It's nice when an artist surprises you. I LOATHED Cher Lloyds debut single more than words could say, but the second single is out and it is GREAT.
Enjoy.

We argued about her back in the heady
riot days when you accused her of "egotistical malevolence". Glad to hear you've stopped being a hater. She's got a decent voice and has put up with loads of shite by all accounts. Doubt she gets to pick and choose which songs are released either way mind...
God I hate this kind of pop music...
Makes me envy the deaf.
Think this is o.k.
But "swagger jagger" was so so awful, this would have to musical penicillin to balance the books.
Btw. Well done for posting a current pop video on word forums!!!! More power to your digits!
Truly awful
Just the usual shite that counts for pop music today
(No subject)
Oi!
That was a good joke you made! Man up for god's sake. :)
Haha, it was just a bit snarky.
Anyway, no jokes required. It's self-satirising. ;-)
I see
a "first single rubbish, second single brilliant" trend developing with this one here...

Tom Ewing, probably my favourite current music writer outside the Word, has written an interesting piece in the Guardian today about Cher Lloyd, arguing she's broken the mould as an X-Factor contestant who's actually gone on to deliver a decent album. Worth a read

Over simplification
No mention of Diana Vickers, in that article, who delivered one of the best albums of last year in my opinion, regardless of whether she'd been on X Factor or not. Written by Vickers, Lightspeed Champion, Nerina Pallot and Ellie Goulding, as well as others, "Songs From The Tainted Cherry Tree" took pop music and moulded it into her shape. Pastoral and dreamy in places, with the trip hop influences in place for "NUMB" and "Four Leaf Clover", it did well in the charts, but not as well as it could have done. A fantastic album and very much underrated. Especially for someone who'd come from the X Factor.
