Cheryl is a beautiful woman both inside and out, she deserves to be so successful and she is a good role model.
Style is great both with her clothes and make-up.

They both look amazing, Dani has upped her game this year as cheryl was the clear winner last year. This year its very close but still think cheryl wins the fashion stakes
Comment by siobhan on December 09 12:50
Definitely Dannii, Cheryl has had some real fashion disasters this season.
And I'd never call Cheryl a beautiful person inside. To quote Simon Amstell, isn't it funny how we all seem to have forgotten what a horrid thug she was?
Comment by Jade on December 09 13:00
Dannii is the clear winner for me - not only in her choice of clothes, but the way she wears them. She always looks classic, classy, and most of all, comfortable.
Comment by ALo on December 09 13:46
With the money they both earn, they should look good.
Comment by Sue on December 09 14:14
Definitely Dannii, each outfit has been stylish and classy with modern hairdo's to match, whilst Cheryl has been a fashion disaster, getting more and more bizarre each week
Comment by janet on December 09 14:21
dannii wins hands down....she is nice inside and out and has been around alot longer then cheryl.i agree with jade comment on how ppl forget what cheryl done to that girl in the toliet.danni has never been involved in anything like this.every week danni gets it right wheras cheryl gets it wrong so many times and she has 2 stylists lol....danni should win this one.
Comment by geraldine on December 09 14:24
Dannii has the better sense of style cos cheryl has worn hideous, even though she doesnt realize that simple classic dresses suit her better than the other the top dresses she wear. Dannii is way more classy and to be quite frank i cant stand cheryl cole.

Cheryl is just a gilded chav and looks like a dress up doll. Dannii has style and carries herself with grace and charm so that clothes always look right.
The clothes wear Cheryl but with Dannii it is her wearing the clothes!
Comment by JoJo Swansea on December 09 14:35
Definatley Danii, she always looks so classy. Cheryl often ends up looking like an overgrown chav with too much money.
Comment by Lauren on December 09 15:58
Danni for sheer class and elegance.
Beautiful hair..she could do the Loreal just as well!!!!
Cheryl is mainly for the teeny set...not so sure about some of the choices but she does look good when she stays away from the nutty numbers.
Comment by anon on December 09 16:13
Danni Danni Danni! And ditto to what Jade said!
Comment by Serina on December 09 16:24
Definately Danni. Like someone said, much more class and seems comfortable in her clothing. Beauty is only skin deep. Like I tell my daughter "pretty is as pretty does" Cheryl is not beautiful but still a bully and a thug.
Comment by Ailsa on December 09 16:51
DANNI!!...all the way...i dnt think either cheryl is a beautiful person from inside and i dnt knw why shes even a judge cz she cant sing....danni's fashion is 10X better cheryl has had some good but also some horrible dresses soo Danni's the clear winner..
Comment by haha on December 09 17:56
Danni by a mile, she is beautiful, classy, dignified and seems very warm. Yes Cheryl is beautiful,but she is manufactured.Also how can anyone say she is beautiful inside ? They do not know her at all, they know the public person not the real person.
Comment by SUSAN on December 09 18:26
Cheryl is a naturally beauty and a true style icon!!! Unlike Danni' who has had Botox, a nose job and a boob job!!! Also Cheryl has been voted 'best dressed women of 2009' and Fhm's 'sexiest women of 2009'!!!! Cheryl always outshines old plastic Danni and always will!!! Anyone who thinks differently is either jealous, insane or saying it out of pity for Danni, especially you jade you sad, insecure, jealous just because Cheryl's at the top you want to knock her down, so there's no point making up and exagerating on lies from 7 years ago and yes I am a true Cheryl Cole fan and know what is a lie or a rumour!!!! Love you Chezza, keep doing what you're doing and don't let any jealous haters put you down!!!!
Comment by Cheryl Cole is perfect!!! on December 09 21:34
Ummmmm, Psycho!
'Cheryl Cole is perfect!!' Really? Is that really the username you choose.
Comment by Bobbitybobbob on December 10 19:31
Dannii wins the X Factor face off. She has had the most beautiful garments and her whole look is so stylist...including the various hairstyles.
Comment by Marian Rainford on December 11 08:59
Of all the comments made there is only one voting for Cheryl ! So whos insane then? With all the vitriol that is in "the real Cheryl Cole " email, could it be Cheryl that posted it? I vote for Danni, Danni, Danni.
Comment by INSANE !! on December 11 20:30
Absolutely Danni - she's stylish, friendly, much more classy
Comment by Fede on December 14 13:53
Dannii definately! Cheryl has had some weird disasters this year. Dannii rocked.
Comment by tracy on December 14 14:20
Dannii hands down...she looks good and has a figure (unlike the hipless barb...oops I mean Cheryl).
I can't make up my mind what is more fake with Cheryl her uber made up outside, or her uber made up personality.
Comment by Lilly on December 14 18:06
Cheryl is absolutely gorgeous... but then again, so is Dannii (I always fancied Dannii more than Kylie!) - but style-wise? There's only one winner... and I'm glad to see that the majority of posters aren't nuts and have voted for Dannii.
Dannii - stylish, classy, elegant.
Cheryl - bizarre (not in a good way), over-the-top (not in a good way), ridiculous (ummm... don't think you can have a good way ridiculous, can you?!)
Comment by TomHartPhotographyCoUk on December 15 01:31
Danni is the winner, she looks amazing this season with such versatility. She really upped her game and appears very happy which gives her an added beauty.
Comment by aohalloran on December 15 18:47
Danni please stay. You are level headed and a fair judge. Cheryl is sometimes too sweet and needs to stand on her own without constantly looking at Simon for the ok. Maybe Cheryl should no longer sit beside Simon. Louis get a grip and be less negative because you are a nice guy. Simon you are the best (except when you are undkind)
Comment by Angy on December 18 18:53
Cheryl is the winner for me.. Not only do i love her style but i love her song 2fight for this love" as well. Although there has been times were i have liked Dannii's style to. lol
Comment by Amy on December 22 16:24
Danni obviously. Cheryls beginning to get more and more frustrating and cant put my finger on why exactly...
She's Britians 'Sweet Heart' but her fashion disasters this year were whole heartedly embaressing to watch...
Danni for the Win :D
Comment by Rachel on December 23 10:16
CHERYL....is definitely the winner for me!!!
She is beautiful, elegant, and is unique in a gud way!!!
I don't see why dannii should win....to be honest i do like dannii and she is pretty and so our her clothes...but cheryl is well better for me!!!
Comment by butterflygem77 on December 26 12:57
To Cheryl Cole is perfect!!! How can you say Cheryl is naturally beautiful ?? She has fake hair, fake eyelashes, fake boobs and she has her teeth done. Its only because shes younger than Danni that people are silly enough to think she is natural !!
Everyone finds different things attractive so theres no need to be nasty or physco about it.
For me Danni wins hands down !!
Comment by Kyles on February 23 12:44
i think cheryl is very pretty but i think dannii has a more striking bold look. i think dannii probably more fashionable.
Comment by imogen on May 01 13:55
I hate it that either Danni or Cheryl have to win. I think there both equally beautiful and where all arguing about nothing!
Comment by Annie on May 29 15:55
I think both girls are great.
I hope Dannii comes back soon, come on Dannii
Comment by Janice on August 29 22:45
Danni by a million miles has the class and looks Cheryl can only dream of. Danni is a Lady through and through whereas Cheryl still has not got rid of her roots
Comment by HGS on October 09 17:38
Cheryl is and will always be my X-Factor style winner she is stunning and her outfit choices are on-trend, sexy and fabulous for her figure and age.My fav was her HMH Couture dress and I have just purchased the exact dress from designerdesirables.com LOOOVESIT!
