Gaga's hair stylist who's part of her team tweeted about Lana - https://twitter.com/faspiras

Common problem with most fandoms, tbh; they simply can't deal when someone doesn't like what they like. That's what makes them so annoying.

Are you shitting me?! SHE is the one who created those iconic mixtapes?!
 

this song is so uplifting 

Wait
 
Hiya, honey, how’s it going?
Saw you skipping rope on TV, looking blue
You’re shakin’, makin’ music and you’re famous
Deep down you’re the same girl I knew

OMG imagine if Back To Tha Basics was about Gaga as well!!

reading the lyrics now, it sounds like shes just sad that her friend Stefani changed into a crazy bitch and forgot about her 

this is how you do it, azealia 

The insults make it a decent song 

@ That's a lovely outlook on the leaks. Hell, that's a lovely outlook on life in general!

If further proof was still needed that taste really is subjective: I love G&M, adore BE and think BA is Lana's most mediocre song along with the latest batch of leaks (all in the same style). I *wish* she'd go back to her trashier, somewhat more risqué sound and dropped this whole 'violins and overproduction' era, to be perfectly honest.

Blue Jeans.
 
I just love everything about it. The cinematography is gorgeous imo, and both Lana & that one dude who talks way too much look very, very sexy in it.
 
Honourable mention for National Anthem though, which is my close 2nd; I like the concept, it's beautifully shot + it features A$AP Rocky.

Blue Jeans. Such a gorgeous video, basically filled to the brim with the whole glamourous & retro image Lana has. It's effortlessly beautiful imo.
 
Also Lana watching Bradley stripping = A+

I got to know more about Lana through all her leaks, I got to connect with her. It took the journey Lana invited us to in BTD and removed all the stop signs and restrictions. I can't begin to articulate what it meant to me to hear any of the leaks, especially "Hollywood's Dead" and "Damn You" back in September. I owe Lana the world for those two songs.

 
 
That's probably why I do feel a little frustration when there are "hoarders" that play games with other listeners who really want to hear the songs, it puts up the boundaries again for people who see music as more of a personal and spiritual outlet/experience rather than a means of breaking silence or passing time. However, some of the ones that don't bluff about their collection and just choose not to leak everything they got, do make that choice out of fair reasoning.

My father has always reminded my siblings and I about the futility in dwelling on the bad with an analogy of sorts, and for me, it applies to all the leaks, and especially the leaks of the potential third-album tracks.

You go to a wedding, and the best man has a little too much to drink. He's stumbling around, being sloppy, and manages to knock the wedding cake off its stand, destroying it. Almost everybody is going to focus on how the best man was so drunk, how the wedding cake went to waste, but what about how beautiful the bride looked? What about how beautiful of a ceremony it was or how wonderful of an experience it is to see two people who love each other unifying? It's so easy to focus on the worst thing that can happen because it's what people have a habit of remembering the most because the ease of doing so outweighs what good it can really do to shift your perspective to something more optimistic.

It is an honest shame that the third album tracks weren't as well-secured as they should have been, but it happened and it is what it is; and what it means for the third album...well, that's in the unknown. But the songs are so beautiful, and Lana most likely worked very hard on them to make them as beautiful as they are. I'm a firm believer in the laws of attraction, so I try to think good and well of those leaks, hoping that they, like BTD and Paradise did, will lead to great things for Lana's publicity and her career from here on out. I don't like catering thoughts or energy to worst case scenarios just because they can happen. No shit they can, but so can the best case scenarios. I think projecting pessimistic energy can be more threatening than any worst case scenario that could happen. So when it comes to the third album leaks, I believe in the occurrence's ability to do a lot of good for Lana in the end, because it should, it could, and as far as I'm concerned, it will, because I wouldn't want to think the worst for Lana, the worst possibility's still not enough of a reason to get me to.

But that's just me, I'm not expecting anyone to agree or whatever. I've been told I've too much naivety these days.

VIVE LA QUEEN OF CONEY ISLAND, VIVE LANA DEL REY.

While I completely disagree with the leaker's decision to leak the Nowels tracks (and this is in no way meant to excuse that person's actions) ultimately this was primarily Rick's fault or his web designer's. Considering the vast number of leaks Lana has had already, leaving unreleased tracks in the same public directories that the streaming music on his site streams from with the index pages accessible for months until rather recently was grossly negligent.
 
Also, as a side note, these leaks were bad for everyone in the long run-- even people thirsty for leaks-- because it's quite possible additional tracks would have been posted either without password protection or with filenames that could have been guessed. If people could have waited at least until a tracklisting announcement, we could have had these leaks and possibly more without risking disrupting an album. This is why we can't have nice things.

A$AP should've used his collab with Lana instead of that terrible one with Florence. Dumb sexy bastard.

The variety of the votes just show how she always delivers
 
My fave is Born To Die - It is the video that made me fall in love with her, and even after all this time, I still think that she in that throne is the best look she ever had. So damn beautiful and elegant. Plus if you watch it enough times you actually get the message of the whole thing which is a nice extra.
