"Lana Del Ray WILL perform at Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's wedding"
LANA DEL RAYYYYYY   
 
 

Only seventeen, but she walks the streets so mean

National Anthem also deserves more views!

National Anthem also deserves more views!

It was released in my country Lebanon and it's doing great on the radio!

National Anthem also deserves more views!

My favourite lines of Radio are: "No one even knows how hard life was, I don't even think about it now because..." Do you think they refer to the trailer park years and Lana struggling as a singer?

Amazing performance, thanks a lot for sharing it, it's the first time I see it... :/

HELLO YES I AM HERE WHAT IS UP? I AM DOWN FOR THIS THREAD.
 
Radio. What a tune. I did a whole paragraph on it in a different thread not sure if I should repost though?
 
I love the jazz cafe performance, but like sitar The Scala Club one has a special place in my heart so i'm gonna link that too
 

 
I like how she sometimes goes a little high on the "i finally found you" when she sings it live, it's such a sweet little touch.
 
Also something I've noticed is lyric changes through live performances. The BtD line is "baby love me cause i'm playing on the radio" but in live performances she tends to change it to "(my) baby loves me cause i'm playing on the radio." It's subtle but I think about it a lot. In the BtD version it kind of implies she's asking to be loved because she's finally famous, it's a little bit of a tease too. However the latter suggests she's only loved because of her fame which is a completely different emotion. I dunno why she does it or if there's any reason to it, but I find it interesting none the less.
 
Let's talk about the demo though. (i'd link that too but the youtube version is pitched up horribly, what's a girl to do?)
 
It has such a full sound to it and while i love the almost isolated sound her vocals have in the BtD version, the vocal layering all throughout this version are superb. This is like slow, sad electropop that i'd dance to in a club at 6am while the sun is about to rise and that just sounds sooo cooool. What I love about this demo generally is that in its most pure form it's a pop song, but for me at least, there's this real understated sadness to it, you know? Tbh I think this song would've done well on Paradise, thematically () at least. All these illusions to death, being reborn and paradise.
 
in conclusions, i like sad things that I get to overanalyse.

This guy's instrumental remake is almost spot on. It sounds great!
 

Don't shade a song that has Miss Britney on it.

I actually rather enjoyed reading this.  
Don't you want to write about Scream and Shout too?

Okay so Harlem Shake is literally 30 seconds of music repeated six times. I should have a glass of water right now. 
 
I realized that i once tried to listen to Call Me Maybe and i turned it off after the first chorus, which is rare for me because i almost always make it a point to sit through everything no matter how much i can't tolerate it. I got through it this time. This sounds like music that would be in an Old Navy commercial for pants or, like, an edgy shampoo commercial. What is going on? I wonder if the producer(s) told her to smile while singing. What is she doing? 
 
I am contributing to Vevo views like a good consumer. Now on to Baby by Justin Bieber. He looks like a hot lesbian. Am i supposed to think this? God, his pronunciation and inflection is gross, ugh. Is this kid going to hate his life in a few years? Why are they at a bowling alley? Why is Ludacris there? What am i doing? I don't have anything to say about this song, it feels like i'm staring at a white wall and someone is asking me to describe it. I think i'd rather listen to this than Call Me Maybe. Man, that fade is smooooth. Oh, he got the girl at the end and he did a cool handshake with Luda. Alright Biebz. 
 
No one is reading this, i'm about to start confessing some dark, vile secrets. 
 
Okay, on to Kiss You by One Direction (it's the first song that comes up when you start typing One Direction on youtube so i went with that one). I surprised you, didn't i? Pulled this one out of left field. I wasn't prepared for this. This sounds like an SNL sketch. Fuck, this one is easily the worst of the night. This is suicide. What if this was the only song you could listen to for the rest of your life? Wait, why is the song quoting 99 Luftballoons? I have to admit that i'm laughing a lot listening to/watching this. Why is this SO LOUD? And why do they have to sing LIKE THAT, ugh. Imagine one of these doofuses kissing you. There is no way that i will ever listen to this piece of shit again. 
 
I'm sorry for wasting everyone's time. What was the point of this thread again? 

So i heard (and watched) Gangnam Style, you guys. Uhm. I don't really have thoughts, my mind was kind of blank as i watched it. I think this is just too easy. It seems like the song is a sensation just because of the novelty of the video, that it's just a case of laughing at the Other-- ha ha ha look at this culture, that funny looking Asian man is doing things we don't expect him to be doing LOL. The song also just sucks, as was aptly noted by Limelight. Anyway, it turns out i am not that late at all, it's not even a year old, i thought it was like two years old, wtf is wrong with my concept of time. 
 
I'm going to listen to Harlem Shake now. Oh, and i'm also going to listen to Call Me Maybe. This thread has been inspiring done something to my mind.
 
I've never heard a Justin Bieber song so i might do that too...
 
After that i may or may not kill myself. Or do my laundry. Thanks for listening to the tales of my mundane existence in which i live under a cozy rock.

7.) Marina and the Diamonds – “Primadonna”



Ah, the sick, soulless world of Electra Heart: Teaming up with pop’s most powerful production team (Dr. Luke & Cirkut), Welsh singer-songwriter Marina & The Diamonds carved out a brilliant first taste from her concept-heavy sophomore record: “Primadonna,” a searing slice of sarcasm-laden lavishness. Twirling her way across a synthesized pulse and a shimmering anti-chorus (a la Britney‘s 2011 smash “Hold It Against Me”), our dastardly antiheroine demands nothing less than a life of glitz and glamour, all revolving around the most perfect, tongue-in-cheek pop zinger of the year: “All I ever wanted was the world.”

It isn't: http://www.ticketcorner.ch/lana-del-rey-Tickets-geneve.html?affiliate=TCS&doc=artistPages%2Ftickets&fun=artist&action=tickets&key=859496%242489729&jumpIn=yTix&kuid=474678&from=erdetaila

They should've just made a shortened version of it because I can stand 5 minutes of a song, but not 5 minutes of a slow-as-fuck song. It's a rare when I can actually listen to Yayo in it's entirety.

I was actually thinking the same thing about Yayo today. I've started to skip it because I just can't be bothered to listen to it anymore purely because of it's length!

You're none of the first three things.

you have to mouth the words. bonus points if you do the hand actions.
