haha it's just too funny maybe Cheryl has her million dollar smile today because of the dentist your mom worked at

ok... so @ could you please send me the zip as well if you find some time ? thanks

she looked pretty fresh and young and the dress is lovely

I love Rihanna. I know her albums are a mess but you can always find good songs on them and also her voice got SO much stronger live. That collaboration with Shakira will be hoooot.

Bad Tattoo is a nice pop song but honestly I like the music video better than the song I think I have to check out more Lola music.. @@National Anthem could you please send me the zip as well ?

I love the music on Bangerz but Miley is so much better when she sings acoustic songs... the Backyard Sessions or You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go are incredibly good for example

I wanna go there but I'm not living in the USA #PrayingForAUltraviolenceWorldTour

she sounds so much better without all that loud production. Katy has such a great voice but she can't show it that often.

great discovery ! I really like their sound.

Lana is not a person who aims for success, so why should she start singing Guetta/Avicii dance songs that she doesn't even like

Lana says she's the queen of almost everything but she forgot to mention one thing

Ok yes, it's never good when artists sing songs that are absolutely not them but someone else !

When I bought BTD just a few days after it had been released, I already knew VG and BTD because of the radio, so OTTR was the first song that I didn't knew when I listened to the album and I immediately knew that it was a fantastic decision to buy BTD ! I was fascinated by the unique, poetic and beautiful lyrics and the way her voice changed again and again during the song. I really love that glamour gangster feeling the song has. Imo OTTR represents Lana's image at the beginning of her "real" career (end of 2011). She called herself a "Gangster Nancy Sinatra" and I totally feel this in lines like " Likes to watch me in the glass room bathroom, Chateau Marmont, slippin' on my red dress, puttin' on my makeup, glass film, perfume, cognac, lilac fumes" or "My old man is a thief and I'm gonna stay and pray with him 'til the end". The interview @@SitarHero posted helps a lot with the Lanalysis. If we can trust her words ( ), OTTR describes the lifestyle she used to have when she was with that man, that means they lived in LA and moved to Vegas because he liked to gamble. Lana wasn't talented and that's why she just went swimming all the time. This would even match the lyrics "Swimming pool glimmering darling, white bikini off with my red nail polish, watch me in the swimming pool bright blue ripples you". Swimming pools seem to play a big role in OTTR and as she spent most of her time swimming in Vegas, we have an explanation for that. So I think, the basic idea of the song is definitely true but I'm almost sure that Lana added many gangster details to the lyrics. Looking at Barrie I can't imagine that Lana once dated a guy with a "gold chain on" but who knows, maybe her taste for men changed . Right now I'm actually wondering about something that I never really realized. I know that alcohol is mentioned sometimes on BTD in songs like Carmen and This Is What Makes Us Girls and these deal with her teenage years. Lana says she stopped drinking when she was about 18. In OTTR it seems like her man is drinking ("black Cristal", "cognac") but maybe she does too ("Bacardi chasers") ? Also she is talking about "Riker's Island", so like already mentioned in the Lanalysis thread she could be talking about K and her younger years (she mentions Coney Island which is also used in Carmen for example, a song that probably describes her lifestyle when she was about 17). When I look at her writing style, I would say that it was written with the rest of the BTD album, which means that it isn't old. And of course she can still write a song about K today but.... We assume that she dated him before the Sirens album, so she couldn't be older than 17. First of all, her parents sent her to a boarding school because of her alcohol addiction and I don't think they would let her go to Vegas just for fun and her school also wasn't in LA, right ? Furthermore she said she wasn't good at gambling but if the song talks about K, she wouldn't even been allowed to enter a casiono. Oh and she says she has a "Las Vegas past" but according to the interview this can't be true at all. I know my post is pretty confusing but I had to say it. OTTR is one of Lana's best songs but I wouldn't be surprised if it is totally made up and she also lied in the interview @ I love the form you posted but I think people will discuss the song better without one. Don't judge me if I'm wrong

great idea !! Which person isn't mentioned in one of her songs ? -Elvis Presley -Kurt Cobain -Jared Leto -Kayne West Which song on the Paradise EP was remastered ? -American -Yayo -Gods And Monsters -Bel Air In which country hasn't Lana performed so far ? -Canada -Germany -South Africa -Russia

Lana has written the song

I still like Cheryl's music but you're right: her songs are always "cool" mainstream pop songs in which she sounds sexy. Ghetto Baby doesn't suit her at all. The song is a Lana song and has a story but Cheryl sings the lyrics like they aren't special at all....

Put Me In A Movie & Queen Of The Gas Station

They're probably surprised that "their" song leaked but hey they should've known, it's a Lana song I thought the song would be horrible but you CAN listen to it Imo. It's really getting on my nerves that they are talking and even choking while Lana is singing. They should respect the queen ! :come2:

maybe this goes a little far but well... she spent a lot of time in the city as a stripper and in the Bel Air scene she is surrounded by nature. maybe she realized that LA is not the paradise and that America has many beautiful places. You can't become famous or rich there but they are unique and full of love.

thank you very very much !! I really appreciate your summary Have a happy new year

so this is a little bit awkward and I don't want to get on anybody's nerves but where I come from nobody knows Charli XCX and with that I REALLY mean NO ONE. Lanaboards raised my awareness of her and I think she looks quite interesting. I also listened to some songs of her which are just brilliant. It would be more than nice if somebody could tell me some facts about her. I know there is wikipedia and all that stuff but I'd like to hear a fan's summary if you understand what I mean. I also know that I could simply read this thread but it has 235 pages so if any Charli fan could do me a new year's favor, I would love and adore you forever & always
