| | Cheryl Cole accent - do you understand ???
Poor Cheryl Cole was kicked out of X Factor USA. Do you understand her accent.
I'm not a Geordie so I struggle, so maybe the America did have a point.

I struggle with her accent - you do not have to not be a geordie to do so. Apparently, she declined the offer of elocution lessons ... however, I am sure she will survive.

I think her northern accent is lovely!
(and she is so pretty, and feminine which probably helps too...)

Prefer the northern dialects much more to those southern yodeling.

I can understand her fine, I just happen to find her a vacuous, talentless bimbo.

Was just going to write that...
If any of you really think that's a strong Geordie accent, you've never been exposed to the real thing.
That said, I've been the US and people have had difficulty understanding me... and, you'll have to trust me on this, I've not got much of an accent beyond boarding school best. |

Annoys me because any american with any accent is understood in the UK or expected to be understood - it's nothing to do with her accent its the fact she's not famous enough and they have to have mega stars - just using the accent as an excuse
