i bought into the hype and bought her cd today too.  the cd is pretty good; i like her videos.  her performance on snl tonight was kinda boring.  i dont know if id pay those ridiculous craigslist prices or even $15-20 to see her just stand around.  i must say though, i find her really cute, and that there is definitely something alluring about her.  yet at the same time i could see her being annoying as hell.

Very very funny and true. Songs are good but sometimes she soes go a bit too far. I think $15 is a good price. When I went to see Peaches she was $20 but I would have paid more. You have to take into account that she is a UK artist that has blown up and this is one of like 8 gigs she is playing. Then you have to add that MTV is behind it and the intimate setting that is the 9:30 club. I really like going there from time to time. Looks like a hole in the wall on the outside but cool inside. She sings live and will have a live band too. It is just sad people are trying to make a quick buck but you have to just SMILE because this is what happens in the good WDC.

no offense to anyone, but the 9:30 club isn't "Intimate". Intimate is a venue that's less than 300 people... since we'll go for "bandwagon" bands I saw Something Corporate playing an open mic night to 15 people and 8 months later they were headlining Warped Tour. (soundboard from that = <3 )
 
 my bf just mentioned to me he's listening to her, which is why i had to comment on the ludicrousness of an MTV show being "Intimate" in a 1000 person venue. No. Pink Floyd at the 9:30 club would be intimate. Lily Allen selling it out is just corporate.
 
 and I'll add I've done the street team thing for 9 years, and I admit when TRL came out my company mass shill called for bands like Pink and The Calling, but when you got paid $10 a day to do it, you would too.

I think you can never predict where an artist will be....who thought Madonna would still be here. I think you just have to see.
i'd really rather that madonna NOT be around.  i absolutely loathe her.

I was sort of joking when I said intimate. I mean it is totally different then going to Verizon Center. 9:30 has good sound so all in all it will be a good show. Who on the forum is even going to the show????

Sorry, but something about that doesn't make sense to me.  In my opinion, a venue is either intimate or it's not, pretty much depending entirely on its size.  Whether a venue is intimate or not doesn't change depending on who's playing there.  First you say that a venue is intimate if it's less than 300 people, then you say that the 9:30 would be intimate if Pink Floyd played there.  That's just contradictory and doesn't make any sense.

An example is Pink, she came in summer of 06 to 930 and then she was just here on Friday. 930 was definitely more intimate because it was smaller and sound was better. You could probably she her pimples and such. The same goes for Justin when he played there. There is a difference between 1,000 and over 10,000. My whole point is you'll actually be able to see her with your naked eye and see her pimples or whatever she has.

In answer to your question in the FAQ section, I believe Aaron LaCrate is openning for Lily Allen

Oh, good.  So she'll definitely be gone tomorrow.

Since when did Lily Allen "come out of nowhere"? Plenty of people were talking about her on this board six months ago. That includes me, a dopey 39 year old from Springfield, and Bagster, an Escalade driving 38? year old.
