Video After The JumpThe first time I saw Cher Lloyd on UK's X-Factor, she was singing Keri Hilson's version of Soulja Boy's "Turn My Swag On." I was really impressed, by both her voice and how she carried herself.
This week she killed it again, by combining the original "Hard Knock Life" from 'Annie' the musical, with Jay-Z's hip hop version.
The 'American Idol' producers should be embarrassed. How do you let a 17 year old girl from overseas show you what kind of songs contestants should be allowed to sing?
Check out her performance and leave your thoughts and comments.

Don't get Nick Cannon angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry.
The actor, 30, turned into a, well, loose cannon, after E! talk show host Chelsea Handler bashed him on Twitter this week.
"I just heard nick cannon is starting a comedy tour. Who's going to do the comedy?" Handler tweeted Thursday.
Cannon, who was preparing for a weekend show at the Gotham Comedy Club in Manhattan, issued a quick response that led to a Twitter feud spanning the rest of Thursday evening.
"Wow @chelseahandler I actaully used to have respect for you as a comic. But for one artist to diss another in the same art form. #Tasteless," Cannon posted. "Soon as I get off stage tonight, I'm going in on @chelseahandler I'm about to be relentless! OFF WITH HER HEAD but right now I got to focus."
Handler responded by tweeting a picture of grape soda and the caption, "@nickcannon pls drink this before you tweet me again."
From then on, Cannon dominated the back-and-forth, running up a series of tweets demeaning the "Chelsea Lately" host.
"Everyone knows @Chelseahandler had sex with the head of E! for her show," Cannon tweeted, referencing rumors that Handler got her own show because she was dating the head of E! at the time. "So when its canceled does he get residual p---y for the reruns?"
Cannon later slammed the comic's looks, saying she looked like she got "hit in the face with a hot bag nickels" and that her recent night out with rapper 50 Cent was just so the two could share "testosterone tips."
Handler, who has a history of shooting down her critics, has yet to respond to Cannon's comments.
Cannon ended the rant with a tweet directed at Handler, shock jock Howard Stern and rapper Eminem, all of whom have insulted the comedian in the past.
"Why do all these angry ugly whitetrash folks want beef with me?" he tweeted in exasperation. "What I do? I'm a harmless corny dude!

Sean Combs is determined to own an NFL team, and fans can only hope that if he succeeds, he won't change the squad's name every couple of years.
Combs, aka Puff daddy, Puffy, P. Diddy and Diddy, tweeted late Thursday of his desire to join Jerry Jones, Al Davis and other mega-rich sportsmen in the owner's box at a stadium in an as-yet undetermined city. No teams are currently up for sale, but Combs is worth an estimated $300 million, so he might be able to pull it off.
"I will be the 1st black man to be majority owner of a NFL football team!!!! BELIEVE!!!!!!! All things are possible through Christ!" Combs tweeted.
The hip hop impresario recently flirted with buying European soccer club Crystal palace, but backed off, saying "it wasn't the right business move for me at the time.
I'm always looking into different business ventures and it's definitely one of my dreams one day to be a part of a sports franchise, especially a football team," he said.
"If the right situation comes my way and it's appealing and we can make the right splash and most importantly build the right team and win... I'm into winning and if it's the right situation then I'm open to it."

BET held it's round table discussion last night to determine the "Top Ten Rappers Of The 21st Century" last night October 15.
After many heated arguments, the list was finalized. Fans are bound to find the list controversial.
Right off the top I noticed one glaring omission.
Here's how the list was decided according to BET.comBET’s "Top 10 Rappers of the 21st Century" is a fierce, no-holds-barred, hour-long special that reveals the ultimate Top 10 List of the last decade’s hottest rappers, whose careers blew up from 1999 to today.
BET’s "Top 10 Rappers" is the definitive hip-hop countdown by the ground-breaking network that gave love to hip-hop before anyone else dared. BET threw open nominations to BET digital followers, industry bloggers and other social influencers (our “Grand Jury”). More than 25,000 votes later, they returned a Top 15 list of rappers for consideration. Now, our “Hip-Hop Supreme Court” is convening to vote on the final Top Ten, based on a rapper’s: flow, lyrics, subject matter, cultural impact, dough, and as needed in the arsenal of a 21st Century rapper –digital skills (e.g., Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, their own website, etc.).
The Court represents all of the regions of the country, and consists of nine select industry insiders – many of whom were raised on hip-hop: Jermaine Dupri (Producer - ATL); Chuck "Jigsaw" Creekmur (AllHipHop.com); Boy 1da (Producer);DJ Diamond Kuts (Power 99 FM - Philadelphia); DJ Greg Street (V103 - ATL); Tony Neal (CEO, Core DJs); DJ Timbuck2 (107.5 WGCI – Chicago); Chloe Hilliard (Managing Editor/Social Media Manager, Vibe Magazine - NYC); and DJ Vlad (VladTV.com - NYC).
In their technologically tricked-out courtroom, the Court is led by the Justice – Big Tigger, who takes them through the debates and discussions about each of their own Top 10 rankings. Live votes allow Court members to sway each others’ minds about their original Top 10 Lists with each countdown position!
The Top 10# 1 Eminem
Selling more records than anyone on the list, Eminem is not only praised for his commercial success, but is highly respected by his peers for his skill.
# 2 Lil Wayne
Lil' Wayne is a rock star. The Young Money Millionaire has shown the most growth in the 21st century.
# 3 Kanye West
The highly successful rapper/producer Kanye West is more than just a rapper. But the level of his rap game has been elevated since his debut.
# 4 50 Cent
In less than 10 years, 50 Cent has released four albums, three of which have gone platinum (or in some cases, multi-platinum). This controversial rapper has consistently put out hits.
# 5 T.I.
ATL-native T.I. may be controversial in his actions, but when it comes to rap, this MC has got the South on lock
# 6 Ludacris
It's hard to talk about the 21st century without mentioning Ludacris. The Atlanta-based rapper is arguably one of the most consistent when it comes to the quality of his music.
# 7 Drake
Aubrey "Drake" Graham has managed to win over the hearts of hip hop fans this past year. After releasing his debut album, "Thank Me Later," Drake has shown that he is the one to watch
# 8 Young Jeezy
Young Jeezy bumps in every whip, from the North to the South. This Southern MC is respected for his hardcore delivery and thug narratives.
# 9 Jadakiss
Jadakiss has always been praised for his complex rhymes and the meaning behind his words.
# 10 Officer Rick Ross
Rick Ross bossed up the game in the 21st century. He is one of the few rappers to survive a 50 Cent rivalry by continuing to put out quality music
So there you have it. What do you guys think of the list? Who should have been left off and who should have made it in their place?

A federal judge ordered the Atlanta native back to prison for 11 months after revoking his probation.
The multi-platinum rapper, whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., appeared in court Friday in Atlanta following his arrest last month in Los Angeles on suspicion of drug possession.
He was on probation after serving 10 months behind bars on federal weapons charges.
T.I., 29, begged the judge not to send him back to prison, saying he needed to get help for drug addiction. He told the judge he "screwed up" and pleaded for mercy.
U.S. attorney spokesman Patrick Crosby said Harris will voluntarily surrender.
The action comes just days after th rap star helped police talk a man out of jumping from a 22-story building n downtown Atlanta.
Officer James Polite says the hip-hop star joined the crowd outside the office building Wednesday and told officers he wanted to help. Police said the man agreed to come down in exchange for a few minutes face-to-face with T.I.

(CNN) -- Big Bird and the Cookie Monster have some new friends, but they're a long way from "Sesame Street."
One of America's best-loved children's shows, which began life on a fictional New York street over 40 years ago, is about to land in Nigeria under the title of "Sesame Square" -- bringing with it some distinctly West African twists.
The show stars Kami, a girl muppet who is HIV-positive, has golden hair and a zest for adventure; and Kobi, an energetic, furry, blue muppet whose troublesome escapades help others learn from his mistakes.
In a country with a population of over 150 million -- where, according to the CIA World Factbook, nearly half are under the age of 14 -- the show will address some of the biggest challenges faced by young people in the region: AIDS, malaria, gender inequality, religious differences -- as well as many positive aspects of Nigerian life. In the case of Zobi, this is characterized by an obsessive love of yams -- a staple food in the Nigerian diet.
"We have a very focused health and hygiene umbrella concept area that we're concentrating on," Naila Farouky, senior director of international projects at Sesame Workshop, told CNN. "This is something our local advisors have prioritized -- something that absolutely has to be addressed on the show."
In one episode, Zobi gets tangled up in a mosquito net, much to the amusement of the local kids. But there's an important message behind the antics -- mosquito nets are the best way to prevent infection from malaria on a continent where, according to the World Health Organization, a child dies from the disease every 45 seconds.
There are also an estimated 278,000 HIV-positive children in Nigeria, according to the National Agency for Control of AIDS.
However, like its American predecessor, "Sesame Square" is not solely focused on health and social issues, but a host of essential learning skills.
Farouky told CNN, "The thread of the show continues to be about basic life skills -- literacy, numeracy and pre-school education."

Video After The JumpHouston rapper Trae The Truth is one of the realest in the game right now. Even though local radio station 97.9 The Box tried to blackball him out of the industry by refusing to play his music, Trae has continued to keep the streets buzzing.
His new album, 'You Can't Ban The Truth' hit stores September 28.
Trae sits down with VladTV to talk about a very important subject that is affecting the youth all across the country, and has cost legends like DJ Screw and Pimp C their lives. And that is the use of syrup to get high.
Rappers like Lil Wayne, Beanie Sigel, Juelz Santana, Three Six Mafia, and Lil Flip and many more have admitted to sipping that lean. Is it time to put that to bed?
"I think at the end of the day drugs is drugs," Trae says. "I think it kinda blew up more throughout the media, because each hood and each city have their choice of drugs. Sometimes people like to be on X [ecstacy] a lot, it's a lot of people who die from X. Sometimes people like to be on powder [cocaine], it's a lot of people that die from powder. Some places got heroin, some places got fry, if you don't know what fry is that's water like Formaldehyde/embalming fluid. Any drugs can harm you, it's not guaranteed to make you pass away, but it can harm you. I don't want to enhance what the media did, and make it seem like that's [syrup] what's killing Houston right now."
Vlad asks if the artists should be more responsible and speak out against the use of syrup.
"Each person gotta be held accountable for their own actions. A lot of people blame the music, but then at the same time we got movies where people doing the same sh*t and nobody pinpoints it to that. Everything any of us do in the entertainment business is an influence, but I'm not going to all the weight on {just] that," Trae said.

Republican Bill O'Reilly. known for being very opinionated and often outrageous, got into a heated argument with Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar, regarding the proposed building of a mosque at Ground Zero.
At one point O'Reilly said, "Muslims killed us on 911."
That remark so offended Whoopi and Joy they walked off the stage.
Barbara Walters took her co-hosts to task for leaving the stage.
"You have just seen what should not happen," Walters told the audience. "We should be able to have discussions without washing our hands and screaming and walking off stage."
I have to agree with Barbara. You know exactly what you're going to get with Bill O'Reilly. Joy and Whoopi should have kept their composure and talked him down with facts, instead of letting him get to them.
