" Cher Lloyd&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;brats&amp;quot; might be surprised to learn that the singer was pretty bratty herself as a teen! Before she was performing with Taylor Swift or singing huge hits like &amp;quot;Want You Back&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Oath,&amp;quot; Cher was a contestant on the U.K.&amp;#039;s The X-Factor. The British pop-singer told MTV News she was a &amp;quot;nightmare to work with&amp;quot; back then! &amp;quot;I was 16-years-old and I wanted everything my way.&amp;quot; It&amp;#039;s been three years since Cher came in fourth place on the popular reality singing competition and she&amp;#039;s changed a lot. Cher says she&amp;#039;s learned the importance of hard work and the right attitude! &amp;quot;What I didn&amp;#039;t understand that just starting out and being in the competition, you have to earn your stripes,&amp;quot; said Cher, &amp;quot;and I didn&amp;#039;t earn my stripes and I honestly feel that I haven&amp;#039;t earned all of them yet. There&amp;#039;s still a lot of hard work to do. I don&amp;#039;t want to be the person people don&amp;#039;t want to meet...I never want to be remembered as the girl that came in and was rude to everyone and was an absolute diva even though she ain&amp;#039;t got her stripes yet.&amp;quot; What do you think of Cher&amp;#039;s transformation? Let us know in the comments! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
