I guess it's fresh to see something different.
will.i.am can't sing/rap either, so she won't look as bad as she would if she had a duet with a decent artist.
he's crap and in any performance I've seen with him in or with Black Eyed Peas, he's always been behind the music when rapping![]()
Latest rumour is that all 4 finalists will be releasing an individual single![]()
Albeit in iTunes
Hardly worth voting now , not that I ever have anyway![]()
She will indeed be bad, compared to Eminem, but then give Cher 10-15 years to refine her "art" (as Eminem has had) and I have no doubt that she will be doing a good job. The plus point with Cher is that she can rap AND sing, mixing the 2 together. Eminem only raps.
You focus way too much on vocal quality. The top selling artist over the last few years is Lady Gaga and she certainly isn't the best vocalist out there, yet she has a certain something, which attracts people to her. She is different and unique. Cher can also be different and unique, but she will need a strong marketing team behind her, to work on this area.
A lot of people seem to compare an XFactor contestant, still trying to win, with an established artist. This is totally wrong. You wouldn't compare A.Burke while she was still trying to win the competition, to what she is now, as she has now moved on and improved. JLS are the same and in their current form/ability would easily win most XFactor finals.
Cher is the only artist, the likes of which XFactor has yet to see. This is the only reason why I believe the Cher has a chance to make a career for herself. The big problem for her is that the votes are going against her, which shows that the public, for whatever reason, just don't like her. This means that her marketing team will need to re-invent her (perhaps give Cher some lessons in humility). If they successfully re-invent her, there are MASSIVE possibilities for Cher. Cher cannot make it on her own and like any other successful artist (B.Spears, Spice Girls, Lady Gaga, etc), will need a VERY strong marketing/management team guiding her.
I don't think she needs any reinventing. She's only 16-17 and has managed to keep her image in what must be very difficult circumstances. She's no way my brand of music I can't stand to watch her sing but I can appreciate what she does will appeal to her fans. I like listening to Robbie Williams sing good voice but can't stand to look at the man.
However should she change and have some humility because the middle aged couch potatoes say so? I don't think so I would say if she has 2 good singles she's on her way.
It's all about the image and I'm sure feisty rebel goes down well with loads of teenage girls.
I hate cher
