Well when we get 320kbps of this then post it here.

I didn't know Lana liked her, that's kinda weird tbh but doesn't change my opinion. And I'm in no way implying that Lana came first. I'm just saying they're both aiming for the same artistic goal but Marina's failed and Lana's succeeded. It's evident in their album sales and impact. The only people who like Marina, in my experience, are pop listeners. Lana has a much broader audience.

"It must have stung like billy-o when Lana Del Rey came along and executed precisely what Marina was aiming for, hardly having to open her much-discussed mouth in order to explain herself whilst Marina tied herself in conceptual knots."

Plus, how can you compare Lana's best songs (Born To Die, Video Games, Ride, Y&B) to Marina's "Homewrecker, Primadonna, Hollywood, Power & Control).

Isn't it obvious? She's shading Lorde. She talks about Lorde's curls and in the chorus she says "This is my show" (Lorde shades a lot of artists and she thinks she's so cool with her dancing/music but she's not). It's about Lorde's arrogance... Jesus Christ she even imitated Lorde's singing at one point in the song (mimicking her weak/whispered low notes).

No I don't think she ever will, that's obvious. I think she just becomes too consumed by the negative sometimes. As do some people here as well.

Well longevity is one thing. Any singer can have longevity. Having longevity and still having massive pull and impact in popular culture? That's almost only reserved for megastars and none of those have seemed to happen since the 80's. Madonna and MJ are prime examples.
 
I think the closest thing we have to a megastar is Beyonce. Gag doesn't stand a chance against any of them obviously, she's through already. Rihanna will be going strong for as long as she likes. Katy doesn't have a lot of ideas nor does she have versitlity but she could be doing this for a while. I could see Katy retiring eventually though.
 
Overall none of them could repeat the success and impact of Madonna. That's stupidly assuming it's easy to replicate Madonna's career, when in fact it's impossible. They can merely try, but never succeed xo. Longevity? ...Sure, some of them may be singing at Gay Pride when they're 50.

IMO, Madonna's longevity is of a particular kind that isn't purely related to music. There's stuff going on like being a fashion icon (and staying in great shape to be so), having social influence, doing epic (and expensively staged) tours with broadway quality choreography and production, and movie engagements (i.e., Evita, and documentaries implying her living legend status). These constitute what it means for Madonna to be long-lived in popular culture. On the basis of that, I get Beyonce and Gaga as reasonable predictions for something similar. 
 
However, when I voted for LDR, I was thinking of (or hoping for) simple longevity from talent and love of craft. So for instance, Blondie and Deborah Harry put out an album some weeks ago (Ghosts of Download). DH has 13 years on M agewise, and I find her kind of longevity (as well as the actual songs associated with her and Blondie) just as impressive. That kind of longevity doesn't haven't to mean "not relevant" either.  I could use an obvious example like the Rolling Stones, but given my tastes, I find it cool that the super-talented old pros, Depeche Mode, came in just behind Beyonce, and ahead of 1-Direction and Justin Bieber, in touring grosses for 2013.

Yeah I think @@SitarHero. I'm amused as you lol saying that about Hannah Montana 
 
Everything is gimmicks until a certain extent , isn't ? The difference between Miley and most is that she has a great album and tour to support the gimmicks. Another thing about Miley: she doesn't want to fool you with the fact she's fooling you. When did you saw an artist say bluntly that "was for the view, was a gimmick and no it wasn't for the music or art" ?? She's so honest is confusing LOL.  I saw the concert (youtube since she didn't got here YET) and seems everything I expected to be. Pitchfork did an awesome critic (for a change) that express a lot how I feel about Miley.
 
here if you are interested 

This snippet shows so much growth. It's somewhat of the same sound but if she soaked herself in the genre. Loving it. Anyone making comparisons to Affraud

Because Interscope didn't manage to ruin Lana's career yet. 
 
Azealia
They just don't release her album. Period. They are sitting in millions for almost 2 years it's a joke
 
Gaga
Artpop promo anyone? They also allowed her to do a duet with R Kelly...
 
M.I.A
I have the impression they signed her just to kill her career. It's what happens to intelligent artists who are political activists and end up for some odd reason signing with a US label
 
LANA
They let the midia burn her for months and months. Basically the promo she got was from DJ's and radio stations. Against Interscope will to kill careers, Lana survived and got bigger. How to manage a successful artist? Let's overprice her to death. 

Need snippets tho ugh. 

Need snippets tho ugh. 

remember when George Bush banned her from America... ICONIC.. UR FAVE COULD NEVER

Just because she doesn't do "promo" doesn't mean she isn't huge. Just take a look at her YT views and subscribers, her SoundCloud followers, the wannabes coming out of the woodwork, doing soundtrack singles to major event movies. Just because she doesn't whore herself out on Twitter or Live TV doesn't mean there isn't a thirst for her.
