Did Jameela say Tiesto has a Madam Tussauds waxwork?? Haha what a random choice. :P

 

He has one in MT's Amsterdam. You can pose doing some turntables next to him.

Foxes voice is so quirky. This is so much better than the original and is teardrop not the song Tulisa and some rappers did for Children In need or something one year?

Biography

Lily Rose Beatrice Cooper (née Allen; born 2 May 1985), known professionally as Lily Allen, is an English recording artist and actress. She is the daughter of Keith Allen and film producer Alison Owen. Allen abandoned school when she was 15 and concentrated on improving her performing and compositional skills. In 2005, she made some of her recordings public on Myspace and the publicity resulted in airplay on BBC Radio One and a contract with Regal Recordings.

 

Her first mainstream single, "Smile", reached the top position on the UK Singles Chart in July 2006. Her debut record, Alright, Still, was well received, selling over 2.6 million copies worldwide and brought Allen a nomination at the Grammy Awards, BRIT Awards and MTV Video Music Awards. She began hosting her own talk-show, Lily Allen and Friends, on BBC Three. Her second studio album, It's Not Me, It's You, saw a genre shift, having more of an electropop feel, rather than the ska and reggae influences of the first one. The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and the Australian ARIA Charts and was well received by critics, noting the singer's musical evolution and maturity. It spawned the hit singles "The Fear" and "f*** You", popular mostly in Europe. Allen and Amy Winehouse have been credited with starting a process that led to the media-proclaimed "year of the women" in 2009 that has seen five female artists making music of "experimentalism and fearlessness" nominated for the Mercury Prize.

 

In 2009 Allen announced that she would be taking a hiatus from musical activities. During 2010, Allen opened a fashion rental shop "Lucy in Disguise" with her sister Sarah, followed by the 2011 launching of her own record label. In 2013, Allen revealed that she had begun working on her third studio album. On November 12, 2013 Allen premiered the video for her first original song since 2009, "Hard Out Here", which will be released as a single on November 17. - Wikipedia

Yes think so. Not a patch on the Massive Attack original. I quite like the Newton Faulkner version though!

Ha ha... she said Hair Balloon, is she reading Buzzjack :lol:
Sadly I've gone right off Air Balloon now, but I usually like Lily's material so I'm happy for her that she's got another top 10.
Loving "Air Balloon". Such a shame it's underperformed, as well as "Hard Out Here". Both shoulda been top 3 hits!
Despite it being around for a wee while, This is the first time I have heard this :o
Anyone remember when Lily Allen was really good back in 2008? :(

 

 

The Fear.... TUNE

Anyone remember when Lily Allen was really good back in 2008? :(

 

I adored her back then <3 but I am not enjoying this comeback atm :/ Unlike many, I hated her John Lewis song :(

Interesting (or not at all) that Lily's top 10 singles are all either #1s or #5-9 hits.

 

'Air Balloon' is growing on me a bit now but still really quite disappointing. Kind of lost my hype for her this era. Still loving the album title though.
