Big mouth strikes again

Lily Allen goes to Brasil, plays and does what she does best

Lily Allen’s controversial comments tend to compete publically with her career as a singer. Every now and again, Lily appears in the tabloids, not always due to some amazing performance, but because of some biting, nasty comment - normally directed at one of her fellow celebrities.

And the same held true in Brasil, where she’s ending her tour of Alright, Still, her debut album, on which Lily drew more attention off than on stage. The show in São Paulo, which took place at the Planeta Terra festival at the beginning of November, was nothing out of the ordinary. The sound was low and the singer wasn’t on top form. Her scathing remarks, however, were well up to scratch.

Lily was blasĂ© with journalists but saved some of her most sarcastic jibes for Capricho, a Brasilian teen magazine. She bad mouthed and criticised a number of people during the interview, especially Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan: “they came to my shows and invited me to some parties. I laughed and pretended it was cute, but there’s no way I was gonna go”. Strangely enough, Britney Speares wasn’t just spared, she was also praised (“she’s the best!”).

After singing, Lily Allen left the comfort of her well-stocked dressing room (she asked for 40 packets of cigarettes!) to see a performance by Kasabian, content to watch from the crowd. Although a journalist started chatting to her, the singer pretended she wasn’t Lily Allen.

During her interview with Capricho, she also talked about her new CD, which should be released in April 2008. “I’ve got nine songs ready and I bet that at least fi ve of these will be released as singles and become hits”. What a modest young woman she is! JD
