"And I performed on Sunday! Don't mug yourself off on my page. It's not cute. Go teach some dance instead."

"I do. I have done! I've said I feel bad for you," she said.

"Actually out of 100 people there's maybe three or four that want to say something mean, but I feel bad for them or I click on their profile and that's enough for me."

Cheryl's live performance made a significant change to the acoustic rendition of the track that she shared on YouTube last week.
