Lily Allen has revealed that she thinks Madonna is "overrated".
The Smile singer has also slammed a string of other stars including James Blunt and Pete Doherty.
Asked by GQ magazine to name the most overrated person in pop history, Lily replied: "Madonna. I haven't got anything against her at all but I don't think anything she's done since the early Eighties has really been, like, 'wow'."
"She might have meant something once but I don't know many people my age who care."
On Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty she said, "I do think he has to be exterminated. It is a bit dull, isn't it? I've always been surrounded by smackheads anyway. It's like, 'get over it'."
The outspoken singer added that her opinion on James Blunt "rhymes with his surname".
