Lily Allen - is she any good?

[TriggerHippy]

Lily Allen ... if a loaf of bread could sing, it would sound like this .... completely vapid, meaningless crud.

Like everyone on here listens to Stravinsky

More like a bunch of IT geeks that play air trumpet to a Phil Collins song on Radio 2.

She is young, plays decent music she writes herself and people like it.

She was at the studios in Bristol when I was working there, doing an interview with Sally and Kevin. Seemed OK (based on the fact that nothing untoward happened as she walked past my desk), but then again, they don't usually kick off when they're at a radio station for an interview.

Amy Winehouse was there not long after, and everybody commented on what a pleasant and charming person she was

Excellent band, Magazine

The Correct Use of Soap was also a brilliant album

Pretty good live band too

:

I am proud owner of secondhand daylight, correct use of soap and the first album on both CD and vinyl - the secondhand daylight CD I came across recently in Borders.

Saw Magazine at Derby Ajanta cinema (it was the old Derby playhouse that became an Asian Cinema - now long since pulled down). They were supported by Bahaus.

I saw Joy Division at the same venue, and Ultravox, (pre Midge Ure.)

Saw Devoto playing solo at Derby Blue Note club a few years later too.

Happy days

SO - for a woman to be successful she has to be shag someone to get there?
Hmm is it cold in your cave?

I think her voice is dreadful and the lyrics dire.

However I see why you are offended and shall alter my views accordingly:

I think she's awful but she must be bribing someone at Radio 2 because she is permanently on their playlist.

Probably with BJs, but how she gives a BJ with a paper bag over her head, I don't know.
