As Cher embarks upon a music career off the back of XF, what advice would you give her?
Obviously she has had loads of bad press. Should she engage a PR professional like Max Clifford to help counter this? What could she do to change the public's perception?
Should she disappear for a couple of years, maybe complete her education, before making a triumphant return to the charts or should she try to capitalise on the exposure from XF now?
Constructive advice welcome. Abuse not so much

Whenever she got criticism on the X Factor she always turned to Cheryl and Simon for reassurance.
She should strike now while the iron is hot. Listen to her industry backers and put together a nice commercial-yet-"edgy" album. Her perception is a zero problem. X-Factor is a glorified soap opera and she suffered from bad-editing and lies/exaggerations from the media, as is often the case with shows like this.
Agree completly.
...THEN release the single/album and see how it is received.
Although I don't see, apart from the link to Will.i.am how Cher L being close to Cher yl will help her?
Oh, and accept the fact that rapping, other than being her USP on the show, isn't the way sh's going to sell records
I say quickly make an album but makes sure it's not rushed >_> as everyone knows about her ATM, lol her first audition got put on her "Youtube Re-wind" thing on the side of the main page, that's gonna bump up a lot of viewers.
My invoice is in the post.
It's interesting that Matt (who I wanted to win) doesn't get anywhere near as much abuse as Cher and he has been fairly outspoken - but of course he has criticised unpopular contestants so it's OK. I'm sure Cher can be a nasty little brat but it's no worse.
Reading the comments from Will.i.am about how he'd wanted to sign her at judges' houses, I can't help but think that would have been a better path for her if it was a genuine desire rather than just the benefit of hindsight. Right now, she is committed to the X Factor tour and, after that, he is definitely the mentor she should be charming rather than Simon and even Cheryl as, being brutal, her career looks a bit precarious at the moment.
She's definitely got something, I just think X Factor handled her all wrong.
She has the start of what could become a great talent, but she's not there yet. She should take the advice of people who know what they are talking about and hone her skills.
A period of silence on her part would be welcome.
Thirty or forty years preferably,
Could`t agree more....I know this will really p*ss off the Cher haters but she has obviously impressed a few of her contempories within the industry and if she does write her own lyrics then there`s a chance she may succeed.
Her duet with Will i`am was easilly the best of the night....and bang on the money.....I made a comment in another thread, pointing out that she both looked and sounded like a bona fide member of "The Black Eyed Peas"
Then spend 30 years paying off her debt to society
The "bad press" was usually from the Daily Fail who as we know has been telling lies throughout the entire show. It will be forgotten by the new year.
I'd tell to her to work with Will.i.am and learn everything she can then go foward from.
Lastly I'd tell when she has enough money to sue the Daily Fail for libel
She needs to go to America & let Will.I.Am manage her.
He seems to be quite keen on her & he's a big time producer, so if she's got someon of his calibre wanting to work with her, she's won a significant battle.
Most of all, she needs to listen until she wises up.
This.
Stand up for yourself by all means but learning some humility and dignity will go a long way
