Cher Lloyd‘s debut track – Swagger Jagger has been leaked on the internet. Reaction to the track has been strong among fans and non-fans, some non-fans fuming at the fact that they believe Cher Lloyd has ripped of the classic christmas carol – Little Donkey. One fan describes Swagger Jagger as sounding “like a Black Eyed Peas acid house remix of Little Donkey”, another saying “Cher Lloyd’s new song is so bad it hurts oh my god what the f*** why is she singing to the tune of Little Donkey”.
Rapper/singer Example had this to say about the 17 year old X-Factor contender on Twitter:
Some of Cher’s fans have also voiced their opinion over Youtube and Twitter, but have praised her efforts.
