This song is almost painful to listen to. What on earth is "alouetta wettah wettah" supposed to mean?

What does it mean? You are trying to operate at too high a level if you are looking for MEANING.

The target audience is one where a discussion about hair straightners versus curling tongs is considered demanding.

"Alouette, ouette, ouette, plumerai le á laile"

Translates as "Skylark, skylark, skylark, pluck the wings"

For that reason, this get's 1 star for not makes any sense what-so-ever.

It's gonna be an action packed babe battle for Sunday's number 1 .

I put my money on Cheryl Cole days ago and I still stand by that .

Promise This is a very strident pop song , which is laden with hooks from start to finish .
Such is the Lady Gaga approach to songwriting , where she crams 5 huge hooks into her singles , this track recognises the template and utilises it to the max .

On saying that however , I like this song more , each time I hear it . It is a very warm song and has huge commercial appeal.
High in the T.v and Radio Airplay charts ,and the X Factor profile .
I expect this to sell well over the 100,000 mark

The beauty of the chorus is a real winner .
Ticks all the pop song , comeback single boxes , that will ensure success .

Anyone remember the Chart Blog review of Fight For This Love ?

It basically said that the song was poor with minimal appeal and that the other members of Girls Aloud should drink champagne , as it represented no danger to the career of Girls Aloud , and that Cheryl's solo career would have very limited success .

You can see why Chartblog don't do predictions .

Fight For This Love sold over 283,000 copies in it's first week , went to number 1 and went on to outsell every Girls Aloud single .
To many it had HUGE appeal.
(Cliched lyrics , though.)
Fantastic bridge and chorus .
Cheryl's album , 3 Words has gone 3 times platinum and is still in the album charts , nearly a year later .

Cheryl is due to release her second solo album , while Girls Aloud have no concrete plans for a reunion .

Promise This is heading to number 1 .

Glass of champagne , Cheryl pet ?

All well and good but that doesn't mean it's good.

And I'm SURE you're prediction have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the fact Rihanna got snubbed by The X Factor last minute in place of Michael Bublé, meaning Cheryl got The X Factor performance and Rihanna still only has radio promotion?

Now sit down, spirit, before you have a aneurism. This really isn't the rocket science you make it out to be, pet.

Oh, and the only reason '3 Words' is "still" in the charts is because of anticipation for her second album - this happens all the time to big acts (it's happened this year alone to the likes of Katy Perry, The Script, Kylie, Robbie Williams, and Kings of Leon); it fell out of the charts 'round about April just gone and has only just reared it's ugly, "I'm off to a bee-keeper's funeral" head two weeks ago.

:)

Actually Rihanna was meant to be on XF at the weekend, but couldn't because she was at Katy Perry's wedding. She will be on the show this coming weekend instead, which could easily help her to knock Cheryl off no.1 next week.

Hello my little fly in the ointment ! lol

I said that Cheryl would be number 1 , well before Buble shot his bubbles all over Rihanna on X-FACTOR .

283,000 people buying her last lead single was a big clue .

One of the biggest factors in making a good pop single is having tons of appeal and judged on that , of course it's good .
It's got appeal and then some .
Looking at the big picture ,it's the perfect pop single for Cheryl .

Of course we will get the people on here,who won't like it, moaning about this and that, regarding Cheryl , X Factor etc , that will be predictable , but that won't matter a jot , cos this little pop single will set up her second album nicely .

Oh and Oddie , my little Parachute (who always catches me when I fall ) , Cheryl's 3 Words album , has been in the top 75 album chart for 52 weeks .

It will be 53 weeks this Sunday .

@7 Brilliant !

Look at Special K with the celebrity gossip !

:)

@7 Oh I knew that but now it's not as interesting because we know Cheryl's heading to #1.

@9 I meant Top 40.

As for the single, I fail to see these hooks, spirit, unless you count the "Alouette" part that wasn't even written by her, or any of her song-writers for that matter.

The reason I don't like this song is because it's lazy. It's an incomplete hash of a song with the tempo setting on too fast and a non-existant chorus.

And people said Sophie Ellis-Bextor's 'Bittersweet' had a bad chorus... at laest you knew it was actually THERE.

I'm surprised no-one's mentioned the French in this is almost identical to Bang Bang Bang. It's too specific to be a coincidence. Since when were skylarks a common topic in songs? MNDR is imaginative enough to think of something like that, the lazy songwriters of this don't convince me. Let's be honest, forgetting all the issues of insincerity and vocal talent for a moment, it's not even that catchy? Get back to Girls Aloud pronto. Actually, disappear altogther; in this current climate, girl bands don't stand a chance.

Amen to that MozFoz! I couldn't possibly call it catchy and believe myself when I said it.

allouette wettah wettah is a rip off of Mark Ronsons Bang Bang Bang, which is a ripoff of Alouetta, that folkish french song

btw Mozfoz are you sure MNDR wrote it or was it Mark Ronson...

MNDR wrote the majority of Bang Bang Bang in fact, which surprised me too at first as I thought Ronson wrote all the songs, and I personally found her inclusion of an old French Canadian nuusery rhyme quite a nice touch; very creative considering chart music nowadays. Cheryl Cole has now released a song which sort of 'cheapifies' it if you get me? It's quite shameless in a way.

And thanks OddOne :)

Hi, im new to chart blog and I enjoy reading your comments.

This song is a bit autotuned don't you think? And, OddOne, I completely agree with you. Doesn't make sense. 2 Stars for me.

Hi MassiveFlapJack, you're more than welcome to chat with us any time :) At the bottom of each page here there is the 'Topical posts' box which says where the latest comments are. We are currently using this page for general music discussion. Hope all that helps :)

Come to think of it, I am still to state my thoughts on this song... I will do so later.

Thanks, see you around. :)

I personaly fail to see anything in cheryl cole.

And secondly this song is a vein attempt to seem edgy cool and above all talented which she ovbiously is not because if not for the x factor she'd be back in newcastle in nothing but a mini skirt sipping on smirnoff ice and i hate the fact she will be number 1 in plce of rihanna which is a much better song all because she's little miss x factor that is not what music is about.

Cheryl Cole already many directions attempt after expand of independece. I enjoy is the she's take the judge are very good on X Factor. in latest, a songs "Promise This" is the very excellent and background of ballet in MV. Cheryl Colenis a many-sided of the surface artist.

Could not have put it better myself . Good work .

@21 . We could all use the word "if" for any person in the world , including ourselves . You are the master of your fate and the captain of your soul . Be your best at everything you do .

Hello, is that you, Lady GaGa!?

and can any of you peeps do better plz? NO?? Didn't think so :)

Given the same equipment, and the same producers, we'd pwn Cheryl.

Smileey i like cheryl cannot sing in tune but put on the xfactor put me in any red top paper and you or i could like cheryl sell millions :) yes it does seem to be just that easy these days.

Well said, Tom!

Well done on your number 1 Cheryl .

Have a glass of champagne , pet .

I find it quite amusing that Rihanna is performing on X Facotr in a few hours, and Cheryl will be there. "Judging". :L

Bet she stands up and claps !
