I love "Smile" and I'd consider buying the album if it wasn't the only stand-out track or catchy song. Is the album like that or is it worth buying? EVERY song on there is insanely catchy. I wasn't expecting much when I bought it... But I adore it. You have to buy it!

I Wikipedia'd her and I saw this: "Blank Expression" (exclusive iTunes track 12 of Alright, Still album) Is that the fourth bonus track? Jeez I'm so late. And is the album title really changing to "Alright, Then" for America? Nope, it's still going to be called Alright, Still.

I read they changed it to "Alright, Then" because of British/American slang on Wikipedia but hey - you never know how true that is.

Sunday Morning (aka U Killed it) is by far her best song and it's not even on the album, BLAH.
It's a good CD though. I enjoy almost every song so far.

i wasn't gonna buy this because i've already got it d/led, but my copy of Nan You're a Window Shopper isn't that great and I want to hear the Mark Ronson remix of Smile. plus, U-myx! will be great when i'm bored. Nan You're A Window Shopper made the final cut! Ha! Also, I thought Cheryl Tweedy was going to be on the US version. Hmm, guess not. i'm happy about it. and I guess they assumed nobody here would know who Cheryl Tweedy is and wouldn't get the song, though her name is basically incidental.

Cheryl Tweedy is God, and the song is a hymn dedicated to her.

Based on the fact that mainstream sales are shit, and that independent acts are selling consistently, I think Miss Allen can take advantage of the current chart crisis & shimmy her way into the top 10 with sales of 35k-45k or so.

Cheryl Tweedy is a singer from Girls Aloud (arguably the most popular/attractive/visible member) & she's kind of an icon in the UK. The song is not really about her, but about Lily's insecurities...she happens to reference Cheryl in the chorus ("I wish I looked like Cheryl Tweedy/I know it will never be..."). Actually, Cheryl is Cheryl Cole now, she's married to Ashley Cole (the football star).

I like the song "Cheryl Tweedy" too. It's quite awesome.

Drowned In SoundLily Allen wants to marry a rich man. DiS staff distressed...Lily Allen wants to marry a man with money, apparently. Reports doing the rounds quote the singer - pictured being a right little tease and no mistake - as saying: "I want to have a really exciting block of ten, 15 years, then marry someone with enough money, get a house in the country and have lots of kids". Which, sadly, rules every sod at DiS out of the running. Allen, you don't know what you've just passed on. The first lady of Lahndahn ska-hip-pop - wut? - continued: "I really want to spend lots of time with my kids and sit round the table every night. And make Sunday roast and grow nice flowers". Me, I like plants! I have a garden, with a shed! True story. Lily Allen's 'Littlest Things' is currently in the top 100 on the crazy singles chart. Words: Mike Diver

GigwiseLily Allen Gives Madonna A Tongue LashingOnce again...by Zoheir Beig on 25/01/2007Following her comments about Madonna last year, Lily Allen as hit out at the ‘Queen of Pop’... again.This time she is accusing Madge of only selling records thanks to her popularity, rather than quality of tunes. She said: “I never say anything unprovoked, but an interviewer asked me who, in my opinion, was the most overrated pop star” “And overrated for me is someone who sells a lot of records because of who they are. And I don’t think people buy Madonna’s records because they think they’re really good” she continued. Last Summer Lily Allen began her feud with Madonna by saying: “She might have meant something once but I don’t know many people my age who care.” Lily, of course, is famous for her outspoken comments. So far Madonna has refused to reply: maybe she just doesn’t care. ================================//==================================== At least we know all the PMB Madonna fanboys/girls won't be buying Lily's album now!

Because, if you ignore what she said [which, I assume, according to your signature, you won't be doing anytime soon] it is actually a quality pop album that deserves to be heard.

Pssh. I'm a huge Madonna fan, but I like Lily, too & I don't really mind if she talks shit. I listen to her music, not her opinions.
