Too cool for school: Cher Lloyd says her 'unhappy' critics just have 'insecurities' - and reveals her bizarre crush on Mr Bean

By Nadia Mendoza


Tattooed tearaway: She's not even 18, but feisty Cher Lloyd has a mature attitude


Most teenagers would crumble at the barrage of backlash Cher Lloyd has received.

But the little fighter has hushed her critics by saying they're just 'insecure'.

The Malvern pop princess says the only reason people are so quick to bully her is because they're 'unhappy' themselves.


But with Simon Cowell's support, nearly half a million Twitter supporters and a debut album on the way, she is the one having the last laugh.

Cher, soon to be 18, even addressed the issues in her first single Swagger Jagger, singing: 'Hi hater/ Kiss kiss/ See you later.'

Having catapulted into the spotlight by coming fourth on last year's X Factor, the petite star has matured beyond her years.

She said: 'Some people find it hard to come to terms with the fact that everyone is different.

'I think it all boils down to their own insecurities - if you’re unhappy with yourself, you’re going to pick on someone else, and that’s what they’re doing. I feel sorry for them.'

Speaking of her upcoming track, she said: 'There are certain lines in the song that basically explain that, no matter what I do, people won’t stop writing about me and talking about me all the time.

'I’m still in people’s minds, whether they like me or they hate me.'

Cher said she still speaks to Syco boss Cowell, saying: 'We have a really good relationship - it’s a truthful one.

'If there’s anything that he doesn’t feel will benefit me or lead me in the right direction, he’ll give me advice, which is the whole reason I went to the show - for his advice.

'To see whether I was good enough. He’s like an uncle. Uncle Si!

'Yeah, I do text him. I never put kisses though! Always a smiley face.'

Cheeky: Singer has a lot of attitude and has learned to ignore her 'haters'

She also credited her fans with giving her strength, adding: 'It’s really good. I call them my brats because they’re feisty.

'I don’t even have to open my mouth - they do it for me. I couldn’t do it without them.'

Cher also revealed her latest bizarre crush, telling Bliss: 'I’ve got a crush on Mr Bean.

'But not the actual actor (Rowan Atkinson) - the character. If I could have a boyfriend like that for a day, I think I’d be very, very happy, because he doesn’t speak does he?

'He’s just like "Teddy, teddy". I’ve got his name in one of my songs - it goes, "Please don’t say a thing, Mr Bean." Its great isn’t it?'

After triumphant Swagger Jagger performance at T4 On The Beach, Cher Lloyd goes back to basics with new track Superhero

By SARAH BULL


Triumphant: Cher Lloyd wowed with her performance of new single Swagger Jagger at T4 On The Beach today


Her debut single may have been slated before it has even been released but Cher Lloyd didn't let that stop her performing to the very best of her ability at T4 On The Beach today.

The 17-year-old singer bounded on to the stage in Weston-Super-Mare wearing a tiny pair of black shorts and a skeleton printed T-shirt as she performed Swagger Jagger to the cheering crowd.

Cher's triumphant performance came just hours after she released a video clip of a track called Superhero, believed to be the teenager's next release from her upcoming album.


Excited: Cher looked delighted as she took to the stage


The former X Factor star goes back to basics with the acoustic song, showcasing her talent perfectly as she performs the track while sitting on a bed, with only a guitarist as her musical accompaniment.

The new song could have been prompted by the fact that Cher won huge praise when she belted out Shakespear's Sister hit Stay on The X Factor, with the judges telling her it suited her when she stripped things back and showed off her vulnerability in her music.

Today Cher wowed the crowds at T4 On The Beach with her energetic performance of Swagger Jagger.


She's got some swagger: Cher sang into a fluorescent pink microphone


Showered: Cher was showered with yellow confetti as she performed


Unique: Cher wore a pair of black shorts and a skeleton-print T-shirt for the event


Quirky: Cher teamed her outfit with a pair of bright pink boots

A close shave: Cher Lloyd shows off her new shaved hairstyle as she launches her pop career

By Daily Mail Reporter


Scroll down to watch the video of Cher Lloyd's debut single

New look: Cher Lloyd shows off her new partially-shaved hairstyle as she arrives at the Channel 4 studios in London today


With her new debut solo single coming out, Cher Lloyd is hoping to make an impact on the charts.

So what better way to get maximum publicity by changing hew look to coincide with the release of her single.

Heading to the Channel 4 studios today, the 17-year-old showed off her new partially-shaven hairstyle.

Looking like a pop star? Lloyd teamed her new hairstyle with a preppy ensemble and Doc Martin boots


Perhaps in a bid to be taken more seriously as an urban artist, the Malvern-raised singer has taken a razor to the right side of her head.

But fashionistas may think Lloyd is a tad behind the times with this style, which came to prominence among urban singers two years ago.

American R&B singer Cassie shaved her part of her long locks off in April 2009, followed by Rihanna a few months later.

In January 2010, Will Smith's daughter Willow also shaved her hair, with ex-Spice Girl Mel B and her daughter Phoenix following suit a few weeks later.

Hair today, gone tomorrow: Lloyd sported long, dark extensions during her time on The X Factor (left) and dyed her hair red on the tour earlier this year (right)


Since leaping to fame as a contestant on last year's X Factor, Lloyd has loved to experiment with her fame.

While on the show, she wore long brunette hair extensions, with a briefly flirtation with red hair dye for a few weeks.

During the X Factor Live tour earlier this year, she returned to a red - but more of a Ronald McDonald hue.

Lloyd is currently promoting her debut single Swagger Jagger, with the video premiering online last week and has already received over 2million hits.

The Tease Factor: Cheryl Cole's protégé Cher Lloyd taunts fans with a taster of debut video, by posting just eight seconds online

By Nadia Mendoza


Attitude: Cher Lloyd wears extensions in her new video Swagger Jagger


Cher Lloyd has posted a teaser of debut single Swagger Jagger online, but is keeping the storyline well and truly under wraps.

The X Factor star released an eight second montage from the video, keeping fans on their toes by revealing very little detail.

The clip kicks off with the Malvern teenager popping her Sony walkman into her pocket, along with a quick glimpse of some jewellery on her fingers.

The 17-year-old has two rings, both of which are a duplicate of Scrabble board pieces, with one printed with 'C' for Cher and another with 'L' for Lloyd.


In another scene, Cher is dressed in preppy beige trousers, a stripey shirt and a bowtie.

She completes the look, reminiscent of an American fast-food chain worker, with a red denim waistcoat, complete with her name emblazoned on it, which highlights her petite frame.

The pop princess is also seen strutting down the street in grey jogging bottoms and a leather jacket.

Malvern magic: Cher pouts into the camera as she embarks on her solo career


Her hair extensions, tinged blonde at the bottom, hang over her shoulders to reveal a huge pair of bling earrings and a chunky chain.

Last night, Cher tweeted: 'From 8am tomorrow there shall be a teaser of my video (swagger jagger) on my official website! Make sure you check it out!♥ ta (:'

Leader of the pack: Cher shows off her moves with a team of backing dancers in her trail


The audio for Cher's track was slammed by critics when it leaked last week.

Even British chart-topper Example muscled in on the action, saying: 'Cher Lloyd's single has been leaked. The biggest crime since she got a record deal.'

He added: 'It’s all manufactured which is fine, cause that’s what a lot of pop music is. but they could have put her in with all the best songwriters in the world but the best they could come up with is “get on the floor floor floor, get on the floor” and “Swagger Jagger” which means absolutely nothing.

'So I think its back to the drawing board for her and her record label.'

But Cher is proving to be a tough little creature, defending herself by tweeting: 'Well we all knew I'd get mixed reviews! I'm still proud, my dream came true. Thanks for all the support! Xxxx'

The full video will be released in one week.
