Certainly not feeling blue! Cher Lloyd sports double denim at G.A.Y. as she celebrates landing No. 1 then meets dozens of fans

By JODY THOMPSON

Sweet dreams: Cher Lloyd celebrated landing her first No. 1 single with debut Swagger Jagger last night at London's G.A.Y. nightclub

She's had her fair share of haters since she first appeared on last year's X Factor - but Cher Lloyd got the last laugh when she went straight to Number One tonight with her debut solo single.

The 18-year-old's Swagger Jagger knocked She Makes Me Wanna by fellow former X Factor contestants JLS from the top of the charts and into second place.


Teen star: Cher, who only turned 18 last week, celebrated early with a set at the club at Heaven


Cher celebrated earlier with a set at London's legendary club G.A.Y. last night, where she had worn skintight dark indigo blue jeans and a sleeveless royal blue blue denim shirt which she'd tied at her waist.

She was also sporting her now trademark glossy half-shaved hairstyle with her flowing locks to one side, and had accessorised her bright pink microphone with pink make-up and nails.


Big moment: Cher emerges from Radio 1's London studios after being officially declared Number One to greet her fans


After the set, club bosses treated her to a huge birthday cake with a giant Number One and her name and photo on it.

The star was then clearly blown away this evening when dozens of fans queued outside the Radio 1 studios in London where she was a guest as Reggie Yates announced she'd gone to Number One on tonight's Official Chart Show.



Overwhelmed: The youngster appeared to have tears of joy in her eyes as she chatted to Official Chart Show host Reggie Yates


Enjoying her moment: Cher spent time talking to fans and singing autographs


Despite the wind and rain, they all waited patiently for a chance to meet their idol.

Wearing a tan coloured skirt with white T-shirt and black tights and shoes. Cher seemed genuinely overwhelmed and appeared to have tears in her eyes as she chatted to Reggie.

The star said this evening: 'Having a number One was the best thing I could have asked for, I am so happy! I'm the happiest girl alive! Thank you for supporting me, and buying the single! This is the best thing that's ever happened to me!'


Prayers answered: Cher seemed thrilled to bits with her good news


Starting them young: Cher took time to greet some of her youngest fans too


Have a go: The X Factor contestant has not been afraid to confront her haters


Cool in cotton: The 18-year-old was rocking a double denim look of skintight black jeans and a blue sleeved shirt tied at the waist last night


Meanwhile, Cher's as-yet-untitled debut album, which will feature Busta Rhymes, Mike Posner and new British rapper Dot Rotten, comes out in November.

Swagger to the top: Cher Lloyd set to knock JLS from number one spot with debut single

By J J ANISIOBI

Maximum swagger: Cher Lloyd arrives at the signing of her new single, Swagger Jagger, at Westfield in London this week

X Factor finalist Cher Lloyd is favourite to take the number one spot in tomorrow's chart with her debut single, Swagger Jagger.

The 18-year-old singer and rapper is odds on to knock former X Factor compatriots JLS off the top spot after midweek results revealed she was top of the iTunes chart.

Even if her first release - which samples the melody from Folk Country song Oh My Darling, Clementine - makes it to number one, Cher says she has no intention of celebrating with a wild night on the town.


Turn my swag on: Cher admitted that she sometimes cries when dealing with negative comments


Go shorty, it's your birthday: Cher is greeted by a fan with a birthday balloon last month outside Sony's London headquarters


Speaking to the Sun newspaper, Cher said: 'I'll probably celebrate by having a night in with a Chinese and a glass of bubbly.'

Cher, who turned 18 last week, added that she may also buy herself a pair of Christian Louboutin's as worn by Victoria Beckham.

Despite the predicted success of her first single and plans to move to London later this year, Cher is keeping grounded with the help of her family.

She told the Sun: 'I'm still rough and ready. I've got a new job but that doesn't make me any different. I still have my mum, dad, brother and sisters.'


Love is in the air: Cher steps out with her new boyfriend, Craig Monk, at a Yorkshire service station last week


Craig, a trainee-hairdresser, met Cher when attaching her hair extensions in London's Mayfair.

Cher told the newspaper: 'It is serious. I'm in love. I've never spoken about Craig before but I think he's the bee's knees.'

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

Where DO you get your inspiration from? X Factor judge Tulisa copies Cheryl Cole as she dons hooded dress for T4 On The Beach

By SARAH BULL

Where do you get your inspiration from? N-Dubz star Tulisa Contostavlos wore a hooded dress similar in style to the ones Cheryl Cole wore back in 2010


They've got more than a little in common - they are two of the biggest names in music who have found themselves on the X Factor judging panel.

But it seems N-Dubz star Tulisa Contostavlos is following in Cheryl Cole's footsteps in more ways than one, after she was seen wearing a hooded dress similar in style to the ones favoured by Cheryl as she performed at T4 On The Beach today.

The 22-year-old singer took to the stage in Weston-Super-Mare today wearing a super-tight grey minidress, which she teamed with black shoe boots as she performed with N-Dubz.



Sexy: Tulisa showed off her figure in the sparkly silver dress as she performed with the group at T4 On The Beach in Weston-Super-Mare


However, the dress was very similar to the outfits sported by Cheryl when she was promoting her album 3 Words in 2010.

But Tulisa didn't seem to mind that she had taken fashion inspiration from the Girls Aloud star as she performed for excited fans.

Afterwards, she tweeted: 'Yeees T4 on the beach! SMASHED IT! NO MIMING! U know how we dooooo! Off home 2 feed the dog n cook dinner haha x'


That's what you call short! Tulisa displayed her enviable legs in the dress, which she teamed with black shoe boots


Tulisa was named one of the judges on the new X Factor UK panel earlier this year alongside Louis Walsh, Gary Barlow and Kelly Rowland.

But Cheryl showed there were no hard feelings about the singer replacing her on the panel when she invited Tulisa to her 28th birthday party in London earlier this month.

The N-Dubz singer previously revealed that her predecessor sent her flowers to say good luck on her first day on the job and the two soon became friends.


Working it: Tulisa performed some of the group's best-known tracks with the rest of N-Dubz, incluing Playing With Fire


Going down well: One dancer certainly seemed pretty appreciative of Tulisa's outfit as she danced away


X Factor host Dermot O'Leary said recently he was excited for people to see the new X Factor panel when the show starts later this year.

Describing the judges, he said: 'Gary has been majestic and presidential, and Kelly has this accent dipped in honey and she just sounds wonderful.

'When you hear her talk you realise she was one third of Destiny's Child and they were the world's biggest girl group.


Sexy in black: Tulisa wore a pair of black lace-up leggings and a corset-style top as she performed with N-Dubz at T In The Park the day before


Belting it out: Tulisa has certainly been keeping busy with her X Factor duties and her N-Dubz gigs


'And of course Tulisa has been in the industry since she was 11.'

It has certainly been a busy weekend for Tulisa, because as well as performing at T4 On The Beach, they also took to the stage at T In The Park in Balado, Scotland, the day before.

Tulisa wore a similarly sexy outfit of a pair of black lace-up trousers, teamed with a black corset-style top and a black and white leather jacket.

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

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

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.


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.

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.
