Sixteen year old Cher Lloyd from Malvern, Worcestershire, failed to make it into the final three last night on the X factor despite having constant support from the four judges each week. Cher became a favourite to win after her first audition in which she sang Keri Hilson’s version of ‘Turn my Swag On’ by Soulja Boy. She achieved immediate success and fame from her fist audition and now has over 15 million hits on YouTube. Cher was a favourite to win after her fist audition however the Gamu incident at boot camp affected her fan base massively (scroll down to read about the Gamu incident). But despite this unpopularity, Cher still managed to make it into the final four saying that she was ‘very lucky to have made it this far’ however did confess that she ‘did expect to be going’ and she knew she was not going to win the competition because she is ‘the rapper’. Cher has recently admitted that she is ‘a bit like marmite’ because ‘people will either love me or hate me’. It is clear from the many twitter messages that many people believe Cher to be a ‘brat’ however she did, and still does, have many loyal supporters who have loved her ever since her first spectacular audition.
It is clear that Cher has star quality and it looks as though she will not be disappearing from our television screens for too long because she is a highly ambitious young girl who is sure to sell records and receive a recording contract even after failing to win to show this year.
You can watch Cher's first audition below and the press conference that the four remaining acts gave last week.
