Cheryl Cole moved out from behind the judges’ desk to perform new single Promise This on The X Factor at the weekend. It’s just a shame she had to mime her way through most of it.
I’ve watched this video several times and am convinced Cole mimed all but a small portion of Promise This in the middle of the song, The rest was mimed, even though the contestants aren’t allowed to mime during their performances.
The whole performance is also alleged to have been recorded in advance in case Cole messed up. Another luxury not afforded the contestants themselves.
On top of all that, the song is crap. Maybe Cole should stick to her day job of TV presenting. Oh wait, she sucks at that as well. She could always marry a footballer… Oops.
