Lily Allens 'The Fear'

[El Jefe]

not being shit is only enough if you have a famous dad or something

so anyone in the charts WITHOUT a famous dad must be better than "not shit"?

have you thought this through?

Bill Oddie's daughter hasn't been so lucky

i wonder why?

 

[twistedAM]

i wonder why?

She sounds like a gibbon?

 

[El Jefe]

There's probably a longer list of famous offspring who've done BADLY, rather than well, despite their parents (various Lennons, Dylans, Marleys etc) so the famous dad isn't enough

 

[Cheesypoof]

her first album is realiy good though!

lily allens i mean

i didnt know who keith allen was till after i got her album.

But Keith Allen is very media savvy, a Groucho ligger, a Blur drinking mate and singer on that fuck awful Vindaloo.
It's not enough but it helps.

She's a cokey self-important twat like her dad.

no, they have different backers

of course the charts is full of people who are shit, but they are all there cs they know someone or cos someone who knows someone puts them there

people who choose what goes on the radio and mtv make the charts, and people get in the charts for whatever reason they decide

it'll help get her name out / get a deal (and perhaps growing up in that background, with Enfield around etc would give her some confidence) but I do think after that she's on her own

that's a monumental shift of goalposts. Now you're talking about anyone who's ever charted ever

self-important? really?

must have missed that in all those interviews where she seems pretty down to earth considering.

yeah, but that's down to the fact they never should have gotten a record out in the first place. if i got one atrocious record released despite my lack of talent a la Julian Lennon would be a big step up from where my singng career is right now with my non famous dad

Fix your website Isitme!

boofuckinghoo, you poor thing you.

keith allen has done some records as sidelines but lilys musical talent is far superior.

 

[El Jefe]

so you're agreeing Lily's continuing success means she does deserve to have records out?

 

[isitme]

well anyway. I think that she's a mediocore pop artist keeping good pop artists out of the chart, and she is famous cos of her dad and her connections

like her songs are ok, but there are so many pretty lasses who write ok songs, go to an open mic night anywhere in the country and there will be a lass just as pretty and talented as lily allen at least once a month

but that's true of any number of great bands playing everywhere every night. it's not in any sense a meritocracy. Is that news?

dtabase error, fuck knows what that means. i've had a few glasses of wine, i can't b looking up database errors

nah it's not news, i'm just having a whinge

i think thats wrong^^^

being able to write good songs (which she can!) is the hardest thing in the world.

not as in songs that do wel in the charts

those swedish guys wrote about 100 in 5 years

 

[electrogirl]

Anyway, I think her personality goes alot towards her success aswell. She is one of those artists who is a whole package, thing. I like the fact she's a bit gobby, and she was being interviewed this morning and she seemed really self deprecating and that her feud with Chery Cole was 'lamo' and was embarassed by the whole thing.

And was quite honest about when she has been a dickhead and stuff. I like her.

Being able to write a decent song is difficult, but there are a lot of people in the country that can do it, a lot more than the charts/media can acomodate. Only a few get through, and there's usually a reason other then their talent which helps them.

if you mean benny and bjorn they were fucking brilliant.

i dont get it.

that's just being media savvy tho. her dad trained her well, they're both famous for doing nothing

oh shutup! You can't fake a whole new personality!

Being media savvy and entertaining in interviews is a skill, you know.
