Saturn

you gotta be kidding me...

Do I think she needs liposuction and a new nose job? Absolutely not, she looked amazing at the Grammy's and everywhere else, street or event-wise

Do I think she's too matronly to sing for a Bond movie or be a bond girl? Not even close, I saw the pre Grammy's party and she looked like she could literally be a bond girl dressed like that. And we have 24 from Honeymoon, so there we go right there

Do I think current Lana is a far cry from the mysterious sex icon she was in 2011? with the auburn hair, songs about running off to the races with older men, and the red stiletto nails? ...I mean yeah I can see that point 

EDIT: I hope no one thinks im trying to trash Lana or defend Azealia; not being a sex symbol isn't a bad thing! 

She's entitled to her opinion but the way she constantly goes after Lana is way too obsessive at this point. It's not "tea", it's just hateful.  

And you're absolutely right, she does tend to take unfair shots at her (like the bowls or flabby arms...  )  I guess hatred is a strong disease- she can't figure out why Lana didn't want to be friends with her, someone who uses racial slurs and f*g in a "feminist way" 

 

 

 

a couple minutes ago from Insta stories

I hate to say it because I love Lana, but... she didn't really lie?     Maybe she went off track towards the end, but the first picture is kinda spot on... 

A.K.A

The headlights from passing cars
They illuminate my face, and
Leave me in the dark

Born To Die 

Likes to watch me in the glass room, bathroom
Chateau Marmont
Slipping on my red dress, putting on my make up
Glass room, perfume, cognac, lilac
Fumes, says it feels like heaven to him

Paradise 

I've seen the world, lit it up
As my stage now
Channeling angels in a new age now

Ultraviolence 

But the other woman will always cry herself to sleep
The other woman will never have his love to keep
And as the years go by the other woman
Will spend her life alone...

Honeymoon

The world can change in a day if you go away, but
Nothing could stop the two of us
If that's what we want, we could just get lost

Lust For Life 

I never really noticed that I had to decide
To play someone's game or live my own life and now I do
I want to move
Out of the black, Into the blue 

Norman Fucking Rockwell 

They mistook my kindness for weakness
I fucked up, I know that, but Jesus
Can't a girl just do the best she can?

Looking at close ups of her... maybe she DID serve tonight... and after staring at the dress for a minute, it's not the worst thing she's ever worn    I think the way the bottom of the dress fits her turns people off along with the short sleeves, but it's a very classy look! I judged too soon

...but the hair is still the greatest loss of them all

i love her but what did she say in that one song? "the greatest loss of them all"? i think that applies to her outfit here

Honorable Mentions

Born To Die by Lana Del Rey

Starfish by The Churches

Vs. by Pearl Jam

Psychedelic Pill by Neil Young

TURN OFF THE LIGHT by Kim Petras

I've been thinking about this for a few months now but I would LOVE to hear her sing Ramada Inn by Neil Young. I can only imagine her singing "Every morning comes the sun // And they both rise into the day // Holding on to what they've done" like it would keep the folk feel she's  trying to do but with really strong guitars

 

123. "Guns and Roses" (2014)

This Ultraviolence bonus track received hate from fans the instant it saw the light of the day. Be it its monotone chorus or extremely sleepy vocals (even for a Lana song), "Guns and Roses" is officially Del Rey's worst original solo song of the 2010s.

 

PARADIXO's commentary: I can see why people don't like it, but I still believe she has worse tracks. The production and its bridge are amazing.

 

 I know I shouldn't be surprised G&R is THIS low, but to think my favorite song lost to Coachella and In My Feelings...   and then to find out my second favorite, Diet Mountain Dew, was ranked not too far above        At least Is This Happiness made the Top 50 

That CNBC headline made me wince, the media is already in full reactionary propaganda mode. Before a few days ago, a great majority of Americans didn't know who General Soleimani was. Now he's "The World's No 1 Bad Guy"? Is the United States really viewed as any better, or ..? 

You're scared to win, scared to lose, I heard the war was over if you really choose

I can feel it coming in the air tonight

See you walking on that blue Pacific

I can see you bathing in the summer light

Turning tan and you look terrific

She should have stopped in 2012. She looked perfect in 2012 even as far as 2015. Nice lip fillers, nice nose shape, natural looking. 

 

The past two years have been tragic. She's destroying her own face. 

 

I wonder what ever happened? Like if she switched surgeons or if her (old or new) surgeon screwed up and gave her a lump in the middle of her lip and couldn't fix? I know it happened between September 5th and September 15th of 2015, because when she went to the UK to do sing those Honeymoon songs, her lips just changed. 

I watched the video without sound while watching Naked And Afraid, thought it was cute. I mean it was obviously poorly made and kind of just a collage of nothing, but she was smiling and laughing, so it's cute i guess

Probably will never acknowledge watch it again like anything else from this era, but it was cute none the less. REALLY think Bartender would've done well with homemade visuals of her (and the dancers) in black dresses in her house listening to music and driving around the Malibu beachfront for the first verse, and then wearing white dresses and drinking tea and doing the meditating thing for the second verse? Just to match the song? Dressed up in 70's attire that we KNOW she owns? But what she did was cute for her

(Guns and Roses has went from my least favorite on UV to my most favorite, i didnt think it was possible  )

As unlikely as I think it is, MAYBE she'll move deeper into Folk Rock? I know she said she was going to stay in the same realm, but since she seems to still interested in folk, maybe that'd be the next step (or the sound she had on SOTW, I guess). It isn't an entirely new genre, it would just build off the sound she's sort of used for songs like Heroin and California? 

I'm just hoping she gives us something like 'Like A Hurricane' by Neil Young, hearing her low voice in Wicked Games makes me want the rock back
