After last nights news that Cheryl Cole has become the fastest selling artist of 2010 so far with her second album, Messy Little Raindrops, being a fan I could not wait to buy it and see what it was like.
When Cheryl first went solo I have to admit that I was not keen on 'Fight For This Love'. I don't know what it was about the song but it just didn't sound right, something that I also thought about 'Promise This' the first time I heard it.
However now I have developed a real liking to both songs. I don't know what it is about the songs but they definitely grow on you if you let them. I bought her first album '3 Words' and instantly liked all of the songs. I did not think there was a bad song on that album and having listened to 'Messy Little Raindrops' this afternoon my opinions on Cole's second album are the same.
I know that not everyone reading this will agree with me but I have to say, I can see why she has rushed to the top spot in the charts ahead of Rhianna. (I am not saying that Rhianna is rubbish before anybody thinks I am, her performance on The X Factor last night was brilliant and she is also a very good artist).
My favourite song on the album is 'Raindrops' and it is completely different to what I have heard Cheryl do before. It is a much slower song and it really does show off her voice. I could listen to it over and over again. It reminds me of her version of 'Fireflies' that she did for Radio 1's Live Lounge or 'Set The Fire To The Third Bar', a song she performed with Snow Patrol at last years Children In Need Rocks The Royal Albert Hall concert.
With Cole's success comes and X Factor failure. Why is Wagner still in? Who is voting for him and how was Katie in the bottom two again?
Oh and can we please try and get Gavin Henson out of Strictly? My ironing board moves better than him!
