why am I finding her so irritating this time round? Have urge to throw shoe at radio / telly when she comes on

she never grated this much before. Well a bit, like when she sang that line about being on a bike cos the filth took away her license. But why so much now?

Unintentionally ironic since she's now a weight-losing, Chanel-toting, Louboutin-wearing super-slick sleb herself.

I can't stand her. She is just tries too hard. There has never been a finer example of a know it all, obnoxious teenager, apart from Peaches Geldof that is.

The accent bugs me (she seems to be quite well-spoken when she's talking, where does the cockney thing come from when she's singing?) but she's altogether less obnoxious than Kate Nash, who really did/does make me want to take a weapon to myself.

Her new song kind of reminds me of that one Pink did a while back?

I like Lily Allen - she has been through a lot in the last few years and people really pulled her apart.

The song is supposed to be ironic, a piss-take on how people expect her to be from hat they read about her.

I used to irrationally dislike her until she was on the Sunday Night Project when I thought she was really good. I had absolutely no idea of her connection to Harry Enfield - whom she calls her Stepdad.

mayorquimby · 12/02/2009 11:06

her actual dads a tosser anyway.
she on the other hand is brilliant. her first album was class, and i liked her song with dizzee rascal

donnie · 12/02/2009 14:19

she is dull and has a voice like any other girl out there. And that fake cockney is so pretentious and irritating! She is boring - the only reason she is famous is because she is the daughter of a celebrity type and it goes with the territory. She'll be doing her own perfume range next - can't wait. An 'ironic' perfume range, natch. Plus maybe some 'ironic' clothes ranges - oh, wait, she did that already...

notnowbernard · 12/02/2009 14:27

I neither like nor dislike her

But I reckon her music is probably the sort of thing you'd enjoy listening to if you were a 15yr old girl

AitchTwoOh · 12/02/2009 14:31

aw, i like her. i want to be her friend and to tell her how lovely she is and not to try so hard. i was just gutted for her when she lost her little baby, that was such a shame so late on.

notnowbernard · 12/02/2009 14:32

(And, sadly, I am not a 15yr old girl)

Lola (of Chrlie and Lola fame) is now starting to remind me of Peaches Geldof. Far more irritating than Lily Allen.

Lily's a plastic cockney but I don't mind her (and I'm chippy as they come!)At least she has the intelligence to laugh at herself sometimes.

AitchTwoOh · 12/02/2009 14:47

i love her laugh. i love anyone who really throws their head back.

i think maybe i have a little crush on her and would not be a suitable friend...

Tortington · 12/02/2009 14:51

i want to dislike her - but i can't help but love her gobshyteyness.

i like her hair too

i think shes a but damaged

ThreadieMair · 12/02/2009 14:52

Same here, custardo -- I admire her gobshiteness. Like father like daughter.

ThreadieMair · 12/02/2009 14:54

(Was really disappointed when I finall heard some of her songs the other day, though. Boring.)

beansontoast · 12/02/2009 14:56

nah...she is lovely

Sazisi · 12/02/2009 15:07

Anyone Elton John doesn't like is probably alright

Mintyy · 12/02/2009 15:12

I like her, although I'm old enough to be her mum. I knew her dad (not biblically) in the 80s.

She always seems quite chirpy except when she's teetering on the edge of something.

I consider myself to be the average radio listener and I get that the song is ironic. Dear God!!! is it really not obvious? I'd hazard a guess that only one in a hundred average radio listeners hearing that song would fail to understand the point of it ...

poshsinglemum · 27/02/2009 20:19

I like her new song- I think it's sposed to be a piss-take of fame really.
