Cheryl Keeps Bursting Into Tears

Soft-hearted Cheryl Cole is making a habit of bursting into tears on X Factor.
She cried at the story of tonight's contestant Amy Connolly, 18, who was brought up by her dad after her mum died when she was seven.

Amy dedicated her performance of There You'll Be to him. And an emotional Cheryl said: "It sounds like you have been through a lot. I totally believed your performance."
Earlier in the series Cheryl wept because she was too upset to judge Nikk Mager.

Is this genuine, or do The producers want Cheryl to cry every week by allowing these sob stories?
