Wow some members reaaaaally need to learn to add "In my opinion" to each of their sentences. It's amazing how some feel entitled to ... Well... No one quite knows what.
 
There are OTHER types of attendants at a concert: hardcore fans who know every (un)released songs, casual listeners and people who never really paid attention to her. So it's up to her to balance it out and try to please everyone.
 
Now if SHE prefers to sing more BTD songs than you like and that upsets you because you spend your days trying to bash this album, welp: build a bridge and get over it.
 
OR get rich real quick and ask for a private concert where you can chose your own setlists but until then...

GURL IM JUST JUMPING TO THE EXACT SAME CONCLUSIONS UR MAKING ABOUT LANA.. just because she is a "celebrity" doesn't make ur theoretical (and kinda rude imo) criticisms anymore accurate than my assumption about ur job... 
 
Honestly we don't know that much about her personal life.. but i'd say its p clear she does have anxiety issues, on top of that in 2014 she basically admitted she was so done with life at the time that she wouldn't mind dying.. and then the media hopped on her ass about it and criticized her to hell for it, instead of taking a decent and basic human approach and being supportive.. people like you lose sight of the fact that she's just a normal lady, who sings and makes music. 
 
Also her being lukewarm and her music sucking is  simply your opinion.. and gurl she's still more successful than u..   i find her a good amount more exciting than you(obviously).. but from a standpoint that really doesn't take into account her personal issues, her past, and her like 10 years of previous work.. yea she is being kinda low-key and disappointing 
 
but if you take into account that there could be lots of other stuff going on behind the scenes, you calling her an unprofessional diva, is honestly kind of rude. ..she is a usual person.. she makes that SO CLEAR, and you hold her to a much higher standard and act like for some reason she should actually adhere to it? 
 
i honestly think that a lot of the btd excitement was because she sort of had to do it bc of her label, plus at the time she may have been in a much better mental state and may have felt a lot more passion for her career. 

i feel like she's made it pretty clear tho that she doesn't want to be a superstar type.. no matter how popular she is .. she obviously doesn't have to be held to any standards except her own..  honestly i feel like you don't take into consideration the huge amount of work she's already done to get to where she is.. in my opinion she probably felt like she was at her pinnacle during the btd/p era.. and now she's sort of just relaxing on basically what could be considered a career honeymoon. She does her work, makes music (which i think at this point is really what she enjoys and cares about), she goes out and does some promo and then some concerts. 
honestly what the fuck do u do?  prolly work some part time job and come home to whack off to scat p*rn and then bitch about how you don't think lana is taking her ICONIC career seriously..  hunty She's been working on this music thing for like basically 10 years at this point.. she's been thru having HUNDREDS of her songs leak (honestly must have been devastating) and LOTS of criticism from the media (which obviously still impacts her today imo considering she made a video like hbtb i think she obviously still thinks about it)  she's worked her lil ass off to get this far DESPITE all of that.plus maybe she didn't even want to be as big of an artist, but was basically pushed into it by her label at first..     leave the lady alone.. she has every right to do what she wants with her career and if thats barely anything then thats fine. 
 
 
 to be fair, I totally understand from a fan aspect, that her being sort of low-key about her career is somewhat disappointing.. but honestly don't lose sight of the fact that she is just a usual person..i honestly don't believe that simply because someone has a successful music career they should be held to an ultra high standard.. you have to take into account she's already done a lot of music work from the beginning of her career untill now.. on top of that she has a personal life and all this other shit too.. let ha live

But Lana has never been the type of performer that amazes people on stage. For that you need to go to a Florence Welch concert. She sings and stands around, just like Adele. 
I don't see anything wrong with her re-wearing the same clothes.
 
The songs set list need to be arranged differently and add some new songs. That I agree with. I'm still shocked about her doing pre-recorded instrumentals of High By The Beach. She has a good band and I'm sure they must have had enough time to figure out how to do a band version of HBTB.
 
She plays piano and guitar, so why not play a little piano or guitar on stage? She use to before. That would give her performance a little change.

thats funny bc when i realized she was doing it i was SHOOK  lolita was and always will be a bop and I'm glad she's acknowledging its existence for once since 2012

I'm honestly amazed that so many people here talk so much trash about Lana to be "fans" of hers. I get that she's not perfect, and it's totally okay to critique her, but a lot of you all seem to take this authoritative tone with it. @@Flipflopfan, I'm sorry, but your post really rubbed me the wrong way for those reasons-- why can't everyone be thankful she's performing, instead of being petty and saying she has "no excuses"-- uh, I think she has a perfectly good excuse, and it's that SHE'S the artist and WE'RE the fans-- it's her show, and I don't think she needs us to tell her what she's doing wrong.
 
Critique her, express your disappointments, but don't be a jerk about it. Remember that she's an artist, and instead of always assuming that she's lazy or giving up, perhaps think that maybe this is just what she WANTS to do right now. Only Lana understands her own motivations and choices, and perhaps we all need to take a step back and remember that. 
 
 

I'm going to disagree with this, at any of the festivals I've been to -- generally artists either A. perform the setlist from their most recent or current tour (which she mostly did) or B. play their greatest hits if they're a legacy act
 
That would be like going to a GNR show and only wanting to hear all of Chinese Democracy with like 3 hits sandwiched in there
 
Either way, she has said she makes the music for herself and so she's doing the songs she wants to do

sorry but cola isn't even that good & it's definitely had its day, she sings it live all the damn time
Because it's literally the same setlist she performed at the endless summer tour + 3 HM songs...... good sis needs to let BTD/Paradise go 

another btd video
 
her vocals were really meh in this one. since there are only few videos on YouTube we'll have to wait to see more of the set.

interesting...

for those of you who want links...
 
small clips from some songs (mostly all th clips from twitter)  check 1:10 to hear THE Amazing Note she hit on Video Game today, wow, she outdid herself here
 
more small clips 
 
High By The Beach + Freak (both on full)  (the bridge from Freak was the best + I agree with the other member, it sounded like witchcraft stuff was happening at the end of Freak, I loved ittt)
 
Freak live on full  (cutted from the HBTB + Freak video, lower audio quality
 
Excerpt from Born To Die ("you know this one, don't you?" this is the answer to everyone complaining about she doing too many songs from BTD, she's doing them because those are the ones the gp knows) Check this video of Die Antwoord playing after Lana, everyone's in to their show, even Lana fans! the thing is, Lana's music it's not the most hyped thing ever and they're not bops, she needs to entertain the crowd and you can't spect that the people that attend festivals are die hard lana stans, they don't listen to her new stuff, Lana's known for BTD so it's obvious she has to play the songs the crowd, if this was a propert tour with proper shows things would be at least a little more different...
 
The amazing performance of Blue Jeans just hear the whole thing, every long note she needed to do live, she did, it's perfect.
Other video for Blue Jeans (better quality cutted before the end of the bridge)
 
more small clips from some songs  (ten seconds of Lolita at the end) (mostly twitter videos)

Liar starts off so good but the chorus makes it sound like an Eurovision song from 2005

For the love of God Lana WASH OFF YOUR MAKEUP, IT'S SO BAD TO SLEEP IN

i would so take this as the album cover rather than the official one!

At least she looked FLAWLESS

I LOVE THEM

What's good is that it's not an obvious choice, as most pop albums these days have 3-4 tracks that stand out. There's literally such a huge selection of bops from this album... only a queen 
 
I'd honestly be good with any of those choices. I think Slumber Party is catchy enough to be a radio hit. Just Luv Me is so different for Brit but production-wise it's really modern and I think it would do surprisingly well. DYWCO is obvious classic Britney. LMD feels like a good single choice, but idk... I almost feel like it wouldn't do as well as the others for some reason. Like I feel like it's too expected almost? I could totally be wrong tho, that song deserves to smash tbh

I wonder why there's such a lack of good photos -
 

I have a 12 hours schedule tomorrow (by that i mean less than 5 hours later) and I feel as if I'm wasting my energy on just refreshing all the tabs (it's almost 3 am)
I'll try to post after the show hours later if nothing worth staying happens within the next 19 mins
