  • They don't beep out the F word, but beep out the line about "giving h***" :?
  • Not too keen on her new look though

    i think shoes really pritty

    Pervert or illiterate? :wink:
    I think the pritty is a reference to Prit Stik - ie she's sticky - doesn't bear thinking about.

    I think it is reference how the old bloke with the shotgun used to pronounce things in the cartoons.

    There was an article in one of the papers on Friday. Which said something along the lines that textspeak was actually more accurate than correctly spelt (or something in that region)

  • I like Lilly Allen quite a bit, and her dads funny, her songs though they often contain profanity are quite amusing IMHO.
    I haven't got a problem with it in songs, ok it's not pleasant when there are kids and adults together in the same room BUT the kids know the words by the time they are 11 anyway.
    She definately ain't fat more like a real healthy shape that the fashion industry should push instead of the ever so persistant heroin chic cum skeletal look....I LIKE STURDY GIRLS... there I have said it, cuddly rocks!!!
    I dont like the way she appears or is often photographed smoking though, not a good role model for young girls but hey it's a free country!

  • I think Katy Brand did the perfect skit on Lily Allen. I liked "Smile" but find the rest of her output a bore and her constant need to get in the papers (while singing about people doing the same) dull. But most of all I hated the way she tried to originally sell herself as some poor working class girl living on a council estate eating beans because her mum was so poor. Yeah, so poor that she's a BBC producer and poor Lily went to Private schools. :roll:

  • Yup, it's old age. I'm 46 but I learned to swear at school and had practical demonstrations from my parents, though I'd have had a thick ear if they'd actually heard ME swearing!

    There's always been songs with swearing and sex in, they just used to tend to get banned from the radio/tv by the moral upstanding well to-do Beebeecee type that went to church on Sunday with the wife and shagged their secretary on Monday. Each young generation likes to think its a bit more radical than the previous but we've seen it all now.

    I'm not bothered by the swearing as such, it's the sexual messages that adult popstars aim at children, and the 'gangstas' that promote crime to the same (I'm reminded of some young rapper on a tv interview, looking hardly out of nappies himself. When asked why he was wearing a white plaster on his cheek he replied that it was a sign of solidarity with his 'brother' who was inside...would have been more honest if he'd said that he wanted to look tough by association cos he knew everyone would ask him why he was wearing a white plaster on his cheek...muppet)...but that's probably just a sign me ME getting old. :roll:

    I think she is a female version of Robbie Williams. Her songs are glib, hypocritical crap and a bit too clever by half.

    She's just a bit too sh*t really.
  • Well, after seducing mega-rich art dealer Jay Jopling while he was going through a messy divorce (and mid-life crisis?), I'm wondering when the song for that one is going to appear.

    She's a sad reflection of what this nation has become, along with the excruciating Amy Whinehouse.

    You're talking jive. What do want Vera Lynn?

    Anyway, Lily Allen is original, witty, musically gifted and has a certain honesty in her songs that really like. Amy Whinehouse has bags of talent too.

    If you don't want to know about their private lives, just avoid the trashier elements of the media; apart from Whinehouse having a substance abuse problem, I have absolutely no idea what they get up to. Even if you do read The Mail, The Sun or perhaps celebrity magazines for girls, then you shouldn't believe them. What I'm saying is that it's very easy to opt out of a celebrity culture. I guess celebrity culture is what you were on about or maybe you meant that you pine for the days of the Raj? Anyway, don't be so down on the UK or Lilly Allen.

    Oh and lighten up! (Said he). :lol:

    I'd love to be able to avoid the sordid details of their private lives, but even 'serious' news programmes have become contaminated with this celebrity dross, my off switch is going to break through overuse. Why it's even infected cycling fora such as this!

    And there is no escaping the mockney, teeth-curling, paint-stripping caterwaul that passes for singing these days, it seeps at you from patronising piped music systems, booms out with uncouth overamplified bass from passing cars. Allen, Whinehouse, Duffy et al... this cultural pollution, these steaming turds on the musical pavement are becomming more pervasive. They are becomming in that cringeworthy local radio phrase "The music of your life". They are there in the backround in the significant life events of more and more people, children will be concieved and grow up with this McMusic and some of them with unimaginative parents will for the rest of their miserable lives be saddled with the names of these talentless, concieved by focus group non-talents... and there are many more being created as you read this, a veritable production line of brain-killing drivel...

    There's plenty more where this came from but I'd better watch my blood pressure...

    Wow...you really do need to lighten up - it's only pop music, not an oppressive political regime!

    I disagree about the non-talent statement in reference to these performers though; Lilly Allen can write pop songs & can sing. That at least puts her above the numerous non-talents that are out there.....I agree that there are too many of them about.

    Out of interest, what's the music of 'your' life I'm guessing Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Lou Reed or maybe Iggy Pop or Bowie if you're in a good mood. Am I close?

    PS My eldest daughter is called Amy but I can assure that it's nothing to do with Whinehouse!

    I spent twelve years working in a factory with a pounding piped music system, despite numerous protests there was no escaping it or even a chance of having the channel changed or the volume turned down. Being partially-sighted and so being more reliant on my hearing as a 'early-warning' system I found being exposed to such noxious noise (Waydio Wun or Yokel Waydeeyo) more stressful as time went on, I searched in vain for other work, with my condition there was nothing to be found. Eventually I suffered a nervous breakdown and clinical depression and was forced to leave the job that had become unpleasant and unsuitable for me, That Bloody Noise was one of the bigger straws that broke this camel's back...

    ...so it's not just a harmless thing, it can and does have adverse effects on people.

    Crikey, that sounds Orwellian! I guess it is different if you are effectively forced to listen to music.

    Am I just getting old? A bit of a fuddy duddy? But when did it become ok to write a song with the lyrics f*** you.

    Lilley Allen must have made millions from this extremely stupid song (yeah I know there is an underlying message if you can be f***** to look for it).

    Many radios play it constantly.

    Now in my day, he says with a slight stutter, half - if not more - of the song would have been beeped out perhaps even banned. Why is it ok today?

    I know too, yeah I try to stay in touch, that some rap songs and others use the F word a fair bit, but Allens song has it as the main chorus.

    I think if I were to vote for the song of all time I hate the most this would probably be it.


    Yeah but you would though wouldnt you? :wink::D

    I wouldn't do her, but the album is good, as good as her first one imo.

    Breath of fresh air our Lily....

    Are you pis$$ed or just on drugs mate? These two are the best talented singers in the UK in the last 20 years, Winehouse especially. Just got to get her off the drugs man ...

    I think her lyrics are excellent - not usually my kind of music but I'm definitely keen on her newer stuff. Great voice too.

    Not sure on her looks but she's certainly not bad.
