X Factor: Ella Henderson's Believe made Cher cry!

@Cher tweeted: Work Done... Went on Youtube to see a young girl sing Believe! Tears came 2 my eyes! So Touching! A Great version of a Great Song. WE Can Share It!

Can you believe Cher watched you online?

I’m still pinching myself! To have the ACTUAL Cher tweet that she’d seen my performance was mind-blowing. I’ve been smiling all day. It is quite frankly UNBELIEVABLE! I can’t believe she cried.

Nicole cried too…

I had no idea I made her cry. I was lost in my performance and totally unaware of my surroundings.  I feel honoured that my performance touched her so much. I hope people are crying tears of happiness!

Do you have a fave Judge?

I love Tulisa! We made such a connection after my Audition when she came backstage to hug me.

You’re an excellent writer. Any tips?

Do whatever comes naturally. I find that I write my best songs when I’m angry or sad – when you’re feeling those raw emotions.

You’re gorgeous looking too…

Awww, thank you! Though, I don’t see myself like that. I’m like any 16-year-old girl. I have days where I don’t like looking in the mirror. I’m very into 1950s glamour. I’m all about winged eyeliner and beehives.

Did you enjoy the bootcamp shows?

I loved Rylan. That whole diva hoedown was hilarious. He was so much fun to be around at bootcamp. He’s a great guy. He hasn’t tried to spritz me with fake tan yet. That boy does love his beauty treatments. Amy’s got a beautiful, soulful voice too.

Any other performances you enjoyed?

Lucy Spraggan’s Tea and Toast was another highlight for me. I was privileged enough to have her perform it for me personally in our hotel room during bootcamp. I burst into tears afterwards. It’s so beautifully written and very sad.

Do you know what the song is about?

Yes. When Lucy was busking she saw an old, loved-up couple walk by and the woman literally dropped dead in front of her. Lucy was naturally very traumatised by what she saw and went home to write a song in their honour based on how she imagined their relationship to be.

Anything you’d like to say to your fans?

I just want to say a big thank you. All the online supporters have really boosted my confidence and have inspired me to be the best musician I can be.

Are you an Ella fan or is it a case of too much hype? Could she end up another Subo and fall at the final hurdle?
