That does makes me sad, cause people are in her shows just to worship her image, not to listen to the songs...

When Lolita plays at the show, the fans go 

"My pussy tastes like Pepsi Cola "
"Lick me up and take me like vitamin 'Cause my body's sweet like sugar venom "
"La, love, lick you like vanilla ice"

you shouldn't bother quoting graham. he is very special.

question to the once again downer people-
 
How does YOUR individual needs change or not change by Lana doing or not doing promo?
 
After all, you are a supporter already, correct?? (some of course here may not be, judging from some posts all the time), but if one is a supporter
already, why do you need her to do promo?

Promo is for what? And who pays for the promo? It ain't free. And it is costly in time. (at end of the day, the artist pays one way or another for every cost
involved, be it front end or back end. Lana is one of the most profitable, and the record company makes the most profits from Lana under the deal as it stands. If she did everything like any other artist, seems to me she loses the uniqueness that makes her, well, unique.
 
thought 2-
 
Here's a thought- as someone (me) who has seen more than a  dozen plus shows and counting, and is always near the front (in the pit or the VIP area) at each
one, though I don't rush the barricade and have no real desire to be in the very front row of the pit), I have a suggestion if you wish Lana to do
more concerts-
that is SHUT UP and let her sing, and don't scream along with her, which makes it impossible for those in the further back sections to hear the words.
One needs to remember- many people at shows are not necessarily big fans (especially in festivals), and their enjoyment or not, is not in hearing
a bunch of first row singers, but in hearing her sing and hearing the words.
 
I appreciate European audiences that tend to be less noisy (in some places remain absolutely silent).
 
Because if she is only playing to the people squished up front, then why bother having the rest of the audience if they can't hear her?
And not every song is one that needs singalongs. (example- YAYO- only she can sing the song, no, the karaoke's don't sound good. I don't pay big money to see anyone but her sing it.)
 
 
3rd point- if Love doesn't do as well as one wanted it to, blame the leakers (YOU) for making her release it sooner than wanted.
Perhaps grow up and have a little patience and not sabotage her.
 
 
rant over.

so you want her to give up all she's worked hard for and to leave a major label (millions of people dream of being signed to a label like interscope, even lana) to just please a minority of fans who want her to perform a concert from her room live on instagram? you're crazy
 
lana will definitely always try to be signed to major label cause thats the reason she has like 5 mansions, sports cars, a horse plant statue that cost thousands of dollars, etc.
 
also if the performances and videos are put on her VEVO page, she gets paid. artists and labels don't make music videos for no reason. youtube pays creators who get millions of views. why do you think artists like Katy Perry and Taylor Swift keep making huge videos on youtube? because they get a crap ton of views and that mean they get a crap ton of money

Ok, so you want 240p Laptop videos of her singing acapella snippets into her webcam while wearing her pajamas and posing around awkwardly instead of some high quality recordings with good sound of her performing wonderful live variations of her tracks while looking gorgeous.
Big budget projects don't mean you have to sell out or do generic music. Delivering quality content (apart from the music itself) is not something artists should be ashamed of. And of course, quality content does not need to be big budget if you do it right. But Lana's way of low budget projects end up being pretty meh recently and often seemed lazy, and it would be a nice change to actually get something bigger again.

It's so funny how promo is always seen out of an commercial point of view. Promo always means goodies for the fans.
 
I love HQ recordings of performances. Imagine having a recording of her doing West Coast or Honeymoon on Letterman.
 
Those trashy LQ social media things are ok for Instagram, but they should not be all she does for "promo".
Not just because it's not reaching anyone but because some "cute little videos" are not quality content, even though some people on here will lose their minds over every little thing she does.

Btw, i dont think she needs to be mainstream.
 
But if she doesnt prove to her record label that she is a strong act and capable of surviving in the music "market", she'll get dropped out ASAP. Thats how things work.
 
A contract with a music label is hard to get and hard to maintain

At least I don't listen to any of those acts you named there.
 
It doesn't matter anyway what we are saying or wishing in this forum – Lana will do what she wants to do, if we like it or not. You can't force her doing promo stuff. It can get frustrating, f.ex. that she doesn't do a proper European tour (no festivals please!).

why are some of y'all so against tv performances? its what a mainstream artist/singer does! if you're a singer and you're signed to a major label, its common sense to perform on tv. if lana wasn't supposed to perform on tv then she would've signed with an indie label instead of interscope.
 
and y'all want everything to be so intimate! y'all want everything to be cheap and just her sitting in front of her laptop singing to us. gurl this isn't 2010, lana is better known now. this is an artist who signed to a major label not an artist signed to an indie label with like 100 fans who performs in small venues. this woman now performs in amphitheaters!
 
some of y'all just don't want lana to reach her full potential and its annoying

well, we had the witch thing going on for pages, too 

queen of green tones
going to get ripe when BAR is released

especially for fans who dont even live nearby any where she will possibly tour / headline the festivals
a great HD recorded performance means a lot to them

Btw, i dont think she needs to be mainstream.

And she doesn't have to. Most of you ppl live in a bubble if you think that only crap gets played. 
Dude, this is not what it is about, don't you see? This is not about me or other Lana stans who want her to succeed. This is about the artist Lana Del Rey who is awesome and who needs more exposure to showcase her talent and be recognized as one of the best pop arists right now.
 
This is about her.

They are talking about chart sales cause, if she got a hit with Love, the record label will*** be literally forced to promote the CD way better. And she can get more money, since the song is boosting eveywhere, to do a more developed project for LDR6 and in larger scale.
 
She did 2 singles on the last album because it was a flop. It didnt sellout like Born To Die. 

then why do they ALWAYS complain when charts and exposure gets brought up? Saying something like: "Ahhh, I rather want Lana for myself". This is not how it works.

She had several hits across the globe during the BTD era. Including one No.1 single and another Top5 single in Germany. Both platinum. and it is one the world's biggest markets
She also has 5 certified singles in the UK and three in the US,
 
Your post makes no sense

THANK YOU!
 
Sometimes I think that there is quite an amount of ppl in the Lana base who don't want her to succeed, who don't want her to get the recognition she DESERVES and who don't want to see her performing and rather listen to folks like Selena Gomez, Halsey and Justin Bieber on the radio instead of Lana Del Rey.
 
NO OTHER fanbase is like that. That is so shameful and disrespectful towards Lana
