The Wanted: Cher Lloyd Is A "Kiddy Version" Of Jessie J

EXCLUSIVE | The boys reveal they are not huge lovers of The X Factor star...

Cher Lloyd may have split the nation with her new single Swagger Jagger, but it seems boyband The Wanted are not fans of the 17-year old's debut tune.

The Glad You Came singers, who met Cher when performing on The X Factor last year, have exclusively told MTV.co.uk that they believe Lloyd is a "kiddy version" of Price Tag star, Jessie J.

When we asked the lads about Cher, Tom revealed: "She is a furious girl. She was was walking around The X Factor with her headphones in."

Speaking of her song, Tom then confessed he wasn't loving Swagger Jagger, stating: "I don't like it. It's like a nursery rhyme."

Jay added: "I think if she had come out at the right time it could have been great, but Jessie J's done what she's kind of doing but properly, like a great voice and great stage presence."

He continued: "Just because Jessie’s done it organically I think that people who like that sort of thing have got it from her. A lot of X Factor fans will definitely want to hear Cher, so I’m sure she’ll do well."

Nathan, who has previously been romantically linked to Cher, agreed: "She could be like a younger version of Jessie J. I haven't heard the single so I don’t know much about it, but I think that’s where they're taking her, like a younger version. A kiddy version."

We sense another pop battle coming on…
