Taylor Momsen Is Pretty Reckless At The Annex

Taylor Momsen Is Pretty Reckless At The Annex

Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen and her band The Pretty Reckless rocked out the stage at hipster hot spot the Annex in New York’s Lower East Side on Tuesday night (May 5).

Concertgoer Rachel Sklar described, “I quite liked the speed and sound of their stuff, and Momsen can sing – she belts it out with a rough scratchy punk-rock voice that had a Courtney Love/Kim Carnes/Alannah Myles/Gwen Stefani/Hedwig feel. Plus good energy and presence, especially when you remember that she’s freaking SIXTEEN.”

# 2

another regular futureless band
she sing pretty bad,leighton is so much better
I don’t like taylor’s style,she is trying to be a bad girl but her face says something else,and she’s only 16,c`mon

# 3

She’s a trainwreck waiting to happen

# 5

I wonder what kind of home life this girl has. Does she attend school or is she just tutored on set? She’s always out late at night during weekdays.

If I would have dressed like that at 16 my mum would have killed me.
Nice to see she has a ‘cool’ mum who let’s her dress like a hooker!

I also didn’t know it was a talent to sound like a drunk person, that was completely new to me!

i guess people cant see talent when they see it a little judgemental much? that was really good especially considering shes 16. wow good for her- music could use a raw & real feamle voice.

or not. ahaha i didnt like it

hey, i think it´s a great concert(or what it was) i this she has a great voice.
I mean, when you see it in Gossip Girl, it´s weir to see her ROCK!!

i love it

she’s still fifteen isn’t she?
wow she’s really embracing her rock edge nowadays.
still think she’s awesome on GG.

Poor girl trying too hard …
She is desperately trying to be this “punk/rock girl”

has she drunk? nice voice, when she don’t shout..

She’s fifteen people! she turns 16 on july 26th. What she’s wearing is not even bad, seriously.. I’ve seen a lot worse on kids that are 13. But anyway, I really like her & her style & her i dont give a ******* attitude. I’m tired of these good girl actresses that just care about what people think, and they seem really fake. She’s actually being real, and I respect her a lot for that.

oh my word she’s a mess .. oh Taylor get rid of the eye liner and just act

i just puke in my mouth, that was the most hideous voice ever, quit on the crack would ya?, she’s 15 … wow her mother should be so proud of her spawn, where are the kids protection when you need them?

god why are people so judgemental!? i mean if the girl wants to sing, let her sing, if it makes her happy and shes having fun, why ruin that. if you dont think shes good then just dont listen!

I like her voice :) But I don’t really like her performance here…

first she’s not even 16, she’s 15 and she looks on drugs, yeah very Courtney Love actually. Poor girl, where is the Taylor from GG season 1 who looked like her age?
her best look/hair cut was after the writers strike, she was so cute ! now…well… that’s too bad because i think she has a lot of talent, especially for being that young, she’s a good actress.

Who knew she had a decen voice.

There’s nothing wrong with what she’s doing. People want her to be scandalous when she’s pretty much the opposite. Times have changed.

I think she sounds great! I like the melody of the songs too.

Wow, I can’t get over how SERIOUSLY hypocritical some people are. Apparently, it’s only okay for some people to have fun when they’re young, while others like Taylor are only allowed to stay 13 forever. I’d like to see how perfect you were growing up (or if you’re still growing up). Give her a break!

Taylor rocks and I’ll always be a fan of hers no matter what. She’s fearless.

I can understand people being concerned because it seems like her parents act more like pals than parents. What kind of future are they building for Taylor? Gossip Girl isn’t going to last forever.

She sounds amazing. And can we not turn this into a contest between Taylor and Leighton? They’re both doing completely different styles of music.

She is only 16? She looks 35.
Girl needs to get some sleep!
