  5. Driving in Cars with Boys - LDR Still one of my all time favourite songs, there is something about it that is so free and nostalgic Next letter: G
  6. I am glad we can move past this, nothing but respect for you I also agree with what you have said here too! I guess it can be easy to misinterpret things online!
  7. I am sorry if that is what I implied, I did not mean to imply that you specifically have called her an idiot, it is just an observation that I have picked up generally across the forum recently. I think you are a brilliant member here and the last thing I want to do is pick a fight with you. I am just saying that as we don't know the full circumstances, maybe we should not be so harsh as it does not do ourselves any good. If I can use one of my own examples to show what I mean, I went through a really rough patch with a very close friend of mine - I was constantly thinking of all the negative things they were doing and assuming their reasons and intentions for things were negative. Turns out, I was pretty off the mark and by thinking so negatively about them all the time, I got myself in a downward spiral where literally everything they did, I interpreted as negative. I then tried to put a more positive spin on things, and it really helped a lot. Again, I am not saying to ignore her mistakes or justify them, just not to tear her to shreds on a regular basis.
  8. I hear what you are saying, but I think as we don't know exactly why there have been broken promises and miscommunications, it would not be right of us to say it is down to Lana being an idiot/annoying/whatever you guys wanna call it. Sure, it may be solely her holding things up, but she is probably doing this for a reason and did not want to tell us more details once she realised how upset we got when she couldn't keep her previous promises. Maybe Ben and Ed told her to not say anything about the album until they knew what was happening, and now it seems she does know what is happening so has shared it with us - but she still gets hate. It's like whatever she does, she can't win. I think it is just important to remember that no matter how much analysis we do, we really don't know for sure what is going on behind the scenes, and it may not be fair of us to make negative judgements on Lana when we don't know the full circumstances. But anyway, I hear you, I also keep grudges
  9. YAS!!! ALBOOM IN AUGUST!!! I know I may get some hate for this, but like can we go back to being positive about Lana now? I think it is brilliant that we all don't put her on a pedestal, but recently I feel there has been a very negative atmosphere which is not helpful for anyone - we automatically assume that anything she does or doesn't do has negative intentions behind it, which may very well not be the case. Obviously that doesn't mean ignoring/justifying behaviour that is bad, or not expressing our opinions, but like... can we be just a little bit more positive now rather than constantly bashing her?
  10. Eh not particularly a fan of Miley or Ariana, but I am excited to hear some new Lana stuff! I wonder if this is what that insider was talking about a few weeks back who was saying there was a collab with someone massive who we would never expect - and damn right I did not expect this!
  11. I think I may have to stan after that video???
  12. asdfghjkl I just thought this was @@salvatore shitposting, and I thought 'nahhhh these lyrics are too cliched to be real'. Yet, here we are! Anyway, now I have heard the snippet, I love it! Lana hasn't teased like this in a while, so maybe we will be going into actual pre-release era soon??
  13. I completely agree with this post, but I also think it is important to take a step back. Just because churches turn a blind eye to these atrocities, doesn't mean Lana shares the same views.
  14. Not really sure what you are trying to say with this reply, but my points still stand that: 1. Lana is very unlikely to be homophobic 2. There is no reason to think that your friends would be going to a controversial church, so you would not think to google it. 3. We all know Lana is not a baby, I get the point you are trying to make, but I think she is a lot deeper than that. Even if she has been lost lately, we still have no actual evidence to judge her like this and bash her so hard. Anyway, I would like to make it clear that I am not trying to get into an argument with anyone here, I am just trying to show you guys how this thinking may not be completely justified, and it may be making things worse than they need to be.
  15. I was not aware that she attended church every week - as far as I know, it's only been a handful of times? I will look into it more. However, even if she is attending for a religious service, it is still not necessarily something we should be jumping to conclusions over. I must have misunderstood the messages, but that is the impression I was getting. But I think it is important to remember, that even if she doesn't know (which I think is likely), then that does not make her a bad person. It makes her naive, and hopefully she can learn from this. Also, as @@Clampigirl said, she may not have thought to look if her friends are going, because why would she think her friends may be attending a controversial church? But there does seem to be a lot of unnecessary hate directed towards Lana lately, which I personally don't feel is justified. It's creating a very negative atmosphere on the forum and lots of members unstanning is sad to see. Sure, we can all unstan if we want to and change our minds, but I think the things we are getting upset about just need to be put into perspective because I think they are getting blown way out of proportion. So if she is very vulnerable, and she is being preyed upon by this church - is she the victim here? Maybe we should be a little more understanding? Yes she is rich and famous, but we have no idea what is going on inside her mind. She may be going through hell. Again, this is still not an excuse for going to these churches, but it can put things back in proportion. Her friends may not be aware of the controversy surrounding those churches either. I can see your point, but I guess we have to agree to disagree on this one! I really think if she didn't want to interact with her fans, she wouldn't. And I don't have any solid 'evidence' for this, but Lana does not strike me as the type who is fussed about money, so I don't think she would change her behaviour to get more money. And I don't think she would do it for a positive reputation, she's always been a bit of a controversial character (feminism bores me, singing about depression etc), so I don't think she is too bothered about what other people think of her. Therefore I don't think she would try and change her behaviour to create a good reputation. I know you may not be necessarily saying this about me, but I just want to make it clear - it's not that I don't want to believe it, it's that I am trying not to blow things out of proportion or judge until I know the full circumstances. And for the record, I am not religious so I am not defending her because of my own religious beliefs. I see your point, and it was a bad decision on her part. But a bad decision does not make her a bad person - again, it's not an excuse for her, but she may not have realised the lack of LGBTQ representation she had in her video. There have been other examples where it could be argued she has included LGBTQ representation in her videos - for example, Summertime Sadness and MTWBT. There have also been other examples in her life which can imply she is pro-LGBT, for example the gay pride parade tweet, the lyrics of For You, not changing the pronouns in Doin' Time, and the photo of her kissing Chuck (of course, her kissing Chuck does not mean she is not anti-LGBTQ, but if she was opposed to it, she may be less likely to do the photoshoot). I understand this is a sensitive topic, and you are upset understandably. But I think it is important to remember naivety is not necessarily negative. Maybe she has googled these topics? Maybe at the moment she assumed these churches would be fine as her friends go there, which I don't think is unreasonable (still doesn't make it right). And I don't see how bashing her like this is going to help anything - it's likely going to lead to worse feelings which is not going to help anyone. I. LOVE. YOU.
  16. I agree with all these points made, just adding in my two cents. I can understand why some of you are upset at Lana attending these churches, but I do think as we don't know exactly why she is attending, we can't jump to conclusions. Lana may not know the anti-LGBTQ views of the churches she attends (which is no excuse as she should look into it more) but if this is the case, it would show Lana is unlikely to be homophobic. It also makes sense to me that she is attending another event in these churches, which may not necessarily be religious (again, she should do some research into what venue she is attending and how this may affect her fanbase). She could be lost in life at the moment, and is simply following her friends to be part of a group - this is still naive and no excuse, but again it shows that she is not necessarily homophobic and may be unaware of the anti-LBGTQ views of these churches. If Lana was truly homophobic, I don't think she would spend so much time meeting fans during concerts and outside concerts (I am not trying to go down the route or 'she associates with LGBTQ groups so therefore she can't be homophobic', instead I am just saying I don't think she would put as much effort in to meet fans if she was homophobic, and I don't think she would have dedicated 'Love' to her fans, knowing we are largely LGBTQ, either). The main point I am trying to make here, is that loads of things could be going on, which does not mean Lana is homophobic. Yeah, it could definitely mean she is naive, but not homophobic.
  17. THIS 1. Just because she is famous, that does not mean she should wear make up or 'make an effort'. Lana is a human like everyone else. 2. Not wearing make up is perfectly fine, and just because her friends are wearing make up, it doesn't mean Lana should wear make up 3. Not wearing make up does not mean something is wrong with her - maybe, just maybe, she feels comfortable enough in her own skin to not feel the need to wear make up? Please note, this is NOT a criticism of people who do wear make up. 4. I do not see how the position of her ears matter, and I hate to be rude but honestly that post really upset me - she finally seems content, but now her frickin EARS aren't good enough??? Honestly, I could go on and on. But thank you guys so much for these posts.
  18. MARINA IS RETURNING TO THE UK IN AUTUMN https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx_6xCAhwIx/ I AM SO HYPED, I NEED TO CALM MYSELF DOWN IN CASE I DON'T EVEN GET TICKETS
  19. Mow That Lawn - Charli XCX Reminds me of the time I played it to my mum and she was horrified but it's one of my fave Charli songs, it makes me feel like a badass Next letter - B
  20. Oh god I hope she's okay... I guess it just says run by Marina HQ because she said she was taking a break from social media, but I wonder why she is no longer following anyone. Maybe she is trying to distance herself from social media, which isn't necessarily a negative thing?
  21. 10! Stream We Appreciate Power!
