Default She's back [Lily Allen]

Fantastic piece of satire.... Probably end up the most talked about song of the year.


Best thing out of the UK in decades this girl.

Might have better satirised the current 'music' industry if it wasn't autotuned to hell and back.

I love Lily Allen... clever, funny, raw talent and a mind like a lie-detector hooked up to the World.

And She's worked really hard to come back.

Big fan.

Apparently she used auto tune on this track on purpose! All to do with what the song is about!

She is a very clever artist & love her music, very glad she is back.

Err, yeah, I'd heard that hypothesis. Thing is, when does it stop being satire and start being exactly the same as the thing its supposed to be satirising?

Waving a fat arse in the camera is what the talentless do to sell downloads after all.

Personally I'd say if its 'about the music' then aping the thing you are satirising should stop at the video - the music should stay unsatirised (and biting).

And frankly, when one of the 'artists' you are satirising is called "Thick" - how effective can you be at sending them up? They're already a joke.

I'm quite a fan, but I don't think this is even close to her previous work. She put accross this same message in the fear, and that was splendid. Her first album isn't on itunes though, which is a shame cos I broke my cd

Her song, 'Smile' is excellent. I feel like applauding when I hear it.

I have to say this one isn't growing on me, makes me feel a bit 'change the record love' so to speak. Having said that it's head and shoulders over alot of tunes nowadays.

anyone who makes music as good as this deserves an off day
