artist. (Maybe I’m late on the Cheryl’s Awesome train, but at least I made it, OK?) Both singles from her debut solo album are pretty damn catchy, her live performances have been awesome (despite probably lip synching), and now with win number two on the X Factor, Cole seems to be an unstoppable Pop Powerhouse.
Nicola may have her pale girl makeup, Sarah might be in some movie, but Cheryl is in the charts, in the papers and magazines, on your TV and kicking Simon Cowell’s ass.
I’m not sure when it happened, but Cheryl Cole totally gained my respect. Sure she’s still married to a douchebag, but I feel like she’s finally risen above him and her own WAG status. She’s a star in her own right, and with Joe’s win last night, what could possibly stop her?
