I have some theories regarding the leaks: 1. She is amateurish, surrounded by her siblings, Barrie, some really stupid managers and are poorly organized 2. She's leaking her stuff, thinking that she can manipulate her notoriety or just for fun (boredom) 3. Conspiracy theory for the recent leaks: involved Interscope. Leaking this old Lana song about GAGA: i think that the clear loser is Lana because she looks like a jealous bitch and because some GAGA fans will turn away from her. the winner is LG who's posing into a victim and she's gaining attention for her new album. The only problem with this theory is that LDR sold music for them, is creative, and there is no logic in sacrificing her for LG The last few days were certainly strange but i subscribe for the first two theories combined

I didn't like her comment about LDR. Lorde: "What really got me is this ridiculous, unrelatable, unattainable opulence that runs throughout. Lana Del Rey is always singing about being in the Hamptons or driving her Bugatti Veyron or whatever, and at the time, me and my friends were at some house party worrying how to get home because we couldn’t afford a cab". I think she has a limited interpretation of Lana's lyrics, to put it mildly. Poor little kiwi, she cannot afford a cab to get home from a party, my heart is bleeding for you baby. I don't like her personality, her voice and songs are ok but nothing special for me.

I forgot the feminist bloggers from the "professional" feminist category. Those pieces after attacking Lana with some wooden language blah blah, in most cases the "real" problem were her lips. What a phoney bunch.

No offence, but you are naive? You believe that in politics everything is what is seems to be? You can build a good career by representing issues and, of course, is not hurting to belive in them. This is your assessment and your ideology about feminsm, you cannot make others ignorant just because they have a different point of view.

Nobody is immune to critique. But Lana was not simply criticized in the American media, she was made a liar, musically incompetent etc. You cannot love her music and in the same time agree to this type of "critique". Professional feminists are those how are trying to make a profession out of representing feminism. They are trying to gain something such as a career in politics or make some money through foundations or just trying to be artificially important on forums. Lana referred clearly, in my view, towards the condition of women in the western developed world (US, Western Europe). Wow, that accusation with the taped applause at concerts is something new to me but this is hardly 'tons of criticism' and, mostly, the critical views are imported, by a few European journalists, from the American media.

Superficial America-bashing that seems rooted in pettiness over harsher media criticism and less commercial success in the US (and a ridiculously false perception of it at that), not in any sort of intelligent critique of the US She didn't bash or critique the US in this interview. She’s bitter, yes, but absolutely understandable when you take in consideration the quasi general and often non-intelligent and unfair critique of the American media towards her. I think she knows that she cannot go back to America and have a career there. Her only hope for a career is in Europe where nobody gives a fck about who is her daddy, if she really lived in trailer park, if she had plastic surgeries or about her SNL performance. I think she has more fans in Greece alone than in the USA. She loves America but she’s bitter towards the (indie, pop) musical elite from her native country that clearly rejected her and did everything to end her career. Bringing up the subject of being criticized as anti-feminist, bitching about it, then expressing complacent views on feminism and denying obvious inspiration by female icons She’s not a sociologist or a philosopher (with degree or not). She stated that (in the western world) women are in a good place and everything have to evolve naturally. What is wrong with that? I think that this is a reasonable position which is in tune with her lyrics. Of course that for the "professional" feminists the “revolution never ends”, but this is their problem and not Lana’s. She said that she didn’t meant any messages regarding feminism in her songs, is just about her experience in romantic relations. Denying she cares about her appearance when she certainly does This is judgmental. Why didn’t you mentioned the surgeries and the other crap? Stating she has a degree in metaphysics even though Fordham does not offer a degree in metaphysics (and as Maru pointed out there is some doubt whether she even graduated at all) Come on, her love affair with philosophy was started by an adolescent existentialist crisis and of course that her insight on philosophy is shallow and has nothing to do with scholarly metaphysics. But I really loved her response on the catholic clergy issue that demonstrated to me that she is capable of nuanced understanding of the issues. Hurling accusations of media slander against her and her family about things she continues to lie about in the same breath What are those accusations and what are her lies? What you say is that all the criticism by the American media towards her is valid? Accusation such as: she cannot sing, she is auto tuned, she didn’t write her songs, she’s all fabricated and daddy paid for everything music, image etc., her music and lyrics are crap etc. Then, I may ask, why are you here? Falsely claiming that she doesn't have money and that her family never had any money Her father declared that his company owns approx. 8000 internet domains that are worth, at a minimum, between 15-40 mil. dollars (this is not actual cash in the bank!). Her family made educational portfolio gifts to universities, colleges and secondary schools in excess of 900.000 dollars (mostly they gave away domains, Grant Family Foundation.com). Can you buy an international pop star career with that money? No. Can you jump start one? Maybe. What amount of money had her family in the past is hard to know, because her father risked a lot around 2000 when the dot-com bubble busted. Her trailer park story can be a rebellion against her parents and status and maybe she and her father didn’t agree much on her life style and career choices (they dumped her in boarding school after all) and is possible that she (not her family) was poor by choice for a while. But that is speculation and irrelevant to her music.
