Cheryl Cole’s new move to crack America
January 18, 2010     Posted in: Cheryl Cole     By: admin     Comments (3)    

Cheryl Cole has started work on her second solo album and is upping the ante. I can reveal America’s biggest songwriter Ryan Tedder, 30, was in the studio with the Girls Aloud star at the weekend. And it proves plans to crack the States are definitely at the forefront of the Geordie singer’s mind.

Ryan told me: “I got into England early on Saturday and went straight into the studio with Cheryl. We’re going to try and take the dance thing in a quirky new direction and make it a little more funky.”
“I’m very excited about the tracks. I’m not going to turn her into something weird but it’s different to anything she’s done.”

With Simon Cowell, 50, keen for Chezza, 26, to give him a helping hand Stateside, a spot on the judging panel of X Factor America would tie in nicely.

And OneRepublic frontman Ryan, who has penned international smashes like Beyoncé’s Halo and Leona Lewis’s Bleeding Love, is impressed by the Fight For This Love singer’s British credentials.

He said: “Cheryl’s about as famous as J-Lo was in her heyday but she’s so nice and genuine. Cheryl said there are songs Americans can get away with and she can’t.”

“It’s typical for a successful American female to put out a song about how famous or rich they are. But that’s not a British thing to do. Cheryl connects with being real and this is what the songs are about.”

Simon Cowell has dropped a big hint that he plans to make Cheryl Cole into a global superstar as a judge on his new American X Factor.

The TV and music mogul said in the US: “I think she’d be great over here – Cheryl’s a star.”

A source close to Cowell said: “It’s no surprise he wants her on the panel as he enjoys spending time with her and thinks American audiences will like her as she is young and sexy.”

Cowell, 50, also suggested his ex-colleague on American Idol, Paula Abdul, could join Cheryl, 26.

He said the other judge was likely to be a male music expert, such as former Sony music boss Tommy Mottola, ex-husband of Mariah Carey.

Cowell, who leaves American Idol at the end of this year, added: “X Factor’s got to be different from Idol so big changes are planned.”

Cheryl Cole has pledged to stand by her man… but she is moving to Los Angeles.

The sexy X Factor star, 26, wants to copy pals Posh and Becks and “break” America, leaving husband Ashley back home.

Singer Cheryl hopes to launch her TV and solo music career there by February.

She made a vow of “long distance love” to the Chelsea left-back, who will not leave Britain because of his own career.

Friends say living apart will strain their relationship. Two years ago, Ashley, 28, allegedly cheated on Cheryl. A source said that he “isn’t happy” about her leaving.

“He thinks she’s being selfish but Cheryl’s career is her top priority,” the source said. Cheryl is caught in a bidding war between a US record label and Simon Cowell, 50.

TV’s Mr Nasty is fighting to win the US rights to her solo album 3 Words.
