EXCLUSIVE INTEVIEW: Just Jared sat down with Cher to talk about what it’s like working with Ne-Yo, her crossover to the U.S., Demi Lovato, and what we can expect from her upcoming sophomore album. JustJared: Hi Cher! Congrats on all your success here in the states. So much has happened since you left the UK X Factor. Is there any particular moment or highlight that you always look back to? Cher Lloyd: Yeah, I think the main big thing for me has been the acceptance from the U.S. That’s still crazy to me. To come over to the U.S. and be a British girl and have all these people know who I am. It’s unbelievable and it just seems to be getting better and better. I can admit that its taken some time and its been really hard. Some struggles here and there, but the payoff has been amazing. JJ: The hard work has clearly payed off. Have you noticed a difference between your British audience and the U.S. audience? CL: There is a slight difference. I came off the UK X Factor so its been very difficult to control the way I’ve been put out there. It’s a TV show so you can’t control what gets edited and what gets put out on TV. I’m very opinionated and I have a lot of things to say. Sometimes I sound a bit like a willy and I don’t think people were fond of my attitude. But if I’m honest, my attitude did stink back then. It was terrible and I’ve owned up to it. But its been great to come to the U.S. and not have people judge me because of what they saw or heard when I was 16 and on a TV show. They’re actually judging me on the fact that I can sing and how my personality is now. Which I think is great. JJ: That’s exactly how they should look at it. The past is the past. Your debut album Sticks & Stones came out in the states last year but its technically been out for over 2 years in the UK. Have you started work on the follow-up? CL: Yes, I have. It’s almost done and we are going to be releasing it worldwide. So everyone is going to get it roughly around the same time. It will be very interesting to see how different countries take to it. I’m a little bit nervous for that and I’m a little nervous to see how the UK reacts aswell.
