BABY I'M A GANGSTA TOO AND IT TAKES 2 TO TANGOOOOOOO 

Some of these nasty reviews are making me so sad. To me, Lana is a star akin to older generations—when musicians didn’t spend months training, both physically and vocally, for a show or tour, but showed up as they were, just to sing, without all of the fanfare. I absolutely appreciate spectacles like the Eras tour and Beychella, etc., those are masterful feats of artistry and intense preparation, but I just don’t feel like that’s what Lana’s after. Obviously I don’t know her personally, but to me, she’s more of a songwriter and poet who probably prefers a normal, delicate, relaxed existence (exemplified by her appearing at random garden stores and coffee shops along the California coast). I think she probably still battles stage fright, and I’m really amazed and proud that she signed up to do these two shows. After writing music so different from—and changing the sound of—the industry over the past 10 years+, it’s really cool to see her finally get her flowers as the headliner and do it in her own way. Maybe a massive arena-style stage isn’t the kindest venue for her talents and unique energy, but she did it in her own way, with heart and absolute style. I’m proud to be a fan and it’s not surprising to see these reviews (ahem, Guardian) revert to their 2014 tone. 

Nectar Of The Gods always had and always will have a special place in my heart  and it kinda hurts me to see it is one of the least streamed songs on the album But having it on streaming services and on vinyl is still a win even if it's a YouTube rip

one of my all time fav lana songs tbh, the longing is so palpable

I’m so sick of her team overhyping her 
 
After yesterday I refuse to be Delulu and assume the ‘more things to come’ is another identical show next week 

we don’t want khelani anyway she’s probably went back to hating Lana to please her fanbase. after all she was only hating on her 2 months ago 

cus they'll announce it on weekd 2

The way I’ve done a full 180 on this performance. It was disappointing last night but it is actually quite iconic. She looked gorgeous, the hologram was weird but cool, the Billie moment was sweet, and the motorcycle entrance and exit was ICONIC
 
If she can get the microphone together and be more confident vocally for next weekend it will be a smash
 
And while I think Dolce is problematic, seeing her performing in a custom designer garment (for like the first time ever) was so amazing

manifesting her mic working so she can actually sing. She tried so hard week 1, but everytime she put any kind of power behind her voice the mic fucks up.

I don't have an issue with the setlist. Her team made a mistake of overhyping the show as something really different when it wasn't, but other than that I think it's a beautiful setlist and the show last night had all the right things in place to be one of her best.
 
I really think the sound issues are to blame for the show feeling underwhelming at times. The mic being bad I think really got her in her head and she wasn't able to deliver the vocals she's capable of. You could see visibly on her face throughout the show that it was upsetting her which made it hard for her to let loose and get fully comfortable on the stage. It's really frustrating because her vocals really did seem amazing, they just weren't coming through properly and then she was holding herself back as a result.

Coachella better get their shit together for next weekend because issues like that are really unacceptable for a show of this scale.

There's something so unprofessional about a festival of this magnitude having mic/sound issues on their main stage, let alone having sound issues at all.
