UK TV: CHER LLOYD THE X-FACTOR 2010 AUDITION – ‘TURN MY SWAG ON’

Last night 16 year old X-Factor contestant Cher Lloyd performed Soulja Boy’s ‘Turn My Swag On’ (but the Keri Hilson version). Today everyone seems to be praising Cher’s performance (e.g. “amazing” and “best audition so far” and “Cher murdered Keri on her own track”), including Keri Hilson herself who wrote, I tweeted link to @iamCherLloyd on XFactor earlier…finally watched!

VIDEO OF THE DAY: YOKO ONO NEEDS TO BE STOPPED!

Yoko Ono is something else…. John Lennon’s  widow will be  “performing” (and I use the term loosely) occasionally at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

UK MUSIC: TALEY RILEY – HUMANOID

First of all let me thank Social Writers Blog for bringing singer/songwriter Taley Riley to my attention, who apparently co-wrote Chipmunk’s number 1 classic Oopsy Daisy.
