X Factor Judge Tulisa Contostavlos wants to succeed where Cheryl Cole failed

X Factor judge and singer Tulisa Contostavlos is reportedly hoping to do one better than Cheryl Cole and break the States.

The N-Dubz star is set for chart success this weekend with her first solo single ‘Young’, which is expected to debut at number one.

“She’s ridiculously excited about her new music. She thinks it’s the best stuff she’s ever done and believes it could go far in America,” a source close to Tulisa tells Star magazine this week.

The source continued: “Tulisa knows Cheryl never managed to make it over there, but she says: ‘So what? We’re different people – I might do it’.

“She thinks she has a better chance than Cheryl of success there because her music is more urban and treat.”

Tulisa will release her first solo album later this year, and given the response to her first solo single, the album is expected to be a huge hit.
