I'm at this drama. Anyway, I'm happy she said something in her own "defense" . I think the journalist wouldn't lie. Manipulate the truth? Yes. Lie? No. I's The Guardian, a credible newspaper not the DM or some cheap punch gossip site. Lana probably said those words just not in the order or in that way which changes the meaning obviously of what she said but yet she said it. I wonder if one of them will pull a M.I.A and just release the interview. Imagine? I think doesn't matter much if she said it or not since is her thing. But I hope she was just trolling the media which I believe is very possible, because a suicidal pop star is so 90'and out of fashion

That's America (Vegas) Bill don't think Brit is as big as she was, which is not saying she isn't famous world wide. Britney will never have Madge's longevity because she's bipolar or something like that. Britney didn't flop imo quite the opposite. It's something great she's still out there after what she went through. It's not her fault or anyone's fault what happened to her was something called genetics. We will never know how Britney's career would have gone if she was still her full self, probably very well. If you ask me she did the most with what was left so kudos to her. I will forever have a spot in my heart for Britney And people saying Beyonce is bigger or even close to what Britney represents just lOL. Beyonce is huge in US and UK not much more...look to her sales, the arena she plays. Britney in her prime didn't fit in a arena was just football stadiums and large festivals. Britney was a entire generation idol Beyonce doesn't even have the charisma to be something like that

oh please world wide success wise Britney tells Beysus to take a seat , Sorry like Madge the closest is Britney and Shakira

She did well in Planeta Terra and that was a big festival. I think she's sick or just fed up of interviews and public stuff.

Not really, America considers Central America a sub division of North America which connects North America to South America. As far as I know by maps that are actually governmental and not Wiky Central America is a sub division of the Americas continent like South and North America. ps: Creo que yo debería hablar en español y no en Inglés acá

Hispanic =/= from Spanish by the way did you buy your map in a wholesale or took online Geography lessons? Its kind of missing Central America ( Belize, Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador) and calling Brazilians Latin Americans and Argentinians Hispanic's is hilarious. By the way no, Hispanic is a term connoted by US and is not only addressing Language. They don't call people from Spain "Hispanic" do they? Europeans is what they are. Is to address entire cultures/countries which are different in so many aspects from each other as a single package in a very diminutive way. They started to call mexicans like that and now for some reason extended to every south/central American country. In my maps and classes we never addressed our continent as "Hispanic" which I assume is right because they are not Hispanic.

HISPANIC ISN'T A RACE OR A NATIONALITY # This spanic/ hispanic issue drives me crazyyyyyy LOL South Americans are not Hispaniccccccccccccc they are Uruguaios, Argentinos, Chilenos, Colombianos.......Peruanos...etc If South Americans are Hispanic, what should we the Brazilians, Portugueses, Angolans call ourselves? The Portuguenishes? HISPANIC ISN'T A RACE OR A NATIONALITY # This spanic/ hispanic issue drives me crazyyyyyy LOL South Americans are not Hispaniccccccccccccc they are Uruguaios, Argentinos, Chilenos, Colombianos.......Peruanos...etc If South Americans are Hispanic, what should we the Brazilians, Portugueses, Angolans call ourselves?

Do you know one of the (biggest) reasons why part of the "Western" world/ governments doesn't bother much? Because reconstruction contracts signed and given to rebuild what's left of the allegedly country is as profitable, sometimes even more, then the weapon industry. That's Ukraine case in 5 or 10 years from now: a Ghost country with the historical buildings and most of the cities destroyed. The more wrecked Ukraine is, more a few countries will profit rebuilding what's left and creating new buildings, roads, houses, schools and etc. Why do you think US likes to play monopoly and the world's savior so much? Have you have any idea how much US constructions companies got to rebuild Bosnia? Iraq..Afghanistan...look how much the world invested "rebuilding" , reconstructing and " helping" those places. Poverty and wars (civil ones when get to this level follows in the same category since the effect is basically the same) are a money machine.

What do you think I think? rolls eyessssss

I know every family is complicated. Some songs in reference to her mother are not the kindest that's why I mentioned maybe was some shit going on with her mom at the time. It's not because it's complictaed you stop loving your mom LOL Maybe her mom is an alcoholic since according to this interview "runs in the family genes" Off course not. By the way you can't be adopted out of the bloom with your parents alive, not even by your own sister LOL. I was just saying maybe she was legally responsable for them since they live with her since they were under age and you need a legal tutor for that Well, ok but I don't believe her parents or a balanced family would believe the older sister is responsible for her underage siblings when she's in her early twenties herself.

I can't with this!! HAHAHHAH love it! A love song to a fridge http://mmmgash.tumblr.com/post/88273928296/bridget-jones-singing-about-her-fridge-amazing

. I have a large family, lovely but complicated. I am responsible for my brother and my sister, who live with me. And I have some trouble moving from one world to the next." [OP Note: meaning, she has trouble finding balance between her personal and professional life.] This is very interesting. Is the first time I see Lana addressing her family as "complicated". I always thought her relationship with her mother was not that great and inspires her music more then she allows people to know. She also says she's responsible for her siblings which implies in a certain extent she's legally responsible for them,

here here fair fair ============================= - Adele is making another masterpiece as I write this post and I wanna buy it and can't wait anymore. I don't even care if she's singing Kim K's lines from Keeping Up With the Katarshians. Put the KFC on the fridge Adele and go finish that album that i crave and need. Salivates. - Whatever Madonna is going to release - Lily Allen probably gonna release another in the end of the year - Robin? - Rihanna's album obviously gonna slay and I want more island girl hits Goddess TBA Ultraviolenceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Broke With Expensive Taste (I also believe in gnomes, ET's and tooth fairy ) PS: Forgot about Charli and since I believe in Azealia there is no shame in believing Marina will release something I can wait for Jessie J's album too. I truly believe is going to be , again, the worst album of the year and I love horrible things

as a marketing and Advertising student I can say Lana is (probably) fully aware of the principles of authenticity. The first rule of authenticity is to never proclaim yourself authentic in any way. That said every person personal experience is authentic because we are all authentic human beings, no experience is equal to different people, not even sharing the same dish at a restaurant. The experience you feel is internal and all the external is not authentic. In that sense also no experience is really authentic , not even going to camp in the jungle since someone designed the paper map or GPS you will use and someone designed the car, bike, plane that will take you there. Since music these days is treated and sold as a commodity all rules of business and society applies to art in most cultures, being US the epitome of culture sold as a commodity, as a service (Itunes...serves you music....internet serves you a music store...goes on...) authenticity and all it's sub categories (Fake - Fake ; Fake-Real; Real-Fake; Fake-Fake and Real - Real) are probably under Lana's radar since her teens...her dad been a advertiser and all and her being clearly a good advertiser and a student of human behavior is fair to assume she's fully aware the search for authenticity is doomed from the start. IMo Lana is a storyteller and she really gets into the character she's playing/writing about.

a true American belongs to a cult

bringing Nina on the road

Babe being from US and being a American Icon are 2 completely different things lol She~s an Icon from America not an American Icon

You know what I was gonna giive to my brother on his 21th birthday? Azealia's album You know what I was going to give to my brother on his 22th birthday? Azealia's album You know what I'm going to give to my brother on his 50th birthday? Azealias first album. Will be out that day, I'm pretty sure is the release date Interscope gave to Azealia, this Azealia "no album" issue pisses me off so much. It's brutal the waste of potential. UGH. Hope those videos are good and for new songs. Seriously she's the biggest hip hop / rap artist that never was. M.I.A did it first, better and with a lot more class. Just think Azealia is copying Maya and let it be.

I love Sia so much. Soon We'll be Found video moves me every time I see it, it's one of my favorite videos ever. Is so delicate, sad and beautiful. Like a quiet storm of sadness and hope. I don't know why she hides her face so much, she's so pretty and expressive. Buttons is also so disturbing for some reason LOL I'm pretty sure I do very strange facial expressions while watching. That taped chin with those pre plastic surgery eyes make me laugh

obviously So Legit takes the crown for the sad clown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAKg1e_Br4Y

I just saw this today!! I'm in love with this tbh. I think is amazingggggg 1. Her tung in a grill "lock down" is amazinggggg 2. OMFG at the Middle East critic through the fake printed mouth scarf smile of white girls 4. the reference to 84 is so genius

You didn't mention Adele , you mentioned record sales and that's why I mentioned Adele and 21. Icon and record sales don't necessarily walk hand in hand. I don't think Adele is an icon for example, she's going to be the most successful artist of our generation but she doesn't have influence over social behavior or fashion and movies. Beyonce is the same, just a lot less successful then Adele. Record sales doesn't make you an International icon, it's not just that tbh. Did you ever heard about Roberto Carlos? He sold more than 100 million albums. Rita Lee? She sold until now 75 millions. Ivete? Sold 20 millions and has the record of concerts DVD sales. Yet you never heard about them did you? The world is not America and the whole world doesn't speak English. The fact Madonna is that huge in the 4 corners is incredible. Beyoncé will never be as powerful as Madonna, the only one from that list who comes close to Madge is Shakira, in social-cultural importance. The only artist I can see having a chance to be a legend is Rihanna. Gaga could be but by the way things are turning out and going for her I don't see that happening.

was a joke, obviously Anyway , 3 things happened to Azealia's career: US, Interscope and Azealia's personality

Maybe in US she already did. Yet Madonna and Michael Jackson were who they were because of their international appeal , the fact people loved them everywhere they go. In a time with no internet I must add. Beyoncé is not even close to be a Icon here or in SA for that matter. She's not much of a thing in Asia as well.I believe she's huge in US makes world tours but doesn't have the Madonna heat and hits you know? Lakes talent and charisma I guess. Her album sales say it all, Rihanna out sells her on every category with very little effort. Beyoncé has a great them tho her strategic team is amazing but that's not her per say just says what everyone already knows: she's a good business woman. Beyoncé also stands for nothing, like she's so beige. I think you are being sarcastic when you say Beysus will one day have 1/5 of Madge's success with 1/1000 of Madge's talent Even Katy Perry has more personality than Beysus

Adele and her 26 million copies of a single album called 21 would disagree. Rihanna sold more than 50 million of albums by the way.
