I can't see any reason why she'd flop - the music press and radio are already getting behind her, and her songs showcase her witty observations and personality.
According to her latest blog, Alfie didn't like his song, so she took it down, and he has also caused havoc by chucking her laptop out into the street!

Yes, but the UK music scene of late has been very fickle and ... odd. Alfie is real?? I wonder if she actually calls him 'mon frère'? Buddy should be happy his sister wrote a song about him. Am I wrong or does the song start off like 'Puppet on a String' by Sandie Shaw (wonderfully covered by Ms Emma Bunton)? x |

True, but I think Rachel's lack of success was more to do with the fact she was pretty faceless, and lacked "adult" appeal - almost the opposite of Ms. Allen. Not to mention that she seems to already has the "urban" scene down, thanks to her mixtapes, and work with Mark Ronson.
Alfie has his own MySpace! She was asking us "friends of the Lily" to add him a few weeks ago, as he had no friends! You should definitely check out her blog, it makes me laugh out loud!

"anyway I went to get a cup of tea , and this guy stopped me in the hall , " Are you Lily Allen?" cue me reaching for a pen ready to sign an autograph (joke) " er , yeah, why ?" , " " I play in Babyshambles , we really like your stuff man , you should do a show with us sometime ......." I'm thinking about wheter he's just keeping me distracted while the other bandmembers go and thief all my brand new shiny equipment ," I love her. And she hates Edith Boweman too. |

I'd hate to be called 'man' if I was a woman. I hate it when women call each other 'dude' as well. I'd rather be called a bitch (and have been!). GRRR!
Who's Edith Boweman?
I'm loving her stuff. Quirky, melodic, feminine (yes, feminine!) and oh so British.

The songs on Lily's MySpace are, at best, 64-96kbps in bitrate, so, even with polishing up, would not be CD quality (or even what is perceived as "close to CD quality" at 192-256kbps). All true enough (though isn't base CD quality 128kbps? I freely admit to not being to hot on the technical aspects of this - video is more my thing). Anyways, what matters to me is the songs are perfectly listenable for now. Roll on more LA! |

I hope she doesn't become the Rachel Stevens of the indie/pop/ska world: cool tunes, great album and an enormous flop.  Have you read her blog? She actually has a little bit more than a sliver of personality. So that's one up on Rachel! Cheerio, Michael. xxxx |

Hopefully her street cred (as mentioned above) will give her an extra edge (although her tunes don't sound like anything out there right now; odd that as they're really pretty simple). |

Her blog is too funny. She doesn't mince her words!
I don't think she'll flop. I predict complete Lily-mania in a few months time.
I have completely fallen head-over-heels in love with her. I think she's amazing. Is anyone going to see her when she plays Yoyo?

It's the limited edition 7" that's out now. Don't think the cd's out for a while.

She has a song called 'Cheryl Tweedy'. It's quite funny.

Nono. It's about wanting to look like Cheryl.
"I wish my life was not so seedy. Why am I always so greedy? Wish I looked just like Cheryl Tweedy. I know I never will, I know I never will."

its great - totally Mark Ronson styled cut-n-paste/fun/class track selection.
annie + MIA + Lady Sov + major cuteness = Success.

hmmm... keith allen's daughter, which is not neccesarily a bad thing. She's a weird one, 'cos I heard one song which was so fricken "Kooky" I wanted to throw up and rip my ears off. But then I heard another track which was rather tasty. I haven't see her vid yet, but if she's all cutesy, then she should be banished and make way for the UK's real female supastar Ms Lady Sovereign, who is still more talented than a million Lilys...

I like LDN, not heard anything else.
Her vocals on the chorus go right through me though. Too sharp.

It's official, get the strawberry splits out, the sun is shining, summer is here and 'LDN' is the anthem of the summer. I just played it very loud on my mp3 player and skipped around my garden like a jaunty butterfly such are the powers of Miss Allen.
She's onto something here. Cult appeal, Industry hype, Personality, Razor sharp wit and the tunes to back it all up. And she wants to look like Cheryl Tweedy (I bet she only chose her because Roberts doesn't rhyme with anything).
I can't wait to go live in London now. And eat in the park, which I believe they call al fresco.
