I wasn't a fan of this when I first head it but after a few listens it's actually quite good. Lily is quite knowledgeable when it comes to Ska & Reggae. It's not supposed to sound exactly like the Specials. She was also invited on stage by your heroes at Glastonbury in 2007 so all you Ska snobs out there please cut her some slack and let her get on with it.
Most of the Specials' songs were covers, alot of those were better then the original. And another thing, people who are pointing out that the Specials' version of this song is alot better then what Lilly Allen has done to it(Mutilation), I wouldn't call that bum sucking, rather calling them as you hear them.
Sorry lily but this is SHITE!!! The BLANK EXPRESSION is when i found all these video's of you ruining the Special's Classic tunes.....what did the Specials do to you?????
back off alot of ppl have their own mixes for a bunch of diff crap and alot of ppl acyually like it 4 somr srupid reason. . . .stop bitch and get over it
listen I wont be called a bitch by some yank who has a PINK homepage and lists the BACKSTREET BOYS as music they like to listen to. Read the comments people are writing..it's not just me....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'll second that, this song is rubbish, stop telling people what they should or should not care about. If anything you shouldn't care so much about comments you don't agree with in the first place.
Never heard the original but I didnt think it was that bad. I like Lily with the ragge dub beat that was pretty cool. She sould do something with Steel Pulse. Nice....
Lily Allen is beautiful ,She is british so her English is kindalike upper class , But I do not understand how her skin color does not look as pale white as british girls are maybe she is kind of middle blood or mixed race lady.Though that I have to finish saying that SHE IS OWESOME and a supernatural pretty girl.
OH WTF, this is not cool, Blank expression is such a good song and she just shot it in the face then called it's mama a 2 cent whore.......................................If your not The Specials......don't cover it.
I really don't know man. I just saw that people were arguing back & forth and everyone just jumped in... I just thought I would add to it like a month later with what is basically spam.
Love your comment!! Mutilate ......why didn't I think of that...I've been using SLAUGHTER....but mutilate is a much better word...i'll use it in future on my quest to stop Lilly Allen and Amy WHINEhouse mutilating songs from The Specials...Thanks again
Do ya ppl think it's easy to write songs? Well, it's not and at least she tried to change it to make it her own. If ya'll don't like it, don't ruin it for other ppl pls.
In what way are we ruining it for other people? If you are all so gullible that reading a few posts will make you change your mind about what you think of the song, you didn't have a real opinion about the song in the first place. If the posts didn't bother you, I ask you again; in what way did we ruin it for other people?
It's too electronic for me. I love Lily and respect her tastes in ska, but I don't like this much at all. Ska and techno-beat shouldn't be mixed like this in my opinion.
I think I'm going to be shot for saying this, but Amy Winehouse's Specials covrs are better in my opinion.
GOD should smute u. My gosh it might not be her best wrk in ur optinion but give her some credit. Amy Winhouse has nothing on Lily. U rule girl! By far 1 of ur best songs regardless of what others think! ^ !

STUPID BITCH, How dare you fuck around with Specials records. What a fuckin pile of shit,she should be prancin around to football songs like her sad dad. LOCK HER UP!
Blank Expression is sold in the states only as a full album download from iTunes. Since I already had all tracks I have resisted downloading all tracks just to get this one. But I want this and her rendition of 'Everybody's Changing' by Keane!
The original song "Blank Expression" is by The Specials (when they were still known as the Coventry Automatics i think?) If you find this version on cd or whatever please let me know cos it's brill.
I quite like this.
Oh my gosh you're all going to hunt me down and kill me, aren't you???
