CHERYLCOLE> Hello everyone I'm looking forward to hearing your questions. Lets see who has the most original one!!!!
Rtay> What made u decide to have a solo career?
CHERYLCOLE> Girls Aloud were taking a year out, which we've known for a little while. So it all kind of happened together. It was my chance to show what I could do on my own.
Nessie> Your new single is brilliant heard it on X factor do u write your own songs?
CHERYLCOLE> I have written half of the album yes, but that is something I like doing. But I also love showcasing other people's talents.
Jessymay> Hiya Cheryl, do u prefer to perform with girls aloud or on your own?
CHERYLCOLE> Prefer to be with the girls, it's a bit daunting on my own. I like having the dancers around - but its not the same as having the girls alongside me.
Danny227> Where did u get your inspiration from 4 your single?
CHERYLCOLE> I didn't write this single myself, but as soon as I got it I loved it! I was busting with excitement to get into the studio- I had a real connection with it.
Greeneyedgal> Are you scared of going at it alone? X
CHERYLCOLE> Yes. I'm terrified, but in a good way. I think every now and then you need a bit of fear in your life. But you have to feel the fear and do it anyway.
Geordielaura> How are you doing? Was wondering if you'll be doing a solo gig? I'm soooo excited! I pre-ordered your album can't wait! Xx
CHERYLCOLE> I feel challenged it's all good! Not at the moment but if everyone likes the new album then it would be great!
Snowdrop> Hi Cheryl loved your performance on x factor, you outshone Whitney. Is your solo career a temporary thing and will there be any more girls aloud?
CHERYLCOLE> We've got 3 more albums to do and we only signed that deal before I did my solo album so no!
Rizzle70> You've got talent and a good heart, you'll go far x
CHERYLCOLE> Aw thanks Rizzle!
Cherryxbabyx> What's your fav track from your new album? X
CHERYLCOLE> It's probably the 2nd song- 3words- I play my own songs and I have to phase out the fact its me singing! It feels a bit weird listening to myself!
Badkitty1> Who or what has been yr biggest inspiration to date?
CHERYLCOLE> My mum I find quite inspiring. A lot of artists I find inspiring musically, but when it comes to life it has to be my mum and my family I actually find a lot of the contestants on X Factor quite inspiring and what they've got to say
Marty18> Cheryl I love your advert - I think your worth it baby!
You're a lady and you're so pretty! What do you like most about x factor?
CHERYLCOLE> I like when your act comes out and delivers on stage. Watching them grow into stars in front of you and proving Simon wrong!
Trojanxxl1> 1st of all congrats on the release of your solo single! What is it like being sat next to Simon Cowell and Miss Minogue Junior?
CHERYLCOLE> It was weird last year because the whole thing was new to me but now it's just normal like we've never been away
Girl369> hey Cheryl Natalie from Liverpool! Is it true you and Alexandra are going 2perform 2gether on x factor x
CHERYLCOLE> I don't think I'd dare! But we could dance together- I never say never!
Wildchild1471> Hi Cheryl. What would you be doing now if you hadn't made it as a singer?
CHERYLCOLE> I would still be trying but something definitely in performing either a dancer or trying to be. Musical Theatre maybe
Ams3> If you were mentoring Simon Cowell in the over 50's category, what song choice would you give him :) xx
CHERYLCOLE> I don't think I'd be completely satisfied if I wasn't performing
It would have to be 'Shut Up!' Black Eyed Peas- Just give him the chorus!
Superilynz> You look amazing every time i see you! What inspires your fashion choices? X
CHERYLCOLE> I just like what I like - I suppose subconsciously you're inspired by things around you but not anyone in particular
Girl578> What are you doing for Halloween and what's your favourite fancy dress costume?
CHERYLCOLE> Halloween is one of them where you wish you were in America - I could dress up and do trick or treat!! But no I'm not doing anything I have Halloween every Saturday sitting next to Simon!
Girl578> What's that coffee you're drinking Cheryl?!
CHERYLCOLE> Vanilla Latte... but you are freaking me out!!
Betteboop> The tattoo on your hand does it have any particular significance or meaning?
CHERYLCOLE> I was just one of them where I was going through a new phase in my life and I was happy and wanted to mark it
Judojohnny> If u had the chance to go back in time and live your life again is there anything you would change?
CHERYLCOLE> Absolutely nothing I don't believe in regrets, everything happens for a reason I live each day as it comes
Ams3> What are your 3 most treasured possessions?
CHERYLCOLE> My dogs, my coffee in the mornings and my mother
Prettygirlx> What will you be planning for the future Cheryl?
CHERYLCOLE> I'm planning to hopefully have babies one day and hopefully people will like this album that's the only thing on the pipeline at moment.
Tiptop1> When is Lou coming back we all miss him!
CHERYLCOLE> He is back tomorrow to watch the rehearsals and I can't wait to see him either - never thought I'd hear myself say that!
Mattlad1> Would you ever consider acting?
CHERYLCOLE> No that is the one thing I've had scripts and that before but I'd have to really take out time to learn acting but you really have to be skilled to be convincing
Wonky2> Hi Cheryl when was the last time you went out without being recognised?
CHERYLCOLE> I can't remembered the last time I wasn't recognised
Emmerz> Are you a Newcastle footie fan?! :-)
CHERYLCOLE> Yes!
Naughtygenuine> Cheryl what do u consider to be your greatest achievement?
CHERYLCOLE> I don't think it's come yet.
CHERYLCOLE> Thank you all for your questions some really fun ones in there. And thank you for all your support if you've got the single and if you haven't you can get the album on Monday! I hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it
Daveooo> I love u Mrs Cole x x x
