2010 X Factor finalist Cher Lloyd has been tipped as one to watch in America next year by well-respected music mogul, LA Reid. 

Speaking during a recent X Factor USA pre-show, the superstar and judge explained that he has high hopes for Lloyd and thinks she will enjoy great success stateside in 2012:

"Listen, you need to know that [Cher Lloyd] will be a massive star in America. Watch out. Cher Lloyd, watch it."

Upon hearing the positive comments, the 'Swagger Jagger' hitmaker gushed: "It's a bit crazy because I don't expect anyone to know who I am because I live in the UK. I'm from The X Factor and I came fourth. It's crazy and it gives me a lot of hope."
