New Lily Allen Video - "Littlest Things"

Dig on the minimalist, film noir vibe on this clip for Lily's third single from Alright, Still. The classic glam look is a far cry from her big-smile-and-shades days, but she works it like MacLaine.

So I finally decided to give Lily Allen a listen, and this is all there is? For someone so hyped about I guess I expected her to be, I don't know...good? How depressing.

I've never loved this song, btu it's so cute. The video is cute, too. And she looks cute in it.

It's just a big melty mallow of cuteness!

umm...what about this is "noir"? other than someone who doesn't know what the term actually means and just applies it to something that is B&W and features people in trench coats...pfft.

I saw her last night in Glasgow, I have to say it was probably the worst Gig I've ever been to, and I witnessed the Pumpkins in their last days...

There was a complete lack of charisma. She even did the 'I drink Buckie me' shit Glasgow stunt that every fucking posh southerner does when they visit. It's as funny as Tommy Lee Jones pretending to be Irish in 'Blown Away. Pure Shite.

The album is lacking, and I'm unsure how much she actually 'wrote' on it as she seemed to have a severe lack of rhythm. She just walked from stage, side to side, looking at her stupid fucking 'hide my fat ass' A-line skirt and slabbered out bland song after bland song... and I'm a fan?!

That's one of the reasons why I do not pay attention to the music industry anymore... I feel more inclined to a spot of embroidery... it's much more fast paced and controversial.

Woah, calm down people, she ain;t that bad


the backlash has happened, right on queue

whatever you think of her, she is bringing something to mainstream chart pop music that needs to be there

I would rather young teenage school kids listen to Lily Allen than some awful boyband or britneyspears-a-like pop singer

I love the song and the video. I don't know exactly why but the video is brilliant even though it's nothing mind blowing. Maybe thats why, because it's not like an MTV video. thank jehosephat!

I think Lily Allen is brilliant... But then again, I guess you guys could put that down to me being 13 lol... My taste aint exactly like other people at school, I mean, what's with the music that is "in" at the min. Most of it is absolute rubbish!

Its probly not the best song on her album but its still amazing. I think Lily Allen is wiked, cuz her musics not the usual sterotypical chart rubbish, thats why most people love her. If you're not a fan of her then you probly will be after hearing "Littlest Things".

video, nice. song, nice. however, she is not nearly as gorgeous as people say she is. she's cute, she has some spunk, but jesus, there are prettier people, even in the indie world.
