Pop singer won't attend awards show because she fears she might lose
I mean, seriously, WTF?
<a href = "http://www.lse.co.uk/ShowbizNews.asp?Code=XZ296937M&headline=lily_allens_brits_fears"><b>Lily Allen's BRITs fears</a></b> Monday, 29th January 2007, 12:27 LIFE STYLE EXTRA (UK) - Lily Allen is considering snubbing the BRITs, because she is scared she won't win any awards. The outspoken singer - who has been nominated for British Female Solo Artist, British Breakthrough Act, British Album and British Single - became paranoid about her chances of success when she was replaced on the performing bill for the ceremony by rival Amy Winehouse. A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Lily is seriously considering staying away from the BRITs. She has a lot of commitments abroad so would have to make a special effort to fly in just for the day to go to the event. She was thrilled to be nominated in some many categories but many experts think she could lose out in all four. "As soon as she was replaced by Amy Winehouse on the roster of performers, people started saying, 'There's no way she will win British Female Solo Artist now - it will go to Winehouse.' " Lily's record company are said to be worried that the 21-year-old Lily singer could react badly on the night if she fails to scoop any accolades. She faces stiff competition in the British Album category, for which she has received a nod for her hit debut 'Alright, Still', and British Single, for which she has been shortlisted for 'Smile'. The source added: "The Best Album category is so tough this year and she's got little chance of beating the Arctic Monkeys. "Best single is likely to go to Leona Lewis or Take That, and The Kooks are favourites to pick up the Newcomer award." The winners will be announced at London's Earls Court on February 14, with the show being broadcast live on television for the first time in almost 20 years. (c) BANG Media International. |

I like her CD :up:
|
It does seem kind of tacky to book her to perform and then bump her for the other singer though. Win or not that seems kind of insulting.
|
I've never heard or seen either, but I checked out pics and, purely based on looks, Lily Allen wins.

Hey, we got a music forum! :eek: |
Take That is still around? Didn't Barlow and Williams have a catfight years ago? Man am I out of it, musically. Maybe that's a good thing.
|
Yeah, but I read in either Uncut or Mojo that Take That have a new album out (sans Robbie, of course) It... did not get a good review.
On the topic, it's pretty shallow but she IS young and even though she has many fans there's still tons of people that are slagging her, and she's probably more insecure than she projects. It probably would have been best if she didn't mention it though.... |
The thing with her is that she has started to get a big mouth and started insulting a lot of people. It has come to a point where some people are just sick of her being mentioned in articles over in the UK. Looking at her ever dropping single positions, it would be wise for her to be quiet.
Personally I like Amy Winehouse (the one she got bumped for) far more. People will probably prefer Lilly because Amy isn't pretty but as far as the music goes Amy is the clear winner. It's pretty cool Jay-Z is bringing her over here. Too bad it's with her second single (You Know I'm No Good) instead of her first (Rehab). |
