Kate Nash has slammed rival Lily Allen for using website MySpace to get a record deal.

 

The 'Foundations' singer hates being compared to Lily and insists she worked much harder to get in the charts, by organising her own concerts and handing out flyers out in the streets.

 

Kate fumed: "I've been boxed as the next Lily Allen because I'm a girl.

 

"We don't sound anything like each other. People have bunched a lot of new female artists together and called us the new Lily Allens.

 

"Some days I wish someone would just hack into MySpace and destroy it.

 

"It's annoying when people write about MySpace like it's the most important thing. It's not as important as people coming to your shows. It's not as important as what I did - taking flyers and demos everywhere I went, and going up to people on the street, and saying, 'Listen to this!' "

 

Despite her anti-Lily tirade, Kate is listed as one of the 'Smile' singer's friends on her MySpace page and admits it gave her a helping hand in the music industry.

 

The 19-year-old musician said: "It's a tool of our generation - a way of getting music to people. I didn't have to release any music, or know anyone in the industry, for people in America to hear my songs. That's because of MySpace."

 

I really, really doubt Kate said that, and to be fair if she did Lily got a record contract before she opened up myspace.

What bull$h!t!! First of all, although Lily did/does slam other artists....Kate is no way that type which is why I like her so much. And secondly...why would Kate slam Lily when Lily actually praised Kate to be the next big thing?

Is it me, or is the girl that serves Mark Ronson the drink in the Oh My God video infact Kate Nash? :unsure:

I don't think she meant any disrespect to Lily. In a few of Kate's interviews that I've seen/heard, she's always given props to Lily and even has her as a friend in her Myspace profile. I think Kate is just annoyed at the media for labelling her as "the next Lily" because she's the latest British female to be using a regional accent in her music. The only similarities I see between the two are the fact they're both British female artists that sing with regional accents as opposed to the American one. Other than that, their music is pretty different.

I think the comparing her with Lily just got to her too much and she lashed out.

 

"Some days I wish someone would just hack into MySpace and destroy it."

I feel like that sometimes about the internet in general.

Is she going to come to America?

 

 

SHE BETTER :angry:

For some reason, I highly doubt she said this. o_o She's always seemed so nice in the interviews I've seen with her.

I saw Kate on This Morning and she was bigging MySpace up and saying how she used it for her career so it looks like the article is either untrue or just taken out of context.

Is it me, or is the girl that serves Mark Ronson the drink in the Oh My God video infact Kate Nash? :unsure:

No one has answered this. :(

Oh sorry, no i don't think it is her.
