PARADIXO

Hmmm... Pebe co-wrote some of Kesha's song so I think she had some kind of "contract" too?

Not really. She literally couldn't do anything, her contract was just terrible. She is/was the only artist signed to Kemosabe Records (Dr. Luke's label) and she is/was his main source of money. "Ke$ha" wasn't even her name, it was Luke's. Now she's just "Kesha". I'm happy that she didn't have to make a big change in her stage name, it would be a real mess.

I didn't know that about Chris Brown  I mean, I didn't know he was "banned" in some countries.
 
Gaga has never worked with Dr. Luke, but I think she meet him. Gaga is a "good friend" of Kesha and I think she knew all her story with Luke so that's why she made the Do What U Want video. The story of the video fits with all this mess, and that's why Gaga said "the world isn't ready for the DWUW video". Idk, but I'm happy that the video never came out cause it was going to be a HUGE mess.

I've been reading a lot about this and yes, it's terrible. Dr Luke is not just a shit hit-maker/record producer, he's a horrible person. He's an authoritarian and he wants to control everything - Britney Spears' Femme Fatale, Miley Cyrus' most famous singles, Katy Perry's career, etc. I do believe in Kesha, she's not a drama queen and she never really wanted lots of attention. It's so sad because she is so talented. She can sing, write, produce and she has such a nice personality. 
 
I don't think Lukasz will go to jail. Look at R. Kelly, some rumors say that he raped teenagers and he's still there... releasing albums, videos, performing. But I do hope he loses his job... it would be immoral if someone wants to work with him after all this freaking mess. Good luck, K$!
 
P.S.: Wow at Gaga supporting her 

This is just too iconic

Only Jack 

I loved every song except "Immortal". Can't wait for "Weeds", I loved the lyrics.

"For all of you @LykkeLi fans... I'm playing with her at The @Cosmopolitan_LV on April 14th. I believe I'll be playing the whole album..."

did you just @ yourself

I'm not expecting deep lyrics from Tay, I'm expecting a happy song that I can jam out to. 

I usually don't do something like this, because i think it's super shallow but ... you are a Swift fan and talk about deep lyrics and interesting metaphors?

GREAT INTERVIEW LONGTIMEMAN, you're amazing. It seems like we have lots of things in common! And I fucking love women's hair too Hottest thing ever.

I hope it is a joke...

Her choruses are never as repetitive as you guys wanna pass off (unless we're talking about Guns and Roses)
 
Y'all conveniently forget the whole "He's got the fire" part of Sad Girl I see

I want Honeymoon to be like The New Classic !! ;'))

she already did bro

UV is the better album but Born to Die is, just like Hello Heaven said, ICONIC and the era was everything

This week, Lana Del Rey's first major release, Born to Die, turns 3. Definitely the fans' favorite era, the album was promoted with eight singles, a big amount of beautiful videos that went incredibly viral on Tumblr, two tours, interviews, a re-release/EP, a short film and more. The album sold more than 5 million copies and it's still charting all around the world. It was met with mixed reviews from critics, but half of them were paying attention to Del Rey's personal life instead of the album itself. Now that we're in 2015, Born to Die is among Billboard's best albums of the decade (so far) and it is waiting for more magazines and half-decade lists to praise it just like it deserves.   "Born to Die", the album's second single is the perfect opener – sonically and thematically. You can hear the beautiful violins and loud trip hop beats while she's singing about a young girl fantasizing and trying to survive in a world of dangerous, drug addict men. The song peaked at No. 9 in the UK and its iconic video was an internet sensation. The first promo single and fan-favorite "Off to the Races" is a masterpiece in terms of production and lyrics. While the title track is slow and depressive, "Off to the Races" is a violent alt-hip hop song about an "old bad man" and her sick relationship with him. The lyrics are more than romantic or sexual – they express how maddening love can be. The story-teller "Blue Jeans" features one of the most interesting lyrics from the album. This aggressive trip hop/soft rock song was released as the third single, accompanied by two videos. The first one is a home-made vintage film while the second is a beautifully directed, black and white work of art with a deep meaning. "Blue Jeans" became a Top 40 hit in some Europe countries and it is, without a doubt, one of Lana's most memorable songs/videos. We need to take a moment to think about the perfection of "Video Games", the album's lead single. The mystery behind it and its iconic video. The Top 10 hit was the beginning of a worldwide star, the creation of something important. It was just a simple yet intriguing video, but the whole Internet was talking about it. The majestic melody, romantic lyrics and powerful chorus make "Video Games" her best ballad. Going back to the trip hop/alternative hip hop sound, "Diet Mountain Dew" is a sexy retro song about a pretty girl wondering if her love for this bad man will last forever. The fifth single, "National Anthem", was a commercial failure due its lack of airplay and performances. Its lyrics are clever and open to a big amount of interpretations. In the controversial, high-budget video, Lana plays Marilyn Monroe and Jacqueline Kennedy, while American rapper ASAP Rocky is JFK. It was named one of the best music videos of the decade. "Dark Paradise" was released as the sixth single in order to promote the album, its re-release and the Paradise Tour. Just like the rest of the album, "Dark Paradise" has a very melancholic and dramatic melody. Its music video never saw the light of the day. "Radio" is probably the only optimistic song on Born to Die. The lyrics discusses themes such as hard-working, fame and overcoming. With "Carmen", the second promo single, the album goes back to its dark sound – but this one is definitely the darkest. Del Rey sings about this 17-year old girl Carmen that everybody loves with soft and gloomy trip hop beats in the background. "You said I was the most exotic flower," is the opening line of the jazzy "Million Dollar Man". The fans love when Lana performs this song live – it's an even jazzier version and her vocals are almost always on point (and sometimes they're just funny). The worldwide hit, "Summertime Sadness" is the eleventh song on Born to Die, and the second co-written by the amazing Rick Nowels. The indie pop/trip hop/shoegazing ballad was a hit in Europe in 2012 – it reached the No. 1 spot in Poland and became the 21st best-selling single in the UK that year. In 2013, French DJ Cedric Gervais had his breakthrough with his first single; a Grammy-winning progressive house remix of Lana's "Summertime Sadness". Both the original version and the remix were Top 10 hits in North America, Oceania, South America and Europe. The last song on the standard edition of Born to Die is the rebellious "This Is What Makes Us Girls". The outro of the song is just an epic way to end this incredible album. The deluxe version includes the ballads "Without You" and "Lucky Ones" and the sexy "Lolita".

That's funny because her voice in that song was exactly what made me fall in love with her. I remember when I saw a pic of her in October 2011 and I thought she was like so hot... I read some stuff about her and I didn't want to listen to her music. I watched the Video Games video on MTV at 5a.m. and I kinda liked it but I was so tired so i didn't really pay attention. And then I listened to Born to Die (song) and when I first heard her voice singing "feet don't fail me now..." I was like I was like wow, I fell in love.

Something tells me that this album ain't happening. I also wonder why Mark Ronson didn't want to say a thing about it. Auerbach was way more open about being the producer for an album

Olympic gold medalist decathlete Bruce Jenner's transition from male to female has got nothing on yours from feline to canine.

It's not supposed to be funny, it's just how I feel! Leave me alone, go yawn to Banks all you want.
