Didn't surprise me VS  

I agree vids - totally showed herself up there to me

Shes a horrible little cow. Her aggressiveness tonight showed her up for the little chav she is.  Cowell as well is a complete prick, nothing more than a bully.

I couldn't believe it ..one of the most well known Elton John songs ever

I've been saying this for years.

Not surprised at all.

But, if she's not familiar with the song, how could she tell Paije that he made it his own? Just another X Factor cliche that rolls off the tongue with no meaning behind the words, isn't it!

My 11 year old knows it!







All it proves is that she shouldn't be a judge if her musical knowledge is so limited. How can she pick songs for her contestants if she doesn't know anything that wasn't covered by GA or unless it came out in the last couple of years.

I don't watch it, but how can anyone not know Crocodile Rock 

Hear hear.

Cheryl Cole managed that almost impossible task tonight.


She must have been living in a cave on the moon with a paper bag over her head all her life never to have heard that song.

I was also shocked by her admission, wondered afterwards though why I was. Surprised other judges didn't pick up on her comment, then again they're all in cahouts with each other when it suits them or their purpose.

I have to agree Video, she must have looked a tool/fool or total idiot 

Yep, the gasps from the audience suggested that they couldn't believe what she said.

I'm not surprised 

She's a total div that's why.

She's an over rated little gobby twit. I've always said she was under qualified to judge and tonight proved my point. I agreed with EVERYTHING Louis said, and Simon just leaps to her defence all the bloody time, it's actually quite nauseating to watch the Cheryl Cole charm offensive PR operation in action. From the Piers Morgan 'Really pet I had no idea what questions were going to be asked and I'm shocked we just talked about me as a victim' debacle to the Jay Kay 'raised eyebrows Ricky Lake styleee attitude I aint applauding HIM' scandal to the Louis and Danny getting shouted down if they DARE to disagree with prissy knickers, it's becoming ridiculous.

About time she got knocked off her bloody pedestal. She's been hyped up as the nations sweetheart, she who can do no wrong and all that crap. She wants to be known as this fiesty fiery force of nature with a heart of gold and have everyone love her and nobody dislike her and she gets the hump if anyone has the guts to disagree. Bollocks.

^^^^^^^ 

Surprises me how all the dumb shits get all the best jobs

I couldn't believe it - I'm not exactly knowledgeable when it comes to mucis and even I know it.  Just shows a pathetic little chav she is really - claims to be a professional "musician" yet she doesn't know this sone - laughable!!

Well said Karma  Elton John week and she's never heard of one of his songs

Did anyone else feel embarrassed for Cowell choosing Elton John week when Elton stated he thinks the show is rubbish?

Shameless brown nosing.

And then she chose Candle in the Wind for  one of her girls it's a beautiful song but ................IMO - shouldn't really be tampered with. it has it's place in history.

LOL never thought of that River

I don't believe that any if the judges were covered in glory tonight. One feels sorry for that Paigey one. If any contestant ever received a hospital pass, it was him.

A bit harsh, she's not of the age to know that song automatically IMO.  It's a bit of a oldies commercial radio staple but if that's not your thing then it's not your thing.  I can't remember the last time I heard Crocodile Rock, must be many, many years ago.  I'm not a fan of Elton's as I can't stand his voice - so I do tend to avoid his music.

It starts with "I remember when Rock was young".


Doesn't mean Cheryl should.

Not just saying it, but I honestly haven't a f***ing clue what Crocodile Rock is. I haven't seen last nights X Factor yet, so can't comment on this weeks evil-Cherylness, but Sky+'d it so will watch tomorrow.

Thanks. Well now I know. Had never heard that song before but I'm no big Elton John fan so I probably haven't heard many of his songs really.

It is one of his best known and Cherryl should have made herself accustomed to the songs.

I'm surprised the focus is more on her not having heard of Crocodile Rock as opposed to her ditching the only real singer in the show last week. I liked her up to that point. She is now a complete waste of space in my view.

That was Simon and Louis, surely!

I was very surprised but to be honest  I dont rate her as a good judge I prefer Danni she is more honest in my opinion, and I  have gone right off Simon Cowell this year he is less honest than them all put together.

No, it was her. She refused to vote to keep the singer in and vote out the talking out of tune barbie doll.

She is, but she also does that incredibly annoying thing of saying listen to the crowd who would screech insanely in approval if Hitler youth were singing Uber Alles  out of tune.

And if she'd kept Trayc in and the others had kept Katie, it wouldn't have been at all awkward for her!

I dont know if it is my imagination this year the crowd seems to be screeching forever half the time I miss what the judges are saying I find myself shouting at the telly ..Shooooooosh

Hi Blizzie

Just watching it on ITV2 now... 

Typical of this forum


Basically this thread has been started because Cheryl said 'The song isn't a familiar one to me', probably because like Louis said it's from 1972
She never said she hadn't heard of it at all Typical GaGajoyjoy something out of nothing.
