" sang it " really? just a line or the whole song? A person can have an unreleased song in the drawer for ten years, and then give it to a movie director who rewrites it and adjust it to the movie he's making.. Is it eligible or not? What do you think? But most important of all: what is the purpose of your stubborn fight? Let me guess. 1, you're smarter than the people at the Academy Awards. 2. you really want Lana to fail. 3. you like to argue and Always makes sure to have the last word. 4. All of the above.

She had an idea for a song called "Will you still love me", maybe even some chords and lyrics. We will probably never know how advanced the progress was. Have you heard it? Have anybody heard it? No? Then why do you hammer us in the head with your arguments over and over again? And trying to make fun of a true, passionate Lana fan is very low..

Miming to the national anthem on the presidential inauguration all hail

Don't leave! You are needed on this forum. BTW Y&B is loved in the US by a lot of ppl. By many it was the best song of Lollapalooza this summer.

As you know I've never said that her music is bad. I like Royals. but have not yet listened to the rest of her album. What I really hate is that her arrogant words are being used to slam LDR. " Pure heroin is the the record Lana Del Rey wished Born to die was" Awful "journalism". Also I like to debate. nothing wrong with that I hope. On a positive note: I think that you like Madonna. I love her! Musically LDR has not yet reached her level. but visually no one can compete with Lana.

So being a teenager is worth extra points in pop? I thought that music should just be judged as music no matter who's made it. If someone like Mick Jagger makes a bad record then we just could say: " It's really good for someone who is almost 70 years old" or " your grampa is 69, can he sing? No, Well in that case you should not criticize Mick!". I can understand your reasoning when an adorable 5 years old is singing. At seventeen a pop singer is judged against all other artists. " Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, but she has really said some stupid things, I understand why some are angry.

She has said several times that she can't be rushed to write new songs and that she want's every song to be perfect for the album, so I mostly agree with you. However I think she is more complex than that. She has also proudly stated that her album is a multi-million seller and " I have even won several awards" She's aware that being a commercial success enables her to make beautiful and expensive music-videos where her dreams and visions comes alive. And don't forget the HM and Jaguar commercials. Other than that, the recent golden globe snub to be followed by an almost certain oscars snub has given me a really bad feeling. And do anyone REALLY believe that they will give her a grammy win. This will have consequences I'm afraid. . .

If all the pessimists on LB are right about approx. release date for UV it spells big troubles for LDR. The long "vacation"' will automatically happen whether Lana wants it or not. Because, let's face it. 1. She can't tour arenas anymore with only old material, Interscope would never allow it. Only us stans would go and watch a second paradise tour. 2. With Tropico she exhausted all possibilities for any more videos from the paradise Ep. So the only thing left for a long time would be the random shots of her doing normal things like taking a walk etc. (just jared and others). People will move on to other artists and stuff, that's the way it works. I have always believed that LDR is a savvy business woman and a good marketing strategist as well. She knows the importance of keeping the public on their toes. So she "must" release UV early 2014, and by early I mean before the summer. If nothing happens there can only be two reasons in my opinion. 1. She knows that Born to die is a classic. She's worried that the new one will not be as brilliant. So she hesitates. If this is the case someone she trusts should calm her and give her faith, as I am sure UV is great enough.( better than 99% on the charts today). 2. She has lost all inspiration. Then there's nothing anybody can do. I don't believe this is the case though.

I'm really glad that the " whiny " comments gave me low expectations. But it was a beautiful short film given to us for free. Can a person be more gorgeous than Lana? Beautiful with her fans at the premiere, she's a real American treasure. No, I don't like everything she does or say! But in my opinion she is judged more harshly than any other pop star.To me she embodies the best of America, which I happen to love: the drive, the energy, the poetry, the ambition. Lana Del Rey could only be American.

Typically straw men accusations. Every true Lana fan wants Lana to to tour the US.

Don't you ppl think that Lana will do several showings? I mean the film is only 30 min. long. Or maybe there will be ulraviolence outside the entrance.

She's an entertainer, a very good one. Beautiful scenery and great music IS very entertaining. Maybe she aims at entertaining both herself and the audience. She's very visual and she's giving us her visions, I feel grateful that she does. Some people find her weird. I find her unique.

Anyone want to make a bet? Lana will never win an American award, I'll be surprised if Young and beautiful is even nominated. The powers that be have decided that she'll be kept out of any chance to win something ever. She had the audacity to defend herself against the ugly slandering, now we can't have that, can we. They will always find a "new Lana" with one hit and a lot of fillers. They will always go for the big box office movie with a generic theme song. There are millions of ways and reasons to stop her from winning something. It's getting cold and dark outside which adds to my frustration. How I wish I was wrong, but really, I don't think so.

She won't visit before a new album, born to die has run it's race now

Technically speaking I think both you and KBr have many valid points. Now imagine Dylan with the voice of an opera singer Just like when you distill liquor; if it gets too pure everything will taste the same. Have you ever thought about that people wants diversity? Someone wrote " If you want pitch-perfect voices go to the opera" I, for my part wants LDR to sound uniquely LDR, and Dylan, Cohen, Janis Joplin etc. also.

Your examples just show that they can't play songs they've never rehearsed. Not even people like Clapton can be expected to do that in a great way. I was merely thinking about the great way they perform songs they actually know. But it's just my personal opinion I'm still in awe about the Brazilian fans though.

I'm not sure if this topic has been covered before. In my opinion the backing band deserves a lot more credit for lifting Lana's music to great heights. I remember back at the start of the Paradise Tour some of the reviewers wrote that her backing band did not match the glamour of Lana. Now they know her every whim (almost). Just think about the drummer. I think his confident handling of the drums contributes to making her sound really special and unique. All of them are fantastic in my opinion.

I love it. I'm surprised, Great.

"Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts". quote by D.P. Moynihan

Barrie creates a very west coast sound. a bit eagles and neil young. amazing, a scot transforms into a californian. (all because of Lana)

I think this makes sense. But if you're wrong and it won't be released shortly after her South American leg of the Paradise Tour, then I think we can forget about it forever.

@ I have seen this type of personality before. My mother never touched a drop of alcohol in her entire life. But at parties etc. acted like she was a little drunk. She changed her personality depending on the situation and the people she was talking to. .When men found her witty and interesting and gave her compliments she was really happy, even at one time actually running away with one very admiring guy. But privately she was a darker more unsure person. Me and my sisters didn't really understand her. Just look at Lana's behavior at the Echo Awards this year. She was glowing, being in the middle of people that was loving her and giving her awards. If you look at the faces of the hosts they seemed a little taken back by the American whirlwind sweeping in. Arriving back in London she seemed sullen and tired. Of course it had been a tiring event and the paps are annoying., but I don't think that is the only explanation. The thing that contradicts my observation is her Ride Or Die relation with Barrie. I guess Barrie is a really cool and understanding person.

It's all Lana's fault. Not giving us anything of interest to discuss we resort to uninteresting topics.

English is a Germanic language. It is closely related to Low German. So German, which is an Indo-European language, is the mother of the English language. As well as the mother of the languages we speak in Scandinavia.

@@merman, I haven't laughed this much for a long time. Please keep on, and at which event can I watch your standup act? I'm willing to travel. . .
