okay, i think i've pinned down what annoys me about that katy perry chick.
i mean... besides the obvious fact that as a queer identified woman, i find the "girls gone wild" mentality of fashionable lesbianism to be insanely infantile, offensive and just downright assinine...
but the meat of it is that, she's no lily allen.

it took me a couple weeks to hammer it out... but really.
if i want to hear some cute pop tunes... well katy perry, you just ain't cutting it.
you got some catchy songs... but you're no lily allen.

the beauty of lily allen's album is the delivery. 
the tunes are hilarious... her lyrics are intelligent, yet totally attainable.
it's like having a conversation with a friend over some bevies.
kinda like the arctic monkey's writing style. 
there's little difference lyrically between AM's "still take you home" and lily's "knock em out"
in fact... it's almost like the same song but from the opposite sex's point of view.
bloody brilliant.  

katy perry is too contrived. 
she's just trying soooo hard. 
both her parents are pastors, she's raised in the church, her first album is a christian music record and then she writes a hit song cashing in on homosexuality?
you know what?  fuck you.
it's a slap in the face to everyone that isn't gay just because it might get you attention.  and i think it's disgusting. 
i could rant for ages about everything that's wrong with her doing that song and even more wrong about it becoming a hit... but for once i'll let it go. 
it's offensive and terrible.  enough said.
the most unfortunate part is that it's a well crafted pop song.  it's just too bad about the lyrics. 

anyways.
lily i like.
she's a party girl. 
this picture was like 3 weeks ago after an event.
so fucking awesome.


she smokes weed publicly without shame


and frankly she seems to be having a good time with her life.
i've met oodles of celebs, and i really think that lily is the kinda girl that i'd be friends with.
i just identify with her.
she never seems like she's trying hard... she's just being herself.
and i dig it.

plus, have you ever listened to her song "not big"? 
such a fucking brilliant burn on an ex-boyfriend. 
holy shit, it's so well played. 
i wish i wrote it. 

okay, so this is in honor of friends of mine that put on the lily allen cd a couple weeks back...
and it was like WOAH.  i forgot all about this cd.
so now it's back in rotation.
in fact, i'm listening to it right now.

and for added awesome points, lily does a rad cover of one of my favourite kaiser chiefs songs.

anyways, i fucking love lily allen...
which means i don't care for the imitators. 
and katy perry... you're an imitator.  see ya on the back side of fame. 
hope you're saving your money.
