Of course, the most entertaining bits of Britain's singing competition X Factor are the auditions. Perhaps the main intrigue of the auditions is the inevitable laughs that come with embarrassing acts. Once in a while, though, a gem shines through and blows everyone away with their potential and talent. Meet Cher Lloyd, a 16 (!!!) year old girl from Worcestershire, England who aspires to be the next great pop act of the UK. Despite her shaking nervousness, her style, vocal ability, and attitude wowed the judges and she is already creating a buzz within the UK music sphere! Take a look for yourself, her pizazz and style are incredibly endearing and admirable.

Will she be the next Cheryl Cole? Who knows, let's see how boot camp goes for her first.
