Cheryl

I cannot believe some the posts in this thread this week.
I love this woman and root for her as much as the next person, but... yeah, it's really time to leave her alone.

She's going through an unimaginable loss. Her child has lost his father.
Anything career related will be the furthest thing from her mind.

Good god, get a grip.
 
I still can't believe a song like I Don't Care reached #1. Like... how.
I agree in regards to quality but to be honest it makes sense: a basic bop with a feel good/empowering post-break up message.

Karens and Barbaras (and their basic pet gays) eat that shit up.
 
I mean, it's less jarring than Crazy Stupid Love hitting #1 nn. But I guess Cheryl was lucky to nab those #1s towards the end of the period when it was all about sales, because I can't imagine either song doing nearly as well had streaming been a big factor.
Crazy Stupid Love, an underrated bop!

The majority of Cheryl’s singles run was utterly pop perfection, bar two or three singles. She also had a handful of tracks that should have been singles too.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, but Cheryl as a solo popstar was great. She understood the brief and always delivered, it’s just a shame she didn’t have greater quality control over the final track lists of her albums as there were always a few duds that stopped them from being first class.

If she curated a hits package with fan favs (like Girls Aloud’s ‘Ten’) and released on Vinyl, it was completely smash!
