KTLA Morning News chat US X Factor & Cheryl's accent



With the impossibly massive black hole of speculation about Cheryl and her apparent ejection from the US X Factor, sometimes it's good just to cut straight to the heart of the matter.

As many people have commented, this whole business that the reason she's been 'sacked' because of her accent is ridiculous. Not only does it not make sense (show co-host Steve Jones also has a strong regional accent), but it is also insulting to Americans; implying they are too stupid to understand her accent.

And this is what KTLA Morning News pick up on in this rather charming clip. They're really supportive of Cheryl, singing her praises and emphasising her UK success - best of all though is a hefty montage of clips of Cheryl speaking on the UK X Factor to illustrate their point that they can understand her perfectly. They even say her accent is cute.

They then play a proper LOL-worthy clip of fellow US judge Paula Abdul cocking up her words massively.

Point proved.
