Billboard labelled Katy Perry as their woman of the year even though many including the pop star herself thought her year was last year (Double-Platinum album, equaling MJ's record of hits from one album etc.) but she was honored by British singer Cher Lloyd who performed an acoustic version of Perry's "E.T".
Still climbing up the steps to become America's favourite import from the UK, The petite singer who previously competed on X Factor UK back in 2010 alongside One Direction performed her new single Oath on the American version last night with newcomer Becky G.
Jamaican star Sean Kingston teams up with British pop princess, Cher Lloyd on a new track that surfaced, Rum & Raybans. It premeired on the singer's soundcloud page and it's currently not known whether it's an official single of his album, Back 2 Life but it seems to have got the thumbs up from mogul LA Reid who tweeted:
"Rum & Raybans is my favorite song right now. #BeEpic"
Was randomly roaming the net and came across a new Cher Lloyd which premiered on Z100 radio. Whether this will appear on her US release, I don't know but you can listen to her oath to you below:
Reminds me alot of Avril Lavigne during her prime.
We've had the likes of Beyonce, Nicki Minaj and even One Direction take on the Rockefeller Plaza in NYC but yesterday it was Cher Lloyd's turn!! The petite singer who has managed to add a US PLATINUM Top 20 hit to her CV performed hits from her upcoming US release of 'Sticks & Stones' which is to be released in October this year.
Watch how she fared below along with an interview:
In the space of nearly two years she grew from a normal teenager from Worcestershire aspiring to be a popstar to becoming one of the UK's most promising
global superstars. So as today is Cher's day, we'll be celebrating her growth as an
artist from her 2010 X Factor audition to her current quest to conquer the US.
Still on her way to the top, Cher Lloyd made her first ever national US TV debut last night on America's Got Talent. She performed her single, Want U Back which still sits within the top 10 on the iTunes charts (
keep on buying!!) with her debut album to be released in September. Watch how she faired below:
She did mention two months back that Snoop Dogg appears as a guest on the remix of Want U Back but she never really mentioned as to when of if it was to be released for us to hear but fear no more as the official version has landed on YouTube and is already making hit waves around the social media. Listen below:
Even though there isn't much changes to the song, Snoop Dogg still managed to add that little sass to it. I like it.
I'm guessing today is Queen Brat day as she joined AOL to perform a few songs such as Superhero, With Ur Love and I Don't Trust Myself. Watch her vocals shine below.
For iHeartRadio, confident Cher Lloyd had the courage to perform a cover of Robyn's Dancing on my Own on the streets of New York. She also did a performance for Want U Back which is currently at #51 on Hot 100!!! (US Brats keep purchasing the single!).
"I chose the Robyn song to perform because I really like her as an artist. She does inspire me and I just feel like many of her songs are so good.
"That one in particular was a dance track and then she did the version of it stripped down and I fell in love with it and that's why I like to do it." - Cher Lloyd
Teenage magazine, Seventeen were lucky enough to spend seventeen minutes with Cher LLoyd and ask her a few questions where she speaks about fashion, how her life changed after X-Factor and her beauty secrets. Have a read below!!
Cher Lloyd: He was my hairdresser! I had to walk downstairs to the salon and someone said to him, ‘Why don’t you walk her down to make sure the door doesn’t slam?’ So he walked me down and we got to talking. Then, he left his number at the front desk. He’s my first proper boyfriend and now we’re getting married!
17: How do you know when you’ve found a really good guy you should hold on to?
CL: That person becomes your best friend. I get embarrassed talking about it!
17: Let’s talk about fashion. How do you describe your style?
CL: It’s very different every day. I believe someone should be able to dress according to the mood they’re in. It shouldn’t be forced and you shouldn’t have to follow a trend. I rely on accessories: I love hats, chains and rings. If you have just an OK outfit, accessories can turn it into a WOW outfit.
17: Do you have any beauty secrets?
CL: Moisturize! Facial scrubs are always good. I used to have really bad skin, which made me struggle to feel confident. Then, I started using a face scrub and moisturizer and it helped a lot. My favorite moisturizer is Lancome Bienfair Aqua Vital.
You must be think is she back in the UK? No she's till promoting in America, its just a coincidence that they have a radio station with the same name. She performed a new cover by John Mayer and her current US single, Want U Back. Watch her sing below.
I actually wish for the best in her career. If she just sings and leaves her rapping skills in the past then I'm sure America would love her.
What do you think?
US Brats make sure you purchase 'Want U Back' on iTunes here!!
Billboard hooked up with Miss Cher Lloyd for a special acoustic session and a quick Q&A in which she speaks about her upcoming US release of 'Sticks & Stones'. Watch below:
Currently in the US in hopes to achieve her dreams as a global superstar, she stopped by to speak to Perez Hilton. They talk about X Factor and her opinions on the new judging panel, working with L.A. Reid, her album and many more. You can read some excerpts below or you can watch the video here:
Perez: Are you a big Britney fan?
Cher: I have always been quite a big Britney fan. There's something about her, and I think she's going to great. I think I'm excited to see her do [watch above].
Perez: Everybody will watch that first show. The real test will be well the liveshows; the first liveshow will be the real test, and then going after that. I just hope they prerecord. I do, because I don't think going live with Britney is going to be good anybody.
Cher: I do, which you know what, the beauty about live television is you make mistakes, and I love that. I do it all the time. I slur my words, I don't know what I'm talking about, it's great.
Perez: Very young. What has surprised you the most about being a successful recording artist now, and being famous?
Cher: What surprised me the most? I think what surprised me is its only say ten, 20% of the time, I get to be on stage, and that really makes me sad. But I understand, I understand there's lots of different things I have to do to make sure that people come and watch me on stage. But it's kind of like a thing that I, I have a love/hate relationship with. I want to be on stage more.
Perez: You actually like touring?
Cher: Yes, I love, I love singing live. I think that's the part that the real artist comes out in me.
Perez: Do you get nervous? You don't get nervous?
Cher: Oh yes, oh yes.
Perez: You do? But you still love it?
Cher: Extremely. Like I'm too completely different people. Backstage I am a nervous wreck, I'm actually nearly crying. And then as soon as my foot goes on thestage, that's it, I'm a different person.
