I really like this song! I don't really give a damn about what she says, as long as I enjoy the song. :)

I finally heard this. I really like it. It's very cute. Hope this one does well.
I kinda hear some of the similarities others pointed out to Pink's sound/style, but Lily's sound is still quite different, in a good way.

She's facing a massive backlash in the UK because of her comments... it's fine to make the odd swipe at an artist, but NOT when you've only just started, and NOT when you're doing it all the f**king time! Her music is average at best, it gets VERY irritating when it gets overplayed though (as UK radio has insisted on doing all summer)... If she's facing a massive backlash, then 'LDN' would not have made the Top 10. And what's more the subject of the song would turn people off from buying it, but it still made Top 10. Her music is very unique and critically acclaimed. It's not 'average' or 's**t', it's just very different and perhaps people in the US aren't use to it. LDN underperformed massively - for the follow-up to a massive #1 single, for such a hyped artist and when the album has done nothing spectacular, a #6 peak followed by a quick decline is poor. Besides, even if her sales aren't significantly dropping, general public consensus towards her is now very negative...

Public opinion may be slightly negative among the fan bases she upset but that's about it. There's also a lot of people who really like Lily's no shit attitude and a lot of people who may not like her but can't deny a good song when they hear it. Her album is 28 in the top selling albums of the year selling over 350k - not bad for a brand new artist with only two singles released so far.

He's British & is confirming what those of us defending her said. There's no "mass" outrage that has been sparked. She may have piqued the negative attention of a few people who need to lighten up, but her overall reception is strong. I doubt any of her remarks will hurt her here. Frankly, I think this country is crying out for someone who is new, different, and edgy and can still write cute pop songs. She's got a mouth, she's got a brain, and she's got tunes. Seems like a win-win to me.

This girl is very annoying even if this song is quite catchy. I actually don't mind hearing it on the radio.

She has a stupid mouth and she talks s**t about Madonna .. that's enough for me to deslike her. Here are some 'nice' things she had to say about people ... The only way she could describe James Blunt was β it rhymes with his surnameβ. VERY nice! Madonna: "I haven't got anything against her at all but she hasn't done anything since the early eighties that has been like 'wow'. She might have meant something once but I don't know anyone my age who cares." ... Um, see you around in 25 years from now, b***h! She commented on her again this week www.andpop.com/article/8138Allen Blasts Madonna AgainPublished: 1/25/07 at 3:34 AM ET (andPOP) - British pop star LILY ALLEN has reignited her feud with MADONNA, insisting people only buy the HUNG UP star's records because she's so famous. The SMILE singer criticised the pop queen last August, saying, "She might have meant something once but I don't know many people my age who care," and now she's lashed out at her again. She says, "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."

Well, I respectfully disagree with a lot of Allen's opinions, but I really enjoy & admire her music, and am looking forward to seeing her live on Feb. 10th.

She is not totally wrong..madonna is a icon, and for some people is probably kind of impulsive to buy anything she releases..but obviuouly this is not the reason of why she stay so successful But why would people buy something Madonna makes just because she made it? If they have no purpose of listening to it/liking it/etc, why buy it? I would save that money for something. I know that situation you mentioned does occur sometimes but not that often.

Probably more often than you think. I have a bunch of artists whose CDs I will buy just because of who they are. Granted, most of them are artists that aren't huge sellers but I'd say the same applies.

I just saw the music video, and thought the song was catchy, so I looked it up here. I had no idea about all the comments she made, and she seems a little obnoxious, but I wouldn't mind hearing the song on the radio, though.

I LOVE her album!All the songs are great! She speaks the truth. I think the press is having a field day and she may show she is a little naive and somewhat immature to call out one of the world's icons in Madonna but hey, she has a very valid point. The video for "Littlest Things" is amazing if you guys havent seen it, you definately should.
The best songs on the album are
"Everything's Just Wonderful" "LDN" "Littlest Things" "Smile" "Knock Em Out" "Shame for You"
They are all good though; great pop music!
