Lily Allen: Living Dangerously

by Martin Howden

She's feisty, she's talented, and she's the star everyone is talking about. Lily's stunning voice and honest, quirky sound has guaranteed her a place in the charts—and her party-loving lifestyle has made her a darling of the tabloids. Born to actor father Keith Allen and producer mother Alison Owen, Lily enjoyed a privileged upbringing at private schools, and even got a part in one of her mother's films before launching her music career. Originally touted as a female version of The Streets, Lily made her rapid ascent to pop stardom through Myspace.com, where she boasts an incredible 100,000 friends. Lily goes from strength to strength—her live performances received rave reviews; she was nominated for Best New Artist at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards; and Entertainment Weekly named "Alright, Still" as one of the top 10 albums of 2006 before it was even released in the US. Though still young, Lily Allen has led an incredible life so far, and the full story can be found here.

I love Lily Allen, and it was interesting to hear about her life, but the author really had no talent at all. I enjoyed how she was quoted often though.
