What happened to Cheryl? Ms Cole's unceremoniously cut after blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearance in launch of X Factor USA
She had big dreams of conquering America and even bigger hair, but tonight Cheryl Cole fell decidedly flat after making a blink-and-you-miss it appearance on X Factor USA.
The 28-year-old was unceremoniously dumped midway through the launch show, which aired on the Fox network tonight after months of hype.
She was introduced as one of Britain's most successful pop stars in the opener, but later vanished without any proper explanation to viewers
When asked about his controversial decision, Simon Cowell, 50, recently said he replaced Cole because she seemed 'bewildered' - and many may well agree.
While some U.S. critics today branded replacement Scherzinger a 'downgrade', those who had watched Cole for years on the British X Factor were certainly left wondering where her stardust had gone.
