Lily Allen: 'I Hope La Roux Wins 2009 Mercury Prize' Add to My Fav Bands List

Lily Allen has backed La Roux to win this year's Mercury Prize.

Allen voiced her support for the singer, who has been nominated for her 2009 self-titled debut, on her Twitter page.

“I hope La Roux wins,” Allen wrote in a short message on the micro-blogging website.

Allen was a surprise omission from this year's shortlist having been strongly backed by fans and critics.

Other big names, including Oasis and Doves, also failed to pick up a nomination.

Kasabian, The Horrors and Bat For Lashes are among the twelve acts in contention for this year's Mercury Prize.

The prestigious award will be handed out at a ceremony in London on September 8.
