Always outspoken, never outdone, Lily Allen has come out and slammed Radiohead for offering their seventh studio album for free music download, saying that the band made a mistake when they asked fans to chose what they think the album is worth.
Attention-seeking Allen went on to call Radiohead “arrogant” – all this coming from the singer who made it big on MySpace.
Allen said, “It’s arrogant for them to give their music away for free - they’ve got millions of pounds. It sends a weird message to younger bands who haven’t done as well.”
Music downloads are here to stay, so who is Lily Allen to stand in the way of being creative about the whole process? Maybe she’s jealous that Radiohead are big enough to do such a thing and she isn’t.
Lily even compared music to eggs, saying, “You don’t choose how to pay for eggs, why should it be different for music?”
If someone offered eggs for free download where you could chose to pay as little as you liked, it would probably be the best thing ever.
Move along Lily Allen!
