Ahead of the show, the Cheryl Cole-a-like revealed she was planning to wow the audience with a saintly performance, and ditch her ‘bad girl rapper’ image.
‘This weekend’s going to be a massive shock and I hope everyone is prepared for it because everyone is used to me being a bad girl rapper,’ she said ahead of the show.
‘I’m going to twist it up a bit and prove to the other people that maybe haven’t liked me as much as my supporters have, to think that actually I’m an alright singer.’
And now Cher has had the last laugh, blasting doubters out of the water, and revealing she thinks her tearful rendition of Shakespears Sister's Stay was her ‘best performance ever.’
‘Vocally, I thought it was my best so far,’ she said. ‘It was very, very emotional.
‘It was also a bit of payback to people who have been nasty to me, and also to show people I can sing.
‘I think I've proved my point now.’
