I LOVELOVELOVE Lily Allen. <33
Main reasons; she speaks her mind and doesn't care what people think, and she looks like an average girl.

I'm a huge fan of her music, but I can't say that I care for her too much as a person, or of the person that she appears to be, rather.

I really like her music, it's something different and the lyrics are great...I think she's a bit reckless and I'm not sure I'd like her if I met her but I still want to see her live. I like ehr for her music:thumb_yello:

Well she got pregnant, and was supposedly still drinkng and smoking throughout her pregnancy, and then 'miscarried'. I think she seems kind of irresponsible.
mandilambi
01-04-2008, 04:38 AM
My dislike began when she kept starting tours and not finishing them because she appeared to just not want to put the energy into it.
Also I can certainly appreciate someone that speaks their mind...but when people just outright say stuff to start fights...that's when it becomes nothing but childish.

She looks better as a brunette.
My sister saw pictures of her the other day and just said "Sell out."
GhostsInTheRadio
11-04-2008, 03:24 AM
I'm on the phone with MY sister and just said "Lily Allen went blonde!"
She goes "I don't know who Lily Allen is..."
I love her music, but she's so fake. Look at the whole thing with Noel Fielding. She was getting along with him all nice and laughing with him on 'Big Fat Quiz of the Year', then she made fun of him on her talkshow, then she's being all nice to him again.
I think she's just a bored little girl who comes from money.
mandilambi
11-04-2008, 03:30 AM
I have to agree....she just comes off as a spoiled brat most of the time.
She put out a really great record, but for the most part I can't stand her otherwise. :-S
GhostsInTheRadio
11-04-2008, 03:39 AM
Agreed.
I do quite like her style though.
My friend from England (whom I've known a few years) was annoyed with her before she was even a somebody in the states. I remember her telling me how I'd eventually get sick of her like she did, and told me to listen to Kate Nash instead.

Her myspace site is so well-managed!
Bloggs every month, and a link to her TV show and a lot of other things.
You got the feeling like she really cares about her fans and her audience.:wub2:
I hate to say this but my opinion is that our boy maybe could learn a thing or two from his fellow artist!:naughty:

Yes I'm worried about that too, she is so talented, she has so much potential, let’s hope her bragging about the drinking only is a childish faze that disappears as she gets more mature!:wink2:

18-04-2008, 03:26 PM
I have to disagree with you about Lily, Sienna. I think she does the blogs for herself. She doesn't seem to care about her fans at all.
I know I felt like she slapped me in the face when she cancelled her tour (which I had tickets to) and she basically said "I don't care, I don't want to do it. But hey, you'll get a refund."
I don't think Mika has anything to learn from her. Unless of course you want him to go out on stage dead drunk and smoking cigarettes.

Honestly, I do like Gwen's better. I think it was pretty the way it just sort of faded from light pink to darker.

I just read today that she said she's touring the US starting April 1 and her schedule is open for the whole month so I'd expect some dates very soon.
She did all ages shows in Toronto so you might get lucky this time around. Keep an eye out.

Lily's new album is amazing! :rox!:
http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=-vhLyApPi_M
and she covered The Clash pretty well ^^

The Clash cover enchanted me, really! Lily puts an unusual charm and sensibility in her interpretation. She even made me stand "Womanizer", and now i like the song!

I smell a major case of Cutting Crew-ish borrowing in her new album. Is it just me or has she listened too much to Take That's 'Shine'? :roftl:
EDIT: Oh, okay, just read in the booklet that she actually really credited them.
However, the whole album doesn't sound very unique to me.

Yeah she said in the summer that it wasn't even going to be on the album because she'd ripped it off and couldn't be bothered with the paperwork. :roftl:
I guess she sorted it out because they eventually gave her permission to use it.
I find the Fear sounds like a Barenaked Ladies song, although not in a ripped off way. It just sounds as if it has been written by them in the same way Billy Brown sounds like a Beatles song.
Generally speaking though no one has done anything truly original since the 1980s so everyone is subject to this criticism. It doesn't bother me as long as they do it well and are influenced by good music and not some crap I hated the first time around. :naughty:

I totally agree. It's just that her new album is one of few in which I find bits within almost each song of that I'm sure I have heard them elsewhere. She's probably really good with influences. However, I don't regret having bought it, it's really quite enjoyable.

Yeah, the enjoyable part is all that matters for me. I love just about everything Mark Ronson does from influencing the sounds on Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen's last albums to sampling other songs to make new ones or just plain covers. I like all the horns, sax, his artist/song choices, the new arrangements, etc.
But something like Gym Class Heroes' Cupid's Chokehold makes me think "no talent hacks". I couldn't stand that Supertramp song when it was on the charts the first time and some monotonous talking over it doesn't do much to improve it.

I'm not finding the sound very original either. I'm liking the lyrics though. Trouble is, they wear off (with me anyway) quicker than tunes.

i agree with you.
my sister (who doesn't know English) still enjoys some mika songs like Relax etc. but she got quickly bored with Lilly's first album. She thinks they all have similar tunes. First she said "smile" was better than relax. now the opposite.
i still enjoy listening her first album though.
Also i liked the new one ,she is a good song writer.

I must say that I was never a Lily fan, but the new album is strangely growing on me, and I can totally see myself getting it in a couple of days :roftl:

Lily's so cute :wub2:
I am quite enjoying Lily's new album. Thank you to the friendly donor who made it possible for me to have a bit of listen today. The song that has the nasty word in its title (which I will have to remind myself when kids are around) actually reminds me of a Carpenters song (the beginning).
*edit - I remember the song now - "Close To You"!

But Lily gave her best in the pic in which she was with Elton John at GQ Men of the Years Awards 2008: she went on a spree with a big bottle of champagne in her hand at Elton's back...and he looked like a conceited old turkey who suffered an affront!:floor:

Do you notice that the level of sugary sweetness of the melodies and tone of her voice is always inversely proportionate to that in the lyrics of her songs? :naughty:

I've been listening to her new album a lot and I absolutely love it!:wub2:
Catchy melodies, clever lyrics and her voice! Her voice!:mf_lustslow:
She is the only one so far who comes even remotely close to Mika’s music imo(okay, I’m not counting Beatles now:naughty:).
Her way of singing makes it easy (easier) to register the lyrics and there’s something about the tunes, the melodies that immediately catches my ears and my attention!
After listening to a few interviews with her I’m so happy to establish that she has matured a lot and that is a thing I’ve been waiting for!
Good for her!:thumb_yello:

I actually really like it. A lot. I have been listening to it everyday since Christine gave it to me last week.
It's singable (because she doesn't belt out high notes) and it has catchy tunes (which I am a sucker for). So I'm really excited to see her in April with my regular MFC concert pals (Christine, zoots, and closetmikafan). :yay:

It's absolutely worth buying imo, I love it!
Many of the songs are, like you put, it pieces of art.
But my weak spot is and has always been this kind of melodic songs, not a wall full instruments but where you can distinguish them from each other and sung in a way that you get a chance to hear what the song is about....

Just who exactly does Lily Allen think she is?
While playing some gigs in Lily's neck of the woods, DJ Felix Da Housecat was personally assaulted by the Tiny Trollop.
According to TheeRealFDH's Twitter, Lily was so "F**K*D UP" that she invited herself into Felix's hotel room, causing the DJ "2 CALL SECURITY." Then "LILy jus told me F**K FELIX DA HOUSECAT," prompting Felix to conclude "YES!…i dont think she knew who was..I mean maybe 4 a min…Her Guitar player escorted her…she scared the daylights outta me."
Nice one, Lily.
Classy, as always!

I don't know why she picked "Not Fair" for her 2nd single :shocked: the song is one of the worst on the album if you ask me, PLUS the video is really dull! :thumbdown: I don't like it at all.

new vid. is boring.
obviously it was meant to be funny but it's plain boring.
Agree. The idea was good and goes well with the music but it should have been build up somehow - like show a story / funny bits.. whatever:thumbdown:
It's funny because I used to like this song a lot before the video came out and now I find it boring:blink:

been to see Lily tonight!
It really was an awesome concert...we had good spots in the second row although we only went to the venue at 7:15 pm (doors opened at 8 pm).
I didn't expect her voice to be so good when she sings live - her songs are amazing live!
She did all of the songs of her 2nd album (I think) plus her biggest hits and "Oh my god" (Kaiser chiefs cover), plus "Womanizer" (Britney cover).
The people kept cheering for her and we also sung her the happy birthday song (when she said that it was hers last Saturday) :biggrin2:
It was also great to see Martin again!
He seems to be very comportable in the band.
I'm happy I went! :rock:

Oh I love that song, thanks for the link.
I was really impressed with her show. I saw her in 2006 and 2007 but her new set is so much better. She looks and sounds fantastic.

So tonight while MFC travels & gets ready for the Milan gig, I was front row at Lily Allen in Tokyo. She was really good.
She had a couple of puffs of her ventolin after the first song, and by the third song was lighting up a fag!:boxed:
The Tokyo security is so strict, they were taking cameras away again, but I have been developing this method of secretly filming gigs lately with the camera against my (ample) chest, which conceals the light from the back, but also prevents me seeing what is recording!!:naughty:
Anyway, I didn't dare get it out till the encore for Lily, when she did Smile, The Fear and Womanizer, which are my 3 faves anyway. She was really good.
My crappy videos all mashed together:

The Japanese guy next to me got the set list, and said to me, I never heard that song Womanizer before...here was me, one of the more "mature" fans telling him, it was a Britney cover, and he can see it on Youtube:naughty:

Yep. Staying two nights in CBD. Seeing Lily on Friday. We've (Bec, DC and I) applied to be on Rove to watch her perform, which is on the Sunday. Hopefully we get to go to that too. Waiting on an email from them.
So, maybe 3 nights in the city. :woot_jump:

i love the video and the whole concept i just dont think it belongs with that song it just seems awkward and doesnt fit with the whole meaning of the song... and everything
I can't believe she actually chose "F*ck You" as her next single :shocked: It's one pf the songs I don't really like on this album... Though the video's really funny. :naughty:
PLEASE LILY, pleeeaase choose "Back To The Start" for your next single :crybaby:

Soooo...
I saw Lily Allen last weekend. Was in the front row thanks to a fellow Mikamite being obsessed with front row-ness. :naughty: We lined up from 4:30pm and I was 9th in line. I got lots of good pics. I really like her more than I did before I went (which always happens with me anyway :teehee: )
I only filmed a part of LDN because I was having too much fun to think about that. There was a point where Lily said she could smell someone smoking, and she told them off (without knowing who it was) and said that she felt like a smoke because of it. So a heap of people threw smokes on stage at her and then she told them to stop throwing them at her. A few lighters were thrown on stage as well. At one point she passed her half full glass to the girls in the centre of the front row and the person behind them quickly stole the straw out of the glass. :naughty:
Smokes, red shoes and the glass of unknown substance that got given away.

Welcome!! :biggrin2:
You'd enjoy it, though she pretty much just walks from side to side of the microphone to begin with, but towards the end she started dancing around more.
Nothing compared to Mika dancing all over the place. :naughty:
Hopefully, he does come back for you soon though :wink2:
Lily had a gig on the EXIT festival in Novi Sad on the 9th :boing: Sadly I wasn't there, but I watched her gig on telly and it was FANTASTIC! She was so spontaneous, so relaxed and her communication with the crowd is just amazing. I loved the part when she just dragged a cigarre out of her pocket and started smoking,like there was nothing happening :naughty::wub2:
She played like, 9-10 songs - most from the 2nd album except "Smile" and "The Littlest Things". :thumb_yello:

From The Sunhttp://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/2652941/Lily-confirms-retirement-from-music.html
LILY ALLEN has confirmed she will never make another album.
The Smile singer made the announcement on her new blog - called It's Not Alright, which aims to stop people file sharing music on the internet - revealing she has no plans to release new songs or tour again.
She wrote: "Just so you know, I have not renegotiated my record contract and have no plans to make another record. I do however remain a fan of new music, so this is not some selfish crusade.
"The days of me making money from recording music has been and gone as far as I'm concerned, so I don't stand to profit from legislation. Except future purchases of previously recorded material."
The 24-year-old star is now focusing on her appearance in a London theatre production called 'Reasons to be Pretty', which follows a group of working-class people who are bored with their lives.
It is not the first time Lily has voiced her desire to give up her singing career.
Earlier this month, she said: "I'm not going record and tour again for quite a while.
"I finish up my dates in March and I'll be ready to do something else. I've been on the road for four years and I've given my voice a real run for its money. I'm struggling, so I'm going to try something new.
"The play is about themes close to my heart, about the really damaging cult of beauty among young girls."

Ok, I usually don't wish musicians any 'happy something' but I just wanna spend some words about Lily; I think she's the only young singer around brave enough to resort not to sex expedients in her videos and gigs. What female singer refuses to use them? I see so many wagging tongues, exposed boobs, crotches, bottoms, craving for scandalize and stuff like that...I mean: in the '**** you" video Lily doesn't appear at all, she probably can afford it.
So, I hope she won't end her music career, she's an exceptional case:thumb_yello:

I actually heard of Lily Allen before Mika and saw her first gig in North America in 2006. Mika's old guitarist went on tour with her while Mika was working on his second album.
I don't recall her every playing the piano. Do you know of any videos?
