Lily Allen is clearly a big quitter these days. Not a week goes by without her quitting something or other. First it was music, even though she still has a tour planned. Next it was her blog about the issues surrounding illegal filesharing, which she deleted and walked away from seemingly without warning.
And now? Now, it’s all technology, including MySpace, Twitter, and her BlackBerry, allegedly all in aid of pleasing her boyfriend Sam Cooper.

One of Lily’s pals reportedly told The Daily Star:
“We thought she was joking, but it’s been a month since she last Twittered. Before then you could always …read more

Brit Music Scene has now been up and running for over a year, and in that time has hopefully given you the best news, reviews, and features about the British music scene. But everything has to evolve or die and so I need feedback from my readers on which direction this blog should go in the future.
You’ve read my views on British music for the last twelve months but I now need you to give me your views on Brit Music Scene. What do you want to see more of and less of? Does Amy Winehouse get too much coverage …read more

Lily Allen has been getting some interesting press lately mainly from the tabloid press who have been covering her 2 week holiday in the south of France.
First there were paparazzi shots of her sunbathing and swimming topless, then reports of her being totally out of control in Cannes, and lastly speculation that she may be trying to get back together with ex boyfriend Ed Simons from The Chemical Brothers.
It’s very unlike Lily to take things lying down and not speak her mind so she has now chosen to answer the criticism and rumours flying about in a new blog post …read more

Brit Music Scene remains the best blog on the b5 media network, but there are a lot of other brilliant blogs across the network, and some of the best are those in the music channel.
Mike Laba decided it was time we all got to know each other a bit better, and so is slowly but surely working his way around all of us conducting interviews.
This week’s focus is on Deb Ng, who writes She Plays Music, a log dedicated to female singers, and artists. Is that a bit sexist? Only in the way Brit Music Scene could be described as …read more

Arjun over at The Good Musician is hosting a list day today, and has asked all of the b5 Music Channel bloggers to come up with 10 artists they wouldn’t want to switch places with.
Obviously my choices here on Brit Music Scene are going to all be British artists, and instead of going for the usual reasons, as in they’re dead, or just a plain laughing stock, I thought I’d try to come up with reasons slightly away from the norm.

So here is my ultra snarky list of 10 British Musicians I Wouldn’t Want to Switch Places With:-
Joss Stone
She was …read more

Leona Lewis, currently sitting pretty at number one in the UK singles chart, has an unlikely celebrity fan.
Lily Allen, someone who I would associate with the more independent side of the pop industry wouldn’t be my first guess at being a fan of reality show winner Lewis.
Leona won last year’s X Factor show and has just released her first proper single, the one with her own style on it, rather than what Simon Cowell and his cronies think she should sound like.
I wasn’t very impressed the first time I heard Bleeding Love but it is growing on me (like …read more

Elton John, that bastion of the British Music Scene for 30 years thinks that the Internet is bad for music, and stops people creating stuff. The gay pop star and hissy fit diva also called for people to stop blogging, and get out and communicate with each other. Ermmm hello Elton, I probably talk to more people through and because of my blogs than at any other time through my life.
The 60 year old ‘Candle in the Wind’ singer told The Sun newspaper:-
“The internet has stopped people from going out and being with each other, creating stuff. Instead they sit …read more
