We can't forget the guy who produced (created/wrote/recorded/mixed) the songs. Of course Lily's voice, lyrics, presence etc... are fantastic... But the beauty of the music... its the production
I never got why she wasn't bigger than she was. She did catchy pop songs with clever lyrics, and was hot with attitude. Plus she did a great live show.
@@adixar The Sun/Mirror are British tabloid newspapers that are notorious for publishing false news especially about celebrities. Also, they really hated Lily Allen because she's left-wing and she was talking about things like mental health in the 2000s, and these tabloids are populist right-wing
Watching this actually makes me so emotional for this period in England and even earlier (2006 I moved to London and lived in England until 2016). It was a truly awesome time, the bands and artists that rose to the top of charts weren't crass slutty female rappers and male rappers rapping about gang violence and sex, it was great rock bands, great britpoprock and female singers like Adele, Lily, Amy (RIP), Kate Nash, Duffy, etc. Artists that didn't strip down to next to nothing. They did it for the love of music. If you love these british artist from the 2000s to early 2010s but didn't experience it living in England, you'll never fully get all the references and how these artists captured the zeitgeist of English culture. We know and we love.
This is the biggest bunch of rose tinted glasses bullshit ive ever seen. There was loads of shite songs back then too and songs about sex partying. Also funny how you single out rap as the downfall of music but praise lots of white female artists. Cant help but feel this comment has racist undertones to it. Guess what? Lily loves rap music (she has made that clear in many interviews) and theres still plenty of great music out there that belongs to every genre (yes including rap!)
lived in london 2004-2009 then left when the recession hit -- was an amazing time, great pop, electro clash, indie jangly bands, indie discos any night of the week, the tv show skins being produced, ballet flats, plastic jewelery, skinny jeans and leather jackets.
Honestly North American pop music is so much less self aware but at the same time European is even more unaware. I’m not sure that makes sense but I stand by it.
I wish there was more freedom again. Someone smoking is their own desidion. Let them be:) now you cant eveb smoke at a party anymore without people thinking you are an addict
Spotted Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen) with the family backstage, with a camera blocking his face but it definitely looked like him. I just found out they're brother and sister the other day.
I find this incredibly haunting but I happen to notice and comprehend it every time I watch a live performance in the early 2000s. A lot of the people in the crowd will be 18 years old here, now they’ll be 31… or literally feels like yesterday. Wtf I was 9 when she performed this I’m coming up to 22 now😂 incredible…
I'd just left my 20's now hurtling towards 60, that's when you feel it, and you're in the slow part of life, it goes much much faster as you get older.
I look at The Sun and i'll look in The Mirror ...yeah, everything's cool as long as im getting thinner Man, she captured her time. Such a clever, funny, lyricist
I always thought she came over as very intelligent and a good lyricist. Also a pretty good singer, in her own style. And she's got a good sense of style too. Sparkly make-up to channel the festival vibe. And a seriously sexy jumpsuit with cleavage midriff and bare back
This is a very clever song . Far from the commercial dribble that's being thrown at the kids today. I like the way she thinks. Hope I can see her live one day.
The genius behind her music will always comfort me. The way she had this song as a number one and is performing it to all those people. Incredible!
Such a talent. I hope she realises how much she is respected for her music and releases more
She is fake 😂 posh little rich girl

@@Brad-lt2re shut up brad.
I mean do you not hear the entire crowd singing along? She’s got a pretty solid fan base going for her
Performing for a crowd that size? You think that’s not big enough? I’d kill for that
She's a champagne socialist, she plays to her audience who are largely as fickle as she is..
One of my favorite lyricists, her wit is incomparable.
Sure, she should be appointed Poet Laureate.
@@gav9385shining wit ?
I love how Lily exposes The Sun and The Mirror every verse
Oh my god, I've only just got that! 🤣😂
I love her so much
I don't get it.

Loved this song for about 8 years now, still smacks to this day
I love: A. her breezy, DGAF attitude; B. how relaxed she seems; C. all done with a glowing smile.
Oh yes :) i remember seeing her back in 2008 on a Festival here in germany it was awesome:) next year we got Katy Perry😂
The backing band on this are epic!
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE SONG!!! A head for its time. Great performance!
She is such a good wordsmith. This is how pop should sound!
It’s been years and years and I still love Lily.
The lyrics are spot on. Good choice BBC Music. Needed more than ever!
I LOVE LILY ALLEN. I went to her concert in Chicago in 2008.
This song was way ahead of its time, and is as true today as it was 13 years ago.
Lilys a breath of fresh air, love her style.
She’s always been different since she started. Truly amazing
Brilliant live. The band are on fire. Much better than the single version. Like the attitude from her, ciggy in hand.
Met Lily’s music somewhat months ago, and man, this girl just kick ass with her songs
So good to hear and see. What a woman
Love this song! Love her too! A great singer! Theres something about the backingtrack to this song that i just love
How does this not have 500 million views????? Music that makes ya smile is hard to find these days. She does it well....
Lily Allen was A VIBE. Y’all need to give her, her flowers. She ruled the U.K. and U.K. festival scene for years. She did that!
Ah Lily, such a 00s thing - I was a huge fan. It's funny how long ago this was - and how good she was!
Such a great song. Should have been a big hit in the US!
Honestly North American pop music is so much less self aware but at the same time European is even more unaware. I’m not sure that makes sense but I stand by it.
They don't play her here, but us fans definitely know who she is. US=us. See what I did there..
Ikr
@@westley5735 Truth
Now THIS is a performance. Just brilliant from a time when Lily was at her peak.
She's still at her peak, what are you talking about?
@@camilabIacksun I still like Lily and her music no worries. This performance just stands out from the crowd that's all.
That’ll be the coke 😀
Solid performance. I miss 2009 spring so much…
I thought this was a pretty good song, but this performance was outstanding. This song comes alive when performed before an audience.
im lookin at this kids... now 12years later.. if they still can remember this gig and are they still into music like their parents those days?
I was there as a kid. I remember this gig, I’m still crazy into music
Great song & even better live with the guitars & drums ramped up
It's one of the best songs of the "new" century; and I like the hair.
What an iconic song
I love her. She’s lovely. She’s a “breath of fresh air”!
Lily is such a smart and insightful lyricist. Combine that with a cool style and she is pretty kick ass if you ask me.
Nah she’s a crying leftie.
@@bigchungus4331 issa triggered boomer ☠️😂
TRASH BANK ROFOLK LMAOOO BLMM LOOOOL Well I was born in the 90s so I’m not a boomer. I’m just not a blind leftie.
Big Chungus congrats?
@@frnk8650 how many refugees has she housed?
This is how I remember Lily Allen, somewhat chaotic and not sober. But it’s awesome to see her now clean and grown up.
She is incredible as always
This came across my suggested the other day and I’ve come back to this video about two dozen times now.
Love it better than the studio version. 🤘🏻❤️
she looks so pretty in this outfit 💘
Everyone in the crowd looks like they could be in skins
even lily herself looks like she could be in skins
I mean it was 2009 so makes sense ahha
The best..i love you lili.. :)
2000s england was a vibe. now the younger generations are chav drill rappers
In fact there’s one at the front that looks identical to Anwar.
Lily is just... fantastic!😘😘😘😘
A moment of absolute perfection by everyone there.
Love that kid, playin with the grass haha such a vibe
She is an awesome performer.
Speaking from 2021. I like the close ups of the crowds, i wonder where they are now.
Believe or not I'm one of the crowd
But i far away from the stage
The days where holding a cigarette in between your fingers, while performing an absolute banger was acceptable and no judgement was made.
I wouldn't say no judgment was made, but it was considered edgy at the time.
I wish there was more freedom again. Someone smoking is their own desidion. Let them be:) now you cant eveb smoke at a party anymore without people thinking you are an addict
Perfect comment 😎
Smoking in public, especially inside like at this party you mention, is not just a personal decision as secondhand smoke is harmful.
There was judgment.
Ms. Allen's hair is very pretty - 👽✨
What an easy way to fall in love with this woman. Such a talent! David Harbour is so, so lucky that she said yes. Hope they are going strong.
Love her, love to see people enjoy themselves
Fuck and peace more love means less wore✌️❤️💕
Bring this song back into 2021 !!
I have had a massive crush on her for years.
2:13 I love that guitar riff.
As I was scrolling and came across this comment it happened 👍🏻 class
I was 14 hear, but at 26, I'd love to see this set!
Lily is still the queen. No matter what they say!!!
Will always love Lily Allen. For ever
Spotted Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen) with the family backstage, with a camera blocking his face but it definitely looked like him. I just found out they're brother and sister the other day.
Wow, what amazing talent. Said no one.
Just Hypnotic love the rythme
That guitar solo!! SHEEEEESH!
I am soooooo in love with Lily 😍
Creep.

I look at The Sun and i'll look in The Mirror
...yeah, everything's cool as long as im getting thinner
Man, she captured her time. Such a clever, funny, lyricist
the crowd is so 2009 what a time
She is wonderful
Adoro como camina.....
What a awesome outfit lily is wearing.
Best lyrics of the century
Brilliant!!!
Thank you soooooo much for posting!! Woooo lily!!
YES
Excellent song
The influencers of 2024 don't realise Lily was taking the piss out of them 15 years ago.
if you are looking for it, its at 0:47
So Clever Great fun Song's like Madness 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Absolute icon.
That mockney accent is unparalleled. One very rarely hears that in singers.
She's doing it for effect, real cockneys are actually just fucking thick.
@@johnmunro4952 Not all of them are thick but you'd be hard pressed to find cockneys now.

The brilliant Lily Allen, queen 👑
From Fribourg 🇨🇭

I love how she's just walkin' around stage singin', durry in hand.
Não conhecia, caí nesse video pra descobrir que o show dessa mulher é tão bom quanto engasgar com farinha.
pse engasgar com farinha é uma maravilha
I love this, amazing ...
the day n nite remix at the end goes too fuckin hard
IT'S ALL GOOD ......MUSIC & ENTERTAINMENT AND TALENT
This is a very clever song . Far from the commercial dribble that's being thrown at the kids today. I like the way she thinks. Hope I can see her live one day.
The crowd singing the second verse was fucking fantastic
lol i had such a crush on her back then.
Still do
2024, still loving Lily
Amo a esta mujer la amo 🎼🥰
Lily Allen is more punk than alot of the punk bands around at the moment
Her Dad, Keith taught her
She's definitely punk
How is she punk
Que mujer tan talentosa, realmente me sorprende la habilidad que tiene para cantar y manejar al publico
it looks like the guitarist had a very hard night... Lily looks and singing are
awesome
lily allen superstar
She really knows how to put on a show
Cuando éramos felices y no lo sabíamos
