"Pop star Lily Allen has branded her American fans "backward".
The Smile star has spoken out against the audience at the South By Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas, where she performed two shows earlier this month - insisting the US represents everything she hates.
She says, "It's all very weird here. They're all backward in Texas but not as much as they are in Arkansas and Wyoming where I'm going soon.
"I can't really speak for the American population - I'm so far away from anything they are and stand for." "
I know. I just think the argument is disingenous. You can't get mad at Sean Paul for not being 'authentic' and then ride for a little white girl from the U.K. trying on some jamaican pop.
Plenty of legit reasons to criticize either artist but around here people are quick to run to the authenticity card. Apparently white girls from the u.k. don't have to worry about that.
Dude Smile and LDN are fun little cuts but that Lily Allen record is HORRIBLE! It is such trash. Utter garbage. Below No Doubt on the suckabilty scale and I didnt think anyone could suck as bad as No DOubt.
Why these people think they are doing Ska? They are making garbage.
she sucks at everything apart from making quite fun pop songs and knowing how to raise peoples heckles. good girl.
I believe you mean "raise peoples' hackles[/b], but your malapropism is more apropos.
i have done checked a dictionary and i stand corrected. but she was pretty funny that time she was on "never mind the buzzcocks" (uk music tv quiz for anyone outside of britain- -- is it broadcast in the US??) and it's good that she slags everyone off evenly. don't really care about the music. but i'd rather listen to "smile" when it comes on the radio then some tepid "R+B".

dude as far as I can remember people on this board generally ride for Sean Paul.
I started a clown thread on him once and, I am big enough to admit, got shouted down mostly.

That just happened, too.
Neither does crapping out capricious and misinformed reviews of "tasty jazztronica" for a free Austin weekly.
woops! I need a blog to be a journalist!
And yo...i'm just funin' with you Robert.
DAWGZ. Y'ALL NEED TO DROP THAT. THAT WAS ONE CHICK. SO HARVEY WAS A NICE GUY AND RODE FOR HIS FRIEND. MY CITY AIN'T ABOUT THAT.
Besides...ask SoI, HOUSTON is the city of "tasty jazztronica".
Has anyone seen Shied and his "friend" in the same room together?
I clicked on this thread and immediately thought "Why the fuck are you doing this? Are you that bored?"
Whatever. This video clip made my week.
"Two clowns together are really great."
Who are you talking about here?
Yes, one of my parents is Indian and I'm from the cornfiields of Iowa and oh yeah, I'm a woman too.
You musta got good at figurin' stuff like that out in one of those Yankee lawyerin' schools.

im curious where in here someone was ridin for lily allen? i think that was more of a "feather ruffling " comment but i could be mistaken
im also curious where phonics did anything resembling a claim to journalism?
as far as lily allen i didnt mean to imply anyone was riding for her here but there have been posts about her on this board in the past.

Apropos to pointing out malapropisms, I think you meant appropriate.
Main Entry: apropos
Function: adjective
: being both relevant and opportune
I thought it was more relevant, as Serg and others were basically heckling her. Besides, mine's more assonant (no asinine).

yeah I know that's big of me.
I guess I've always heard it used as in reference to or on the subject of.
