And while some people only watched her at the 2010 Big Day Out because you thought she might do something crazy [i.e run across the stage naked]
Lily Allen is still without a doubt a musical entrepreneur of our time.
In terms of your solo female performers, she's not your sassy Katy Perry, or classic Kylie or tragic Amy Winehouse. But she does bring something fresh to the stage.
Her quirky songs usually have a great upbeat tempo, and they are easy to sing-a-long to.
She also sings about a lot of things that I think would actually be on a lot of women's minds [but would never say so]
- It's Not Fair
- 22
- F*** You
- I Don't Know
Are a few of my top played Lily's on itunes. And all of them actually have quite an interesting message or story to them.
While she's definitely not shy about dropping any number of profanities into her songs. MTV said in February 2009 "She seems less like the model of a 21st century pop star and more like the kind of girlfriend you'd have when you're 22 – the awesome kind you'd go backpacking around Europe with, wear a sarong with. She is perfectly imperfect. Which is why she's probably also the most interesting pop star ever created."
Which is possibly why she is in the top 10 of most influential celebrities of today.
Love her or hate her, she's produced some great music, and I don't think we'll see the end of Lily for quite some time, despite the fact she has a baby on the way, due next year February.
And go have a listen to Lily's cover of Britney's Womaniser. A good song made even better with that British twang: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jOzuLsJIUE
Love from today: I heart Lily.
