Janty Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Does Lily Allen drive anybody else to distraction? If I hear 'The Fear' one more time my head might explode. That awful affected howl the she calls singing is abominable. There are others doing exactly what she does but better and she is so far up herself it must hurt. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! That's better....her 'song' has just been on the radio for the umpteenth time this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Strangely enough I think the Fear is her best song...I like the words. I wouldnt buy her records but they get my feet tapping. I have the same hate you have for lily Allen for Kate Nash...dreadful singer she is.. well you cant call it singing really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I cannot bear her either, but I quite like 'The fear' What I hate about her is the way that she sings with the most awful dropping of letters & poor pronounciation - it drives me mad & sets a really bad example. I don't care for her public image much either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 My dad used to hate hate hate Cleo Lane (Jazz singer?? is that her name, I hope so) when I was little so much so if she came on he would go into a bad mood.. I dont hate anyone, I used to go up and kiss the screen when Leo Sayer same on the telly singing though, (when I was a toddler). what was my mother doing letting me idolise Leo Sayer.. I should have words with her... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Like the song, but a girl who got her education at Bedales can't possibly be street, common, working class or whatever else she tries to sell herself as no matter who her father is. I feel really sorry for her because she seems so conflicted between trying to be a little girl, a messed up teen and a know-it-all grown up. And I do wish the papers would stop featuring her snogging men in their 40s. I don't think it's a meeting of minds in her case as much as an absent father syndrome. She is quite annoying as a 'personality'. But more fool me for reading about her. Janty have you tried listening to Classic FM as an antidote?

I'm with your parents here.......on both counts I'm afraid Carl knows I didn't like Cleo Laine and sings "do be do....." sounds to wind me up Leo Sayer.........I replaced my ancient cassettes with CDs recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 My husband likes Duffy who I cant abide. Her gravelly voice reminds me of Bonnie Tyler and Rod Stewart. My 13 yr old agrees with me. Lily sings appalingly but I'm a sad cow as I find myself singing along without being aware of it We have Capital Radio on during school run and so I can name a few artists much to the kids friends amazement. I do get told off for singing loudly to songs by both kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachel19 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I love lily allen - I have her albums and love the new one. The fear is one of my favourite songs at the moment and one of her best i think - pretty much sums up fame seekers these days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Scott Mills on Radio 1 introduced this song as Lily Allen's latest to listeners and people actually rang in to say it was her best yet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwquInGlZFQ Just about sums it up really.

chickencam Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I like some of her stuff, some clever funny lyrics, but some of it is offensive and she can't perform live to save her life. OH likes her thinks she's cute. She is a pretty mixed up individual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Just reviving this thread. Has anyone seen her new video for the song "Not Fair". it has loads of chicken action in it!!!! And after a bottle of cheap wine the song aint bad either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 Only one bottle? That's unfair really as I haven't heard it...will try to endure that later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I would have to be strapped to a chair Clockwork Orange style. Is the new song the one about how unskilled in certain departments her boyfriend is? Classy as ever Lily... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 The song sounds like it's been written by a five year old. Without slick production values, it would be unbearable. With them, I'd say a bottle of tequila is needed. There is some hot maran action at the start though. I hope the chooks weren't traumatised by having to hang out with her.

Scramble Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I honestly do find her arrogant and annoying ..but I like her music.. I leave now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I find her tunes quite catchy, although would never buy them. But this latest one Nothing in it to attract the attention of the censors, but a bit in yer face lewd. Probably me being a bit prudish, but I don't like listening to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 It's not swear words that bother me, just the sentiments - nasty Don't think I'll bother getting the album though [/color] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
