British pop newcomer LILY ALLEN was ditched from her first record label because she had a “funny face”. The SMILE singer, who shot to the top of the UK charts tonight (09JUL06), was signed to the same label as former girl band ALL SAINTS as a fifteen-year-old.
However, her unique looks didn’t impress bosses at London records who ditched her despite her obvious singing talents.
A former employee at the company tells British tabloid the Daily Star, “Back then, she had a funny face and it all looked too challenging. We wanted pretty girls who were instantly marketable.
“So we got rid of her because she wasn’t one of those.”

And yet I think Lily Allen is very pretty, with a personality, could it be that record companies only want Fake people? “”YES”” thats what they mean by marketable
