Will.i.am describes Cheryl Cole as perfectionist ‘like Michael Jackson’

Will.i.am has compared Cheryl Cole’s work ethic to Michael Jackson’s by revealing they share a similar perfectionist streak.

The Black Eyed Peas star, who recently claimed he would like Cole to join him on BBC1’s The Voice, has been helping the Girls Aloud singer to relaunch her music career, and told the Daily Star Sunday that he has been impressed with her attitude in the studio:

“I can’t give too much away but Cheryl’s album is going to be big. Like Michael Jackson she is a complete perfectionist.

"Unless she is 100% happy with something she just won’t put it out there."

The 37-year-old, who also produced tracks for Cole’s 2009 debut, ‘3 Words,’ and 2010 follow-up ‘Messy Little Raindrops,’ then continued his praise, adding:

“She has got some of the biggest artists and producers in the industry to work with her, not just because she is talented but because everybody who meets her loves her.

“She is one of the most likable people in the industry and to be genuine is as important as talent.”

‘Call My Name,' the first single from Cole's new album, will be premiered on Radio 1 on Apr 20.
