From NME.com via Rolling Stone comes word that DiS's favourite Allen after Allens Woody and Clive may quit the singing/songwriting lifestyle if her second album tanks.
The singer told the stateside magazine she'd consider a move into A&R if album two - working title Stuck On The Naughty Step - isn't received favourably by the public.
Says she: "I'm really scared about what people are going to say. Some people will like it and some won't. If people hate it, then I'll just try something else... I'd really like to do A&R at a record company. I love going to gigs."
A work experience position at DiS can be made available, Lily. We look forward to your application.

Stuck on the naughty step?
Fuck the fuck off.
Perez is reporting that a duet with Lindsay Lohan in the works.
sometimes i do wonder where he gets his info.
i bet she'll want in free to thoes
gigs she loves so much.
Please Flop
Please, please, please flop
what a prick
what she means is, if the record flops the record company will tell her to fuck off. silly cow. as if she had any part in making the sodding thing anyway.
I doubt she'll have to work her way up in A&R
fucking sickens me!
I'm quite neutral on Lily Allen
Not a massive fan but don't really get the vitrol either.
But in any case she really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really should change that album title. It's terrible!
great
let's make it happen.
Whats not to hate eh?
"Hi im Lily Allen and i dont really give a shit about music, I just throw everything against the wall and see what sticks. If NOTHING sticks, mum & Dad will see me good! *insert vile witch-like cackle here*"
If she stops doing singing...
...what exactly will she be FOR?
Her performance at Glasto with Mark Ronson
pretty much sums up her devotion to music... can't even be arsed to remember the lyrics to just one song. Okay, I know Elvis couldn't sometimes, but she ain't no Elvis.
She's a beligerant, nepotistic bitch.
Allen >>>>>> Kate Nash
but that's like being asked would you rather be punched in the face or kicked in the balls.
what is with all the hate?
im neutral on the whole matter too, just wondering why everyone is so anti-Allen...
why can't she
do her own fashion label or something? it'd be easier to ignore her. Or maybe she can leak a sex tape on the internet and have people saying for months "is it her? looks like jade goody"
For the record she quit singing the moment she released a record.
for a start
it won't flop. it will be a very similar album to the first one, except most of the lyrics will be a cheeky piss take of what it is like to be a celebrity. it will either be fairly massive or really really massive. so she isn't going away.
the sad thing is the way she obviously doesn't give a shit about music and if it did go tits up she'd do something else. she seems completely driven by the need for other people to like her.
could you imagine if she became an a&r? some poor band would have all their credibilty destroyed quicker than you could say 'discovered by lilly allen!!'.
What about Martin?
shocking oversight
Whats wrong wwith not...
caring about music?
She's like most popstars these days
They just see it as a way in to a career as a tv presenter.
you should care about music
if that is what you do with your life.
I work in admin
couldnt care less about it though.
||X/
^ fingers crossed
she did
She 'designed' a few shit dresses for New Look last year
It sounds like
she's preparing for the worst already! I wouldn't be surprised if this record does flop to be honest, I don't know how much longevity she has as a singer and those sample lyrics the other week were terrible - that said, if Radio 1 play it, it'll sell by the bucketload I have no doubt.
blimey!
it's all gone a bit bitter and twisted on here!
she does some good pop.
i'm not going to buy the album
but i don't mind her and it would be a shame if she did quit.
yes
and fuck kate nash while your at it, lily.
word
that's what I would have said if she even inspired me to intellectually analyze my hate. instead she can just fuck off.
word to wolfe_riddims
not trey. Sorry trey, but I think you slightly miss the point.
.
From his mind, usually.
Indeed
These kind of comments make me despair. It's a breath of fresh air to have such a compelling personality as Lily in the pop world. It's very boring that so many dullard indie twats go to the effort of slagging her off, presumably because they'd rather stare at some dumb bimbo in a lad's mag than appreciate a girl with opinions and a modicum of intelligence.
EVERYTHING'S JUST WONDERFUL
is still one of my favourite songs ever.
a fabulous idea for a song, executed and produced fabulously.
thats quite a image.
woah.
and not on an admin site.
geddit?
So should you care about?
Forum threads if thats what you do with your life?
Gimme gimme gimme
Ive hated her from the beginning, so I claim to have the most hate for her! Saw her at Big Chill last year - utter crap - she couldn't give a fuck about making decent music, obviously never done the hard graft of Dublin Castle to Barfly Glasgow, daddy's pulled a few strings here to get her a nice little contract and to make up for being a shit dad, and in A+R she'd just be looking for any old usual commercial shit like her own cack-handed efforts at music.
please god (Elvis) let it tank...
I feel better now.
This is the best news
I've heard this morning. Good riddance. She's fucking awful.
George Lamb
used to manage her, in the early days(when she was even fatter and shitter). She's obviously seen how his career has taken off after his initial stint in A&R and wants a piece of that pie. Sod the hard work of making music, simply get paid to be a twat, which comes naturally to both Allen and Lamb.
she's just your type of bimbo
I don't buy into nepotism, don't read lads mags, don't understand why your on a site like dis when people are allowed to voice their opinions with out sycophants constantly feeling bruised. Ironically is Lily not the dictionary definition of a ladette?
bland
but at least coming near to acceptable as a human being - Kate wins
fuck them both
such is my consideed response.cunts.
poor old lilly,
i like the way she currently looks like the chick kathy burke plays out of gimme gimme gimme
I
quite like Lily Allen. I'd be pretty upset if she went away. I also quite fancy her.
^this
she's lovely
She's really into music
for the right reasons, isn't she?
I, for one,
will not be buying her new album.
