* OneMarioLimit: Averted - she effectively ended a long-standing One Mario Limit on the name "Cher". Of course, the Cher who married Sonny Bono still has a limit on her name used alone.

Cher Lloyd (born July 28, 1993) is an English {{pop}} singer who came fourth in the UK's ''Series/TheXFactor'' back in 2010. Like fellow finalists from her season Music/OneDirection, Rebecca Ferguson and Aiden Grimshaw, she has achieved great success following her series, [[TheRunnerUpTakesItAll despite not actually winning the show]].

* UpdatedRerelease: ''Sticks + Stones'' got one in late 2012 following the international release of the album. It includes all the tracks from the UK and overseas editions, as well as a few new ones. It also includes the solo versions of "Dub on the Track" and "With Ur Love" alongside the Astro and Snoop Dogg versions of "Want U Back".

Like other modern popstars such as Music/{{Kesha}} and NickiMinaj, Lloyd often combines singing with rapping in her music. She's also known for her urban-styled image, with partially-shaved hair, [[UncannyValleyMakeup loads of makeup]] and ripped clothes.

She garnered some controversy with her debut single "Swagger Jagger" due to it "coming across like a sink estate answer to the BlackEyedPeas" and its questionable {{sampling}} of "Oh My Darling Clementine". Despite its negative reception, [[CriticalDissonance the single debuted at number one on the UK singles chart and number two on the Irish charts]]. The song's success paved the way for two more successful singles, the Mike Posner-assisted "With Ur Love" and the international hit "Want U Back". This lead to her debut album ''Sticks + Stones'' charting at number four on the UK albums chart, and number nine on the US albums chart.

* CrossOver: Astro, a contestant from the first season of the American [[TheXFactor X Factor]] appears on the ([[NoExportForYou UK]]) single version of "Want U Back".

* AlphaBitch: ToddInTheShadows theorizes that her hit "Want U Back" is told from the perspective of one.

* BoastfulRap / BadassBoast: "Swagger Jagger". That whole song is one big boast (even during the sung parts).

* DarkerAndEdgier: "Sirens"

* MsFanservice: Only in her Music Videos, but not in real life.

* OneMarioLimit: Averted - she effectively ended a long-standing One Mario Limit on the name "Cher." Of course, the Cher who married Sonny Bono still has a limit on her name used alone.

* SurprisinglyGentleSong: Songs like "With Ur Love", "Beautiful People", "Oath" and "Behind the Music" are surprisingly soft compared to her other, more aggressive tracks.
** "Goodnight" from "Sorry I'm Late".

* AWildRapperAppears: Busta Rhymes in "Grow Up", Mic Righteous, Dott Rotten and Ghetts in "Dub on the Track". Astro featured in the original single mix of "Want U Back" but he was removed from the actual international release. A later remix of the same song featuring Snoop Dogg was released in the US. Also, a new song released from "Sticks + Stones" called "Oath" features Dr. Luke's protegee Becky G.

* WorstWhateverEver: Many have called "Swagger Jagger" this. [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity But that didn't stop it from going to #1…]]

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: [[http://oceanup.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/main_pic/images/cherlloydbluehair.jpg And she does right now]].

* DyeHard: She's been a [[FieryRedhead redhead]], a [[EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette brunette]], pink haired and many others. [[MulticoloredHair Sometimes all at once.]]
* FakeBrit: She pulls off a very convincing London accent on BigTimeRush
* FunnyCharacterBoringActor: On stage, Cher is loud, tough and uncompromising. Off stage, she's shy, quiet and dresses conservatively. She also tends to keep a low profile when not performing, reports of her going wild in nightclubs are very few and far between.

* OneHitWonder: "Want U Back" in the U.S. It hit #12 on the Hot 100, and she's never made it past #73 afterwards.

* DyeHard: She's been a [[FieryRedhead redhead]], a [[EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette brunette]], a RoseHairedGirl and many others. [[MulticoloredHair Sometimes all at once.]]

As of 2012, she is engaged to be married to her boyfriend of a year, Craig Monk.

* {{Sampling}}: Apart from "Swagger Jagger" sampling "Oh My Darling Clementine", "Playa Boi" interpolates the chorus of Neneh Cherry's "Buffalo Stance". "Superhero" even samples the "Buy Mode" music from ''TheSims''. Yes, you read that correctly.
