If Happy is a stripped back ballad, a b/w cover among the disco-style could be very fitting plus it's a great pic. I prefer the lightening to the Froot-single-cover and -promo pic.

Haha, well I agree with you on the part that BE is very soundtrack-ish, the lyrics of the second verse are stupid and the production/construct of the song is a bit messy. But I think it's a great song, however it would need a bit ... more of whatever. It's the same with FMWUTT, both are great songs but just when you get into some kind of mood, the song is already ending. I Can Fly .. no, I don't like it the more I listen to it. The lyrics are meh and the way she sings them reserves them a seat for "the most boring lyrics" next to Lucky Ones and Cruel World. The chorus however is the worst part for me. This "IIIIIIIIII can FLYHYHYHYYYYYYY" is so .. exhausting and, how leaked would call it, "faux-emotion". It kind of reminds me of Angels Forever, Forever Angels, just without any passion/beauty in it. I prefer Guns And Roses to it anytime.

Oh come on ... the songs are good and fit the movie, but it's general "I thought i could trust you" stuff, seemingly including ONE scene from the movie where she actually paid attention, where they are sunbathing in the garden. "I had bright wishes in the summer, I was bathing in sunlight, Painting in the garden," "I saw you creeping around the garden" "I noticed you got hot in summer You had no comfort Your shirt was cotton Your face was sunburned You paced around like you’d been waiting Waiting for something" I mean like, the whole second verse of BE is lyrically stupid as hell. It's good soundtrack music but far away from a "diary in song form".

This looks like the one scene of the "Behind The Scenes" video from the Neil Krug "Complex" photoshoot at the beach ... I like how this is an actual more mature photoshoot. All of the others we have so far are quite Born-To-Die-esque, just more simple and with dark hair and a different kind of editing. This shoot actually makes her look more "mature". The onyl other UV photoshoot that succeeded with this so far is the Madame Figaro one. Although I don't like that almost every picture features a fur ...

I have to I am a bit underwhelmed too. The transitions between the chorus and verses are a bit ... "random" and connection-less. And it should have built up a bit more "action" during verse 2. I still like it, but it's not as impressive as I hoped it to be. The best part is still the third chorus/bridge/last chorus part.

I guess she did it because she actually wrote the sing herself and it was not "just done" for a movie, she had it before it was added to the soundtrack. And i amnot sure about Ride ... she dropped it in her latest shows.

Meeeh, I hoped Gold would be next ...

Well, at least Idid my playlist judging on what is most likely, not what i really wanted. I'd love to hear Florida Kilos, Flipside or Pretty When You Cry live, but i am not realy sure if that's something she's going to do. Blue Jeans .. I would still be ok with it, I more likely would want Summertime Sadness to disappear.

On the one hand it's super annoying that most journalists are just after writing bad articles about her. Of course journalism is supposed to be critic ... but lately it has reached a pathetic level. Either way they just re-brabble the usual praising stuff and the same already-known anecdotes or they do anything to portray her as a person, which is not supposed to be taken serious. But on the other hand, Lana annoys the shit out of me, with her "making things up", saying plainly stupif stuff and only making wolly statements. The photoshoot is quite boring and some of the pics are unflattering. No interesting poses, lights or makeup. but funny how everyone bitches about the cover, but noone says something about this pic, which is definitly worse in my opinion. Her facial expression, the camera angle and the light on her skin is so .. meeeeeh. -
^ All this "she really persumed to do a lot of shit this year! First the feminism thing and now rape!" stuff is so pathetic. She's ACTING in a rape scene and you don't know the context. Of course it's uncomfortable, would be more alarming if it wouldn't. She did NOTHING to glorify rape, they reanacted it, that doesn't mean you approve of it. Some people just WANT to be upset here and ignore all of this simple facts.

The thing I don't like at some of the photos is, that they can't decide if they want to be high-polish-erotic pictures ala GQ magazine or low-budget hotel room pics ala Hit magazine. It's the worst with those blanket-pics ... They should have either way have an interesting light on it and better camera angles or at least editet the pics to look more interesting. The only ones I really like are just presented as LQ prewiev versions -,-
