Lily Allen interview on ROVE (Australia)

This is just a great video touching briefly on social media in an interview with one independent-minded artist who is the new epitome of strong will. Lily chats about facebook, myspace, and twittering so nonchalantly yet at the same time matter-of-fact. You got to love how willing she is to share her life, rants, and everyday musings with average Joe Blow from AnyWhere USA or EU for that matter.

This is one artist who doesn't seem to be fazed by all the glitz and glamor of money, stardom, and fame. That's one thing I love about the British- they are so sensible about the silly things that shock and awe most of us. In a way, this reminds me of my friend MelB from the Spice Girls. Melanie and Lily are both artists with girl staying power that encaptures you long after exiting the scene- whether music tour, talk show, dancing with stars, or photo shoot. Female British pop sensations just seem to have that extra something- je ne sais quoi!

Now I'm not saying US artists don't have it- we have our share of Britneys and Mileys. Just the 'it' factor is a slightly different one- maybe not any greater or worse- just different. The British have that extra little advantage of never-ending confidence and winner-takes-all attitude that's infectious.

You can call me crazy, but I think it's sexy. And not incredibly, millions of fans agree.

Peace,
