Cheryl Cole "The Flood" : Video and Review

Cheryl Cole still taken from "The Flood"

Cheryl Cole is back with new single The Flood, a soppy, mid-tempo ballad about, you guessed it, Love (symbolised by the water) and its transient nature. All in all it's a pretty mediocre and forgettable follow up to her last single Promise This, but will no doubt go top 10 thanks to her X-factor profile.

Christina Aguilera on Connan and The 2010 American Music Awards

In spite of gaining a little weight-  by Hollywood standards-and looking a little tired, Christina Aguilera is still out there promoting the release of her upcoming film Burlesque.

Firstly at the 2010 American Music Awards where she performed Express and more recently on Late Night With Conan O’Brien where she sang the jazzy, Something got a hold on me.Both Performances were a little sloppy and lacklustre, with her voice sounding darker and heavier than usual.However, there's no denying she still has amazing pipes.

Am I being too harsh? Let me, and the world, know what you thought of the performances.

Watch Christina Aguilera perform "Bound To You" on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno

Christina Aguilera performed another song from the Burlesque soundtrack, Bound to You, on the Tonight Show With Jay Leno.

The beginning, with its lower tessitura, sounded comfortable and in keeping with the recorded version of the beautiful ballad.  However, as the song hit its middle-eight and the higher belted notes began, it started to sound pretty shaky, with some of the top notes sounding out of tune and strained.

Overall it wasn't the most pleasant vocal to listen to. Hopefully it's not a reflection of the stress of the breakup and poor album sales affecting her.
