Cher On Ella Henderson's X Factor Performance of 'Believe': Tears Came To My Eyes!

superstar
Cher herself has commented on the sensational performance of 'Believe' by 16-year-old 'X Factor' singer Ella Henderson.

The name Ella Henderson may not mean anything yet to those living outside the United Kingdom but for the 9 million people that tuned into last night's UK 'X Factor', they know that it's the 16-year-old girl who performed a stunning ballad-version of Cher's 1998 chart-topper 'Believe'.

Henderson, who sang a self-penned song in the audition stage of X Factor, stated pre-performance during last night's Boot Camp stage, "Today, instead of doing a song that I'd normally just go for and be like, 'Yeah, I can do that', I wanted to challenge myself a bit more and pick a song that was completely out of the box and out of my comfort zone."

It turns out that Cher's "fab night" out was at The Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles to watch the musical 'The Book of Mormon'. In these photos, we get to see Cher's entire outfit during her attendence of the award-winning musical - which was written by South Park's Matt Parker and Trey Stone.

The 66-year-old songstress, well-known for her flamboyant fashion style, was sporting a pair of black leggings, fishnet stockings, large earings and an eye-catching purple Philip Treacy hat.

More Twitter Photo Uploads From Cher

On her way to a "fab night", Cher took a few - blurry - photos of herself in the back of her car.

Luckily for fans, due to Cher's use of social networking site Twitter, she can upload photographs of herself any time she wants to her legion of followers. Hours ago, she tweeted some of herself riding along to a night out.

Two of the photographs show Cher from her neck-upwards, whilst a third shows her from her bust-upwards. Smiling in all three - with a huge grin in the third - the snaps do not reveal much about what the 'Beleive' singer was wearing to her "fab night" ahead. However, we do get to see that she was sporting, as she almost-always does lately, her natural long black hair.

Fellow Cher site 'CherWorld' has posted brief words from Cher's long-time press rep Liz Rosenberg about Cher's new album - which begins with "Get ready".

Is Cher's New Album Going To Have Some Old Time Rock & Roll?

Cher is to pick an "old hit" to record on her new album.

Cher is no stranger to reviving an old hit song by somebody else and turning it into her own classic - 'The Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss)', 'Love Hurts' and 'The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore' are such examples - so it isn't hugely surprising that her record company is insisting on Cher doing the same again.

Cher revealed that her record company have asked her to "sing an old hit" for her new album. On Twitter, she wrote, "My record company wants me to sing an old hit! I'd like to do a song by a guy (like Bruce Springsteen) but a great song by a woman is wonderful!"

Cher has been speaking of touring once more!

I'm sure most of you will remember that Cher initially planned her new tour tour to start in September 2012 – yes, this month. Unfortunately, a foot injury - perhaps amongst other things – led her to postpone the tour's debut until who-knows-when.

Now, the pop icon has explained that yes, the tour will go ahead, but that it is anything other than a simple process. On Twitter, she wrote, “Yes [I will tour again] but it's not easy! Months of planning, hundreds of people, endless rehearsals! Fittings, wigs, a city on the move...”.

Will We Hear The 'Cher Effect' On Cher's New Album?

Cher in concertIn 1998, Cher's worldwide number one hit 'Believe' showcased what is generally believed to be the first example of using Auto-tune strictly for creative purposes on a commercially-available song - with it transforming Cher's vocals into almost-robotic results due to using extreme settings on the software. This, today, is known as the 'Cher Effect'.

Cher went on to use the 'Cher Effect' on several songs such as the 'The Music's No Good Without You', 'When You Walk Away' and 'A Different Kind Of Love Song' on her last album - 2001's US top ten 'Living Proof'.
