  1. Tymoschenko aka super corrupted/thief politician who was judged (for once in a country such as Ukraine) and imprisoned. I don't deny though that it wasn't only done for the sake of Justice. Anyway, she's not an innocent bunny so unless you think that because she is a politician she is a holy person who doesn't have the right to go to prison I don't see the problem here tbh but hey ~criminals run the world. These people who were not paid isn't the government's fault btw. Merkel has a very friendly relationship with Putin (he used to be a spy in Germany and knows well the language) Hollande isn't attending the Olympics but I suspect him of not boycotting but just not giving a fuck about sports.
  2. First, your human rights are not theirs. The western ideals are not shared by every country in the world and if you try to impose them, it is called imperialism and Russia doesn't accept to comply. The USA have nowhere the right to tell them anything, do I need to remind you how this country disrespects daily the "Human Rights" they seem so delighted to defend in military actions? The parallel between Hitler and Putin is gross. The laws don't imply killing every homosexual in Russia but defending the "traditional family". While you may disagree totally with this position, it is nothing as horrible as the atrocities committed by Nazi Germany and Russia is far from being the only country defending this view. Nope, not everyone thinks it's okay for homosexuals to adopt children and it doesn't make someone a nazi for believing this. In France A LOT of people protest against the laws allowing homosexuals to marry and adopt. If the president would actually listen to them, I bet France would have the same laws as the ones in Russia. Putin isn't a monster, he listens to the people living in his country and doesn't give a fuck about western propaganda demonizing him. Do you seriously think Putin will feel bad if gay athletes receive medals? He isn't Hitler, he sees homosexuals as humans. Besides, the Russian duo t.A.T.u. singing mostly about lesbian love had their song "Nas ne dogonyat" (Not gonna get us) on the opening ceremony when Russian athletes were walking ... Putin especially loves Lena Katina and he is pretty proud of the success the band had worldwide a few years ago and supported them when they were bashed in Europe and America for being "homosexual". (one of them admitted she is straight and the other is bisexual but they both say it doesn't matter and they still support the gay cause) Yes I repeat, Russia is blessed to have him as its president and a country can only dream to have someone as dedicated as he is. But hey, we all know how that works. When a president is shit, America licks his ass. Gorbatchev, the worst president received a Nobel Prize and Putin is depicted as the devil. Fact is, almost every Russian person absolutely loves him and what's important is that they acknowledge his dedication. They don't give the slightest fuck about the opinion of western medias on this. Seriously, educate yourself, open your eyes. Go learn another language to have a different point of view on the question (if you speak English/German it won't help you much) or read alternative newspapers. No side holds the truth and question whatever you read and don't be a simple manipulated mind.
  3. It's so impressive what was done to Sochi, a whole new city was rebuilt. This immense project gave a lot of work to people and I think it's really nice to have huge projects like that to move forward. Putin can definitely be extremely pride of what he did and whether you accept it or not, Russia is blessed to have him as its president. Boycotting the games because of the anti gay laws is hypocritical, some federal states in the USA have the same laws. Truth is, Occident can't accept the success of Russia, its sovereignity and will do everything to ruin their progress. The money spent isn't for meaningless stuff, it's a real investment for the future with clear visions put into the project.
  4. I can't at some comments on the interview mentioning the video with Lana and Manson : "omfg slay bitch slay, i need that LanaxManson sex tape please satan"
  5. I hear two bucks swretheart
  6. tbh I don't remember why I quoted youI think her accoustic might please her fans but I wouldn't like an era full of that. It comes down to your personal taste and I clearly became a fan because of the grandiose production not the Sirens album.
  7. Don't act like a Lana hipster, her overproduced songs are the best everybody knows it it's a fact kiss kiss
  8. lol bye if u wanna have an album full of Elvis and shit like that Lana needs someone to make what she wants come true and tbh he's very good.

    Of course not! I love gangsta hip-hop and that cliché but I can't take some of them seriously because they are either too serious about it or not believable. There's a thin line between cheesy or cool.

    Hip Hop

    I'm gonna reference this interview by Iggy : some rappers are just too cliché, too cheesy, "too many tattoos, too many gold chains, too much "I'm gonna pop these bottles" and 'I'm gonna rap in front of a graffiti wall " " Anyway tbh I never listened properly to Lil Wayne, it's just that when I see him all I can think is "u noooot a gangstaaaa"
  11. My favorite tracks on BTD are produced by Emile Haynie, his songs are the strongest. It's what made Lana so unique and recognizable and considering what she keeps telling everyone is the guy that manages to fulfill her visions. Stop with the hating I don't want Black Beauty 2.0

    Does anybody here like Tyga? I think he's so cheesy, like Lil Wayne tbh. Too stereotypical with too many chains. I can't at this
  13. First impression: The first time I heard it, the lines "Light of my life, fire of my loins" got me incredibly embarrassed. I wasn't expecting at all this singer to use quotes from Lolita, which is a book that I secretly loved. That made me feel like my privacy was invaded because it was the first time I heard a girl so openly referencing the book, I never met people before openly talking about it, that's why I was so surprised. Impression now: I absolutely love it, it's perfect next to Born to Die which imo is a masterpiece. Songs I play along with it: Anything with a Bonnie and Clyde feel (Golden Grill, ...) but most of the time Born to Die, Burning Desire can be good next to it too. What I like about it: The instrumental, the white girl rap haha. I like it how she is so comfortable with her feminine charms. It's so cinematic, this song tells you a story and it's so complete that you can easily picture the car they ride and stuff like that. What I dislike about it: Probably that a lot of people automatically assume that this song is about Lolita without having a real thinking on the story and realizing that it's not about the book. Maybe she somehow associates her own life with the story told in the book but not more. Memories I associate with this song: I always remember a guy that loved to drive very very fast and the places he took me to. Colors/images that come to mind: Bright red, red long nails, a high class prostitute tbh. Loads of gold, opulence, cigars, dirty money. Favorite lyrics: Now I'm off to the races, laces Leather on my waist is tight and I am fallin' down I can see your face is shameless, Cipriani's basement Love you but I'm going down God I'm so crazy, baby, I'm sorry that I'm misbehaving I'm your little harlot, starlet, Queen of Coney Island Raising hell all over town Sorry 'bout it But I trust in the decision of the Lord to watch over us Take him when he may, if he may I'm not afraid to say that I'd die without him Who else is gonna put up with me this way? I need you, I breathe you, I never leave you They would rue the day I was alone without you Interpretation: With the last lines, I imagine like she's threatening to commit suicide if he's taken away from her. There is obviously a power role play in their relationship. The first "light of my life [...]" is like the guy is telling her how to behave, the second one "light of your life [...]" she's in control and still trying to keep that appearance of a submissive girl but she perfectly understood how to get what she wants from him (money) and that she is his weak spot. "raising hell all over town, sorry 'bout it" : she makes his life more problematic but she didn't want to, trouble comes with her. She's obviously not the classy girl you would proudly show to your mom but the vulgar girl suiting a guy involved in shady situations.
  14. Gramma and Jump even though I like them Guys, Little Girls is her most perverse and subtle song come on
  15. We spoke with Mandler—who directed Lana Del Rey’s 30-minute video “Tropico,” released earlier this month—about the state of the music video in 2013, what he thought of Miley Cyrus’ video output this year, and what he makes of Daniel Radcliffe. Josh Duboff: This was a really big year for event music videos, what with “Tropico,” the Miley Cyrus videos released this summer, the Beyoncé visual album. Did it seem to you like music videos reached a new level of cultural prominence in 2013? Anthony Mandler: Well, I actually don’t think they’ve gone anywhere, if you look at it. In the era of YouTube and the internet, we encompass the most watched programming there is. When you talk about 100 million views, you’re up there with major award shows, things like that . . . Rihanna and I have done 17 videos together, we have like a billion and a half views. So I think if you’re going to look at the pop culture needle, the ebb and flow, videos have always been at the center of that. Right, and YouTube obviously changed everything in terms of the overall accessibility of music videos. Well, it’s the ultimate brand builder, the music video. There were these two lines crossing. The label was making less and less money because no one is buying albums. And the artist was finding their success didn’t have to be tied to how many albums they sold. It could be tied to, “Hey, I sell no albums, but I tour, I have a lot of merch, I’m the face of Givenchy. . .” What I’m getting at, and this is true of all artists, from Rihanna and Jay Z on down, they’re willing to put more money [into their videos], leverage the relationship with the label, put their own money behind [them], to put more on the screen, to make a bigger statement. “Tropico” is made up of three songs that have been out for over a year, but it’s causing this massive splash because of what we did. [Lana] was willing to take that chance, when most labels would say “The album’s over. Why are you going to spend this much on something’s that’s dated, that’s old. What’s the new single? What’s the next album?” Who would Beyoncé be if we didn’t see her in those videos? Who would Gaga be if she wasn’t a visual artist? Rihanna has built her career on being a visual artist. Look what Beyoncé is saying: “I’m putting out a visual album.” http://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/2013/12/music-video-auteur-anthony-mandler-miley-cyrus?mbid=social_twitter
  16. I'd ask her about how she sees money. How she deals with honoring true love (even when it's dead) and her current relationship. If I could I would directly ask about K, Mr. Campbell, the other lovers. Also, her relationship with her father. What are the parallels between her story and Lolita's, why she includes quotes of the book and i'm not gonna buy that it's only because she thinks it's beautiful. How she feels when she sings personal songs such as Dark Paradise, Hundred Dollar Bill, ...
  17. Sample tracks don't really get publicity and this track is ...
  18. I doubt it, with "dans ta vie" and "mon amour" you can hear an accent (probably American) the French part in Carmen is so cheesy
  19. Idk, Balmain loves her. Imo you can see that a lot of work is put in her outfits, designers probably like her because whether you agree or not she is bright, I mean she has an aura maybe a tacky one but still. She always wears the latest trend, like look at her haircut, that's probably why some people think she has her place in fashion industry.
