Miscellaneous
Lloyd has performed on T4 on the Beach. She has also performed at the Leeds Aire FM Party in the Park and Key 103 Live Manchester, both on the day of release of her debut single.
She had auditioned for The X Factor twice before (when the minimum age was lower) singing ballads but it was only after reinventing herself in 2010 that she got through to see the judges. Lloyd has previously performed at holiday camps and said she gets a mixed reaction to her music. She auditioned singing the Keri Hilson version of Turn My Swag On. At bootcamp she sang a rap version of Viva La Vida adding lyrics she claimed to have written herself, but this was disputed and reports claimed she took them from a song by rapper Swizz Beatz.
At the judges' houses she performed Cooler Than Me but suffered a throat infection and was unable to complete her song. She was given a second chance, but broke down sobbing and could not complete the song. Despite this, she was picked as one of the final three girls by mentor Cole. Lloyd sang a rendition of Just Be Good to Me in the first of the live shows. In the second live show she sang "Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)". In the fourth live show she sang "Stay" and did not rap for the first time. Cowell called the performance the best of the series. In the seventh week, Lloyd was in the bottom two for the first time after her rendition of "Imagine". Cowell, Cole and Walsh all saved her, resulting in Paije Richardson being eliminated.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you act all cool like u already knew
Then I'll be stuck here cold, just waiting though
Till your heart start beating for that somebody new
You know that it's true
'Cause it's beautiful people like you, who get whatever they want
And it's beautiful people like you, who suck the life right outta my heart
'Cause nobody else could be nearly as cruel as you
It's a wicked game that you making me play (Making me play)
When I crawl back home as you walkin' away (Hey, hey)
Then it's all quiet clear what you want me to say (What you want me to say)
But you'll be so long gone if I ask you to stay
You know that it's true
'Cause it's beautiful people like you, who get whatever they want
And it's beautiful people like you, who suck the life right outta my heart
And it's beautiful people like you, who make me cry
'Cause nobody else could be nearly as cruel as you
It's my last big breath, what you want me to do
When you went all cool, like you already knew
'Cause it's beautiful people like you, who get whatever they want
And it's beautiful people like you, who suck the life right outta my heart
And it's beautiful people like you, who make me cry
'Cause nobody else could be nearly as cruel as you
Nobody else could be nearly as cruel as you, as you
The lyrics to Cher Lloyd's song "Beautiful People" speak to the emotional pain and confusion that comes with being in a toxic relationship. The singer is reflecting on the power dynamics in her relationship, where the other person is always in control and gets everything they want. The opening lines suggest that the singer feels trapped and powerless, indicating that she is at a crossroads where she must decide whether to stay in the relationship or move on. She acknowledges that the other person is "cool" and confident, which makes her feel even more insecure and insignificant.
The chorus of the song is particularly effective in evoking the singer's pain and frustration. She is expressing her anger towards the person who has hurt her, someone who she refers to as a "beautiful person". The phrase "suck the life right outta my heart" suggests that this person has left her feeling drained and empty, and is essentially ruining her life. The line "nobody else could be nearly as cruel as you" implies that this person is uniquely skilled at hurting her, which is a particularly devastating realization.
Overall, the song is a powerful reflection on the emotional trauma that can come with relationships, particularly those that are one-sided and unhealthy. The lyrics are raw and emotional, capturing the singer's feelings of powerlessness and despair in a way that is both relatable and moving.
