I want "Starry Eyed" to be in UV..love that song the bestest tbh

So I had got to hear the Adam Freeland Remix of Summertime Sadness one day and right after that I begun wondering how would it sound with the vocals. Thanks to the leak of the acapella I created my first re-remix ever. If there are any flaws - blame it on the novice. But I secretly hope you'll enjoy it, at least just a little. It's only an experiment, after all.

A lot of singers uses marilyn monroe as reference, I mean, Madonna did it. And in the song "Dance In the Dark" GaGa says "You will never fall appart, Diana you're still in our hearts" (and the song where recorded before Lana became famous)
Both Marylin and Diana are female icons that are used in the pop culture, and both GaGa and Lana uses pop culture as reference.

I really didn't know how to title this so I kinda think the current one is confusing... if someone makes up a better title just suggest it and I'll use it Then, if some people think this doesn't need its own thread there's no problem if it ends up merged with other thread + I didn't find a thread that talks about this so that's why I opened this one
 
Okey, I started noticing this when and anon send a message to a tumblr blog (TOSTB) and it was about how you can clearly listen to For K Part 2 ending at the beginning of Jump and the same with Mermaid Motel -> Raise Me Up. This was some months ago and today I listened to the whole album in its official tracklisting (I mostly listen to music on shuffle) and noticed that this happened with most of the tracks:
 
You can listen at the very end of Kill Kill (3:56 in my version) the beginning of Queen of the Gas Station. Then the song mutes and the beginning of QOTGS starts again but this time in its own track (QOTGS). At the very very very veeery beginning of Oh Say Can You See you can hear QOTGS's bass (??? idk what instrument it is) for like, less than a second and then the song starts with the guitar. (Notice that QOTGS mutes at the last seconds, just like Kill Kill - but you don't hear KK's ending at QOTGS).
Gramma and For K Part 2 are completely fine. At least I didn't notice anything like with the previous ones.
Like I previously said you can hear FKP2 at the beginning of Jump.
Mermaid Motel is fine (well, it mutes at the end like [i can almost confirm] every song on the album).
Like I previously said you can hear MM at the beginning of Raise Me Up.
Barely noticeable, but you can hear the very end of Raise Me Up at the -again- very beginning of Pawn Shop Blues.
Same that the previous point, you can listen to PSB before the male voice starts talking on Brite Lites.
Didn't notice anything on Put Me In A Movie, just that it mutes 2 seconds before its official ending (like most of the album).
You can clearly listen to Lizzy's voice saying 'put me in a movie' before the piano (again idk if I'm correct with which instrument is) drops at Smarty and I think you can listen to Yayo's beginning (the noise before the guitar starts playing) at the very end.
Yayo is fine.
 
From this I noticed that two of the Kill Kill EP tracks were completely fine (no mixed endings/beginnings) and we know those tracks were released in 2008 before the album and with another tracklisting... but then again you can listen to QOTGS at the end of Kill Kill. I tried to download a supposedly iTunes version of the EP (and I think it was reliable cuz it was shared by @@HeadBitch ) but the folder only had Yayo and it couldn't load at my iTunes sooo I quited.
 
I noticed too that the PSB instrumental shared by @@DarkParadise on here didn't have the problem that album version has + it doesn't mute at the end like most of the album (all the leaked instrumentals end properly btw). Smarty doesn't have the vocals at the beginning too, but that's obvious considering it's the instrumental and the end of PMIAM it's acapella.
 
I haven't checked video versions or early mixes or the ones Kahne had in his website cuz I'm not digging that much in this topic but yeah...
 
Why this happens?
Is the iTunes version of the album (not leaked/surfacing yet - don't even know if someone has it) not mixing the songs? (This problem happens too in Britney Spears' In the Zone, with the ending of Outrageous being featured at the beginning of Touch of my Hand, and I have the iTunes version of that album).
Does this happen in the AKA you guys have? I downloaded mine at very late 2011 or I think January 2012. It supposedly is 320kbps.
 
So yeah I want to know if someone here already noticed this and if someone familiarized with the topic knows why this happens (and only with the album versions)
 

Beyoncé is certainly no stranger to accusations of plagiarism in her videos. Considering the large number of videos comprising her eponymous visual album, it would not be surprising if some of them were less than original. Did she copy Lana Del Rey?
 
Compare the album cover design and font to a Paradise box set booklet:

With Tropico, the "Ride" video, the "Blue Velvet" promo for H&M, and the "Song of Myself" promo for L'Officiel set to the intro to "Cola", Lana released some sort of video for almost every song on Paradise. One could argue that even the idea of releasing videos for the entire album is derivative. Now let's look at those videos.
 
 
PRETTY HURTS
Much like the opening bars of "Ride", the opening bars begin with the image of Beyoncé singing into a slender microphone, wearing a mostly white dress against sparkly blue stage curtains:

 
The song's themes—eating disorders and the dark side of being a beauty queen—are straight out of "Boarding School", "Brite Lites", and "Pin-Up Galore". Indeed, here we see Mrs. Carter in Ms. Grant's short-cut meth-haired beauty queen style complete with sash accessory:

 
Beyoncé also replicates Lana's arched back & cupped hand underwater poses from the "Blue Jeans" video:

 
She not only borrows Tropico co-star Shaun Ross, but doubles down on the African albinism by casting Diandra Forrest. To top it off, Beyoncé even has the audacity to lift Lizzy's iconic trademark sequined bra:

 
 
GHOST
In "Ghost", Sasha Fierce is not herself, assuming the identity of Lana's Rosalita alter ego from her "Song of Myself" video for L'Officiel:

 
 
HAUNTED
The "Countdown" singer's video for "Haunted" begins with a hauntingly familiar countdown straight outta one of Lizzy's DIY "Gramma" videos:

 
Then in true diva style, Beyoncé makes her male servant light her cigarette for her like a little bitch like Barrie at a Lana show:

 
The whole video imitates the imitated Lynchian style of Lana's "Blue Velvet" promo for H&M complete with the requisite Doppelgangers:

 
Yet it borrows scenes from "National Anthem" & Tropico. Black guys gambling? Check.

 
Strippers giving lapdances to white businessmen? Check.

 
People in whiteface? Check.

 
Bubbles? Check.

 
Originality? ...Anyone? Bueller?
 
 
DRUNK IN LOVE
In addition to lyrics that sound like a first draft of "Brite Lites" ("Flashing lights, flashing lights, you got me faded, faded, faded"), this intoxicating concoction's potency is poured from "National Anthem", where Lana grinds on another snifter-wielding rapper, A$AP Rocky:

 
 
BLOW
The cotton candy confection of the music masks Lana-like lyrics ("Every time I close my eyes", "I'ma let you be the boss of me", "Give me that daddy long stroke" and an interlude in French) in a video easily summarized as "pin-up girls at the roller derby". We also see a close-up of a disco ball a la her DIY "Yayo" video:

 
And Beyoncé perched on the hood of a car in a fuck-me pose like Lana in the "Born to Die" video:

 
In this case, we're lucky that "Blow" doesn't Soileau. Bradley sucks.
 
 
NO ANGEL
In an inversion of Lana's "angels forever" refrain, the "Halo" songstress proclaims, "You're no angel either, baby." She asks, "Tell me do you want to ride?" Like Lana in "Ride", Beyoncé is Queen of the Gas Station, knocking off Lana's hot long curly hair and cut-off jeans look. Unlike Lana, at least she's responsible enough to only be figuratively smokin' at the pump.

 
We see chicks on the back of motorcycles:

 
Tacky word bling:

 
And pole dancers making it rain:

 
 
YONCÉ
In "Yoncé", she continues the ghetto theme, banging around with her gang of ghetto girls like Lana in Tropico:

 
Who does Beyoncé think she is to appropriate all these signifiers of ghetto culture from gangsta Nancy Sinatra? Rather uppity if you ask me.

wtf are you all talking about. this is cara delevingne

I love it sooo much minus Juicy J

This dude raises relevant points but pretty much sabotages himself and his own credibility by starting the article with such an inane sentence as 'I’m mad that Lana Del Rey is on mainstream radio'. I wanted to stop reading right there.

JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL

aw no, i love pawn shop blues.
 
cola tbh, i rly dislike it but everyone else seems to love it

what is this  

bel air probs

It looks like it's been through 3 World Wars IMO. Just.. ew. I've only seen 2 pictures, (not looking at the other links because he's not much to look at) but that's all you really need to see to judge a dick. It just looks.. gross. Like, I've seen so much better, not-beat-up looking dicks. Also, the tattoo is a huge turn-off for me and makes his dick look 10x worse than it already did. How that is even possible, I don't know, but it makes it worse. Blargh.
