Is the stage just for lana and supporting acts? It's gorgeous!

Tell me how Riopy does . . It would be exciting to listen when he does his supporting act, and likely joins Lana.

Cool experience!

Finally the fans calm down at the halfway mark!

Full song Debut Chemtrails Over the Country Club at Lido di Camaiore in Toscana, Italy.on July 2nd, 2023 Credits: Fan cam left Rob MC99 on yt or Lanaboards' own @orlando Fan cam right peppedelrey on yt Alex is no longer just Alex or Alex Kaye to me, she is THE Miss Alex Kaye . . . innovator in choreo. It is obvious working for Lana was never a job . . . Alex has to be a fan to be inspired to come up with great choreo like the debut above.

My coffee needs something to go with it . . . like the full show in Dublin! Yay!

Relaxing with a cup of coffee, here is a sweet booklet of one minute video snippets from yesterday from Ludmila Rocha on IG. Plus there are several more, if you explore her IG: https://www.instagram.com/p/CucWEo5oKKu/

This anecdote is out of the blue, but it belongs on this thread . . . Tuesday, "sister" and I conducted a Bible study with a friend over her smartphone, conference-style, while the sister and I were logged onto zoom, but were muted. All was good, until another what we call publisher phoned into zoom using her phone, not the zoom login. She crashed our conference call! The private phone call with the three of us all of a sudden had the zoom phone-in lady, AND the entire zoom group on our line! It is all spy-ware. I would caution against the new app, esp. since there is a strong connection with IG. Most of you enjoy IG. Why should you have to delete everything? Plus, Musk's enemies are trying to shame and put him out of business. It is undemocratic. The lady whose smart phone we were conference calling and I logged off of zoom. Then it was just the three of us again.

What?

Do you think it could be both? Maybe the irony how infatuation is a mirage . . .

Oops! Wrong thread.

Lana used her lower register on the Grants at the start of the verse - so lovely.

Fans still uploading to youtube, so keep checking . . . Rick Jensen uploaded 22, hours ago, then 13 hours, ago, then 8 hours ago: https://www.youtube.com/@TRS2PSV/videos Here a fan collected snippets of Chemtrails in Amsterdam . . . The middle one is what I need dead center for an overview of the choreo . . . I am certain you agree. It is only one minute: https://www.instagram.com/p/CuUuaFVOg53/

Just burst into tears reading your interpretation! Okay. *sniff* Lana stans came through. You did very good! Here is a 3rd complete Ocean Blvd from Amsterdam . . . Still couldn't make out the end, until the lyrics you supplied!

Can you make out these lyrics at the very end of Ocean Blvd, please? Ty. I don't forget Night full of stars ...... Don't forget me but I have a feeling that the sunrise (?)

Thanx for that, @takemybreath! What I need, please, is first names caption for the image. Ty.

Thanx, that!

Thanx, @PARADIXO inhaled those nicely worded reviews! How cool is it to have the Best Albums of 2023 So Far summaries in one place! I didn't read some reviews where Ocean received less than five stars, because I thought they're phony, condescending. So I enjoyed your synopses.

Thanx! What a response! You said it lovely, too. Love Lanaboards, love ya. Another quote I appreciate from youtube is: "A&W is a masterpiece for the feminine pain." Lana is the only one I listen to . . . but I am happy Caroline Polachek made the list, because I respect her as an artist. Caroline posted an acoustic set to youtube during the pandemic. Caroline's untreated voice shines! Happy Chris made the list, but I can't read or listen to or watch anything by Chris for a while! Some artists I feel I have an emotional connection with . . . Even if it is only in my mind (full delulu), if the relationship goes south, I have to take a time-out . . . Also heard good things about other artists on the list . . . Finally I listened to SOS via Jayll. I guess SOS came out last year. Sza isn't my cup of tea, except Nobody Gets Me, the folky guitar song . . . Not to detract from fans of Sza. I can't listen to auto tune vocals. That's why Charlie XCX I tried, I gave her a shot when she performed for PBS. She has the ABILITY. She can sing. She can hit notes. But she messes up her sound with auto tune. Nasty. Auto tune sounds offensive, to me. Nobody Gets Me lyric mirrors Lana's experience with her almost fiance: Took me out to the ballet You proposеd, I went on the road You was feelin' empty so you lеft me This has to be what happened! It is rarified to be as successful as Sza and Lana are in the music business . . . yet keep their authenticity . . . and to contemplate a life-changing proposal! Because so few women are successful on that level - good AND original - they owe it to their public to not trash their careers. Yet the male ego is fragile - tough as men may want to appear. They crumble if it takes time to get back with an answer! Glad I am not in Lana's or Sza's shoes!

Chris Willman's brief review left me crying . . . so elegant and understated . . . It is a summary of how the fans feel. At least the older ones, like me. I looked up Chris Willman on twitter, and he is not just out of college. This review is finer than any AOTY award. So beautifully expressed, what is in this Lana stan's heart from start "There's dynamite in this tunnel" to finish: "Lana Del Rey, accused for so long of striking a pose, may ironically have established herself as the most naked, least affected pop superstar we have right now": If the mods want to place this post in the Ocean Blvd Post Release thread, I can appreciate that. But this summary captures Ocean Blvd album so well, I thought it deserves its own topic . . . Let me quote "Is this her masterpiece to date? It might be."
