Tinie Tempah backs Cher Lloyd

Tinie Tempah is backing Cher Lloyd in 'The X Factor'.

The 'Written In The Stars' rapper said although he's been most impressed with Cher in the reality show, but fears she is in too fragile a state to compete in the show.

Tinie told BANG Showbiz: "I've not watched much 'X Factor' at the moment, but I have seen Cher Lloyd and I want her to win."

Cher - who looks much like her mentor on the show, Cheryl Cole - has gained much support from the UK's hip hop community for her song choices, with have included a remix of 'Turn My Swag On' by rapper Soulja Boy featuring singer Keri Hilson, complete with rapped verses.

The rendition was even given the seal of approval by the artist himself, who posted a link to it on his twitter page and wrote "Bless this girl's heart".

American star Keri meanwhile wrote: "She def turned her swag on and Simon liked? I approve!"

Vocal coach Savan Kotecha says Cher Lloyd ‘could sell records’

X Factor vocal coach has heaped praise on finalist Cher Lloyd, saying that she has the potential to be a real star.

The song writer, who has previously worked with show stars Alexandra Burke, Leona Lewis, JLS and American Idol winner Carrie Underwood, raved about the 17 year old singer/rapper saying:

“Cher is so focussed. She could sell records.”



Savan also admitted that many of this year’s contestants could go on to be huge stars saying:

“This year’s bunch is pretty amazing. I’ve worked with winners from past years but this year they have proper artists. Some of them could go straight into the market.”

However Kotecha admitted that he and fellow coach Yvie Burnett do sometimes get stressed, trying to help the finalists adapt their songs.

He said: “Sometimes, the music you like is not what you should sing.”

X Factor’s Cher Lloyd Makes NME’s Annual ‘Cool List’

Yes, you heard right. Cher Lloyd has been included in NME’s annual ‘Cool List’.

The 17 year old rapper/singer who is on of the favourites to win the hit ITV1 show has been awarded a spot at number 66.

It was a surprise addition however NME backed up the choice by saying Cher is relevant and in-touch with exciting breaking music cultures”. Speaking about her audition performance of ‘Turn My Swag On’, he added: “Watching her ‘do her thang’ in front of monsieurs Walsh and Cowell’s dropped jaws genuinely felt a bit subversive and special.”

X Factor's Mary Byrne tries to keep up with trendy Cher Lloyd and Sophia Wardman in leopard print

As Cher, 17, teamed her skinny print jeans with black boots, a vest top and a velvet embellished jacket, Sophia went for a rock chick look with harem-style trousers, an Iron Maiden T-shirt and an aviator-type fur jacket.

Cher: 'I was sick of being shoved around'

Cher Lloyd has claimed that she entered X Factor because she was sick of being "shoved around".

The 17-year-old singer also revealed that she was not going to let any of her critics on the show bring her down.

Speaking in her video blog on the official ITV1 site, she said: "I went on the X Factor because I thought it was time for me to get out there and I was sick of being the one shoved in the corner. And now I ain't being shoved in the corner.

She continued: "I stay positive because I think if you start to think of all those negative things then it will just bring you down. And the people who are saying the negative things, if you react in the way that they want you to, then they are winning.

"I'm not prepared to let anyone bring me down and I'm very tough. I can take on anything that anyone's got to chuck at me... with a smile on my face."

X Factor star Cher wins through to next round

WITH Malvern’s X Factor sensation Cher Lloyd continuing to take the show by storm, her former performing arts teacher says she always knew she was destined to be a star.

Cher again wowed the judges and the voting public with an innovative performance of Jay Z’s Hard Knock Life to make it safely through to tomorrow’s (Saturday, October 23) third live show.

Her continued success comes as no surprise to Grace Elliott, who taught Cher at Dyson Perrins Sports College.

“I can remember her as far back as when she was in Year Seven and she has always been a little star,” she said. “She is just a natural performer and I am so glad that someone out there has noticed and given her this chance.”

She said Cher’s progress in the competition is the talk of the school.

“Everyone is following her progress quite intently,” she explained. “Cher’s success is an inspiration but that has always been the case since we first met her.

“We miss her at the school and we wish her every success.”

Cher’s performance last Saturday earned high praise from three of the four X Factor judges.

Simon Cowell told her: “I absolutely loved it. I see a future here, you are exciting and you take risks.”

Louis Walsh added: “You have a great attitude and swagger, you look like a little mini Cheryl (Cole), you look like a pop star.”

Cher’s mentor on the show, Cheryl Cole, said: “You look like a pop star, you sound like a pop star, your attitude is like a pop star, you are a pop star.”

Only Danni Minogue expressed any reservations, questioning the choice of song and saying she was less impressed than by Cher’s previous performance.

“Tonight it just didn’t work for me,” she said.

Cher’s father Darren, who again watched his 17-year-old daughter from the audience at The Fountain Studios in Wembley, said: “It was very good and I was extremely proud.”

N-DUBZ RAPPER DAPPY WANTS TO PERFORM WITH CHER

N-Dubz star Dappy has said that he's loving Cher on the X Factor and that he would like to perform with her after the competition.


X Factor 2010 star Cher Lloyd already has famous rapper fans with N-Dubz star Dappy declaring that the group think she's great.

The 23-year-old hip hop star said "We're absolutely loving The X Factor this year, especially Cher Lloyd," he said.

And the young rapper, real name Costas Dino Contostavlos, thinks the quirky contestant would be someone he would like to team up with.

He said: "Her performances have been really inventive. She's crazy and spontaneous, just like I am.

"Let's wait and see if we can do something together when she gets out of the show."

Cher Lloyd and One Direction 'already pop stars'

Teenager Cher has suffered from bad press ever since reaching the finals, but the crowd loved her performance of Hard Knock Life - complete with her now customary rap.


X Factor's Cher Lloyd is the future, according to Simon Cowell (PA)
Louis Walsh told her the choice of song was a big risk, but one that had paid off because of her attitude and swagger.

'I absolutely love the fact that you're doing what you like and you look like a pop star,' he said.

Simon Cowell echoed those thoughts and said he could see 'the future' in Cher, while Cheryl Cole went even further over the top in her praise.
.'You look like a pop star, you sound like a pop star, you dress like a pop star - you are a pop star,' she said.

Dannii Minogue provided the voice of reason and admitted she didn't think Cher's performance had really worked.

The judges also loved One Direction's version of My Life Would Suck Without You - and the screams suggested the teenage girls in the audience were equally appreciative.

Louis didn't like Simon's choice of song, but as a man who knows about successful boy bands, he liked what he saw and heard.

'Every schoolgirl up and down the country will love this band,' he claimed.

Simon added: 'You are in my opinion, the most exciting pop band in the country today. There is something absolutely right.'

The X Factor supremo had even bigger goals in sight for Diva Fever after their bizarre performance of Boney M's Gotta Go Home.

'I think that record will be number one on Sunday,' Simon predicted.

Rebecca Ferguson found herself described as Liverpool's next big star after a superb performance of Feeling Good, while Louis Walsh dubbed Treyc Cohen a 'little Tina Turner' following her version of Purple Rain.

X Factor contestants to cover David Bowie song for charity

The 16 contestants including Cher Lloyd, Katie Waissel, Storm, One Direction, Mary Byrne, and Wagner will record a version of the classic track Heroes.


Cash raised from the song will go towards building recovery centres for wounded soldiers.


Bowie originally released the anthem in 1977 but the song only reached number 24 in the charts.


Taken from the album of the same name, Heroes is one of Bowie's best-known songs and tells the tale of two lovers who meet at the Berlin Wall.


The Sun reports that glam rock icon Bowie knows about the X Factor plans.


Last month Robbie Williams, Gary Barlow, Alexandra Burke, Pixie Lott, Plan B, James Blunt, and The Saturdays played a charity gig for Help for Heroes.


The X Factor contestants' cover of Heroes is out on November 7.

Cher Lloyd & Rebecca Ferguson Sparkle - Katie Waissel & Aiden Grimshaw Suck

With the ecstatic audience baying for more - and bowled-over judges still wildly cheering Mary Byrne's brilliant attempt to paralyse a great Dusty Springfield song, I quietly took my leave and nipped off to commit suicide.

Mary's version of "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me" is still ringing in my ears. Like tinnitus. She's got a good voice has Mary. If only she'd make an effort not to go round murdering songs that are even bigger than she is.

OK. I couldn't stay to listen to all of last night's show. A few of Simon's wannabe superstars drove me to the safety of a locked bathroom. But a few were pleasantly surprising. In a masochistic sort of way. Like watching a car crash.

Belle Amie got the plaudits from the judges for kicking the life out of the great Ray Davies classic 'You Really Got me". If you missed it, shut your eyes and dream up a teeny girl with lipstick version of the Kinks. Thankfully, it was relatively painless.

Wagner is the Ann Widdecombe of the X factor. I like Ann. I quite like Wagner. But not on TV. He'd have gone down a bundle at Butlins in the 1950s.

Now then. Squint-eyed Rebecca Ferguson. The girl who is too shy to stick her tits out. She was rather good tonight in her purple dress with her purple lips. She did Liverpool proud. At first I thought she'd become a tiny bit Eartha Kitt-enish. Which would have been great. But she let me down cos she hasn't yet got the bottle. But she had a good night!

Unlike Aiden Grimshaw. Ouch! This was a horror story. His performance, a major crime scene!

Dear Aiden tried to sing John Lennon's 'Jealous Guy'. In fact he did sing a version of John Lennon's 'Jealous Guy'. In the course of giving a decent impression of an epileptic fit.

When he wasn't having a fit he was squirming about so much, I was convinced he was about to wet himself.

An embarrassment to watch. Excruciatingly toe-curling!

Talking of John Lennon, it looked as if little Aiden had brought his mummy along to make sure his hair was just-so!

John Adeleye I liked.

I also thought One Direction were singing to the right audience in the right programme. Pretty young boys driving pretty young girls wild with desire!

Treyc. Oh dear. Nice voice. It's her arse. Anyone with a backside the size of Asia minor should try to avoid wearing a tight dress like that. In spite of the creepy Cowell compliments, the dress just made things worse. For a minute I thought I was in Shepherd's Bush Market!

Which leaves Cher.

I didn't like her last night.

Her voice was too weak..

All the same it was a star performance!

The only one.

Cher's great.

She's still my tip to win!

It's A Hard Knock Life !

Last night cher sang one amazing song ! i love it and i hope you do to ! it was an amazing performance by the 17 year old

X Factor stars covering David Bowie for hero soldiers

Finalists on the hit television talent show X Factor are teaming up to release a single to raise money for injured servicemen and women.

The 16 acts - including performers such as Cher Lloyd and Mary Byrne - will record a cover of the David Bowie record Heroes.

Proceeds raised from the song - which was originally released in 1977 - are to go towards the Help for Heroes charity.

It is set to hit shelves on November 7th and the funds generated through its sales will be utilised to help the organisation collect the £44 million it requires in order to build recovery centres to help the rehabilitation of wounded troops.

And according to the Sun, the release is "a dead certainty" to make its way to the top of the UK singles chart.

Members of staff at Romans Lettings recently took part in an exercise bike fundraiser and generated around £1,600 for the Help for Heroes cause.

"Cher Lloyd Sprinkled With Stardust" Claims Peter Andre

Rock Superstar and one time Ant'n'Dec Jungle contestant, Peter Andre, has come out to declare X Factor wannabe Cher Lloyd is a young star in the making.

In an interview with influential Sydney Magazine "Hi There", Andre takes time out to tell fans down-under that Cher is about to become the hottest young singer on Planet Earth.

"Cher Lloyd's got that elusive Wow Factor", declares Andre talking exclusively via a satellite link to X factor dominatrix Dannii Minogue.

"At this stage in Cher's development, she reminds me of a Super Nova exploding in Outer Space", adds Andre. "By next month she'll have grown into a comet. Come Christmas she'll have an entire Galaxy all to herself".

In a separate interview, Simon Cowell responded to Peter Andre's prediction:-

"That might well be the case", says Cowell. "But there's still plenty of time for Cher to go bang. Explode all over the TV studio. And suddenly turn herself into a very tiny 'Black Hole', he explained.

"Only time will tell whether we've another Cheryl Cole on our hands".

"Or just another X Factor
wannabe".

Cher Lloyd addicted to...Pauls Boutique bags!

Now the X Factor hopefuls are getting papped, we've noticed skinny minnie Cher has developed a bit of an obsession with Paul's Boutique bags, particularly the loud zebra printed one.

Want a slice of Cher's style before she hits the bigtime and is gifted with, erm, multi coloured monogram Louis Vuitton? Head to Toppers, hand over £60 and swing your PB with pride.

Get Cher Lloyd's beauty look!

That is, if you really want to, of course...

As The X Factor rolls on, its contestants are becoming bigger celebrities in their very own right, and are reaching the status where they can dish out advice about anything and everything, and we'll gladly take it.

Unsurprisingly, girls have turned to Cher Lloyd with her bold make-up and bouffant 'do for her very best beauty tips. Cher took some time out to answer this question in the weekly X Factor blog, and do you know what she said?

"Thanks for the question about how I do my hair and make up, I am gonna be dead straight, I just shove it on and hope for the best. If it is all down my face I just get a wipe and bob's your teapot, there you have it, hair and make up is done."

We don't know much about Bob's teapot, but the fact that she simply shoves it on doesn't surprise us TOO much...

However, we know there are some girls that will still be dying to achieve her look, and simply sighing in despair over just how vague her beauty tips really are.

So get your pink lipstick and false eyelashes at the ready, because beauty guru Sara Walker has done a step-by-step video tutorial...

This lady does have the added advantage of looking a bit Cher-esque as it is, but as much as we often tend to shy away from over-doing our make-up, the tutorial shows us how to get this bold look just right. Meaning a lower risk of disaster!

Will you be trying to get Cher Lloyd's beauty look, or are you more an advocate of au naturale? Comments, please...

hi everyone, i am so sorry that i have not been doing the source for a while but from now on i will post every single thing that i find :)

A pocketful of dreams: The tattoo Cher Lloyd hopes will help her secure the X Factor title

She may be a bit on the young side to have them but controversial X Factor contestant Cher Lloyd already has three tattoos.
And as she left rehearsals yesterday ahead of this weekend's live show, the 17-year-old gave a glimpse of her usually hidden second inking.
Wearing a rolled-up checked shirt and cropped tracksuit bottoms, the Worcestershire teen's lengthy etching 'Bolsillo Lleno De Suenos' was clearly visible along her right arm.
The tattoo is Spanish for 'pocketful of dreams' - a lyric from the Jay-Z and Alicia Keys duet Empire State Of Mind.
Her ex-boyfriend Alex Wallis - who split from Cher in August - said: 'She doesn't speak Spanish, she just thought it looked pretty and loved that song.'
Her Spanish etching joins her two other tattoos - a music note on her left hand and a bow on her lower back - which she has yet to reveal in public.

Her mentor Cheryl Cole noticed the teen's music note design back at her original audition in June and commented that they both had tattoos in the same places.
Cheryl has a Polynesian Maori design on her left hand, which can look similar to a music note.
In a recent interview, Cheryl-lookalike Cher admitted she loves the comparisons between her and her idol.
Cher said: 'I admire her ­fashion, her looks and I even have a tattoo of a ­musical note like hers on my hand.
'I’m not even old enough to have a tattoo, but I have three. I know it’s naughty.

'It’s funny when people say I look like her – we’re ­different, but I’ll take it as a compliment.'
Despite Cher's three tattoos, British law states it is an offence to tattoo anyone under the age of 18 unless for medical reasons.
Meanwhile, Mrs Cole revealed her protegee is 'terrified' of the live shows and she really struggled to convince the wannabe to take to the stage following her negative press.
But Cher sailed through to the second live show after impressing the judges and public with her performance of Just Be Good To Me.

Video Time Cher :)

here is a video i found a news report on cher saying she had collapsed backstage and started screaming at people who went by, but as you would think that is just some made up story to see how cher would feel under presure. but we all no are cher is going to be just fine when they call her name as the winner in a couple of weeks time as the winner of x factor 2010

Pressure gets to skinny Cher

THE pressure seemed to be getting to skinny Cher Lloyd as she headed to a studio this morning.
The 17-year-old X Factor hopeful looked strained as she put her head in her hands on her way to rehearsals.

And Cher, who is being mentored by Cheryl Cole in the show, appeared thinner than ever.

The teen, from Malvern, Worcs, looked tiny in a pair of bright pink skinny jeans.

Last week thousands of X Factor fans reacted with fury after Cheryl put her through to the live rounds despite messing up her performance at judges' houses.

But the hip hop fan has one reason to smile - as she's got the backing of N-Dubz, who say they want to work with her.

Rapper Dappy told Zoo magazine: "We're absolutely loving The X Factor this year, and one girl in particular: Cher Lloyd. That girl is seriously gangster and has some sick swagger."

He added: "I read in a magazine she compares herself to a female version of me, and I take that as a massive compliment. She's crazy and spontaneous, so she's definitely like me.

"Team N-Dubz is right behind her to win. We'll have to see if we can do something together when she gets out of the show."

Meanwhile, another of Cheryl's acts, Katie Waissel, had a smile on her face today despite nearly getting the boot on Sunday night.

The blonde, who survived a sing-off with FYD, donned some dark-rimmed specs as she went out in Covent Garden.

Her mum Diana told The Sun today how she was worried about the backlash against her daughter after she and Cher edged out popular Gamu Nhengu from the live

X Factor 2010: Cher and Katie the pop stars in training look ready for their big moment as they arrive at studios ahead of first live show

If they are feeling nervous about tonight's live show then Katie Waissel and Cher Lloyd certainly know how to put on a brave face.
The X Factor finalists looked as though they didn't have a care in the world as they were snapped arriving at rehearsals in London today.
They flashed beaming smiles at the waiting cameras as they sipped on soft drinks and walked into the studio in Wembley where the live show will take place tonight.

Katie, 24, and 17-year-old Cher looked happy and relaxed as they arrived to prepare for the show on ITV tonight.
Arm-in-arm, the girls looked as though they have become quite close since making it through to the next round.
They are both in the same group of three girls - including Liverpudlian Rebecca Ferguson - being mentored by Cheryl Cole, so it's not wonder they have become friends.

They also took pictures of themselves and the waiting cameras on their mobile phones as they started to soak up the pop star treatment.
Cher also stopped to blow kisses at the cameras as she walked past.

They were even dressed to impress in their funky superstar attire, with Cher flaunting a pair of skinny pink jeans, a black leather jacket and on-trend over-the-knee boots.

The parents of X Factor star Cher Lloyd speak about the live TV shows

CHER Lloyd’s parents have spoken exclusively to your Worcester News about her stratospheric rise to fame.

Darren and Dinah Lloyd, who live in Malvern Link, left this morning for London to watch their oldest daughter perform live in front of millions of people on tonight’s X Factor.

It will be the culmination of months of auditions and Cher’s chance to show people that she is not, in her dad’s words, “a one-trick pony”.

Cher, aged 17, is the favourite to win the popular ITV show after wowing judges with her unique style and attitude – although her parents are still getting used to seeing their daughter in the papers.

Mrs Lloyd said: “It’s just amazing the hits she has had on YouTube. When we see her in the paper, we think, ‘We know that girl in the paper, we live with her’.”

Mr Lloyd said: “They’re saying now that she can break America.”

All this is just months after she was a runner-up in local competition Text Factor at Sin Bar, New Street, Worcester.

However, Cher almost didn’t enter and only submitted her X Factor application form at the last minute – and even then, she had a crisis of confidence.

Cher turned to her mum after six hours waiting to do her Birmingham audition and said: “There are thousands of people here. I don’t think I’m going to get through”.

But Mrs Lloyd – who admits she was petrified before her daughter began singing Soulja Boy’s Turn My Swag On – convinced her to go ahead. Mrs Lloyd said: “She thought she would not get anywhere.”

But she did – and it meant the family having to keep a huge secret for many months, and then going through the stress of seeing their daughter come down with tonsillitis during her audition at judge Cheryl Cole’s home.

Mrs Lloyd said her throat infection had been so bad that she was unable to tell them the good news that she was through to the final 12.

She said: “I couldn’t hear her when she called. When she told me, I just burst into tears and we just went hysterical.”

Cher herself has reassured fans that she is no longer suffering from tonsillitis, and is ready to show X Factor fans that she’s got what it takes. The teenager promised viewers they would see a different side of her tonight and that she was now “completely tip-top”.

She said: “It is very unfortunate that I was ill at that time but there is nothing I can do about it now.

“Hopefully, come Saturday, people will think, ‘Oh, actually, she has picked herself up’ and that is what I’m going to do because I’m a fighter.

“Off stage, I’m very, very nervous but as soon as I step on, that is it and I click.”

And she laughed off claims she was just a copy of her mentor Cheryl Cole, saying: “I don’t have to try to be different to her because I’m my own person and I dress how I want to dress.”

Meanwhile her family – who were speaking at their local pub the Express Inn in Quest Hills Road, Malvern Link, yesterday – has called for the community to get behind Cher and get voting.

Mrs Lloyd said: “This has been her dream for a long time. It would be amazing if people from her hometown got behind her to help make that dream come true.”

Cher Lloyd slams weight critics

X Factor favourite Cher Lloyd has hit back at critics claiming she is 'frail' and has an eating problem, insisting she back to full health and will come out fighting at this weekend’s live shows.

The singer faced criticism over the weekend, when, after a disastrous performance during the ‘judges houses’ stage of the show, was put through by Cheryl Cole ahead of African contestant Gamu Nhengu.

After being branded ‘a risk’ by Cheryl, Cher has dismissed claims she’ll drop out of the show, slamming ‘evil’ critics and who’ve cast doubt over her weight.

Despite her tiny frame, she insists she’s still eating, and has chicken restaurant Nando’s ‘on speed dial’.

'I am eating. There is no problem. Of course I am eating I wouldn’t be able to perform if I wasn’t,’ she told The Metro.

But she did admit that frustration got to her during the show last weekend, when she could hardly sing, and ended up in tears.

'At judge’s houses it wasn’t the pressure that was affecting me it was frustration. I knew I could smash that song, she said.

'Off stage I am very nervous but as soon I as I get on stage then it is different. I will be fine.'

Cher Lloyd 'on the same diet' as Cheryl Cole

Cher Lloyd is reportedly on the same diet as X Factor mentor Cheryl Cole.

The 17-year-old is said to be following an eating plan that the Girls Aloud star once tried.

'When the other girls asked Cher how she stays so thin she told them she eats for her body type,' an insider tells Now.

'The Eat Right 4 Your Type diet is something Cheryl once swore by.'

It's not the only thing Cher and Cheryl, 27, share in common.

'What freaked everyone out was when she admitted she had a tattoo inked on her hand after seeing Cheryl's,' adds the insider.

'She plays it down, but she's kind of obsessed with her.'

Cher Lloyd Has A Celebrity Fan Already!

Cher's got the support of former X Factor contestant Diana a Vickers who believes in Cheryl's instinct, one hundred percent.

The singer told the Sun: "When you see a spark in someone and you are drawn to them, you should just go with your gut instinct - and that is what Cheryl did.

"As a singer, when you're nervous and under pressure and in a difficult situation, like in the X Factor, you have to put aside that she has a sore throat and accept that she is only human."

Although Diana understands why Cheryl put Cher through, she doesn't think the 16-year-old can win it and is putting her money on Dannii's contestant, Matt Cardle.

She said: "I really like Matt - he's my favourite. I think he will win it! Although you never know for certain at this stage, people grow."

Cher Lloyd faces the rap on The X Factor

Cher Lloyd’s achievement of making it to the final 12 in X Factor has been somewhat overshadowed by viewers claiming Gamu Nhengu should have gone through.

Despite failing to sing at the final audition due to throat problems, judge Chery Cole has defended her decision to pick Cher saying she gets a real “buzz” from watching her perform.

Now the pint-sized Cheryl lookalike is determined to silence her critics…

She has high ambitions to stand out in this year’s show with her rap led performances, telling Star magazine: “I want to be the female equivalent of Dappy in N-Dubz. I can sing as well as rap, but I’d love to be a world-famous rapper so that’s what I hope to achieve from the show.”

Proving she is not a one trick pony, Cher has also hinted that she may showcase a country track on the show, with Dolly Parton being one of her favourite artists.

The tears she showed at Judges’ Houses indicated just how vulnerable the seventeen year old is, but she certainly has a feisty side to match up to her rap image and according to Star, was once suspended from school for fighting.

Cher has found a friend and role-model in mentor Cheryl Cole and has been a massive fan of the singer for years. She admits to emulating her style saying: “I even have a tattoo of a musical note like Cheryl’s on my hand. I’m not even old enough to have a tattoo, but I have three. I know it’s naughty.”

It’s a case of second time lucky for the young hopeful as she previously auditioned for the show when she was 14 but failed to make it to Boot Camp.

Steve Brookstein: 'I felt for Cher Lloyd'

Steve Brookstein has said that he felt sympathy for The X Factor's Cher Lloyd after she fell ill at Judges' Houses.

The series one winner said that Lloyd deserved to make it to the live shows even though she failed to perform her audition song in full due to a throat infection.

Speaking about his time on the reality show, Brookstein claimed that he fell ill during the first week of live shows and relied on support from the public who had seen his earlier auditions.

"I felt for her," he wrote on his London 24 blog. "Up until this week's voice problems she had been singing great.

"I had laryngitis on week one of the live shows and was forced to sing in falsetto. In rehearsals, I had been belting out 'When A Man Loves A Woman' in full voice and was feeling very positive, but after my live performance I was inconsolable. Luckily people remembered my 'Dance With My Father' performance in Boot Camp and still voted for me.

"I have no problem with Cher going through, and I'm actually excited about seeing her on top form."

Brookstein had less kind words for Lloyd's show rival Katie Waissel, arguing that her emotional breakdown in her final audition was a "nonsense excuse".

"She isn't even that good a singer. She messed up on her first audition and has done nothing since to convince me or explain why she deserves her place in front of either Treyc or Gamu," he said. "Now there are revelations about her past and her music industry connections that leave me very uncomfortable."

Frail Cher hits dance

SKINNY Cher Lloyd headed to the dance studio this morning - despite fears for her plumetting weight.
The quirky brunette, who controversially made it through to the live finals of The X Factor, has been looking increasingly frail over the past few weeks.

But she'll still have to practise her erergetic routines for the show along with the other contestants, despite the fact that it could make her even skinnier.

And she looked happier today than she's done in recent days, giving a small smile for snappers.

The 17-year-old hopeful, who was chosen as one of Cheryl Cole's three acts for the live shows despite completely fluffing her performance at judges' house, has defended her place in the final 12.

She told X Magazine: "I know I didn't do too well at Cheryl's house, but I do deserve to be in the show. I know what I'm capable of, I just need to work at it."

Cher, who went through ahead of note-perfect singers like Gamu Nhengu and Treyc Cohen, has disappointed viewers since her first audition but says her debut performance wasn't a fluke.

She said: "I'm not a one-trick pony - I'm not just the white girl that raps. I'm no Whitney, I'm no Beyoncé, but there's lots I can do.

"It's getting quite intense, but I'm more excited than nervous at this point."

Show bosses fear Cher may be unable to cope with the pressure of the show and have allocated the fragile teen her own trained counsellor to offer support 24 hours a day.

Stick-thin Cher Lloyd pops out for lunch... Red Bull and a fruit salad

Show insiders have made no secret of their concerns about Cher Lloyd's ability to cope with the pressures of the X Factor.
But as the stick-thin teen filled up with a fruit salad and caffeine-filled energy drink today, it seemed the worries may have fallen on death ears.
Hopefully supermarket worked Mary Byrne, 50, will make sure the 17-year-old gets a balanced meal.
Single mother Mary stocked up with two large bags of snacks including sandwiches, boxes of Pringles and snacks.

The lunch comes just days after viewers saw Cher struck down with tonsillitis at the crucial judges' houses stage of the show, leaving her future in the competition in jeopardy.
Cheryl Cole went with her 'heart' and backed her early favourite. But with weeks of gruelling rehearsals and draining live shows to come, Cher will need to keep her strength up if she is to repay that faith.

Cheryl admitted putting Cher through to the next stage was one of the 'hardest decisions' she had made on the show, as the 17-year-old was overcome with tears during the judges' houses stage of the competition.

However, the decision sparked fury amongst X Factor fans, who felt that the judgement should have been made on the performance that was screened as part of the Judges' Houses stage at the weekend.

There were also concerns that the wannabe was too emotionally fragile to cope with the pressures of continuing on the show after she was seen to breakdown before Cheryl and her friend, Black Eyed Pea's Will.I.Am.

Claude Knights, director of charity Kidscape, said: 'She's too vulnerable - further exposure seems quite risky and foolhardy.'

X Factor live shows 'to get shock wild card twist'

Viewers who tune in for tonight's ITV1 show will seemingly learn the fate of Cher Lloyd, Matt Cardle, Storm Lee and co after the judges' houses stage of the talent contest.


Simon Cowell is planning an X Factor surprise (PA)
According to the Daily Star, fans shouldn't worry too much if their favourite doesn't make the final 12, as it will not necessarily mean they are out.

Apparently, the 20 contestants will be invited to the first live show and Cheryl Cole, Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Dannii Minogue will be given the opportunity to choose one 'wild card' act each to re-enter the competition.

An X Factor source said Simon has been keen to spice up the format with 'wild card' finalists for several years and that he has now decided to implement what he expects to be a ratings-winning twist.
.'This is a major shake-up for the show and it's bound to upset the original 12 acts who were chosen at judges' houses,' they said.

'Cheryl's favourite' Cher Lloyd makes it through to the X Factor live shows despite sore throat and nerves

Her audition was Cheryl Cole's favourite of the series.
And it seems that first impressions really do count, after Cher Lloyd won a place in The X Factor's live shows - even though she struggled to sing a single note in her latest performance.
Of course for many it was bad news, including an early favourite. It was a 'no' from Cheryl for Zimbabwean singer Gamu Nhengu, who had won many fans with her quirky singing style.

And Cheryl admitted that putting Cher through to the next stage was one of the 'hardest decisions' she had made on the show, as the 17-year-old was overcome with tears during the judges' houses stage of the competition.

Has bookies' favourite Cher ruined her chances? Teen suffers throat infection at crucial moment on X Factor

She is without doubt the bookies' favourites to win this year's X Factor.
But a throat infection could have cost Cher Lloyd as the heartbroken chart hopeful broke down sobbing while performing for Cheryl Cole during the judges' houses stage of the show.

And while many had assumed she would sail through to the live performances, her failure to perform has left her future in doubt.


The 17-year-old began complaining of a sore throat hours before her performance in front of Cheryl and her friend, record producer Will.I.Am and spoke on camera about seeing 'white stuff' on her tonsils.

Barely a few bars into her song, Cher began to break down, speaking the words rather than singing.
Soon the distraught teen had stopped.

A sympathetic Cheryl, who also battled illness during her time on Popstars: The Rivals and has been one of Cher's biggest supporters since her first audition, gave her a hug, dried her tears, and encouraged her to have another go.


But Cher couldn't cope, stopping moments into the song, which saw her far from top form.

'Do you want to come back later?' asked a concerned Cheryl.
But Cher whispered to her idol Cheryl: 'I'm done now, I'm done,' before turning and walking out.



Will.i.am tried to put himself into her shoes.
'Wow, I'm trying.. I'm 16 years old.'

The teen, from Malvern, Worcestershire, has already faced considerable obstacles in her journey to the X Factor.
Her troubled background includes several relatives who have had brushes with the law.
In 2001 one relative was jailed for six years for grevious bodily harm with intent and another admitted actual bodily harm after beating up a woman in the same incident, The People is reporting.
It claims another relative was banned for driving for three years after being caught drink driving. It was apparently his second driving ban in three months.

Cher Lloyd No Longer Has The X Factor According To X Factor Betting Odds

Cher Lloyd was the original X Factor favourite but after suffering a throat infection her performance in front of Cheryl Cole and Will I Am looks to have scuppered the 16 year olds chances of winning the competition.

After being available at 7/2 to win the X Factor betting she is now out to 13/2 with VC Bet and Betfred. She had two chances to get the song right and it now looks like she will not even progress in her category as the competition amongst the girls is so strong. Many viewers would think it unfair if she did make the cut as all the other girl contenders bar one produced faultless performances.

Rebecca Ferguson is now the shortest priced girl in the competition at 9/2 with Bet 365 and Boylesports. She has such a unique voice and was the star of the evening singing a brilliant version of Fireflies. Rebecca is just behind Matt Cardle in the outright betting for the X Factor, Matt is on offer at 3/1 with William Hill.

2010 X FACTOR LATEST BETTING ODDS FOR MATT CARDLE AND CHER LLOYD

There has been a slight reshuffling of the odds for the 2010 edition of X Factor but there aren't a huge amount of dramatic surprises aside from the fact that Cher Lloyd's price has dropped from 11/2 to 9/2 and that places her neck and neck alongside Gamu Nhengu and Rebecca Ferguson.

Matt Cardle's odds to win 2010 X Factor have also dropped slightly to a 5/2 margin and that's down from the 3/1 he was trading at for most of the week.

1 Direction can be backed at 11/2 and it's clear that they are definitely the group to beat at this point in time. Aiden Grimshaw is the only other genuinely competitive contestant with a 7/1 price being more or less unchanged from earlier in the week.

Katie Waissel is listed at 14/1 while former favourite Mary Byrne trades at 16/1 alongside Belle Amie and Nicolo Festa.

There are still some specials markets available on the show this year with Paddy Power and they've listed a 1/5 price on the X Factor winner to have the 2010 Christmas #1 single according to BBC Radio.

You can also lock in a 9/4 price on a live studio finalist to quit of their own accord and not return. That still seems plausible at this pint. Should one of the final twelve be accused of cheating and quit the show, you've got a 4/1 payout.

If Cheryl slaps Simon in the face during a live televised show, then you're only getting payed out at an 8/1 price. Simon Cowell is 10/1 to cry during any live performance.

SHOCK! X Factor favourite Cher Lloyd was suspended from school for catfight

X Factor favourite Cher Lloyd was once suspended from secondary school for getting into a fight with another girl.

The singer was ordered to stay at home for 3 days by heads at The Chase School in Malvern, Worchestershire, after the scrap.

But Cher, now 17, says the incident was blown out of proportion.

'She was suspended for a few days after a catfight at school,' an X Factor spokesman tells the Daily Record.

'She says she was the victim of bullying and was standing up for herself.'

Cher wowed the judges with the feisty Keri Hilson version of Turn My Swag On by Soulja Boy in her audition and is now a bookies' favourite to win the show.

‘Hysterical’ Cher Lloyd worries X Factor team

X Factor staff were said to be concerned for the wellbeing of Cher Lloyd, after she lost her voice at judges houses and became hysterical with worry about her performance.

The 16 year old from Malvern in Worcestershire was first seen impressing Cheryl Cole, Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Natalie Imbruglia at her initial audition, when she sang Turn My Swag On by Soulja Boy. On Sunday’s bootcamp show, Cher wowed Nicole Scherzinger with her original take on Coldplay’s Viva La Vida.



She sailed through to Cheryl Cole’s judges houses group, but soon began suffering from vocal strain and sources say that she spent ‘most of Friday night crying and moaning’ about her performance for Cole and Will.i.am.

An insider told The Mirror:

“All of the girls were sharing rooms and were coupled up together.

“Cher was supposed to be sharing with Katie Weissel but she spent most of Friday night crying and moaning because she was so nervous.

“There were a lot of tears from all the girls and then Cher started to lose her voice and she got even more hysterical. In the end she had to be moved from the others to calm her down.

“But this is just the beginning of the show really, and if Cher wants to win she needs to learn how to cope.”

Cher sparked similar concerns at bootcamp, when it was noticed that she was rarely eating and seemed terrified by the whole experience. At the time, a source told The Daily Mail:

‘Everyone was worried about Cher, she was extremely nervous and shaking at some points.

‘She is quite bolshy on stage, but she sat by herself at lunch. She didn’t eat much and looked frail and vulnerable as she was accompanied by a member of production.

‘If she gets through to the live shows next month – which she is a shoo-in for – she will have to be given a bit of extra special attention. She is very young.’

X Factor 2010: Simon Cowell allows Cher Lloyd to date Aiden Grimshaw!

Simon Cowell has denied reports that he placed a sex ban on his X Factor contestants.

Insiders had recently suggested that the show boss ordered hopefuls on the ITV show, to refrain from embarking on relationships with one another, though many suggested that teenagers Aiden Grimshaw and Cher Lloyd had ignored his ruling.

Cowell denied the rumours, telling Metro that while there is ‘some sort of control in there’, the contestants should be ‘making noise, having fun and going out’.



‘And I can’t tell people when they can and can’t have sex.’

‘They are entering the music business for all the right reasons, and that is not to sit in the library till three in the morning,’ he added.

This may turn out to be great news for Cher and Aiden, who have become ‘inseparable’ since they met at bootcamp.

A source told Star magazine:

“Cher had a crush on Aiden from the start but it took a few weeks for the feeling to become mutual.

“They are desperate to keep their romance a secret.’
