Lollapalooza 2013: The Best Things We Saw on Friday
 
 
5. Lana Del Rey
If the multitudes of pre-fab flower crowns adorning girls' heads at Lolla did not tip you off in advance, the screaming, teeming LDR masses — the only thing that could blot out the industrial thunder of nearby NIN — made it good and clear: young female America stans for Lana. The polarizing pop ingénue took the stage looking like vintage Cher in a flowing, blood red gown with golden bodice and nearly black hair, looking very Bob Mackie-does-Grecian-goddess. Screams. A few songs in she told her band, "Lets do 'Blue Jeans,'" Screams. Fortunately, the flower crown ladies knew every single sigh and sang along, loudly, with LDR occasionally ceding a line to her rapt fans — which almost made up for how quiet and thin the sound was during her set. In the last year, her command of her voice has finally caught up to her ambition and star power — the delicacy of her baroque, operatic flourishes were in stark relief against the maniacal grunting of Trent Reznor, which punctured those swelling strings and sighs of longing from three blocks away.

Not trying to be rude or shit on anyone's opinion, but Lana and Ben have both said in the past that she is often misquoted. 
 
I do agree that she probably still has hard feelings to the way she was treated by the majority of Americans. Hope she eventually gets over them....

Some other thoughts. I was happy to see so many people want to see her and it was awesome to hear so many people sing along with her music. I am happy for her success. Kudos to those of you who camped both days to get up close. I am a hoping for a Minneapolis/St. Paul tour date to get up close and or meet her outside the venue since I live in MN. The thing is that I wanted to experience more of lolla instead of spending all day at the grove, I saw Icona Pop and did some walking around. I was wondering how those of you spent 10 hours at the grove how you managed to get food/water and go to the bathroom? 
 
It was crazy how that after Frightened Rabbit finished EVERYONE stayed! I mean no one in the first 20 yards in front of the stage left. In fact it more crowded as people began pushing. I was a little worried about people getting hurt. One thing is that it's rude in my opinion to try to push up front. That was part of the problem. If you have to be up front and it is your life's ambition then get there hours early and wait. Don't try to be a jerk or bitch and squeeze through and tell people you "HAVE" to be up front. I made the decision to not have to be in the first row so I was happy being about 15 yards away. It was closer than any arena or stadium show and I got to see her close. You could clearly see her face and her emotions. I am hoping to get up close when she comes to Minnesota or so. I will make plans to be up close. I have friends who work and or know people at the music venues in the area so I'm hoping for a close encounter some day either by waiting or by luck.  At other venues you can wait outside the backdoor and get a meet and greet. But if it doesn't happen then that's fine. I got to see her more than a lot of others who can't see her.
 
 
She is so good to her fans. I  am happy to see her attract a larger audience. Now I heard some fans claiming that she was getting too popular and that there were so many fans who don't know all her music that it was unfair that they were closer. LOL. It's good that she is getting more popular and share her with others. No one has a monopoly on her and yes there are VIP people who pay the bucks to get close and who luck out or spend hours waiting. That's the way things go.
 
Enjoy her music and her success. Lana is set for life when you consider her dad is pretty good with money and she is a talented songwriter. I am sure she truly loves her fans equally. Those who have known her since AKA to those who only know one song but who PAID to see her are all good fans.

She said she'd be back for Tropico, I can confirm that!
Looks like she's touring for Tropico release dates.
Maybe I'll meet her then lmao

trust no one, especially twitter
 
if she's going 2 a premiere, it's 1 in l.a.
 
ya the after show was before the festival bc the ppl that work 4 lolla r permafried

late i know 
 
June 4th. So basically my dad drove me almost 4 hours to the capital, I got there at about 2pm, (doors open 6:30pm, show starts 8pm). There were like 20 people there already, I was alone. I waited for about 2 hours, then it started POURING RAIN and most people moved under the roofs, but me and like 10 other people stayed. IT WAS FREEZING, I was all soaking wet, my shoes were soaked, my jeans, my everything but I didn't care I was just worried about the ticket in the inside pocket of my jacket  It stopped raining about 30 minutes later, so it was about 5pm and everyone started moving back to their places. More and more people kept coming. I was still in the front THANKFULLY. At about 6pm the security guards came (lol) and started opening the doors (not letting people in yet) and everyone started pushing and I was being crushed by, I would say around 300 people (i'm barely 5'2  ). THEN THEY OPENED THE DOORS AND EVERYONE STARTED RUNNING. I got in pretty quickly and started following everyone because I wasn't sure which gates to the stage they were gonna open. THERE'S LIKE 80 OF US RUNNING FULL SPEED AND THEN ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES SAYS THAT WE'RE RUNNING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION SO EVERYONE STARTS RUNNING BACK. We finally get to the gates (they're still closed) and I'm about 3 meters from the gates fml    We waited about 10 minutes and the gates OPENED. EVERYONE STARTED RUNNING, THERE WERE PEOPLE FALLING AND OTHERS STEPPING ON THEM JUST LIKE YOU SEE IN MOVIES AND SOME BITCH FELL IN FRONT OF ME AND ALMOST MADE ME FALL BUT I KEPT RUNNING. I DON'T THINK I HAVE EVER RAN THAT FAST. So I get to the stage and i'm in second row right in the middle in front of the little stairs!!!!!!!!! Everyone is crushing each other, there's barely any AIR. the air conditioners were horrible and I was wearing a leather jacket lol. Some people were lifting their phones up to see how many people there were, and literally the whole stadium was FULL, I couldn't believe I was in the front. Later, I read it was almost 12k people.

 
 
     So after lots of crushing, waving, moving, sweating, screaming and about an hour of waiting the opening band finally started playing. I had never heard of them before, but they were pretty good, they're called Golden Parazyth, look 'em up. AND THEN. THE LIGHTS WENT OUT. LANA'S BAND STARTED SHOWING UP. AND THEN THE PRINCESS CAME IN LOOKING BEAUTIFUL IN A LITTLE GREEN DRESS. HER LEGS. HER FUCKING LEGS. HER FACE. SHE WAS SMILING AND LAUGHING AND OMG I'M ABOUT TO PASS OUT JUST THINKING ABOUT IT. She kept repeating how she couldn't believe how many people were there and honestly, I couldn't either. I mean, it's Lithuania. PLEASE. She jumped off of the stage a couple times during Cola. I thought I was dreaming. It was perfect (I thought the music could've been louder though). She looked 500 times more beautiful in real life than in pictures. I actually thought she was taller, but I would say she was like 10 centimeters higher than me. SHE WAS GRINDING THE MIC POLE DURING BODY ELECTRIC LIKE 3 METERS AWAY FROM ME. I knew she was gonna come sit on the stairs during Without You 'cause she usually does that, so I prepared to scream my guts out during "Am I glamorous?". YOU CAN HEAR ME SCREAM "YEEEEES!". This was filmed by a person a little on my left:

I MADE HER SMILE JESUS CHRIST SWEET MOTHER OF GOD MY LIFE IS MADE     
 
Some people started looking at me like I was naked but who cares!!!11!!!1
 
It was like a dream, but I remember very little of Ride I don't know why. Before Summertime Sadness, she was like "Hmm, what should we do?"  AND I WANTED TO SCREAM "DARK PARADISE!!!!!!!!!" BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED I WAS LOST I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY  Someone screamed something, I didn't hear what it was, but she said: "Mmm! No, let's do summertime."
So basically the concert was perfect. VIDEO GAMES THOUGH. The intro started playing and everyone was screaming SO LOUD, I think that was the loudest part of the whole concert. She started smiling and laughing and said something like: "Oh my god! You're gonna have to help me!"
I started crying because it was so beautiful, it's my all time favorite Lana song and she was so perfect. People singing along at 3:00:

AFTER VIDEO GAMES FINISHED I WAS LIKE "NOOOOOOOO, NATIONAL ANTHEM IS THE LAST SONG FML" but she did Burning Desire YES. The performance was so hot i'm getting hot just rIGHT NOW.
It was time for the last song, National Anthem. After the song, she jumped off the stage!!!!!!!! She went to the right side first, then came to the middle. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BUT I FILMED IT AND SHE SAID "HI BABY" AND KISSED MY PHONE IDK IF SHE DID THAT ON PURPOSE OR IF I SHOVED MY PHONE INTO SOMEBODY'S FACE BUT I LIKE TO PRETEND THAT SHE SAID HI TO ME AND CALLED ME BABY    
Here's my video:

Then she went up to the girl on my left, started signing stuff AND I HELD HER HAND FOR LIKE 5 SECONDS. AND IT WASN'T JUST A TOUCH OR A SLAP. I LITERALLY HELD HER HAND LIKE THIS:
MY FACE WAS LIKE THIS          I KEPT LOOKING AT OUR HANDS AND THEN AT HER THEN AT OUR HANDS AGAIN THEN HER THEN HANDS THEN HER OMG. HER HAND WAS A LOT BIGGER THAN MINE but I have baby hands. I WAS CRYING. THEN SHE KISSED A GIRL NEXT TO ME ON THE LIPS AND SHE STARTED CRYING REALLY LOUD LIKE I THINK YOU CAN HEAR HER IN THE VIDEO. I saw quite a few guys crying too. She stayed down there for at least 20 minutes, signed posters, took pictures, then took the gifts, flowers, and left.       
 
Everyone started leaving the stadium, I still stood there crying. I couldn't believe what happened. I wasn't planning on buying anything but the paradise poster was rly cheap so I bought that. It's now hanging on my wall:
 

 
I went back to my dad's car and started CRYING, I couldn't even speak, my dad started asking WHAT HAPPENED WHAT HAPPENED. He thought something bad had happened to me. ALL I COULD SAY WAS: "I TOUCHED, I TOUCHED HER". So I sat in the car and cried literally for nearly 30 minutes. My dad said we could wait if she was to come out. I was like YES, so we waited for about 20 minutes (it was already about 40 minutes after the show) and I saw a few people waiting, but someone said she had already left. I was like   
So we left. THE NEXT DAY I READ ON THE INTERNET THAT SHE CAME OUTSIDE AND TOOK PICTURES WITH EVERY SINGLE PERSON LIKE 5 OR 10 MINUTES AFTER I LEFT   
 
I was in shock for like 3 days, I could barely SPEAK, I just kept rewatching videos from the concert.
But that was definitely the best day of my life. She said she would come back, I hope she will.
I recorded little pieces of every single song, I think, but the quality is pretty bad.
I wanted to go to Latvia's show a couple weeks later 'cause it the venue is literally like 3 hours away from where I live but my mom didn't let me    
 
 
wow this is long i'm sorry, and excuse any grammar mistakes it's almost 4am   

On the Fordham web page, apparently Lana didn't complete her degree (at least not at Fordham)
 

Really long please forgive me! My Nice Big Jimmy/K Post, i Know it sounds weird but bear with me~
 
 
  Thankyou for reading aag i know its super long so if you read it/ agreed/ disagreed or whatever thankyou for bothering to read it, i dno how sitar does this im exhausted, its bed time for me ugh, anyways hope you like my theories and that it makes sense to you guys and im not to crazy, im not the best at english either so forgive me if its bad

Lana lived in the Manhattan Trailer Court mobile park on Tonnelle Avenue in North Bergen, New Jersey- where there is Tonnelle station- you are a tunnel lined with yellow lights. I bet she saw the lights of the train from her window, and heard the loud noises of the train and the trailer park, dreaming of Jimmy to take her away :')  This belongs in Lanalysis maybe but I'm having FEELINGS okay. Like in the beginning she's being playful, Let me put on a show~ Let me sing for you, she's in love, she's been playing shows, still optimistic about her future.. and then it gets dark, the song wanes .. Let me put on a show~ she's (gogo?) dancing now, she's at a dark point in her career, not seeing any progression after making videos all day and music nonstop. Or maybe she realizes that the love is lost and he's not ever coming to get her. It kind of reminds me of when she sang "End of the World" by Skeeter Davis, how sad she got just singing it.   And the tune is similar.. I wonder if she listened to it a lot while writing Yayo.
 
 
It's a song that is reflective of her past but also speaks of her life at the time, imo.  When they were living in California, it took 2 hours to Nevada, it was a happy time, the world seemed new, etc. And now she wants him to take her out of the dark trailer park life because she misses that.  I think she was the one using then, obviously cocaine, and it was fucking w/ her dreams~  thinking of happier times with this guy or the life she wished she could live. 
 
And they are tearing that trailer park down in 2014

Am I really one of the few who love her monologues? I don't even find them that cheesy, the intro of Ride is a very strong piece of writing.

Bow down to Ke$ha
