Kelly Rowland Heading To UK, Joining Gary Barlow As New ‘X Factor’ Judge
Tue May 31 2011 by Robbie Daw
For whatever reason, British pop star Cheryl Cole was axed from the upcoming American version of Simon Cowell's TV singing competition The X Factor. Both Cole and Cowell had been judges on the original UK edition, along with Dannii Minogue and Westlife manager Louis Walsh. But it looks like Cheryl won't be taking back her original position on the show overseas, as Kelly Rowland, Take That frontman Gary Barlow and Tulisa Contostavlos of N-Dubz have been announced as the replacement judges on the British series.

Single Cover Diva-Off: Cheryl Cole’s “The Flood” Vs. Take That’s “The Flood”
Tue Jan 4 2011 by Becky Bain
British pop songbird (and possible X Factor judge?) Cheryl Cole looks stunning on the cover art of her new song, "The Flood", keeping the focus on her profile and her mane of hair instead of the atrocious footwear on her Messy Little Raindrops album cover. Vast improvement, this is.
Cole recently performed the song at the Royal Variety Performance gala in England, right after Take That performed their new song, "The Flood". We're on the fence whose similarly-named track we prefer more — so let's judge both singles on their sleeves! More »

Kylie Minogue And Cheryl Cole Entertain The Brits At The Royal Variety Performance
Thu Dec 16 2010 by Becky Bain
Last year, the Royal Variety Performance had Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus doing their could-not-be-more-different pop thangs for the Royal Family and those tuned in on the telly; this year Kylie Minogue and Cheryl Cole were on the bill for the annual British gala. Kylie got groovy with her chipper single "Better Than Today", while Ms. Cole sang her ballad "The Flood", which shares its name with a tune by Take That, who also performed on the show... singing their song, "The Flood." Has the world really run out of original song titles? Watch all three performances below.

Mon Nov 15 2010 by Robbie Daw
Viewers of last night's X Factor results show in the UK were treated to a trio of performances by three generations of boy bands—early '90s pop-kings-turned-comeback-kids Take That, immensely popular Irish balladeers Westlife and the series' own alums, JLS. Of course, Take That's appearance took on the most significance, as it marked the first live performance from the band in 15 years with Robbie Williams as a member. Watch below.

United Kingdom Braces Itself For A Cheryl Cole Vs. Take That “Flood”
Thu Oct 21 2010 by Robbie Daw
Take That might be intrigued to find out that Girls Aloud/X Factor songstress Cheryl Cole will be releasing a single called "The Flood" shortly (hear it at Music And Lyrics), since their own Stuart Price-produced tune with the same title recently premiered. Of course, the grown-up boy band really can't complain, as they've also pulled a similar trick—their upcoming Progress LP features a song called "What Do You Want From Me?", which is rather similar in title to Adam Lambert's recent hit "Whataya Want From Me." And here we though the whole N.E.R.D. "Nothing On You"/B.o.B "Nothin' On You" thing was going to be a one-time occurrence this year.

Wed Oct 20 2010 by Robbie Daw
One of Canada's most respected pop stars has photographed one of the UK's biggest bands for the December cover of Q magazine. And, no—we're not referring to Justin Bieber and the Spice Girls. Rather, Bryan Adams—who over the past two decades has built up a respectable second career as celebrity photographer—snapped glossy pics of Take That for the publication. Peek at the mag's cover and the tracklist for the That's upcoming album Progress after the jump!
