Artists/Line-up

Lily Allen

The Queen of MySpace! Lily's quirky blend of music styles and up-for-it cheek has made her one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary British Pop.

Reviews

Emily
I dont like her based on the fact that she is from a very rich and posh background, and she sings about harsh times on the streets. i dont think she has a clue and it comes across as very fake. Sorry love, but you're crap

india
lilly allen was great i loved her. me and my friend emily think she rocked

Star
If you were there, that last shot of Lily in the wings on the big screen - she was relieved and excited and scared and beautiful. Sure, she didn't hit all the perfect notes but she was up there and excited to be there. Loved the one-chord guitar song.

C
It wasnt the best

David O'Brien
She has sex appeal but her music sounds like something fit for a children's television show like Tellytubbies

Babydoll
Not one of Lily's srongest performances I have to admit. I saw her at the Cambridge Corn exchange and she was very good. Seems that she had some trouble breathing and was very out of breath during much of the performance. I was expecting a little more from her but perhaps it was the size of the venue etc which put a bit of a dampener on her performance but in places she was very good and no one can take away from her the excellent lyrics in the song 'shame for you' Every star has they're ups and downs but you have to go down to come right back to the top again.

Should be banned for smoking in public...childrens role model etc!! Though I suppose you smokers will claim "yuman rites"!!!!

Danni-H
Awsome!!!!!!!!

Rich
Good...but loads of really bizarre big gulps of breath......

Lily Allen
Why did they only play 5 songs of me on TV and interview me for half an hour?

Bob H
She was simply the star of the show.

E.J
lily can breath and drink how she wants she doesnt want cheap wannabes telling her what to do .. and all of her fans think she can sing and whats wrong with lily being unique? .. i love her !and whoever writes music for 3 yr olds and 4r yr olds is acting like one! .. i agree wih everybody who loved her ! <3

anon
yes, there are so many talented people out there, but who ever wrote that message obviously isnt one of them and if the lyrics are for four yr olds then why do loads of people love lily? and just because youre not into that kinda stuff doesnt mean everybody else isnt.. id like to see whoever slags lily off do better ! .. next time think before you slagg great famous bands off because its just childish .. you know what? .. whoever wrote that message about lily writing lyrics for four yr olds is acting like a four year old ! .. absolutely really talented person !

pete

Maybe Lily should concentrate less on drinking on stage and put more effort into her singing! Give it 5 years it will be "Lilly who".

lilly,shes just a natural star n what a cover of d.harrys heart of glass pure class of the sexy lass

Paul from Liverpool
No no no Lily not every song has to be in the style of 'Puppet on a String'. Next it will be 'The Drugs Dont Work' in the same style. Who on earth told you that you could sing?

Linda
Lilly allen's performance was brill!
