Lily Allen: 'I'm bored of singing my songs'

Singer admits to feeling unsure of US tour

17.Mar.07 1:31pm
Lily Allen has admitted that she is sick of singing songs from her debut album 'Alright, Still'.

The singer, who is currently touring the LP in the US, said she is in two minds over whether to stay in the States or head home and write a second album.

She wrote on her MySpace blog: "Life is weird at the moment. Is it really important to break America? If it is I have to write my life off for the next 9 months, playing the same gig answering the same questions to different journalists and such. It's either that or I could go home, sit on my boyfriend's sofa for a bit, then write a new album. What d'you reckon?"

Allen went on: "As much as I love driving across America and doing the same thing every night, I'm bored slightly. It's the songs. Since January I've toured Japan, New Zealand and Australia, I've done a European tour, gone to Paris Fashion Week, done a UK tour and now I'm on a US tour which goes on until May. I don't know what to do."

The singer's debut album recently went into the top 20 of the Billboard chart.

I'm starting to really like her "I'll do what I fucking want" attitude with how light and playful her music is.

I think she's extremely immature - Not unintelligent, but very immature and she tries to make it seem like she's brave for portraying herself the way she does because she thinks all girls her age are like her - And they definitely aren't. She just comes off really ignorant to me. Her record is pretty decent, though.

I couldn't care less whether she sings them or not, as she won't be coming anywhere near me. I'm more looking forward to the day when radio DJ's get bored of playing her songs.

She's only got one album's worth and been touring it since it came out, so I can see why.

Couldn't agree more. If she doesn't want to sing her songs then do us all a favour and stop singing those god awful songs.

maybe she should learn some covers and do something fun rather than just trying to make it happen for her? she seems a little bratty and pretentious, meh whatever.

One of my friends was a year or two below her at school and hates her with a passion. I'm not sure if she did something personal to offend him, it could just be that he's an angry person, but there's some real resentment there. I quite liked a few of her songs last summer but hearing them now, they feel really dated. It could be because they're overplayed by shitty DJs, or because it's winter, or because I only liked them because I'd heard them so many times and the lack of hearing them has made me realise how bad they are. She should write some new songs on tour, play some covers, have fun; basically make America hate her for not playing her album tracks.

i still appreciate her album even months later but i can see where shes coming from, it must suck to have to sing the same shit for two years (When did her album come out in the uk?). i cant imagine her live show being all that entertaining either.

^ I agree with untouchable.

the album in the U.S. just came out. and there are TONS of bands that have toured much more rigorous than her and they stayed with it and never bailed out. this isn't just a hard thing for her. and now especially, playing live is very important and helps get your name out there. you shouldn't be a singer if you can't stick with it
