UK singer Cher Lloyd has been getting lots of attention with her unique spin on American hip hop songs.
Now the 17-year old X-Factor contestant has caught the eye of Roc Nation CEO Jay-Z, who wants to make her a star according to OK!
Cher has performed two of Hov's biggest hits on the show. Singing and rapping her way through "Hard Knock Life" and "Empire State Of Mind."
Hov took notice, and came away very impressed.
“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. I could get myself, Kanye West, Beyonce and Rihanna all working on her debut album and that would make it an automatic hit," Hov said.
There could be one major hurdle for Jay to overcome if he plans on signing Cher. That would be X-Factor judge/producer Simon Cowell.
Fellow X-Factor judge Louis Walsh says Cowell already has plans for Cher.
“Simon believes that Cher will be the biggest success story of this year and he’s trying to butter her up. I’m sure he’s got something in the pipeline already, like a record deal. The plan will be to release a single next summer with a massive promotional campaign behind her," Louis said. "Simon’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."
