"Cher Lloyd has claimed that Nicki Minaj &amp;quot;changed pop music&amp;quot;. The singer - who released her debut album Sticks + Stones in the US earlier this week - admitted that she&amp;#039;s a huge fan of the Queens rapper because she set a musical trend.   &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve always been a huge fan of Nicki [Minaj], she&amp;#039;s like number one for me,&amp;quot; Lloyd told PopCrush. &amp;quot;I really feel like Nicki brought that vibe in.  &amp;quot;No one was doing what she was doing, and then she came in and it was kind of one of those things where people were like, &amp;#039;Whoa. She just changed pop music&amp;#039;. And she did! There&amp;#039;s no denying it.&amp;quot; Lloyd continued: &amp;quot;She is someone I definitely look up to. I admire how brave she is. She&amp;#039;s kind of got that attitude like, do what you feel like doing, be who you are. I love that, and I love how she incorporates that with her fans as well.  &amp;quot;I can appreciate that because I&amp;#039;m a fan, and it makes me think, &amp;#039;Well if Nicki says she can do it, I can do it&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; The US edition of Lloyd&amp;#039;s debut album features two brand new tracks called &amp;#039;Oath&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;Behind the Music&amp;#039;. Listen to Cher Lloyd&amp;#039;s new US single &amp;#039;Oath&amp;#039; below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
