Did Cheryl Cole rip-off Kelis?

Cheryl Cole may be rocketing to Number One on the British pop charts with what looks set to become the biggest selling single of 2009 but it's not all solo joy in the mock Tudor mansion of this particular footballer's wife. Because "Fight For This Love", the song which is currently taking the UK by storm, today stands accused of being a rip-off of a 2007 track from Kelis, entitled "Lil Star".

Since I fist heard Cheryl's song it has reminded me of something else and it's "Lil Star" now you've mentioned it.

"Lil Star" is a lovely song but not I'm not liking Cheryl's too much to be honest.

And she should sack her stylist - it looks like she's dancing around in a pair of jammies at one point in her in her video.

Honestly don't know if its a rip off but its dire either way

I thought Cheryl looked ridiculous on the XFactor, her outfit was hideous and her routine has been done years ago by Janet Jackson and much better IMO.
