X Factor: Brian Friedman confirms Cher Lloyd’s strop

X Factor choreographer Brian Friedman has admitted that Cher Lloyd did throw a bit of a hissy fit at yesterday’s dress rehearsal.

It had previously been reported that Cher stormed off stage and squared up to a camera woman, after getting flustered and upset by one of her songs for tonight’s semi final show.

Speaking about the incident on The Xtra Factor, American dance expert Brian Friedman said:

She had a little bit of a meltdown. I don’t know why it happened, I think it had something to do with the song, she wasn’t used to the intro, she hadn’t heard it before she got onstage. So she had a bit of a moment and she had some tears and had to step away and Cheryl and her had a pow wow and she came back and she was magical.

He added:

I can’t be mad at her, she had to go through it and she’s 17 years old.

I think age has a lot to do with it. I know at 17 I was feeling different than I do now. You have a lot of insecurities and things you have to overcome and to overcome them in front of this many people is a lot to do so I’ll give her her tantrum.

Cher wowed most of the judging panel with her two hip hop themed performances tonight. Dannii Minogue did admit that she would have liked to hear her sing one ballad, but after her final song ‘Love The Way You Lie,’ Simon Cowell raved:

It was a risk taking on Eminem and Rihanna but for me it worked. Again, I don’t think that you’ve sold out. You’ve stuck to the type of music that you believe in and are passionate about. There weren’t really any gimmicks, other than the fire and I liked the fact that it was you, raw, doing what you do best. I’m a huge fan, you know that.

    cher to win she was amazing 2 night

  5. kathy says:

    everyone plz vote she deserves it

  6. Jenna French says:

    She DOESN’T deserve anything, she needs to be shown that bullies do not get rewarded in life.

    • H7 says:

      what bullies? are you seriously ignoring her talent and believing the gutter press?

      how would you feel when you end up learning these were all lies? and you were part of the cyber bullies that harmed an innocent talented person?

  7. John says:

    She wrecked ‘love the way you lie’ on tonights show, thw rapping was awful and the singing was just ok. Her other songs have been better than tonights

  8. Gavin says:

    nah she did love the way you lie class and i think she will be in the final,matt was bad tonight and not the nice person were all lead to believe by all accounts

  9. Helen says:

    cher was ok but sounded weird at the start of love the way you lie

    rebecca on the other hand has been amazing throughout and is the true deserving winner :) x

  10. Jo says:

    Talent? don’t make me laugh!

  11. Phil H says:

    The girl will be a trainwreck very soon after should she win. Great role model for the young with her disrspectful attitude.

    Can you really see her being the face of British music – hopefully Cheryl will adopt her and take her to the USA and that will be the end of her -and Cheryl hopefully.

    They make a wonderful pair and deserve each other!!

    • Charlotte says:

      You mean she will self destruct and have to go to rehab eventually? Please let her stay in the UK because brats are not tolerated. Also Cheryl had better work on her accent because people won’t understand what she’s saying maybe if they show subtitles.

  12. james says:

    she is rubbish killed both of those songs
    tonight- she is nothing but cocky!

  13. annie says:

    totally agree with last last 2 comments let cole adopt her and sling there hooks to usa she concentrates far to much on her rebbecca is class and can sing go there rebbecca go girl liverpool get behind her make sure she wins vote vote for rebbecca

  14. Stu-pendous-Lee says:

    Rebeca had the best vocals tonight but can only sing (ok now she can walk in a straight line as well big deal). Plenty of people out there watching the show who can only sing, sing much better than her. It would be a shame if she won and even worse if she deserved to win.

  15. Stu-pendous-Lee says:

    Basically I think if the final comes and Rebeca is the deserving winner without revolutionizing her performance then thats the beginning of a downward slide for ratings.

    • Charlotte says:

      Why does Rebecca have to revolutionize her performance when others like Cher are only willing to rap? Tonight she has proven that she deserves to win. Hopefully viewers get behind her and give her deserving votes. Besides,I haven’t heard any rumors of her throwing tantrums or refusing to cooperate with the x factor staff. I am only able to see her on you tube and she’s won me over with her charm and singing.

  16. Lucy Dwyer says:

    There is no doubt whatsoever that Rebecca is a truly beautiful singer with a superb voice and a modest and genuine personality to match. Music is about more than rapping, looking funky and and being able to dance. The boys are sweet, good to look at and entertaining, but the sound like so many other manufactured bands. Rebecca ticks not just one box, but all of them and we all know she deserves to win, so please please vote honestly and fairly and give the best singer the chance she needs. Wish I could vote but am in another country.

  17. go Matt/Rebecca says:

    Stay in the UK Cher
    the US doesn’t want you here

    you can’t sing or rap and you’re butt ugly
    get your teeth fixed
    and
    eat 20 cheeseburgers, you bag of bones

    • goo cher says:

      hahaha look what ur talking about!!! i bet thats all you eat cheeseburgers u fat pathetic waste of space!!!!the US need artist like her, not garbage hiphop wanna be artists, she can sing and rap so haters please let out all the steam you have for seeing talent and wishing it be you. Cher you go and be all you can and show the world what you got!!!

    • MO says:

      okay. just because you hate cher, you don’t have to make fun of her being too thin or having imperfect teeth. that just shows how completely immature you are. in fact, she does eat A LOT. her teeth ain’t a prob at all. she is pretty just like anybody else and she CAN sing. as a bonus, she raps. so, please stop acting so childish.

  18. MO says:

    honestly, i don’t think cher could win this cause i believe there are more matt and rebecca’s supporters out there. but either she wins or loses, she’s still gonna be big. i have faith in her. and if it’s true she was a bully back then, i hope she has learned her lesson now.

  19. Mimi says:

    I’m not falling for the “I might come off as a tough cookie but really I’m just a scared young girl…I have much to learn…I have a dream…” bull. When someone is shy and humbled by something they don’t have to repeat it all the time. Being 17 is not an excuse for being an ungrateful brat. She has talent, but her singing does not compare to that of many of the other contestants on the show. Sadly, it is people like her who end up becoming successful in life. In my opinion, she doesn’t deserve to win.

  20. karen says:

    i wonder how come none of the judges say anything about her cocky attitude. I remember last year the judges keep criticism Danyl Johhson how cocky he is. They should tell Cher the same thing. If they think she is too young to take criticism and have to take care how she feel then she is not ready to the show business. She can’t expect everybody like her. She is not everybody cut of tea. Love Rebecca

  21. Georgia says:

    personally i think Cher has very little talent. yes poor her she’s been cyber bullied but so have many many people, now that shes on TV it seems a big thing, i mean yes bullying is but who cares? i dont like her personality (of which she has little), she wears far to much make up which isnt much of a role model to people my age (im 15). shes just so overrated.

  22. Paula says:

    Cher was a bully… FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!! my neighbour’s daughter was bullied by CHER… why do you think on cher’s home coming she had to go to an infant school to preform? She was’t allowed anywhere near her high school. How bad was the turn out for her in Malvern? laughable really a hand full of people compared to the rest of the contestants. we are ashamed she came from Worcestershire. She has to now look back and learn from this, people can change when they realise how they are pre sieved and own up to hurting others and say sorry!!!! try to make good what you have done so wrong. She has a terrible out look on life. I hope for her sake she see the light. To make it in this life you have to be good on the inside as well as the outside, at this moment in time she is neither . I can only hope she changes for her own sake.
