LaMartine

to extend your point, and it's an unpopular opinion I think, it's a shame she abandoned her 2011-2012 persona. It truly was one of the hugest cultural influence of the decade

This whole thing is so messy and annoying at this point.

I need her to have amphitheater shows again soon because I love seeing her smoke when she's singing SHE MAKES IT SO SEXY but also I want her to live forever so I feel bad for wishing this 

Yesss Freak too, they all have an onimous nature to them

Sometimes I feel like if Lana could do it all over again, she would never have became "Lana Del Rey".

Imagine Lana recreating this look for a live concert, with the hair and everything. It would be iconic. That's all bye

I feel the same thing!  This is why I feel like later on down the road, Lana will be recognized as a LEGEND! 
I remember I started writing an essay for English class about Lana's influence on music. I didn't finish it because I later dropped the course. I'm considering finishing the essay and make a mini-documentary lol

YES TO ALL OF THE ABOVE! She brought back a lot of trends; like flower-crowns (I am still convinced that standard flower-crown Snapchat filter was made because of her); cinematic music video projects (like Tropico); and her whole general aesthetic. I'm aware she didn't necessarily "invent" these things but she definitely brought them into the spotlight. She never gets recognised for it though!
 
You know how people always say fillers became "trendy" because of Kylie Jenner? Well I have a theory she was influenced by Lana because she was a fan of Lana before she (Kylie) got her new lips lmao 
 
I can literally see Lana's influence within most popular things though so I don't know if I am actually just insane or what?

Sometimes I think Lana is responsible for all of the slow, moody music in alt. pop and pop music today.
I felt like I noticed a shift in 2012/2013 in terms of pop stars image and music. Like everyone was suddenly making these "cinematic" music videos that were all dramatic and some had toned down their bright and poppy image and the music starts becoming "serious" and slowed down A LOT. 
Idk these are some things off the top of my head, just a thought.

You're right, which is really unfortunate. Never heard much praise for Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood or The Other Woman either now that I think about it. 
 
I'd honestly pay for an album of Lana doing studio covers of old songs like Vera Lynn's We'll Meet Again. I love the originals, but she does makes them accessible to listeners who can't get into the older sounds. 

it's underrated as hell cause it's a cover

This has probably been mentioned somewhere earlier in the 250+ pages of this thread but
 
Blue Velvet is one of my favorite songs from BTD/Paradise and I feel like its criminally underrated. Excellent vocals, excellent orchestra instrumental, excellent everything. Maybe it was just the fans I knew before, but I don't remember anybody talking about it.
 
Also I love David Lynch and the name itself/music video is reference to his movie so maybe I'm biased

And the video is so fucking underrated. She looks flawless and tbh its probably my favourite of all of her looks in any video. Thats the kind of class I want for the Cherry music video
 
 
 
Also Burning Desire is one of my favourite of her instrumentals

burning desire is one of her best songs but it'S NOT ON ANY FUCKING ALBUM SO I CONSTANTLY FORGET IT EXISTS AND THEN I REMEMBER AND I'M JUST LIKE "wow~~~!!!!!!!"
 
I'M DRIVING FAST FLASH EVERYONE KNOWS IT I'M TRYING TO GET YOU BABY.... <333     

Personally the amount of bs thrown at her made me legit scared for personal safety at a point for a minute, the amount of negativity thrown her way was excessive and inhumane
 
Still prob the biggest character assassination there's ever been in music

omg wig I love when LB calls me on my bullshit. yall keep me sane
 
we're fortunate to stan an artist who can perform at such a high degree of quality even of the midst of mental illness. legend

Both of these comments are so tasteless. Bombing a concert, wtf??

I hope you voted for me, hun.

I'm not really feeling her hair on the tour yet.
 
I think she should add a couple layers and part it to the side, and maybe have the clips on the side that doesn't have the part (where there's less hair).
Adding waves would make it cute too.

My thoughts on this: I think people are trying to make this a Donald Trump issue when it's really an American issue. Liberals, conservatives, independents, etc. think the same thing, Trump just verbalized it and had it plastered on the news. Many Americans believe that African, Caribbean, Middle Eastern, South American, et al. countries are "shitholes," even subconsciously, so I hate how people are trying to be on some sort of moral high ground about it. 

My father in law called my husband to tell him that he *knew* me and ~the gays~ were behind the Trump Tower fire   

french press already nonchalantly saying this isn't her first time ripping off music and recalling the video games/old greek song accident during her interview for Canal + 
 
 
yeah: i had to read articles about her claiming she's representative of the porn industry bc of video games once. the constant judging of her looks, people claiming she didn't write gf anyway like "all the other pop girls" she probably added some words and left the writing to "professional" songwriters, and so on it's depressing. lana may be used to it i guess, and from day 1, but it's true   maybe there should be a thread exposing all the sexist coverage of her career but it'd be really saddening probably to keep it up for some

of coz "no lawsuit has been issued" otherwise they'll be scheduling for court date
 
and for "Radiohead have not said blah blah blah" yet their label's lawyers team might have come up with this suggestion for once i assume
 
 
what a way to phrase these events into such ambiguous words 

Grammy voting was from December 7-21st so it won't have any impact on the voting process - not that her chances are particularly high anyway...

I said this earlier, but Lana will be fine. She's always been controversial and has survived FAR worst. SNL, manufactured look, saying she wished she was dead - all this when her fanbase was far less than it is now. 
 
This also is not nearly as big as Madonna v Gaga, Taylor v Kanye, etc. It just happens when you're a celebrity, particularly a musician. 
 
This too shall pass. It's already not as big of a story anymore - that's how today's news cycle works.
