Lily Allen reinforced her position as the darling of British pop with her show at Southampton Guildhall, last night.

In a giggly mood, one look at Lily suggested a great night was ahead - and she didn't disappoint.

She gave the mostly female crowd a perfect example of why they love her, as she cruised through a set list mainly composed of tracks from her latest album "It's not me, it's you" with a few hits thrown in from her debut record.

Her new, more sophisticated look in a figure hugging dress did little to hide her feisty personality and ho-holds barred attitude to love and life.

The wide-aged range of the crowd - which included her Mum - was able to enjoy some banter with the singer, but mainly she decided to keep chat to a minimum and concentrate on doing her tunes justice.

Lily delivered fantastic versions of her big hits such as recent number one The Fear, LDN and Smile, with a few cover versions coming from left of field such as Britney Spear's Womanizer.

Early songs in the evening suffered from too much bass, which drowned out Lily singing, but once that was remedied it was clear to see why the 23-year-old songstress is currently enjoying so much success.
