Lily's Pick For Most Overrated Pop Star
Everybody's-MySpace-friend Lily Allen is on the verge of a US invasion, beginning with a 2/3 performance on SNL and followed by a string of big city shows -- making this a perfect time for loudmouthing. And we bit. Here's Lily's latest unsolicited (and likely, unrequited) barb at Madonna and her record-buying fan base (via PR-inside):
The SMILE singer criticised the pop queen last August (06), 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.Everybody hates Madge these days! Well at least Liam Neeson doesn't. Lose Schindler and you're done for.
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."

yeah Lily, because your popularity has nothing to do with hype.
Score = 1
A link to The Daily Mail.... Scott, The Daily Mail hates everybody, so the fact it hates madonna is hardly a surprise. I enjoy reading it if only to find out what's going to kill me this week, or failing that, what will give me cancer. It is the least-respected British tabloid, which is quite an achievement!

Oh Lily, just wait, you are already on my list of overrated pop stars, and you haven't even been released in the US yet.
She's young, she has a lot to learn, besides she has to say something provocative to get attention!

not to mention that Lily is a reformed meth addict whose Record Exec Father rescued her from the trenches of the UK drug scene with his Amex Account...

Admittedly Lily isn't in a position to criticise just yet, but I still agree with her. Madonna's last record was only listenable thanks to Stuart Price. Her voice has never impressed and it's gotten worse as the years have dragged on.
Score = 0
yes, both have been successful because the hype surrounding them; however, the hype focused on different things. Lily became popular because of her music. Mrs. Richie, on the other hand, became popular because she liked to touch her lady bits on stage.

not trying to defend lily allen here, but isn't her dad an actor.. not a "record exec" ??
also, you gotta love the madonna fans who come out of the woodwork to defend her.

This is a good one but my favourite Lily Allen quote is by far :"I wouldn't do things I think might jeopardize my... (pause) like, I wouldn't do Coca-Cola. I wouldn't do Slimfast." Nike? "I really like Nike trainers! I'm quite open about the fact that it's like a guilty pleasure for me, with the sweatshop aspect... They've sent me loads and I'm designing my own trainer with them."
the girl kills me she should be given an award for all the BS that come sout of her mouth (cuz she won't get any for the "music" she "sings")
LADY SOVEREIGN TEAM !!

Check out Lily's AOL Sessions uh... session. It's surprisingly good.

I love how just a few months ago everybody was on Lily's jock, but now they all claim she's overrated.
Frankly, Alright, Still is the best mainstream-esque pop music I've heard from a female in quite a while, and none of you can deny that she's correct about Madonna.
lol, and I can't believe some bitch named "Lady Sovereign" actually came in here and had the balls to imply that Lily didn't really sing or play music, when the annoyingass "rapper" with "sweet beats" really only has a fanbase with loud fat party girls that think they're hot because they wear tight clothing and huge sunglasses that look like small sunglasses on their chubbyass faces.

Madonna is loving this attention. Expect Madonna to present an award for best new artist to Lily on MTV this year.

Lily Allen has no style. Madonna is a legend.
Great, enother self-entitled brat from the dumpy pajama-wearing college dorm generation.
UGH. Case dismissed.
Score = 0
Huh? WTF? Madonna was overrated about about 4 or 5 years ago when she released that soggy cowboy dance number. Now she is just like a shiney old relic and people are amazed she hasnt crumbled apart. Where the fuck has Lily Allen been? She is obviously trying to just start shit by picking a BIG name that isnt all that famous anymore.
Lily why dont you try growing a fucking pair after you pick up your saggy tits and cottage cheese arms and pick some one who is REALLY overrated like Fergie, Gwen or... better yet... AKON!
See this is what I love about up and and coming popular artists. Eminem did it, Hinder etc. They go after lame deer like their "The Fucking Masters of the Hunt".
Score = 0
I love how six or eight months ago, all of you were probably on here singing your praises to Lily and now you say she's over-rated and untalented.
Her tunes are good, and I like them. That hasn't changed. I do wish she would stop acting like she's tough shit and knows everything about what's going on in music right now. It isn't like she hasn't gotten propelled muchly by hype, as well. I will agree that Madonna has been rather over-rated for awhile now though.
Score = 0
Lily Allen is overrated and untalented and despite the hype, I have never thought otherwise. Spoiled little rich girl needs to stop pretending like the big bad bitch and going after other spoiled little rich girls.

I called Kooks and Lily Allen to make their way over sooner after a visit to Italy. . .I must say, and I hate to admit it, but I love them both.
Both videos for LDN are adorable. . I love that song!!!!

Note to Lily:
Don't criticise Madge. You'll never sell another record to a gay man ever.

Lets face facts' Rhianna, looks like a plastic blow up doll,(fake) Britney Spears can't sing (at All) and Madonna has been' an over rated techno- twat since 1983. None of these people write there own songs, or write to there fans.Have you seen Madonna without make-up? OMG> Britney Spears....ahhhh PIG! Rhianna too manufactured. Lily Allen is very pretty with or without make- up. She writes her own songs and relates very well with her fans via her blog. She's funny too!
Score = 0
Madonna spent her career pushing peoples buttons, to become famous. If your entitled to your opinion about Lily Allen's music and Madonna's button pushing, techno- garbage, then Lily Allen is entitled to her opinion, but only if it doesn't get printed and reprinted..Right? is that it?She'll knock on your door talk shit about you and then leave? I Don't think so! If she says something mean, and you respond with a harsh comment, then that means your a hypocrite, because you don't care.
