that would’ve been the collapse of the year

replacing bartender with a cinnamon girl would be enough, I think

I feel bad for L4na. I’ve been saying this, but she’s not taking good care of her health/voice, and it’s now catching up to her. The tone of her voice has changed. I’ve said this already, she’s been struggling to sing deeper live. She has to sing higher all the time and the tone of her head voice has changed to become not very pleasant. She’s also struggling to even finish a full verse of a song in 2024. This is probably a lungs capacity issues. In 2014, she was still smoking, but she was also in her 20s. The stamina was there because of youth. I’m watching her old performances from the last time she was at Coachella. And there was no stage fright. She was very comfortable on stage. Absolutely just vibing and really feeling her music. She sang every word to every song. No backup singers. No dancers or production. She was so natural and not awkward at all. Her movements and the way she sang were very artful and dramatic and quite beautiful. It complimented the performance. 

Where’s the stage fright or shyness there???? Like the “Born To Die” performance there is just so captivating. Her movements, the hands, and everything. It’s like she’s performing and feeling the music and interpreting it LIVE with her gestures. No dancers, no backup singers, no back vocals, nothing. It’s just her performing. And “National Anthem”? She ate that up henny. There was no choregraphy, but she still ate that up. Just vibing to the music. She was literally walking around all over the place. Off the stage too. Just feeling the music.
 
She sang with so more much passion and conviction even when it doesn’t sound perfect 100% of the time. She also did interesting ad-libs to songs and played with the melodies at the right spots to pique people’s interest. And she knew how to end the songs and gave each song a proper climax with her voice, gestures or with the instrumentations. She was just really vibing with her own music. You can hear it, and you can feel it. It radiates to you as a viewer as well. She’s feeling her music, and you feel it.
 
Now fast forward to 2024, it’s very weird because it’s like it’s not the same person anymore. It’s actually shocking how much has changed. Her whole demeanor is not even the same anymore. Like even the way she walks and the way she speaks. It just seems like she’s completely disconnected to the music. She seems so lost on stage. I don’t understand. The vibes and the energy are so off. It’s so bizzare to me because she’s way more timid and insecure than she was back then in 2014. The L4na at 2024 Coachella is very similar to the L4na at that Grammy stage when T4ylor dragged her there (just standing shy at the back) and also very similar to the first MITA festival. People keep saying how she has always been a shy performer, but even the SNL performance, which wasn’t the greatest vocally (I do think part of her nerves affected her vocals there), she wasn’t timid and did not look timid at all there.
 
 

Anyone who is in charge of marketing, merch, social media etc

oh.. yeah that part definitely need a rebrand 

Some of these nasty reviews are making me so sad. To me, Lana is a star akin to older generations—when musicians didn’t spend months training, both physically and vocally, for a show or tour, but showed up as they were, just to sing, without all of the fanfare. I absolutely appreciate spectacles like the Eras tour and Beychella, etc., those are masterful feats of artistry and intense preparation, but I just don’t feel like that’s what Lana’s after. Obviously I don’t know her personally, but to me, she’s more of a songwriter and poet who probably prefers a normal, delicate, relaxed existence (exemplified by her appearing at random garden stores and coffee shops along the California coast). I think she probably still battles stage fright, and I’m really amazed and proud that she signed up to do these two shows. After writing music so different from—and changing the sound of—the industry over the past 10 years+, it’s really cool to see her finally get her flowers as the headliner and do it in her own way. Maybe a massive arena-style stage isn’t the kindest venue for her talents and unique energy, but she did it in her own way, with heart and absolute style. I’m proud to be a fan and it’s not surprising to see these reviews (ahem, Guardian) revert to their 2014 tone. 

you can’t be the same after 10 years, i am not the same person, you aren’t the same person and lana isn’t the same person. that’s all 

One thing I’d love L4na to add back to her shows is playing instruments. “Yayo” with the guitar absolutely ate. She probably hasn’t played a guitar in years now, but she needs to add that back in. If she’s rusty, train/rehearse more. I don’t think most of the general public/people know she plays guitar. It would be nice to add that back in to showcase her talent and to add even more variety. 
 
Because right now her show is a like pop show with dancers, and I don’t think that’s the right approach. It’s like a pop singer with choreography. She’s making herself look like one of those pop/rap stars with choreography which is not what she is at all.

the grammys posted the artists of weeknd 1 but didn't post Lana... these motherfuck***

collaboration?

the desert sun said that lana’s entrance was the best of all times 

They’re shady af 
I don’t want to hear anybody crying about this scam organization anymore 

The Grammys not including Lana in their Coachella post is insane she's literally the headliner https://www.instagram.com/p/C5t1OthR2_I/?igsh=MW1mbXc1cTRzeGtwMQ==

FUCK ELON MUSK


 

 

Didn’t Elon post some random Off to the Races Harley Quinn music video once? Now he’s liking this? I just KNOW he has a micropenis. And this Mary Morgan bitch is some pick me conservative “pop culture” critic. These people deserve to be ignored or made fun of.

Sorry if this has been posted before but I just read NME's review of the show and really liked it. The last sentence sums it all up tbh:
 
It’s clear redemption is not the theme of the night but a celebration of a star who always stays true to herself.
 
 
 
 

Magazines that have praised lana’s performance :
1- Billboard
2- Rolling Stone
3- People
4- Variety 
5- NME
 
Magazines that dragged lana’s performance 
1- Guardians 
2- LanaBoards
 

@dat1guitarcunt needs to fucking go away. Lana need to block + restraining order

I know it’s childish/immature of me, but the fact that the entire comment section is people calling them out for not including Lana gives me such satisfaction. 
 
how are you going to post about day one and not post about the HEADLINER 

Blue really is her colour. The dress is so gorgeous.

The way Mexico's City N1 still has the best setlist from this era (and crowd along with MITA)

I spoke up for Palestine. I don’t believe in genocide. I know he’s Jewish and that’s completely fine, but yeah he blocked me cause I spoke against the genocide that is happening to Palestinians. I love Palestinians and love Jewish people. HATE the Israeli government and what they continue to do. That’s all I’m gonna say cause this is the Coachella thread. But just so people know where I stand ❤️
 
now back OT, I am really hoping for a FJM duet next weekend. LTLI is one of those songs that just screams ‘summer’ and it’s beautiful! Has anyone found the blue dress she wore yet? I neeeeeeed it
