During her stint on X Factor UK, Cher Lloyd was a disputed contestant, with many saying she couldn't possibly make it as an artist because she was too young, too bold and too inexperienced. They were proven wrong.

Cher sat down with Billboard to cover a song of her choice for the Candid Covers segment and, contrary to what some may have expected of her, she chose a guys' song.

And it wasn't just any guys' song either, but Usher's hit “OMG,” which she adapted and made her own in a way only she could have.

Check out the video above to hear Cher perform “OMG” but also to listen to her explain why she'd go for the unlikeliest choice.
