OK… before I start with my rant, can I just say how much I have loved (and will continue to love) reading all of your fab comments for the last few months. Until now, nothing has really grabbed my attention enough for me to actually respond or start my own thread…. Until now!
The reason for my rant is quite simply Cheryl Tweedy, hereby refered to as Cheryl, and in particular her ‘performance’ in the rather fabulous Love Machine video. Am I the only person in the world who finds her totally annoying in this video, with her constant over-acting. Take for example if you will, the line in the song: “We're only turning into tigers when we gotta fight back”, to which Cheryl does this really bizarre and to be frank, drama-school-esque tiger motion.
Also, the bit where they sing: “Your call's late, big mistake”, and she does that really annoying smile/wink to the camera. I could go on, but I don’t really feel I need too.
Thank you for your time.

I think the awful tiger impersonation is wonderfully camp and gives me a giggle. I am, however, shallow.

I think she's great in the Love Machine video - she shows that she knows how to work the camera in a way that doesn't involve pouting and trying to look sexy. She's funny.

Hello sexxyjon!
I find her stage-school antics to be an indicator of huge charisma, but I do see what you mean about the tiger thing. A mention should also go to "This feeling's very strange", when she does the Southern belle fanning face motion. But, then, I love that.
So, to sum up, I get ya, but I disagree. Cheryl's quite great.

Ok guys, it does appear i have been a little harsh on poor Cheryl. I had forgotten all about the 'Southern belle fanning face motion', which is actually quite amusing. I take my previous damning comments back and i shall now put back on my 'I *heart* Cheryl' badge and wear it with the pride that it clearly deserves. Thanks.

i too am extremely annoyed with cheryl.
that 'rabbit in a headlight' look is too much. and what's more she does it for a good 20 seconds of the video.

I thought she was great in the Jump video, right at the end when she is on her knees on the bed and has her fingers pointed like guns and she just freezes........ so I forgive her for her Love Machine performance.

In the Jump video she turns round and gives the camera this dirty "Fuck me, and no Nadine can't join in!!" look when there running up the stairs, I want to shoot my TV when I see it.

Hmmmmm interesting, i am swaying backwards and forth in my opinion of Cheryl. I hadn't even considered the evidence in the Jump video!

Are you forgetting the ending of the Jump video? As the last few chords are playing, she points her fingers to the camera to the beat of the music. It's adorable.

Come on, Cheryl is by far the best thing about the Love Machine video, injecting a bit of fun into a video for a osng that isn't particularily serious. Just look at how comfortable she is in front of the camera, unlike the ruddy ginger one who just seems too self aware throughout.

Cheryl's just an adorable cutie pie, especially in the Love Machine video, of which she's the best thing in it. She actually has the best facial expressions in pop, the big eyes and the dimples help. No way does she deserve to be in this section.

This is probably the only time that the pale and interesting (and occasionally interestingly tanned) Nicola has ever been described as 'ruddy'.

The tiger motion and southern belle fan are fantastic! Although people do look at me and my mate funny when doing them in packed nightclubs...

How anyone can not like the Tweedy is beyond me! La Cheryl makes the Love Machine video! If it wasnt for her, and her genius expressions and charismatic performance then it would be hard to distinguish it from a random Atomic Kitten video. And I love her "gun fingers" in the Jump video.
I agree that Nicola looks too self aware, but she's "at that age" and she's improving a lot. Compare her in Love Machine to her debut in Sound of the Underground...wait, you barely saw her in that, okay, No Good Advice...wait, no Nicola there either...but then Life Got Cold comes along and she owns.

Well... just to let you know that I have cancelled my proposed rooftop protest against Cheryl *puts Wonder Woman costume away*, due to an apparent lack of support.
i am now going to channel hate in the direction of a more deserving figure i.e. the fat one from McFly...

I don't rate the tiger impression either, but Cheryl is God so she must not be questioned.
Any short little chick who dares to pick a fight with a fat woman five times the size of her is a hero in my eyes.

Cheryl annoys me too!. She never returns any of my dirty phone calls or love letters. If it wasn't for my misguided notion that she's simply playing hard to get, you'd think she didn't know me or something.

Can someone please explain the whole Sophie Wotshername fight to me and what the conclusion was? I was trying to defend The Cheryl the other night at the pub as being 'lovely' since I'd met her 'in person' (at the Prize) but I was a bit rubbish at explaining away the fight.

Basically, Chezza got drunk, went to the loo, where some attendant was trying to sell lollies and perfume and th like. Ceryl thinking they were freebies grabs a handful and makes off with them, much to the big black sellers displeasure. And inevitable Cheryl being the fiesty geordie she is gets into a fight with her, which she freely admits. However, the seller alledges that Cheryl called her a "black bitch" which Cheryl denied (although if she was as ratted as she made out can she really remember ?).
Come the court case Cheryl was found guilty of assualt but not racist behaviour. I think the 'victim' is still trying for money through the civil courts or something.

Sophie Wotshername wouldn't give Cheryl any lollipops, and then shot her in the chest calling her a white sissy princess. OK, that might not be true, but Cheryl wasn't given any lollipops, which is a pretty reasonable excuse to start a fight really.

Can anyone confirm that the toilet attendant lady had a disease causing her to bruise easily but wasn't taking the medication to solve this problem at the time?
Or did I just dream that...

That cannot be confirmed, but it can be confirmed that her initial statement to the police was a lot more timid than the one she sold gave to the tabloids. It took a Fleet Street cheque to trigger her memory about the racist slurs.

My favourite part of the episode was the account given in court of Cheryl being so drunk that she was finding it impossible to walk and text at the same time without falling over.

Come on now! Take Tweedy from Girls Aloud and they're nothing. Nadine has the voice, and they're all beautiful, but Cheryl's the only one with real charisma. Even before the drunken punch up she seemed to be the only one with a sense of real danger and excitement about her. She's the only one who could feasibly succeed as a solo artist, because she's the only one who's marginally interesting without the others.
