Cheryl she is

  • April 4, 2008

This, in case you haven't already seen it, is Will.i.am's 'Heartbreaker' video. ('Heartbreaker' is one of the better songs from last year's largely
unlisten­able 'Songs About Girls' album, although 'The Donque Song' and
'Spending Money' are worth a moment of your time.)

As you will know if you have been watching Girls Aloud's 'Passions' TV show, the band members who could be bothered to take part each undertook a 'challenge' and Cheryl's was to audition for the starring role in this Will.i.am video.

Miraculously and totally unex­pec­tedly she got the part, and Will.i.am even gave her a vocal on this version of the song. It's amazing, really, con­sid­er­ing how well 'Songs About Girls' has done in the UK, that Will.i.am recruited one of British pop's biggest stars for this role. (HEM HEM)

We wonder if this guest spot in a massive US pop video will launch Cheryl as a huge superstar in America?
