"will.i.am has claimed that Cheryl Cole was wasting her talent during her time on The X Factor. The Voice UK coach, who manages Cole&amp;#039;s career, said he is pleased the Girls Aloud star is focusing on music again following her axe from The X Factor USA and subsequent refusal to rejoin the UK version.   &amp;quot;Cheryl is a great artist and \u00ADperformer and to see that go away just for TV - it wasn&amp;#039;t cool. It was a waste of talent,&amp;quot; he told the Daily Star Sunday. &amp;quot;Being on the show might have made her a star but if she wasn&amp;#039;t singing any more or writing then she had abandoned her basics. &amp;quot;Cheryl to me is not like Kim Kardashian or Paris Hilton - she has a \u00ADdifferent talent. She can&amp;#039;t just be some tabloid TV star. She needs to get back to music.&amp;quot; Speaking of Cole&amp;#039;s X Factor USA departure, he added: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m glad we both went through it but it was hard. Since the American X \u00ADFactor stuff I&amp;#039;ve learned a lot about \u00ADmyself and the music industry. &amp;quot;At first it would bring my emotions down. But now when things come up we giggle and laugh about them together.&amp;quot; Cole is currently preparing for the release of her new single &amp;#039;Call My Name&amp;#039;, which she is expected to perform on The Voice UK. Listen to &amp;#039;Call My Name&amp;#039; below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
