Louis Walsh: ‘Cheryl Cole is the New Kylie’

Louis Walsh was yesterday singing the praises of his X Factor co-star Cheryl Cole, as he told a national tabloid that he can see the singer becoming as big as Kylie Minogue.

Cheryl has been working hard over the last 6 months on launching her solo career, and is rumoured to be debuting her new track on The X Factor later this year.

As Girls Aloud’s previous manager, Louis Walsh gave Cheryl Cole a big thumbs up, as he predicts big things to come to the sexy star. “I actually think she’s the new Kylie. There’s no doubt about it, Cheryl will be a huge pop star when she releases her solo album.“

He continued: “Her career is only just starting and she will be the most successful member of Girls Aloud. There’s no way she’ll be having babies for quite some time yet.“

Louis also went as far to say: “I’m not surprised she’s an icon now. People love Cheryl because she can identify with her fans, she’s got the right attitude, she likes people and can be sympathetic and fun. She’s also one of the best judges ive ever worked with because she’s honest and just gets it, she knows so much about music and the charts and she’s got an opinion on everything.“

So do you agree with the Irish judge? Will Cheryl Cole be the most successful member of Girls Aloud?
