PARADIXO

He used to call me D.N., that stood for Dumbass :)

You just wrote something really interesting. 
 
Oh and what Miss America said it's just a Lady Gaga quote lmao

Oh come on. I'm not Me. I Am Mariah, you don't gotta do me like that.
Again, research. Britney's label completely took over and destroyed her last record.
You don't seem interested in discussing it tho so I'll leave it at that.

You guys saying "She's just starting it's too early to tell"
 
Jeff Buckley only ever released one album
He's considered the greatest folk singer that ever lived.
 
So far she has released albums that, in my opinion, will go on to receive classic status, but that wouldn't necessarily make her an icon. One thing that all icons hold in common is they all have a distinctive look and style and made a big impact to music (or whatever they specialised in) in their time that has lasted for decades. Lana has both of these things going for her (wether her impact shall last as long as other iconic musicians I cannot say) She also is controversial in the media for her views (or, ya' know, boredom) on topical issues. Yes, a lot of you may argue that her answers to questions regarding delicate issues have often been downright stupid, but overall in the way she acts and leads her life and how she portrays herself I think she's revolutionising feminism so that now many women don't feel like they have to live an entirely independent life to be considered smart, strong women and if they prefer a sexual dominance from their partner they won't be made to feel like "freaks" or "sluts"
 
People also call her a bad influence on young female listeners but really that's just sexually uptight idiots and male chauvinists that think singing about your weaker, less empowering experiences is inappropriate.
 
She's also polarising amongst critics and BTD was WIDELY hated amongst American critics although it received a strong critical reaction in Europe. If you ask me in years to come critics will realise they unfairly dismissed her and her music will receive the classic status it so thoroughly deserves.
 
Add onto all this the fact that she is gorgeous and much like other icons (Dylan, Monroe) she changed her name to fit better her style and imagery and yes, Lana does have strong potential as an icon, if any of what I just wrote makes sense that is...

She is an icon. Why? She has very early in her career, established a style in terms of looks, video & music that people recognize. She has very, very early on in her career established a very devoted fanbase which is quite big and global. 
 
She is doing lots this era that maybe does affect her status, but overall she is doing fine.
 
You don't have to have a career for 10, 15 or 20 years to be an icon. After such a long time, the word "diva" is probably more appropriate.
 
And what the heck is it with you people to bring up FKA Twigs in this discussion here? She has just started and is plummeting down the charts in her 2nd chart week.
 
And somebody posted that Britney has revolutionized pop music? With what? Don't get me wrong, Britney is an icon, but because of her lack of involvment in her music in every aspect of the game, she will never reach the status of some other female singers.
 
Lana has impacted the charts worldwide with a very distinctive image. Something Marina for instance can only dream of.

By "icon" I don't mean the new Britney Spears, or Madonna, or something like that. What I actually mean is that she's an icon of this generation, the internet/digital era. We don't know if she will get bigger in, I don't know, 10 years. I'm just talking about this decade. But I kind of agree with you guys

Just considering LDR's physicality, she looks, imo, like she's from the same planet as Marilyn, or posesses an advanced degree in Monroeness. This is in contrast to Madonna dressing up as Marilyn, which just looks like that. Maybe LDR's photographic history (the amount of images she has relative to everyone else) supports a glamor icon view of her.
 
On the other hand, when one says someone's an icon, one typically means it as an icon for something. So Marilyn is an icon for (dumb, smart, and/or glamorous) blondes. Elvis is an icon for (uninhibited/talented/dumb) males. Or whatever. So what should LDR be an icon for? This seems like the more relevant question. The "what is she an icon for now?" question depends on whether one knows her music well.  If LDR goes on to grow as an artist and duplicates the creativity of her last 10 years, it will not be possible to selectively ignore her artistic side, and this would undoubtedly make her an icon for something, or perhaps an iconoclast relative to pop music. It is this sense that I hope she becomes more "iconic". 
 
 
Also:
@ : "She is every icon".
 
I interpret this as: she dwells on "the past" (including past icons) and so is kind of a meta-icon, which is a neat role in pop. LDR's interest in the past keeps us aware of both artistic progress and regression, which is a good thing. For instance, I wasn't aware of The Doors or Jeff Buckley prior to LDR's saying she liked them. By making me aware and by my becoming more familiar with these artists, she has raised the bar on artistic accomplishment both for herself and everybody else, imo.

She is every icon

Only in terms of style imo
 
What are y'all bringing up FKA twigs for?

But what is an icon? #controversial

Her official slot is Saturday, Sept 20 from 6:45-8, right before Eminem

NOT "Mother Russia" serving an instrumental worthy of Björk's Vespertine
 
Also I really enjoyed the unreleased, but the fact that they are all chopped to be like 2/3 of the song pisses me off ughhhh. Better than not having them at all I guess though.

No she didn't put those tracks on purpose, some people discovered that old acc and it seems like she doesn't remember the password so they're still there lol.

I wonder why she would upload snippets of old songs then. Unless it's a fan account, but honestly I don't believe she's no where near big enough to have fans with unreleased material.

Remarkable Affair thoooo         
I'm in love 

Fe is a British indie singer-songwriter. She's also a photographer and and film/music video director. Her real name is Maria Knights and her age is unknown. Fe's first official release was "Let It Go", on February 20th, 2013. The song was written by her and produced - supposedly - by Alex da Kid (Eminem, Imagine Dragons, Avril Lavigne and more). "Let It Go" on YouTube | SoundCloud
 
On April 1st, 2013, she released a second song - the beautiful, haunting "Remarkable Affair". Vogue used the song for a fashion film directed by Mario Testino. Both tracks received positive reviews from indie music critics. "Remarkable Affair" on YouTube
 
Her music, voice and looks were compared to Mazzy Star, Fiona Apple and Lykke Li. Months later, Fe released the dark, soft, relaxing "Mother Russia" and "Giddy Up", her sexiest track. "Mother Russia" on SoundCloud | "Giddy Up" on YouTube
