Cheryl Cole - Promise This



Now, I'm all for a bit of cheesy synth-pop now and again.  And, though I hate to admit it, Fight for this Love is a guilty pleasure of mine.  But Cheryl is rapidly going downhill with this one...

Apparently she chose the song because she related to the lyrics whilst struggling with malaria.  That's right folks, she didn't write it herself.  *shock horror*.  The song is a bit like malaria really: annoyingly catchy and fairly sickening.  But despite disliking it, I know I'll probably be singing it all week.  What's with the 'alouette' section?  Is she going French on us?  That famous French/Canadian song is about plucking a skylark.  Wait...that explains the singing then...

Promise this Cheryl.  Stick to looking pretty, it's what you're best at.
