Will.I.Am Thinks Cheryl Cole Will Be Huge in America: Five Reasons She Will Succeed

Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am has declared that Cheryl Cole's new album will be just the platform she needs to make it big in America. British musicians often find it hard to break into the US music scene, but will.i.am is sure that Cheryl has got what it takes. She certainly possesses many of the qualities it takes to be a superstar, so here are five reasons why Cheryl Cole will soon be a household name in the United States.

"The X Factor"

Before Simon Cowell introduced "The X Factor," most Americans had never heard of Chezza. She was signed up to be a judge and mentor on the talent show, but was dropped because producers felt that she wasn't comfortable enough on the panel. While it's sad that she is best known for being sacked from a TV show, people have heard her name enough to be intrigued by what she will do next.

She knows the right people

You don't get anywhere in show business without having friends in high places. Simon Cowell is one of the most influential people in the world, and Cole being so heavily associated with him will help her enormously. Having will.i.am as her manager doesn't hurt either! It's all about having contacts, and the Newcastle-born diva certainly has them.

She's interesting

This summer, the paparazzi branded Miss Cole as the most boring woman in the world. They made this assumption based on the fact that she rarely left her apartment. What they don't know about her is that she has a very interesting background, and a lot of stories to tell. Aside from her turbulent relationship with her ex-husband Ashley, the singer almost lost her life to malaria last year. She may not be a party animal, but there is a lot more to her than you might think.

She can sing

Not everyone who tops the charts is a great singer. The 28-year-old's career was born during a TV talent show back in 2002, and she was voted into one of the UK's biggest girl bands by the British public. Her voice is very distinctive, and although it is no match for the Christina Aguileras of the world, she definitely has the talent to make it.

She's beautiful

Let's be honest, the world loves to see a pretty face! Cheryl is one of the most stunning women on the planet with the cute dimples in her cheeks, and her beautiful smile. Good looks aren't everything when it comes to being famous, but they certainly help. The good news is, her star quality isn't solely about the way she looks, it's just another part of who she is.
