Awesome Music Video Wednesday

Today I decided to dedicate my Wednesday video to the British beauty Lily Allen.

Allen is fairly new in the music industry but has already made a huge name for herself as a adorable sensation who is changing the sound of pop.

I first heard Miss Allen last summer with her debut Alright, Still, a bouncy pop-ska album dedicated to getting revenge on an ex-lover, drunken fights on Friday nights, complaining about her pothead little brother, and pushing away club-hopping slime balls.

Allen is famous for more than just her pixie-like voice, bright gold jewelry and technicolor dresses.

She has turned up in the tabloids for saying that everyone who bought Paris Hilton's album should be "killed off", spitting on fellow Brit Lady Sovereign at the NME awards and has admitted to selling ecstasy as a teenager. She's also been known to be a public and violent drunk, inciting fights with other musicians and cancelling her U.S. tour. from exhaustion.

She also criticized model Kate Moss for her new lines of clothes exclaiming that, "Kate's clothes are just for skinny, perfect girls. I won't be buying any," Allen said after coming out with her own line of dresses with the New Line chain. "My dresses will suit anyone, whether they're tall or small, or fat or thin."

Allen has also expressed her animosity towards the tabloids in her blogs on her myspace. "I don't want to be a celebrity, I am a singer." she said.

She has recently admitted to having body image issues and suffering depression.

"I don't sleep and take drugs with famous people (i have a boyfriend Ive been with for nearly 3 years), I don't go to film premieres," she writes. "I don't go shopping in the paparazzi hotspots, so please leave me alone." (People)

Perhaps it's that the 22-year-old singer is not cut out for fame. We've seen what's happened to other famous young ladies.

I read once in Blender that she has done everything she's wanted to do musically with Alright, Still. That might have been a rumor but maybe it's for the best. Allen is refreshing with her delightful sound, real-life problems, and curvy figure. Maybe she's popped up in a couple tabloids but she hasn't worn out her face like Paris, Lindsay and Britney. It's kind of nice to see another girl pop up who's not one those Hollywood party girls.

I could talk about her all day-but enough chat, let's get to the song!!

Here is her single LDN, an acronym for London, a bouncy ska influenced pop hit about how she enjoys the dirty and rough streets of the "city life".

"When you look with your eyes everything seems nice, But if you look twice you can see its all lies." Ah, how I think of this song as I ride my bike home going through downtown on fourth street. Cheers!
