"  Lily Allen has already hailed Miley Cyrus a &amp;quot;fearless bitch,&amp;quot; but now she&amp;#039;s heaping even more praise on the brazen pop star. In a new interview with Billboard, Allen likens Cyrus to two of the UK&amp;#039;s biggest rock bands.  &amp;quot;I saw it at the O2 in London [in May], and I&amp;#039;m not exaggerating when I say it&amp;#039;s one of the best shows that I&amp;#039;ve seen in years,&amp;quot; said Allen. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s up there with an Oasis show or the Stone Roses or something. It&amp;#039;s kind of incredible to watch -- she&amp;#039;s a real force. There&amp;#039;s no two ways about it, she&amp;#039;s meant to be up there doing that.&amp;quot;   And it&amp;#039;s more than just the music, Allen is also enraptured by her on-and-off-stage charisma.   &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s incredible, and she has such a presence. Her personality is what shines through. I&amp;#039;m not close to Miley, I don&amp;#039;t know her very well, but I feel proud of her.&amp;quot;  Anyone familiar with Allen and Cyrus knows they&amp;#039;re both no strangers to drastic transformations, even if it means raising a few (or, like a billion) eyebrows. The Sheezus singer realizes that growing up a Disney star raises the stakes.  &amp;quot;It must have been very tough for her to make that transition from the Disney star of &amp;#039;Hannah Montana&amp;#039; into herself, essentially. People don&amp;#039;t really like change in this day and age, and not only has she succeeded in changing her complete persona, but she&amp;#039;s done it in an in-your-face way, which I love. I&amp;#039;m all for that kind of stuff.&amp;quot; We know Lily, we know.
