lily allen: live @ los angeles’ wiltern theatre

good evening! last night i had the opportunity to see lily allen play live for the third time – i’ve been a huge fan of ms. allen’s since my pal victoria first turned me onto her! i must say i did notice a difference between her first los angeles show at the troubadour (back in october ’06) and last night at the wiltern (her second US stop on her new tour) she seemed more confident and mature – overall things were a bit more polished – but still held onto her silly london girl vibe! not only did she sound great – girlfriend looked great too – with her new shorter hair and slimmer self – she came out on stage (a few minutes late due to sound issues) wearing playboy bunny ears and took command of the stage! eventually the ears came off – plus she ditched her high heels for a pair of sneakers – and of course lily enjoyed a couple of glasses of white wine along the way! she played a lot of her new album it’s not me, it’s you along with few tracks from her first album alright, still (i was bummed she didn’t play knock ’em out, shame for you, or alfie – the full set list is pasted below) for her last encore she covered britney spears‘ hit song womanizer – during which out of the blue lindsay lohan popped on stage (which i didn’t even notice because i was busy trying to film with my camera) i know the two ladies are good friends but it seemed so very pointless (here’s video of the incident) i suppose after the show lindsay & lily (along with mom dina lohan – who was also at the show) painted the town red – ms. allen woke up this morning and twittered about being hung over! i know she must have recovered because when i left work today – she was rehearsing for her appearance on jimmy kimmel tonight! ms. allen is touring the states through may (tour dates) definitely check her out if you have the chance! popbytes over & out for tonight … xoxo
