"  Blimey. A bit&amp;#039;s happened in The World of Cheryl Cole since the lyrics for her third solo single were written. In the light of recent developments, &amp;quot;Baby, if I&amp;#039;ve got you / I don&amp;#039;t need a parachute&amp;quot; is probably only topped by &amp;quot;I won&amp;#039;t fall out of love / I&amp;#039;ll fall into you&amp;quot; for sheer inappropriateness. While it&amp;#039;s clear she&amp;#039;s not feeling those words now, it&amp;#039;s also fair to argue that she wasn&amp;#039;t necessarily 100% behind these sentiments when she stuck them on plastic last year. That&amp;#039;s perhaps the peril of being a pop cipher, as opposed to an artist in complete control of their own lyrical destiny. It&amp;#039;s this disconnect between Cole, her carefully-crafted public persona and her equally deliberate choice of material which makes it a struggle to accept her fully as a solo pop princess. All that said, while &amp;#039;Parachute&amp;#039; features the same fauxfessional shtick as &amp;#039;Fight For This Love&amp;#039;, it&amp;#039;s also a much better song. It&amp;#039;s slickly-produced and the wonderfully melodic verses bring out the best in her voice rather than highlighting its deficiencies. It won&amp;#039;t put her up there with the likes of Kylie or Britney, but along with the quirky &amp;#039;3 Words&amp;#039;, it does offer evidence that there may yet be worth in Cole as a bona fide popstar rather than mere tabloid fodder.  &amp;amp;gt; Click here for our review of Cheryl&amp;#039;s album "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
