Foolish liked a post in a topic by lola in Teasers for 'Tropico' Released on YouTube
It's not a music video though, it's a short film that includes three of her songs or at least that's what it's supposed to be. She said Ride was going to be a short film but it was more of a long long music video. I like her music videos, she puts some effort into them, it's her own ideas, she doesn't just hire someone to do something, it's her own artistic vision realized by someone who's capable of doing so (even though that just sounded really stupid).

I think they meant Pt. 2, but THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LINKING AMAZON
I forgot Amazon was like a thing lmao (cuz I never use it) but now I only have to pay $11 for 3 new songs instead of $20 (the price to Canada from the original website it was on). Is it weird that $9 makes a difference for me? IDK but I'm happy I'm getting it now.

yeah, i wish she would take some singing lessons as well. she probably wouldn't need too many, maybe she just needs to practice with her band more or idk warm up before a show. she's a good singer, she has a wide range or whatever you call it, she just hasn't been professionally trained (like miley probably has been her entire life) so she doesn't really know how to use it live.

Philomene liked a post in a topic by lola in Create an Unreleased Lana Album/Playlist
I made this a while ago, I called it "Now My Life Is Sweet Like Cinnamon" but I'm open to suggestions. I wanted to make a playlist of songs from 2010 and 2011 to kind of re-live the time when I was first discovering Lana but I wanted to give it some kind of rough storyline. It starts when Lana's still young being a little badass that was ~born bad~ and ends with her making it big.

lola liked a post in a topic by Valentino in Miley Cyrus covers Summertime Sadness
Didn't watch the cover but wanted to mention something about singing since I am taking (classically oriented) voice lessons. Voice lessons are basically a requirement for anyone interested in singing seriously. It's very easy to get a "powerful" sound in the short term but lose it in the long term, and you can't support a career on one song (I mean if you want to be known as a one hit wonder and not a singer, go ahead). I disagree that Miley has control over her voice. More than Lana? Yes. Miley has poor technique, though, and whenever I heard her I feel like she's always on the verge of losing control of her voice. Hearing her hit those high notes in "We Can't Stop" is always incredibly painful because she's forcing it so much and it sounds strained. And this is in studio, where she has every modern technology available to make her sound her best.
On studio, Lana also has the issue of being off the beat (she's always a little behind in Born To Die, which was absolutely maddening and made me hate the record when I got it), which from I heard from the Brazil concert is also a problem, though thankfully to a lesser extent. Lana is also singing in the part of her voice where she clearly isn't comfortable. She's not a naturally low voiced woman and never will be. She sounds so much more comfortable on For K than on Ride, where you can hear her voice kind of groaning to reach those low notes, and you can notice the lack of ring in her higher notes ("I hear the birds..." "I just Ride). When you have a problem doing your songs in studio, no duh they're gonna be even harder live. In addition, she uses this fake girly high voice that's not her normal voice (think Lolita) which means that no part of her register sounds natural. Add in the stage fright and insecurity (she has no conviction in her vocals) and you get why people say Lana is a bad singer. A pretty timbre can only do so much before poor technique obscures it.
With good vocal training (there's a lot of pseudoscience peddled in voice training because it's very hard to actually study the vocal cords; we have no visual confirmation of how the whistle register physiologically works, for example), I do believe Lana could be a much better singer than Miley. She has the timbre, which you can't change, and she can learn to reach the extremes of her range in a healthy manner (no more groaning at the bottom or fluttering at the top). Vocal training can give you the confidence to perform, too. Plenty of famous singers have had stage fright; off the top of my head I can list Barbara Streisand, Frank Sinatra, and Agnetha Faltskog from ABBA. Nevertheless, they went on stage and gave it their all (and Agnetha is much like Lana in that she's an inherently private person who is not interested in being super famous and surrounded by strangers. guess what happened to her).
Lana can learn to become a better and more consistent singer (yes, both at the same time) if she wants to, but it would take time and effort. Depending on who you go to and how messed up your voice is, you can actually be taught to sing from the very beginning (I'm p sure this is standard in classical but in a more pop-oriented style someone with major fundamental damage would need to do this). It definitely requires good practice (unlike a physical instrument, the voice itself can get tired and so iirc you shouldn't practice for more than an hour straight a day). Don't know if that interests Lana since she wants to see the world and experience life and stuff. I'd love to hear her sound more comfortable on her songs, though. Lana with a vocal coach would be
