Cheryl Cole was dropped from the US version of "The X Factor" TV talent show because American audiences cannot understand her accent. Cole, a major celebrity in Britain, appears to have been discarded from the show less than a month after arriving in the United States, and well before it hits US TV screens in September.
Cole is from Newcastle in northeast England, which has one of the country's strongest accents, and has admitted in the past that some Americans took time to adapt her Geordie brogue.
British newspaper, with tongue firmly tucked in cheek, said the timing of the snub was ironic because it came just days after the US President Barack Obama reaffirmed the importance of the US-British "special relationship".
