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.

Trendsetters, come get us
Never grow up 'cause immature's better
Just let us, please let up
I got my water gun and you're gonna get wetter
Boom badoom boom boom boom
Screwin' up cause it's cool
We love it so don't judge it
Let's live off the wall, the wall, the wall, the wall
Stand up 'til we fall, if we break we take it all
'Cause we run, run for our lives
Run for tomorrow, run for tonight
'Cause we run, run 'til we die
No point in livin' if we ain't livin' life
So riot! Riot! Everybody stand up
It's a riot! Riot! Put your f'n hands up
'Cause we come alive tonight, tonight
('Cause we come alive)
We own it, most wanted
Gotcha lookin' round for our fingerprints on it

New world order can't f with our shh
Boom badoom boom boom boom
Don't make us come for you
Rough riders, dun da da
