She may have gotten a lot of flack on the premise that she didn’t really deserve to be on X Factor, but Cher Lloyd is getting a lot of attention – and praise – from A-list celebrities, which may even turn out helpful in the future.
One of the stars to have lately noticed the petite 17-year-old singer is rapper and music producer Jay Z, who said in a recent interview that he loved her rendition of two of his songs, and would even consider working with her.
For an up-and-coming singer, such warm praise can’t but be wonderful news, especially since Jay Z is not easily the kind of man to rush into saying things he doesn’t mean.
Moreover, Jay Z says in the same interview, as cited by Digital Spy, that he loved so much Cher’s take on “Hard Knock Life” and “Empire State of Mind” that he may even do some work with her for her debut album.
“I was very impressed with her version of ‘Hard Knock Life.’ It should be a track on her debut album and I would happily add my lyrics to it,” Jay Z says.
He may even bring some of his longtime collaborators on board as well. “I could get myself, Kanye West, Beyoncé and Rihanna all working on her debut album and that would make it an automatic hit,” Jay Z adds.
The rapper is not the only one to believe Cher’s future in music is a given at this point, since X Factor judge Louis Walsh is just as convinced that she’ll make it big once the show is over, regardless of whether she wins it or not.
“Simon [Cowell’s] already totally crazy about Cher and he’s already active in her future career. He feels she’ll sell millions and make some serious money. She’s had all the attention in the competition so far,” Louis is also cited as saying.
In October this year, Robbie Williams too spoke highly of Cher, saying he believed she had the talent, the looks and the extra factor to build for herself a lasting career in showbiz.
However, he also believed she needed to take a year or so off to get her priorities straight – and only afterwards go into showbiz, as we also informed you at the time.
