Cheryl Cole - Promise This live @ The X Factor (UK)

Looking ever so spectacular, The X Factor (UK) judge Cheryl Cole showed exactly why she deserves to be a judge on the show. Performing Promise This, the lead single from her sophomore solo effort Messy Little Raindrops. Cole didn't dance as much as I would've liked her too, but she actually sounded decent, although she was performing over a backing track. Still, judging from the crowd (who erupted with applause and went absolutely nuts), expect Cole to be #1 next week with Promise This. And I'm really glad with the outcome of the performance. She didn't blow off a big opportunity like Diana Vickers did or leave a meh.. first impression like Joe McElderry did. Funny how both of the artists mentioned were Cole's proteges on the show in 2008 and 2009 respectively.
