Calm down son, some of us are just too busy to spend our lives leaving pointless comments on the web.

Anyway, with regards to your latest post there, I’m afraid that accusing anyone who writes for our website of fabricating a story is doing more than knocking them, it is a serious accusation and a slur on a fine bunch of men and women. Reading back through your comments I’m still not sure whether or not you are still convinced that this interview is false or not, despite all the evidence to the contrary. You are certainly entitled to hold your own honest opinion but you have to accept when people challenge you on it as you have challenged us.

I hope you now accept that I did indeed sit down with Lily and interview her. I found her witty, charming but and a strange mixture of being completely outspoken and guarded at the same time. She has obviously had a hard time at the hands of the press but you have to be able to appreciate the difference between the tabloids and the music press, of which we are definitely the latter. There are other publications that do blur the boundaries but we’ll leave them to it. I defy you to find anything in this piece that panders to that side of things.

As someone who is obviously a Lily Allen fan I can understand to an extent why you feel so protective to her but, as she says in the interview, the touring environment is where she feels safest. However she is a young woman with a taste for life and who is aware of the pitfalls of her chosen path. How long she is prepared to put up with the downside of her fame remains to be seen, but you do feel that she will always be in control of her own destiny, unlike some others.

I hope that you have re-read the piece and have appreciated it for what it is. As one of State’s editors, I stand by everything that goes on this site. We have worked hard to build our reputation and will continue to bring quality music coverage to the masses.

Cheerio.

4 days later…. no answer. So much for you’re big guns. Hay Nobody blamed anyone for being in the same room with her. You became way to offended by an honest opinion. Nobody knocked the paper either. Or the people that work for State. My point is just a written (hard evidence) Fact.

again….

anon…get over it… it’s an interview regardless of what shape or form you think is redeemable in lilly allens views/opinions… are you that fanatical to care so much? leave state to get on with what matters instead of critising BADLY on their reporatage… which by all accounts is unnessecary…

Like I’m wrong for thinking that Lily Allen received too much negative press. The key word here is press o.k. This isn’t wrong she writes down what she thinks (remember.. ?) By reading my previous comments you can see that the issue was not weather State was a legitimate magazine, but that so many others are! That’s what prompted Lily Allen to write on her My Space page (February 2009) The New York Times are skanks) that she will not speak with magazines.

Look! You’re all missing the point. Everyone knows that Lily Allen doesn’t really exist. She said so herself. “I’m made-up.”, she said.

Good interview. Never paid much attention to her recently, but good to see there is a bit of depth in some of the pop music that comes out. enjoyed The Fear after reading this.

This is hilarious! Watch out anonymous they’re going to get you if you speak too loud! Tip your furniture over and make yourself a little fortress. Ha ha, crazy fans.

Back to work…
