We agree!

will.i.am has been so impressed with X Factor contestant Cher Lloyd that he's willing to sign her if she doesn't win the reality competition!

He explains:

"I'd sign Cher tomorrow, today, yesterday! I wanted to sign her as I left the house."

Smart move! We've said it before and we'll say it again - she is EASILY the most marketable performer on the show this year, and we don't doubt for a second that she has a long and successful career ahead of her!

She is a spolit little wannabe, who thinks she is cool and fabolous when all she can do is pose and fake it. The onyl reason she seems to have gotten so far is for the show she puts on, having tons of dancers and other stuff going on that distract from her incapability of singing. Sne thinks she is so tough, when all she is is a poilt little diva.
Hopefully next week she's gone.

IT'S TOO BAD SHE SUCKS AS A SINGER AND CANT FUCKING RAP WORTH A SHIT. WILL IS ONLY INTERESTED IN MAKING MONEY ASAP SHORT TERM AND NOT REALLY INTERESTED IN DEVELOPING HER AS AN ARTIST. SHE NEEDS A&R FROM A REAL LABEL REAL BAD BUT LABELS DONT HAVE ARTIST REPERTOIRE ANYMORE. BESIDES, SHE SUCKS ASS!!!!! BEING EASILY MARKETABLE DOESNT MEAN U HAVE A LONG TERM CAREER. PEOPLE JUST WANT TO FEED OFF YA AND NOT REALLY HELP YA. THEN 2-3 YRS DOWN THE ROAD SHE'S SOME HOMELESS PERSON ON THE STREET, TRUTH!! AND WILL.I.AM HAS NO TRACK RECORD WHATSOEVER IN DEVELOPING ARTISTS - ABSOLUTELY ZERO!!!!! DIDNT HE GET SUED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR JACKING SAMPLES AND CREDITS? OH YEA, FORGOT ABOUT THAT. LOL.

The girl is so average it hurts. Average looks, average voice, nothing special at all.

I have to ask this! If this is true, and he said this, then why? I watched the judges houses, she got 3 times to sing her song, turned down hre last chance. And the other two times she brokedown, she looked unproffessional, immature and unreliable… so how what exactly did he see in her?

Why all the hate? Agreed Perez; she's going far (although maybe not with will.i.am) x£x

I'll believe it when Cher signs the contract. This may just be a ploy by Will.I.Am to help his friend Cheryl's image after all the bad press she got for choosing Cher and Katie following the Gamugate incident b/c he was partlyto blame for Cheryl's decision. Furthermore, I think the finalists sign a contract and are required to sign with Simon's record company first and only if she's not signed by Simon can Will.I.Am be able to offer Cher a contract. Having said that, I don't know of anyone Will.I.Am signed that made it big in the music business here in the US…does anyone know?

I think she sucks! Guys does anyone else feel this way?… I swear I am not trying to be rude but I have watched all of her x-factor videos and I just don't see it. I feel like she is over-rated. I don't think her voice is that great. Her voice isn't bad but its not great. I just don't get it! What is so special about her? Someone please point it out because I am curious.

Re: Joshua Pingley – No, she will NEVER be famous. Maybe in the UK, but who cares. No one gives a shit about will i am anyways.
Re: Mushu Baby – As an actual trained singer, she does suck, you are right. She is absolutely never in tune, she is always flat. Just because her voice is strong it doesn't make it good, people don't understand that. The Brits and Perez are obviously tone deaf.

Couldn't help noticing there was no mention of Cher when she wound up in the bottom 2 last weekend and almost got eliminated….. or did I just miss it?:-)

Re: mscalto – brits are tone deaf?? believe me most of the british public have been trying bbot her out of the competition since the first live show.
i dont understand why shes still in the competition. everyone hates her yet she still makes it thru every week. xfactor has turned into a complete fix. and can simon cowells head get any further up cheryl coles arse. its not about the talent anymore i think when aiden and paige were booted off the competition it proved that its not. if cher or katie dont go this week then i think many people in britain will lose interest in the programme pretty fast including me

whether she wins or not she has a good future ahead of her, even if it is only for the short term, she will make her money.

Zayn Malik Spotted Slipping Out Of Gigi Hadid's Apartment In The Same Clothes As The Night Before!

Are Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid back together??

The evidence is starting to stack up. And if eyewitnesses are to be believed, so are Zayn and Gigi!

Fans noticed a couple days ago that the supermodel had liked one of her ex's Instagram posts promoting his new album, which he says is all about her.
