Wish I was a fan at that time. I only became a fan after video games, never heard of her before that. Out of interest, how did you stumble upon her music pre BTD?

It's a common side-effect when an artist hits the big time. Always cherish the time you are a fan of a singer before they become too famous.

@ can you please tell me the music vid in your signature

Why are fans deciding what Lana's next album is going to sound like? Let's just wait for the finished product.

I actually think Lana's fan base has grown considerably over the last year despite UV not bringing the same success as BTD. She's become such a huge cult figure in a short space of time. It's so weird, there really is no correlation between how well her music sells and how popular she becomes, I don't know many other artists where this has happened.

Wow good thread topic! I love the edgy rocker Lana but I think my heart belongs to 50s babydoll Lana.

For me, the hooks weren't as good lyrically, they were repetitive. I see what you are saying about the verses though. I just preferred the overall sound of BTD and the Paradise Edition over the sound of UV, and would welcome Lana to go back to that sound with Honeymoon.

Can you elaborate?

You can tell me to clean my ears but my problem with UV was that all the songs sounded the same and their was too much lyric repetition ie "Ultraviolence, ultravioleeeennncccee, ultraviolence, ultravioleeeennncccee" "I'm pretty when I cry, I'm pretty when I cryyyyyyy, I'm pretty when I cry, I'm pretty when I cryyyyy" "Is this happiness, is the happpiiinneess, is this happiness, is this happiiinnnesss" There was much more variation with BTD and I'm not an overly huge fan of the acoustic grainy vocals on UV either. Can't wait for Honeymoon

I can't believe this. No AFFA? That song is a stomper, what a shame it's been left off the album.

Probably gonna get hung, drawn and quartered for this but Lana looks a bit like Amanda Knox here.

When I feel almost suicidal I enjoy revelling in songs like Born To Die and Gods and Monsters. I love to fall asleep to Summertime Sadness. I also enjoy listening to AFFA whilst walking the streets at night.

They werent looking overly big when I met her in May. On another note - she most definately has a nose-job nose.

What I love about Lana is the amount of high street clothes she incorporates into her style - there's plenty of Topshop and H&M in her wardrobe. Her white "Ride" dress is a Topshop one and can be found on eBay from time to time.

Ah thanks for that. Not to demean the talents of her makeup artist, but I didn't think her makeup looked very polished, which was why I thought she maybe did her own.

Just out of interest. Anyone if Lana did her own makeup for her shows?

I want to tell people on here about two very different experiences I had with meeting Lana and meeting Katy Perry and it is to do with how they look. I met Katy in '11 at her California Dreams tour as I won a meet n' greet. I found Katy very intimidating. As lovely as Katy was, she must've had 10 different types of foundation on her face and 20 sets of false eyelashes on her eyes. I have seen drag queens wear less makeup than Katy. I never proudly show off my photo with Katy as I look at it and feel hideous next to this girl who looks like a living doll. Met Lana two days ago and she is a beautiful looking woman. But how refreshing to see a celebrity who is happy to pose for photos with no qualms about not having a full face of make-up on. If you zoom in to the photo I think we can agree that it is me, who actually has more makeup on than Lana! I love her warm smile in this photo. I proudly show off my photo with Lana, and as beautiful as she is, I don't feel like a monster next to her as I did next to Katy. So I kinda agree with the two main arguers in this thread. Yes Foolish, Lana is a celebrity at the end of the day and should turn up more polished looking at events like the Brits. And Crystal Castles, you are right too, don't see why she should be like Joan Collins and get dolled up to get a pint of milk from a shop.

Yeah I am on my own. So take it she didnt do a sound check?

You are soooo lucky! Wow so do you reccomend running behind the venue to catch her? Btw what time did she arrive?

£40 for a printed tshirt is daylight robbery. I would rather get a Lana tshirt on eBay for £5.
