Wow, I usually like Lily Allen but this is quite possibly the silliest comment I've ever heard. I agree Madonna is overrated, but to slam Madonna then praise the queen of mediocrity, Britney Spears, is the most convoluted leap of logic ever.
madonna is the queen
Lily suxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Both cunts are IMMENSELY overrated
I agree that Madonna is the most overrated artist of all time. She nailed that one. I can't say I agree that Britney is a "goddess". I haven't heard her new album, so I can't comment on whether or not I agree with that, either.
hahaha love it
SHE LOVES BRITNEY CAUSE THEY RE BOTH LOOK LIKE A COW!!!
FAT GIRLS ALWAYS ARE ALWAYS HATERS!!!!
MISERY LOVES COMPANY!!!!
FUCK U LILLY!
WE LL SEE WHAT U LL LOOK LIKE WHEN U LL BE 50 !!!!
AND BY THE WAY U ARE TOO FAT AND TOO UGLY TO EVEN TALK ABOUT MADONNA!
AND WHO DO YOU THINK U ARE TO WRITE A SONG ABOUT FAME???
U LL NEVER BE AS FAMOUS AS MADONNA !!!
U CAN GO AND MAKE SOME SHITNEY COVERS AND TRY TO HAVE A HIT !!!
GO AND TRY FAT HASS CAUSE U DEFINITLY WON´T HAVE A SPLENDID CAREER AS MADONNA´S!!!
DESPERTELY SEEKING FOR ATTENTION!!!!
U RE SUCK!
IT¨S HUMAN NATURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Drunk talking is serious! Please, if you or somebody you know drunk talks, intervene or call for help.
They are both overrated.
If your liver can sustain you until you are 50, perhaps some young, alcoholic, one hit wonder, such as yourself, will say the same about you….if you still have a career in the entertainment industry.
AMEN to the first sentence!!
Madonna sucks ass
As for Britney, well….
AND ONE MORE THING BABY..

AND TALKING ABOT FAME , ICONS, MUSIC AND FASHION…
AND I M NOT THAT SURE U LL BE DOING LV CAMPAIGN WHEN U LL BE 50!!!
I DON´T EVEN KNOW IF U LL BE TOURING OR IF U LL EVEN BE SINGING!!!
AMEN. i could not of said it better myself.
I agree with her about Madonna. Madge is a legend, but musically, pfft, it's not exactly groundbreaking stuff she's done ever IMO. I also think Brittney is overrated too.
FINALLY someone says what alot have been thinking!
I 100% AGREE!!!!!!!!!!
Lily Allen is a turd.
I have to agree w/ the Madonna comment, but it stops there. Britney is an amazing performer and I understand the popularity to an extent, but the singing is at (most) times atrocious! Looks will get you far, which is why I'm so confused about Madonna's fame
YESSS! someone finally said it! madonna sucks.
i love lily for saying that even though she's cracked outtt
regardless of what anybody thinks of the quality of madonna's work (for it is very subjective and could be argued indefinately), you have to give her props for the successful career she's built and for her work ethic.
i personally, think she's pretty kick ass. i also think it's rediculous for an "artist" to criticize another "artist" when they practically do the same thing.
I don't think Madonna's overrated. I think Britney's new album is good but it's not fantastic. I see similarities between Madonna and Britney. Both know they're not the most vocally gifted singers on the planet, but they're very good entertainers (Britney used to be, at least). I think Britney's lost her mojo the past few years so there's less of a comparison to Madonna now than in the past. Madonna is the queen of changing it up and evolving musically, while Britney seems kind of stuck in this area.
Re: ZaneSylliboy – Wow at least somebody is clever here !!!!!
Lily Allen said exactly the same thing 2 years ago about Madonna (without the Britney ass licking) and guess what she made all the UK tabloids. Is her new CD that bad that she to do it all over again….listen to the words of her new song 'the fear',moaning self righteous bitch and she goes and says something like this…douchebag
SO TRUE! i honestly couldnt agree more!
Both MAdonna & Britney are great ( even if I LOVE/ADORE Madonna and i just LIKE Britney ) * but lily allen sucks !! she cant sing and she's just a junkie who should hire a stylist !!!
If at 50 she is still on top ( she's never been yet !) we'll see but for now,she just have to put her fucking record out ( i bet it won't be great) and just shut the fuck up !
Agree!!
Well at least she is not praising herself… believe me if that was Kanye West she would have said that she is the symbol of a generation and the best shizzz ever! Poor Lilly I wish someone realizes that this girl is on a downfall… why is it so hard to realize??? She had a big shock in her life losing the baby and losing that stupid bf of hers… she needs help!
I remember once hearing… "Madonna is a success because she makes all her decisions, Britney is a success because she doesn't."
I couldn't agree more. What Lily said is completely insulting to me… and to women in general.
How can you call a woman a goddess that can't make any of her own decisions in life? Sure, she has great producers making her albums, but she's never taken control of her career the way Madonna has.
Madonna is strong as nails. She'll never be pulled out in a gurney or have her life signed over to her dad. She sings live yes (sometimes not that good, let's face it) but she sings live. She chooses everything about her career and always has. This is a woman who went to NY by herself with very little money and came out a superstar. There were no boardroom meetings or marketing plans.
Where are all the strong women out there?
Lily better watch her back now. Madonna's gonna have that ass
Hah! A celebrity with enough balls to say about Madonna what the masses have been saying for over a decade.
ahahahahaah! i looooove lilly allen.
BAAAA HAHAHAHHA! Is this chick for real? Has she even ever seen Madonna perform? Madonna is most definately an artist and performer. Maybe she can't sing all that well, but neither can Britney! And, TRUSt, there would be no britney without Madonna.
this is probably the first thing i agree with this chick on. Madonna needs to retire, she is gross.
Not only that. Lily is the most original, amazing, one of a kind artist…..
'
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!
What a fucking twat. I'll agree with Lily if in thirty years she's managed to stay on the top every fucking step of the way. Somehow, I don't think that'll happen. Lily Allen is talentless.
Madonna is Madonna .Britney is Brtiney!!!! I never liked Madonna but I LOVE Britney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LILY ALEEN IS SOOO RIGHT
They are both overrated , I really can't understand how Britney got this far. not very
talented.
agreed!
She is right!
totally!
sadly, i have to agree with lily. i mean, yes, madonna has managed to have a long and fruitful career, practically a miracle in that biz, but people make her out like she's god. there's a lot of talent out there - and with circus, brit is threatening to take away madge's title as queen (yay! bout time for a change)
I totally agree!
Don't be afraid to have your own opinion, even if it is unpopular. Thanx Lily
AMEN LILY
vadge sucks ass
brit isn't a "goddess" but shes damn good
and i agree with lliy allen…ITS BRITNEY BITCH
could not agree less
true true true
she was worth something maybe 15 years ago…eh she fizzled when she did that vma shit…sooo desperate for attention again….lame…lilys right
SO TRUE
MADONNA IS COMPLETELY OVERRATED
but britney is no goddesss
Oh Please. This talentless bitch wouldn't know real talent, if it hit her in her
ugly fucking face. I think Lily Allen is jealous, because her own career is in
the shitter. Who cares what she thinks, anyway. Lily WHO?? No one will even know who she is in 20 years (if they know her even now).
This would have to be the most sensible thing she has said since Smile.
Oh and fuck all you haters, by the way.
for real??
Gotta love her sincerity, Madonna=Overrated
Madonna is only overrated by her zealous fans. The rest of the world knows all she's good for is occasional ear candy, making clever videos, and her clever marketing ploys (i.e., her staged "controversies"). There's not really many of her songs that I would consider classics, and she doesn't have a voice that I would say is moving or emotional. If "Like a Virgin" or "Material Girl" are two of the biggest songs you're known for, that's not saying much.
oh oh lilly lilly….the things you say.
Read up on madonna, and how long she has been going and how she got where she is today (without going bald, mental, taking her kids hostage, flashing her beef curtains all over town)…and reconsider what you said…..
Orrrrrrrr……just overdose…would be good as well…
merry xmas you fat slag
She is right on!! I grew up with Madonna and didn't even like her then she's all about trying to shock people She's WEIRD WEIRD WEIRD!! I wouldn't pay $5.00 to go see her much less $150.00. I feel sorry for her children with all the No TV, Vegan Diet and Kaballah they will be little weirdos just like her.
this girl should never speak.
LIKE THE OPINION OF THIS WASHED UP ADDICT INFLUENCES ANYONE.
britneys new album SUCKS by the way
yeah, she is right about Madonna. She is WAY over rated. she can't sing either without the help in the studio!
that aint to far from the truth,but I dont think britney is any better at all
Re: magicmike – YOU REALLY ARE A JEALOUS VILE KUNT, AREN'T YOU ????????
well she's got the first part right. I'm neutral on Britney. But DAMN, she hit the Madonna thing SPOT ON.
•
umm….yeeeeeah
•
silly allen is the most overrated of the current UK trash cans
•
pu-leeeez
•
I like Madonna, and agree about what she said about Britney. Britney's the best. love her
This no-talent drunk really needs to learn to keep her pie-hole shut. Madonna shits better music than Britney ever dreamed of making…
Sadly, I have to say I agree with Lily Allen.
i can't agree more, madonna is definitely overrated plus the bitch can't sing. i like britney but she's no goddess.
She's right….Madonna is old news, she's what 70 years old now? hang up the towel already she's like Cher. Bahs.
I love Lily, but can she please say this again in 25 years time without choking on her own resentment?
While I agree that Britney's new album is amazing! Britney will never be Madonna!
Sorry Perez but she is right. Madonna is hella overrated!
for once Lilly Allen is making sense.
i cant wait for Madonna to retire.
Both overrrated
Yeah Modonna is OVERRATE. She as Old Nasty Hoe. Modonna is trying to be like Jolie, and it's just funny
Too right! Madonna is forever coupled with shock value, it is so intrinsic to her performance and she has no one to blame but herself. She can never be a stand alone artist anyway, she doesn't have the chops so were are left with the sum of her body parts. Ov-er Ra-ted!
TRUE!
AGREE
AGREED! Madonna hasn't been relevant in years, BRITNEY IS THE TRUE QUEEN OF POP! BOW DOWN BITCHES
Re: theshit86 –
YUP Britney is the best female singer of all, she's got the whole package - looks, talent, drive, voice, moves, stage presence and that "it" factor that makes her special from everyone else. No one can do it like Britney, she's simply the best at what she does.
Re: shannonneal420 –
Oh really, have you actually heard all the tracks or are you just putting Britney down just to feel good about yourself? Bitch please, Britney is THE undisputed queen of pop no one can doubt that.
FINALLLYYY someone says it!

She talks more and more when she's sober. Please Lily, if you wanna get up in sober and make new music, stop talking. I know, the right to diss anyone, whatever, but save the dissing and get your ass back in your work. You can compliment anyone you want but dissing might throw you into boozie again. In my case, Madonna and Britney is fine.
I kinda agree with the Madonna comment…not so much with the Britney one, I like her though
Madonna managed to do something neither Lily or Britney has been able to do. She's managed to hold her shit together and not have a public meltdown. Having no self respect is overrated, Lily.
Re: MissT – I don't know if you have ever noticed, but Britney can't sing. Her voice is one of the most enhanced I've ever heard. And as far as the va-jay-jay Britney needs to keep hers in her pants. No one wants to see her puss. I saw those photos of her NUMEROUS puss flashes. Give her an award for MOTHER OF THE YEAR.
Uhm who's Lilly Allen a Loser without a hit? A girl that sufferred depression at the same time Britney did? She always fights with anyone that's bigger than her, she loves Britney because she's a loser like her.
Madonna has done better albums, writes her music, produces her music and works harder. Sorry Lilly you hate people that has more talent than you, because you're a lazy bitch.
Bitch please. Can't compare that, na a. Madge is the only woman who's every album was a hit. And plus, she can sing. Brit Brit is a creation of the music industry. No special talent but definitely fuckable. Lily Allen sucks btw. She's a Britney wannabe,yall. "Look at me, I love Britney
). I covered her song, bla bla"
Thank you.. FINALLY.. I couldn't agree more Lily.. Madonna is ridiculously OVER RATED!! She should go back to the gym and stay there.. Do everyone a favor and disappear..
Re: pinkplasticmonkey –
Oh please.. all you have to do is look back at Madonna's Sex Book/Dita/Erotica period, and you can see she was completely off her rocker back then. That's probably why she doesn't talk much about that period. And if she didn't have a meltdown, it was probably because people were too naive to notice anything wrong at the time, or she kept it very well hid, or she's just too narcissistic to the point where she doesn't have any real feelings to have one.
Ok, is everyone that is leaving messages super young? This is one of the dumbest comments I have ever read. Even if you don't like her music or care for her there is no way you can ignore how talented she is!! There is no other female artist that has been this successful for this long. Overrateted? I don't fucking thing so!! Her tour has made over $200 million and for a reason. I realize the younger generation doesn't appreciate Madonna, but trust me in the 80's and early 90's she was HUGE!! She is smart and to even try to say Britney is anywhere close to her is crazy!! Britney will never have the success of Madonna, I don't think any female artis ever will. So all you haters to need get over it. Madonna is the queen!! Why does she need to retire, this is what she does. This is her job!! I really don't even know why I am replying to this, it is so stupid. Lily Allen is a nobody and it seems like she wants to be with Britney. Give me a fucking break
Re: nic601 –
"There is no other female artist that has been this successful for this long. "
Uh…Streisand?
I guess she still is drinking.
Re: DanielDax – I love Babs!! And yes she is super successful aswell, good call! Streisand is in a league of her own, because she has done everything and been wonderful!!! There is no touching her voice. In my opinion the best voice ever!!
