We're all still reeling from the shock that Cheryl Cole has been reportedly axed from the X Factor USA after just a few weeks, with Nicole Scherzinger tipped to replace her.
There is still no word from the FOX network show or Cheryl's representation but it is thought the Geordie beauty is already on her way back to the UK with her tail between her legs.
Many reasons are floating around as to why Cheryl was given the boot, some blaming her thick Geordie accent, others her lack of fame across the pond and others saying she was too homesick to continue.
So what is it about Cheryl that wasn't right? As far as we're concerned she and Nicole are not too dissimilar... Is it just that Nicole's a big name in the US and Cheryl a relative nobody?
Check out our gallery that compares the two beautiful singers and ask the question, who is right for the X Factor USA?
