did we ever reach a consensus about the legitimacy of the OTTR video?
why did we even begin to call it official? did she upload it onto her personal channel? i mean, on the one hand, its complete and utter trash but on the other, there's still a certain element of 'weirdness' that seems somewhat lana i suppose (see 1:12)
i could never watch it in whole but someone pointed out the girl in the purple dress was in it too and i was curious

yea its nice to see her looking great and
it'd be nice if it stayed that way for as long as possible and i think the best way to do that is to stop putting synthetic materials in your face month after month until people with a keen eye start looking at you like you're slightly disfigured (even if only at certain angles)

..... her nose?
look between her eyes (then) and now. looks like there's a mini inflatable balloon at the top of her bridge whereas before it used to be straight all the way down
\ / shape (now) vs. | | (then) from the repeated collagen injections. it makes her tip look disproportionately small and she needs to be stopped

what the fuck is with the shit between her eyes? stop it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the hair is gorgeous but in the long run no good hair will save her from plastic fuck ups

i love these drunk, airy slut vocals but that 'rap' smh !!!
<--- i feel like this emoticon sums up the song very well -

i think it's both shady and hilarious of her to not wear any makeup to gaga's party, considering the fact that stefani doesn't leave her bedroom unless she's dressed / done up to the fucking nines
it's as if she were saying... it's impossible for me to look like a man
queen of petty calculations!

looks as if she's getting tired of having to leave the house so often
update: here's an image of her standing next to a man over the age of 50

The book rejected to print because the images were copyrighted. This was like 2 months ago. They haven't updated even though they said they would two weeks ago. Idk wtf is going on, I wish they would do regular updates because shit wasn't cheap.
where did u hear this? even though i sort of forgot about it, i'm really annoyed now all of a sudden

in terms of energy and general motivation, yes
though the quality of the music and (some of the) lyrics might still be there, the imagery is part of the overall package and in that area she's fucking up, majorly

like honestly... i imagine this being her legitimate thought process when viewing back the edit:
"hmm... its slow. white. languid! ethereal. angelic. the piano! water. holy? sure."
30 seconds later, after pulling her hand out of the birds nest in father john's corduroys: "...they'll think of death! and resurrection! and baptism! and purity! and like... contradictions! hahaha whatever they'll love it. i mean, its me. plus, all that french new wave shit is typically boring and pointless to the vast majority anyway, so its not like they'll even know the difference"
like, there's nothing beyond a few vague and half assed associations here and it shows. but she looks really good. bitch!
i guess i still have to give her some credit for having the balls to pull this kind of shit though. congratulations on your heavy nut sack, lana

This would have been my reaction 6 months ago. I flipped after the release of HM because I expected her to do something "great", to become the biggest star in the universe just to prove the bullies wrong. I didn't listen to LDR for about two months when accidentally I started to listen again in my car because I forgot to take her cd out. And I liked her voice, is mesmerizing. That was the reason why I followed her in the first place. I started to listen again to HM and I discovered a beautiful record, mellow but with subtle beauty in almost every track.
So who is Lana? The BTD, Blue Jeans vamp or the melancholic/silly girl from her homemade videos? I think that at the beginning of the LDR era she wanted to become a huge pop star but "upon an unfortunate series of events she saw those dreams dashed and divided like a million stars in the night sky" as she say it in the Ride monologue. And slowly she reverted back to her safe place doing strange videos and non-commercial music that we loved from the pre-fame era. But now we are criticizing her to the ground for being herself.
Is this video a great artistic statement? No, but it's beautiful, has a connection with the song, singing about being a freak it's less literal than singing about Jim (Jones), and, despite some of you said, has a story that it's not obvious and it's up for interpretation. Technically it's a mess but without diminishing the beauty of it. If you don't like the Debussy part don't watch it.
right now, she's nothing but a complacent little ho that feels as if she's already made her mark on the industry and thus isn't striving to push herself any further. she's better than the rest and she knows it, but now that everyone else is starting to recognize it too, she doesn't have any of that fire from before; nothing to prove and nothing new to currently say (and it shows, visually, in particular)
she went from piecing mood boards together in order to properly manifest her own self-realizations -- from constructing gorgeously unified visuals to ... this? using fucking scraps from a previous era just because she can? twice! its one thing to set forth with an idea and stick to it mentally or emotionally, but entirely another to just splice random shit together and publish it just because it ~ 'sort of works' ~ ... she's way better than this and so its painfully ironic that the critics no longer have anything negative to say, when the video is honestly trash and deserving of the hate that she would've typically received during the higher points in her career. no intelligence or insight or nuance, just vapid images and a hope for some far-reached analysis of an idea that was clearly never even there to begin with
you say that she doesn't want to be 'pop' but this is the most 'pop' mentality she's had so far in her career; literally cut and rehashed and devoid of feeling. but she knows that as long as its slow and pretty, and set to something * classical *, no one will be able to say anything negative out of fear of seeming ~uncultured~ ; i'm sure her motivations for this were calculated to ensure plausible deniability rather than any artistic growth
i see u bitch! hope this message (or something similar) gets to her ~ cuz she need to step it the fuck uP (or start to outsource)
like honestly, even when she was singing honeymoon last night, she sounded like she was half dead and basically let the crowd sing like 40% of the song. that's pretty much an equivalent metaphor for her visual efforts

that cover was the smartest move i think. its beautiful / painful and she didn't write it, so everyone can pay attention to the dynamism in her voice and all the subtle nuances in dialect, pronunciation; a 180 from what the public would expect -- tru talent
