Yes she was mistreated. Her performance on SNL was completely blown out of proportion. Yes we all agree it wasn't her best performance and many people felt that she was unfairly given the opportunity as only the second artist to be on SNL without having a recored released. Just bad timing. More people are watching SNL in January and because Harry Potter was the host it was a high-profile show.
 
She does get unfairly criticized because she got some help from her father, but parents do stuff like that for their kids all the time. Sure she came from some money, but there are lots of parents who bankroll athletic careers. Look at the parents of tennis players, and gymnasts and ice skaters. They don't get criticized and some of them come from money.
 
Lana is not a crybaby. If she's having more success in Europe now then that is where you go. I suspect she'll go to Asia as well. I don't think she hates America. Far from it. Being an American is what sells her in Europe.
 
America is the country of second chances. If Britney Spears can be get a second chance then Lana can also. Her music is good and she is a good person. She would easily sell out a smaller/club venue tour in the US. She sold over 500,000 records in the US. Lana may never be a top 40 radio phenom, but she can sell millions of records in the US during a career.
 
I really wish she would tour the US. I think she would see that thousands of us across the country would come to see her and she would have a successful tour. We don't expect her to sell out Joe Louis Arena or Madison Square Garden, but she would sell out small to medium-sized venues.

I'm not privy to all the facts, of course (and I don't necessarily remember all the facts that have been made public), and so most of what I could say is speculation on my part. I do think the media's initial response to Lana in the U.S. was uncalled for. But I don't think it's what inspired her to break identification with America -- more of a straw that broke the camel's back, I suspect.
 
The world can be a tough place for those who are sensitive and/or creative and/or intellectual, and Lana apparently is all three. Add to that an increasingly anti-intellectual bias in American society, and rumors that it is not as bad in Europe and elsewhere... it becomes tempting to some to explore other options. (I have felt that temptation myself.) Particularly if she has spent any time in the southern states... let's just say that females who don't take steps to hide their intelligence can feel like outcasts way before it occurs to them to journey elsewhere.
 
So who is doing the rejecting? Some would say Lana, for criticizing aspects of America. But does criticism equal rejection? (I know many people who would say yes. Actually, I know several people who would say that "critical thinking" is overly negative, that "making an argument" is divisive, and that "problem-naming" as a first step to problem-solving is being a troublemaker. But I digress. Or do I...?) Perhaps Lana sees the situation as HER being the one who has been rejected.
 
But last time I checked, she did have a few dates planned in New York and California, at least. So it's not like she's writing off the U.S. completely. I'm sure she knows she has fans here who love her. But if she's already nervous about performing live, and already feeling misunderstood/slandered/rejected in America, should she necessarily take the step of willingly combining them? Maybe she feels like she's already putting herself through what she's prepared to take on.
 
None of this necessarily adds up to a grudge against the U.S. as a whole, imo. I see her criticisms as valid points, from which Americans could learn something... or not.

Sure it does. Some people willingly live under a pop culture rock, they don't want to know about Lana.

SimCity and The Sims are just so different! The Sims seems to be more like a family insight, while with SimCity you control the city from above (that's a simple explanation but that's how I'd describe both games  ).

This is just so amazing and funny! I am new here but I already love all of you, including you, Ata! 

Looks good, like a drawing made from a Disney Movie.

I tried it there because the price is good but they charged so many taxes to ship it to my country, I don't know why. I've bought stuff from Amazon for over three years and it's never happened before.
 
Edit: I managed to get a cheap vinyl from eBay. Can't wait for it to arrive! 

Amazing interview! 
 
Ata... 

 
 
This GIF is everything, by the way:
 

I love "Prom Song (Gone Wrong)," "Queen of the Gas Station" and how you worked on "Kinda Outta Luck," it's sort of cartoonish!

I love the second one! You're a good drawer!

Wow, I love it so much. Keep up the good work! 

I wonder if we will ever be able to listen to it in full. It sounds good, but honestly I think it's a bit overrated. She has unreleased songs that are just so much better.
 
I guess we can't judge the full for its snippet though.

I love the second one! You're a good drawer!

The lipstick color kind of bothers me but besides that I love it, there are stunning pictures on this shoot.

It makes me happy that she keeps selling dozens of thousands of albums every week worldwide! The album really deserves it. 

Coincidently there is a Billboard Magazine with Adele on the cover that has a Lana article too, it got me confused. Thank you for sharing the interview!

Fulfilled!
