Cheryl wasn't the first artist to record 'Fight For This Love'...
When Cheryl Cole released her debut solo single 'Fight For This Love' it sent her career soaring. But did you know the song was originally recorded by Andre Merritt, the man who wrote it?

Andre Merritt was the first to record Cheryl's hit song.
Us neither. But it turns out co-writer Andre initially wanted the song for himself, before he realised giving it to Chezza would make it one of the biggest selling singles of 2009, that is.
A wise move, we reckon.
Still, Andre's version isn't half bad! Check it out here and let us know what you think!
Who's version do you prefer, Cheryl's or Andre's?

This is really good. His voice is really smooth... Another song could have been better though... but I still love it.

its ok...his voice is nice...nice tone but i prefer cheryl's i don't really no why but i do...her voice seems stronger than his and suits the song better...might even just be because I heard her do it fitrst that as soon as i hear the song i expect it to be her :)
