16-year-old Cher Lloyd wowed The X Factor judges with her rendition of Soulja Boy\u2019s hit \u2018Turn My Swag On\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"Cher<\/p>\n

The performance led to a standing ovation from the audience and won high praise from Simon Cowell and fellow judges Louis Walsh, Cheryl Cole and guest judge Natalie Imbruglia.<\/p>\n

Cheryl Cole said: \u201cYou are right up my street! You are actually my favourite audition so far. Little bit of attitude there, I like it.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an interview with The Sunday Mirror, Cher Lloyd admitted that she loves Cheryl and enjoys the fact that many people think she resembles her.<\/p>\n

She said:<\/p>\n

\u201cI admire her \u00adfashion, her looks and I even have a tattoo of a \u00admusical note like hers on my hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not even old enough to have a tattoo, but I have three. I know it\u2019s naughty. It\u2019s funny when people say I look like her \u2013 we\u2019re \u00addifferent, but I\u2019ll take it as a compliment.\u201d<\/p>\n

On her hopes for the future she added:<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to be the \u00adfemale equivalent of Dappy in N-Dubz. I can sing as well as rap, but I\u2019d love to become a world-famous \u00adrapper, so that\u2019s what I hope to achieve from the show.\u201d<\/p>\n

But she has no plans to sing any songs by her namesake Cher. She said:<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I am named after Cher. I do know a few of her songs, but I\u2019d draw the line at wearing a Cher outfit to a fancy dress party. Not cool.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Cher was given the thumbs-up by the panel on Saturday Night, she was quickly installed as the 5\/1 favourite to win the entire contest. A spokesman from Ladbrokes, told OK Magazine, “Cher impressed Cheryl and the punters definitely took the bait. They seem to love her and she’s definitely the stand-out act of the series so far.”<\/p>\n

Cher, from Malvern in Worcestershire, discussed her new found fame on the ‘This Morning’ show, saying, “It’s a bit weird I’d say. Because you’re walking down the street and no one takes any notice of you, then all of a sudden it’s like ‘Are you from X Factor?’ I don’t know what to do with myself then”.
