2010 certainly has been a tough year for the Newcastle lass, Cheryl Cole. After facing some tough criticism with her debut solo effort, Cheryl Cole meets another obstacle: Ashley Cole cheating on their marriage. Saying enough is enough, Cheryl decided to separate ties with Ashley Cole. We have posted our thoughts on how it will affect Ashley’s career as a soccer star but how about Cheryl’s career?
It has been understood that Cheryl Cole started her solo career in U.K because of her love for Ashley. With Ashley now out of the picture, we can see some things, both good and bad, going for Cheryl. Let me enumerate them in the following paragraphs.
One, she can now spread her career into the U.S. shores. This means more exposure for Cheryl Cole. Her material might be appreciated big time by the U.S market. After all, Cheryl did achieve some massive success with Girls Aloud. That proves that she can do some good, if not great, pop material that will surely get people respecting Cheryl’s talent out of pure amazement.
Two, her already not-private life gets more publicized. Every move that Cheryl does will now be closely monitored by the ever-loving eyes of the paparazzi. What’s positive with this is that Cheryl is portrayed as the victim in this mess and rightly so. She gets to earn more sympathy from the public with this situation. Cheryl has to manufacture more support for her by transforming this sympathy into ‘true support’ by doing great music. It is pretty doable and knowing how tough-minded this lass has been, I hope she can do in achieving such.
Three, without any distractions that could only cause some unwanted stress, Cheryl is basically a free woman now. She can pretty much do anything that she wants. Probably, a relaxed Cheryl will do wonders for her personality and career.
However, it must be known that only time can tell whether this situation makes her better or not.
Four, if this situation can be looked as a distraction, many might ask how Cheryl will overcome this. As I have said, this Newcastle lass is a tough-minded one. Still, whenever Cheryl makes a public appearance, this mess will always be the topic. I guess it’s all about making adjustments on Cheryl’s part.
What am I pointing out in this entry?
In the end, Cheryl ends up as a huge winner in this mess. It’s clearly Ashley’s loss. Why cheat on a goddess like Cheryl? If I was put into Ashley’s shoes, I would make sure that Cheryl gets great treatment. Seriously, Cheryl is one of the most beautiful women in this world. Treating her badly does not give any justice whatsoever. Career-wise, Cheryl can pretty much use this situation to start her U.S career. Simon Cowell helped in making Leona Lewis a star in both the U.K and the U.S. I can’t see why this won’t happen to someone like Cheryl. However, I do want the couple to patch up their differences and reconcile. If ever they do reconcile, Ashley should clean up his act and treat Cheryl with the respect that she rightfully deserves.
