There's still a lot of people that can't let go of that SNL performance. I hear about it when I mention her name. "Oh that girl that was horrible on SNL?" Who knew that show was a kingmaker. But yeah she's still come a long way in a short period of time. I think she should have picked up some Grammy noms, but the US music industry seems to have a stick up it's butt where she's concerned.

Maybe I'm off here, but that seems like the first taste the general public got of her, I know I had no idea who she was until I saw yahoo front page headlines about her doing bad on SNL. You only get one chance to make a first impression.

Like the songs, love her voice, but what's up with her face? smh.

 

[Aselith]

She has gotten amazing live since SNL.

I love her. She's amazing, her songwriting is superb. Her demos are killer.

She's so beautiful too.

She sounded like she was sick during that appearance. She probably should have skipped it if she was. Maybe she thought she would be a trooper and got burned by it.

I get the feeling Lana del Rey is designed for people who don't want to be challenged by music but want to pretend that they are.

No one has ever pretended that Lana is challenging.

Or so I dearly, dearly hope.

I also hope no one is pretending that music needs to be challenging to be good.

Also popjustice doesn't know shit

I don't think she has the best voice but I think her music is great, Paradise Edition of BTD is fucking great.

 

[K.Sabot]

Her voice is decent, and some songs can be catchy in the right mood, but the lyrics and writing are absolutely atrocious.

I get the feeling Lana del Rey is designed for people who don't want to be challenged by music but want to pretend that they are.

or it could just be that people like to listen to music that sounds good to them. That could be fucking it, I don't know why people on the internet or wherever feel the need to shit on the opinions of other people's taste in music.

God knows I don't like Metal music and think it's trash but I don't go into threads with their fans and shit on their opinions. I just don't fucking listen to it and then have the common courtesy to leave them alone.

 

[Syphon Filter]

lana is great,best female artist by far.

 

[Riposte]

"Pabst blue ribbon on ice" is the worst lyric to ever be in a song.

(P.S. I secretly like (some of) her music. No one must ever know.)

 

[Oersted]

Deciding between her original album for 8 bucks or the paradise edition for 17 bucks. any help?
