Bull930, You seem like a nice enough anglophile, is it not within your means to venture up the coast a few hours where you can have your overfill of all your favorites, can even catch TRL Live if I'm not mistaken that a) it still exits and b) it's still in NYC?
I saw Lily's lack luster showcase in NYC last year, as well as Amy's stellar performance at Joes Pub a little over a week ago. Sometimes you have to go to the mountain.
And I'm not sure if it was your intention but the way you've been beating this drum for months you come off sounding like a street teamer for both acts...not a crime if you are, but probably wasting your time on these boards.
And for the record I'll repeat you'll never see Amy Winehouse/Lily Allen grace the same stage outside of a festival, conference, or your turn table. Amy is a established, exceptionally talented artist, while Lily is a few months removed from decrypting her diary for her demos.
And though she'll probably outsell Amy by a mile, there's no correlation between her popularity and her talent level which is improving but far from professional. She's interesting but why the hell she's headlining the 930 is beyond me, besides of course SHE CAN because MTV said so. Amy should be playing the 930 on the 16th, where as there is perfectly good back room at the Black Cat for up and coming artists like Ms. Allen.
