    Agreed album 2 does seem more likely to be in the pipeline:D

    Also great show review in the Guardian ( to old and creaky to link but it's easy enough to Google).

    Interesting how most reviews seem to be of London shows - poor journalists can't get outside M25 easily can they poor lambs:D

    Very good review from the Guardian - they've been pretty much pro-Cher from the beginning.
    Also three more reviews which are mainly favourable:

    Good to see a bit more press attention.:)

    Cher was lovely when I met her and even remembered when me and her were in the dailymail together from last year ha (From X Factor tour hotel/s era)

    and we had a 'pout' photo together and I'll upload later or tomorrow!
    She hugged me also and she weren't meant to give hugs out....

    The show was great at Rock City in Nottingham... the crowd were on FIREEE.
    Cher bear bought the rooooooooof down!

    Told you the cover of Breathing by Jason Derulo was fab. Jason Derulo agrees. He's tweeted Cher about it.

    first review of the morning

    http://www.mirror.co.uk/lifestyle/going-out/music/cher-lloyd-review-by-dean-piper-796363

    edit: it's a glowing one btw, she's proved her worth on stage during this tour it appears

    Wow. Dean Piper of the Mirror take a bow:) Are you actually one of us on here in disguise? :D That review make us look like a bunch of haterz :o

    It really doesn't get too much better than that.

    The Swindon advertiser has a good piece too.

    Overall, on its own terms, the tour has been a great success hasn't it? There was a sniffy review that came out in the Independent yesterday - contrasting totally with another piece in the same paper last week I think - don't get that, but that is very much the exception.

    The covers in particular seem to have got the reviewers sitting up and taking positive note, and rightly so. Is she moving a little way from the "rap/urban thang" to an extent and becoming more of the slinky songstress, which (and I'll throw this one controversially out there to be shot at and put my tin hat on) may have been more "her" all along before TMSO hijacked it all and became a surprising monster but burdensome success???? Don't forget she admire Dolly Parton.:eek:

    The only your downside (which to be fair was one of the Independent's points above) is size matters. Olly Murs (for gawd's sake) for example can sell out the main O2, 1D are off in the stratosphere, and Cher has just about sold what 20-25000 tickets on this tour? On it's own terms it's great, almost certainly made a few quid, great, and if it's a base, and got her some good experience and showed off her talents unexpectedly it's great, but can it be built on? She still, in my view, lacks "casual fans/buyers" a la Mr Murs for example, even if it's beyond doubt that she has fans in some numbers. She nods to that in the Mirror, saying the "UK has something against her", and she's right in the sense that she's still battling to overcome the fact that ITV made great TV out of her in Autumn 2010 (when she was barely 17- and she's probably grown up a lot since too in fairness), and she's been battling uphill against the controversy created on the editing room floor ever since.

    Anyway go West young lady the USA and album two await you.

    Yaay for you! How tall is she? You hear her referred to as "pint sized" etc but is she a half or are you a quart so to speak?

    Twitter sources say it's Snoop Dogg...

    And wow, what a review! Coming from a tabloid, it should do a bit to change public opinion.

    Just saw two thirds of that "Cher Lloyd backstage" thing on one of the music channels. She came over very well - very chatty and relaxed these days. Quite a bit of show footage too (from Leeds?), looked good and that she was really enjoying herself. Didn't hear any of the covers the reviewers have raved about (might've been at the start possibly which I missed).

    Thanks. Yeah seen them there, they're great. I meant didn't see any of the covers on the TV programme and wasn't sure if they were on at the start which I missed.

    I assume all is quiet as she's having a few days off (well deserved) before going to America again.

    i think she's on hols in Cyprus, before heading off over there in about 3 weeks time.
    She's trended twice ww tonight, once for 'who is CHer Lloyd?' (relating to that doc being transmitted on sat on 4music, and then for the reply 'cher lloyd is queen of swag':)

    so it'll remain quiet until she's in the US.

    back to sleep:yawn:

    Also, this 12 year old girl will be on Britain's Got Talent tomorrow covering Turn my Swag On.She does a very good job of it,completely different from Cher's version. Still prefer Cher's of course! Nothing will ever beat that.
