oh you fucking fool - first of all, you aren't going to find anyone mainstream who hasn't been autotuned. some make it more obvious than others or purposely put it up, but programs like melodyne are always used. otherwise people like you would be commenting 'omg her voice was slightly slightly off there'. secondly, have you seen her live performances? the girl can fucking sing. her voice is not created via autotune. and lastly - i can take some stupid lyrics of lana's out of contex as well and compare it to something really touching kesha wrote. wanna compare Betty Boop Boop to Kesha's Harold? not to mention that blah blah blah was in no way attempting to be anything like what cruel world is. that's like comparing Rihanna's Only Girl in The World to Leonard's Chelsea Hotel n.2. One is extremely different than the other but that doesn't mean one is better than the other. they are both strong songs in their own right. you wishing that all music can be lumped into one category and compared by the same means is so foolish.

Omg, I laughed my ass off at this translation. Thank you so much for sharing

Swan song sounds like a beautiful song. Can't wait for the chorus :
 
"Swaaaaaaaaan song, aaaaaaah
Swan song, ooooooh Ahhhhh oh
Swaaaaaaaan sooooOOOng ah
SwaaaAAaAn song
Ahhhhh ahh ahhhh ah Ahhhhh ah...
Ooooooh
Swan song"

Obvious much

The difference is-
The record people now say, Get me or find me a Lana Del Rey type but make her commercial (or in the Sam Smith case make him more commercial)
Then make sure the new people or the remolded older people namecheck Lana until it hits, then ignore her afterward
So Lana Del Rey became the new prototype
 
Just like Madonna was after Madonna, get me a new younger Madonna soundalike dress alike without Madonna baggage so to say
 
and having worked country music in the 80s/90s it happened there when the "New country" came in.
It wasn't that the sounds of the prior to 1989 superstars were no longer wanted (except for a little musical background updating)
They wanted a young new Waylon Jennings and George Jones and Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette
who then namedropped George Jones and Johnny Cash
 
and then George Strait and Garth Brooks came in
and the record people said Get me a new Strait and a new Brooks and drop check their names and 100 hat acts came along saying they grew up on Waylon and George Strait
Or get me 100 more Shania Twain after she came out
 
So now you have many more commercial Lana's out there, all get more radio airplay, and all are faceless and will disappear soon as the radio people want something else
 
Which leaves Lana being Lana.
As someone asked before NO I don't want nor need a stage show where it is obviously like Britney or the others lipsynched because no one can do acrobatics and sing that way.
 
I just want the singer to sit or stand and sing the songs that drove me to go out of my way, spend money to buy the cds and vinyl and download and concert tickets at full price
as often as possible and don't need a million costume changes. I didn't come for the clothes anymore then anyone on stage came to look at me.
 
Yes, I will still be there if she was no longer young and beautiful . And yes I will run run run to the appropriate places to download and purchase the vinyl/cd
and come come come to the concerts and listen or sing along even if it means driving 6 hours to Virginia or 4 hours to Boston or spending an entire day on Randall's Island in NY
to see a 915 performance. I would not be going there if she were not performing. Note to Florence or Marina fans, I am not going Friday or Saturday with them performing.
Kudos to their fans for doing such.
 
Kudos to every artist who is singing. But in music history there are only a handful of unique people and in the 2000-2020 days two of those are Lana and Gaga.
With a few more.
 
Hope she sings a new Honeymoon song at Governor's ball, but I won't be disappointed if she doesn't. Would want a full band performance of it and not a snippet without the band.
But I understand there are logistics and rights and all that.
And I look forward for each chapter of the long running book that is Lana.  (and if there are those that don't like what I said, there is the ignore button)

Thank God I thought I was the only one not being able to see how 1989 was 'copying' Lana besides Wildest Dreams. (Now that I think of it, I'd find it oddly entertaining seeing Lana perform songs like Shake It Off and All You Had To Was Stay all positive and happy and jumping around the stage, it'd be the best thing to be honest )

Am I the only one who's HAPPY about that? I know she said August but I was so pessimistic about it that I didn't expect anything before 2016

Yesterday I was in a JCPenney and Famous came on and I was really surprised.
 
Another random comment: whenever You're the One comes on in shuffle the beginning ALWAYS takes me to another place. Like idk but the beginning always seems to get me hyped/pumped af
 
And as for my trinity of Sucker songs: I haven't listened to Sucker in months but based off memory Hanging Around, and idk maybe Doing It (without Rita Ora obv) and Gold Coins. Perhaps Famous instead of Doing it or Gold Coins. It really just depends on my mood.

It's a SPECULATION thread ... people who are whining about how messy it is all the time are the worst ones.

Are the guys in the video shirtless or nah? Basically, it all comes down to this
