Fear Reviews:
Fantastic, as always 
2009-04-07 - I love Lily Allen, her first album was excellent - every song on it could have been a single! And if "The Fear" is anything to go by her second album will be even better than the first!
In her usual way she combines an extremely catchy tune - it's almost impossible to get this one out of your head, you'll find yourself singing it all day - with witty lyrics (for example "I looked at the sun and I looked in the mirror" doubles as the newspapers). The song also has a good message about not letting fame let you become shallow and vain.
Brilliant song, that I'm sure fans will love.
It's neither "bratty" nor "over-produced"
2009-03-04 - It's neither "bratty..." nor "over-produced," and to state such misses the point of the song. Lily Allen CAN sing, the video for this song is F-U-N, as is this song. I don't have 'It's Not Me, It's You' yet, but I just ordered 'Alright, Still,' and if I like that I'll certainly be getting her sophomore CD next.
She can actually sing!
2009-02-10 - Britney, Kate, none of the others dare sing without computers compensating for there lack of skill. Lily can actually sing REALY well! Shame she was exposed to how bad our country is and now doesnt like to come here.
So Vapid 
2009-02-10 - Just watched the video, hmm, "Everything's cool as long as I'm gettin' thinner", perhaps there's irony there, but I don't think so. Too much bratty shopaholic attitude for my taste. Was excited at first when I read there's a ska tilt, but sorry this studio stuff is not to my taste. Hopefully she has more kick during a live show.
Good pop song, but massivly overproduced 
2008-12-11 - Somewhere under the over-produced veneer is a good Lily Allen song. After listening to "*&%#*# You", it sounds like the entire album may have this issue.
Despite the subject matter being a earnest stuff, the song stays light enough, and you can't tell how seriously she is taking it.
