Gorgeous Geordie Cheryl Cole, "Our Cheryl" to fans, is just "a Brit Hard to Understand"; Rod Stewart might even say she's a "Little Miss Understood"


Cheryl Cole's new TV ad for L'Oréal Elnett has fun with her accent and features subtitles.

Meet Cheryl Cole -- she's British, 27, and Simon Cowell, who has handpicked her to be one of his fellow judges on the "X Factor" this fall, reckons she could be the next big British star to break America. There's just one problem -- will anyone be able to understand her?

The Telegraph
She's our Cheryl, not his
Our glee over Ashley Cole's split from his wife Cheryl had more to do with our feelings than theirs, says Jemima Lewis
By Jemima Lewis 6:36PM GMT 27 Feb 2010

Just as no amount of air-freshener can obliterate the smell of a cab-driver's armpits, there was no disguising the horrid whiff of glee that accompanied the news last week of Cheryl Cole's separation from her faithless husband. Partly, it was just old-fashioned schadenfreude. The implausibly rich and vulgar Coles – with their OK! wedding, National Lottery adverts (right) and occasional brushes with the law (in 2003, lest we forget, Cheryl was convicted of assaulting a lavatory attendant in a Guildford nightclub) – are not the sort of couple that we Brits instinctively root for.

I'd been thinking about this weird musical connection, this multi-media ying-and-yang that seems to connect pop stars Chery Cole and Lilly Allen for a while, ever since my October 12th post about Taylor Swift's impression of a Minnesota soccer mom on BBC Radio's Switch with Annie and Nick

http://hallandalebeachblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/taylor-swifts-impression-of-minnesota.html

But my great idea hadn't reckoned on some of the videos on YouTube that I needed NOT being embeddable for my blog, so I'm afraid you have to go thru this in four steps the old-fashioned way, and sort of keep it all in your head without the visual cues the embeds give you.
But it's worth the effort.

Taylor Swift's impression of "Minnesota Soccer Mom" on BBC 1's Switch with Annie and Nick; Dateline: On Tour With Taylor Swift; @taylorswift13




Taylor Swift's impression of "Minnesota Soccer Mom" on BBC1's "Switch with Annie Mac and Nick Grimshaw"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh32wcP7Cbg

Taylor's
impression begins at 0:51


I've been meaning to post this clip for awhile now since it's so clear that Taylor is channeling Frances McDormand's Oscar-winning turn as Marge Gunderson in "Fargo" that so captured the nation's imagination.

I'm not entirely sure that everyone in the Radio One studio with Taylor caught that, though.

Over the Memorial Day Weekend of 2009, May 31st to be exact, I watched the NBC News Dateline one-hour special on Taylor promoting her Fearless CD, titled simply, "On Tour With Taylor Swift"

It was amazing, and only served to confirm what I have thought about her from the very beginning
-she's the very definition of "the real deal."

Anyone who doubts her talent, drive and resolve is simply ignoring what is right in front of them. That Taylor's only 20 makes it all seem a bit stranger, true, but as was proven over-and-over in this particular show, and which has been said about her for years by very talented people in Nashville in a position to know from past experince, her confident demeanor, work ethic and level-headedness -which makes her seem much more mature than many if not most entertainers who are twice her age- also makes her more able to grasp the great possibilities that are her's for the taking.


And is there any entertainer right now who connects more with their audience than Taylor does? These videos hardly begin to tell the tale of her fans devotion to her.

That she combines such a keen and growing talent with such a relentless drive to satisfy her fans, each and every night, knowing that they've been looking forward to those few hours together with her for months, makes her the kind of old-fashioned star that people held onto most loyally, year-after-year.
Plus, Taylor's audience will NEVER outgrow her.
