Cher Lloyd

X Factor Finalist

Cher Lloyd is the 17 year old singer from Malvern, Worcestershire who amazed the judges on her X-factor audition after singing an awesome version of Soulja Boy's Turn My Swag On.

At bootcamp she sang Coldplays "Viva la Vida" (a more rap style than the original) and again progressed to the judges house. However, she struggled to perform in front of Cheryl Cole due to a throat infection and for a while it looked like the end of the line. Cheryl gave her a chance though and put her through to the live stages of the X-Factor and was proven correct after Cher gave a fantastic performance covering "Just Be Good To Me".

Cher has attracted much attention in the press both good and bad and continues to be the Marmite of the competition- love her or hate her, you can't help but watch her!

Despite her fantastic performances, it was not enough to save her from the public, and Cher was voted out - placed a valiant 4th.
