OMFG - a surprisingly great Cher Lloyd video

Reading the US music press, it appears that people are getting quite excited by Cher Lloyd. Billboard magazine named her "one to watch" in this week's issue, while her debut single in the States (Want U Back, thankfully, not Swagger Jagger) has been getting a lot of support from Top 40 radio and is "bubbling under" on the pop charts.

As part of her continued assault on the US, Lloyd has been videod singing Usher's OMG next to a man with an acoustic guitar and ridiculous facial hair. It is, to all intents and purposes, brilliant. Have a squizz below.

The video has been getting a lot of love online over the last 24 hours - but Cher's fans have pointed out the cover has been part of her live show for aaaaaages. So long, in fact, that it's become a sing-along classic. Like Robbie Williams' Angels, but less grating.

Here's the 18-year-old X Factor graduate duetting with the audience at Bristol's O2 Academy last October.
