It's been Scott's Record of the Week all week, and I'm loving it. She looks really cute in the music video too. But what do you think?

it's a GREAT track, i love it :D

Lily also looks very cute in the video :hug:

i hope it gets to number one, as at least she actually has a talent for writing & singing, hope the rest of the tracks on the new album as as good if not even better as with the first album all the tracks were good & not one bad one amongst them 8)

The song's not too bad, but I hate Lily Allen with such a complete passion, that I really don't want to listen to it. A matter of principle really.

I find her negative energy - and not remotely funny, or anything else.

I never forgot how rude she was to Moyles some time back when she came in, stomping off in a huff. She was also rude to Jo Whiley on "orange unsigned act" - again, sometime back.

A brat, I find.

Don't you feel that to hate her, or indeed anyone with a complete passion is a wee bit extreme? But then again I don't like/use the word 'hate' much. I find it pretty negative.:|

Anyhow, I really like the song. The lyrics are interesting, wasn't so sure about the melody at first, but it's grown on me.

I don't really like to use the word "hate" much myself.... but in lily allen's case, I feel no words are strong enough. I'm surprised she's even lasted this long, tbh.

Sorry, I suppose I'm a bit of an extreme person: I either really like people, or I just don't - it's that simple, I guess.

"Strongly dislike" may be a better alternative to use, but that's me!

is the swearing in the middle of the song a desperate attempt at controversy?

No more, presumably, than Madonna's attempts to be controversial. 'Fuck Bush' springs to mind.

I love the record. I love it when she has a sweet tone in her records as opposed to having a butch like attitude in records such as 'Smile'. It reminds me a bit of 'Alfie' which was a plea to her brother.

Her interview with Scott!!! She was even talking about her PERIODS. Do we really want to hear this. Was this yet another attempt at controversy: you know, "I can say what I like", etc.

She was talking about normal people stuff. I doubt Madonna has even heard about the credit crunch yet. I would much rather hear Scott and Lily than someone like Jo Whiley tip toeing around Madonna trying to find something in common to talk about (see her interview earlier this year).

Personally, I thought that interview was fab. They get on well.

Yeh, "normal people" stuff, but do we really need to know about it around dinner time. Nearly put me off my steak pie & peas.

I always get this weird impression that people are often frightened to challenge Lily Allen - even Moyles is a wuss around her.

Well I don't think an interview should be based around when someone is having their tea or not, Scott's show is immature, and that sort of stuff is what the show is about. But each to their own, I prefer my celebrities talking normal stuff when interacting with Scott. I enjoyed Mariah Carey's interview the second time where he sung to her Kate Nash stuff and talked about Wing rather than her talking about her rich lifestyle.

Mariah Carey is at least a different class, and not appearing as common as muck.

I know Scott's stuff is immature, but it is around dinner time, when a lot of people are having their tea, and don't wish to listen to Lily Allen's level of .... crap.

Rachel off of Moyles' brekkie show stopped Kelly Osborne from discussing similar stuff one morning.

:shock: she dresses like a stripper !

Lily has a great talent, in both singing ability & writing, she is just being herself she isn't going to pretend to be someone else when being interviewed & she won't take no crap from people either !

I like it, it's poppier than I thought it would be but nevertheless it's pretty good. She's actually someone I have a fair bit of respect for as she's not afraid to be herself and say what she thinks. And she's a pretty good songwriter too, I really liked her first album and I can definitely see this new one growing on me.

And with regards to her talking about periods, at least she actually has something to say for herself and isn't afraid to speak her mind, unlike people like Mariah Carey...

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

    • The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!
    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
