Yeah, I can imagine something like this:
Lana: "Let's do a new one!"
The public is going apeshit
Lana facing her band asking rhetorically: "We never did this one?"
Band: "No"
Lana singing an a capella "version" of LiB just 1 verse and the chorus
Lana laughing awkwardly to the public and sticking cutely her tong out
The first rows are going apeshit
Lana: "Let's do Carmen"

THIS IS WHY I LEAVE THE FANBASE EVERY YEAR TBH

I'm more certain about what I don't want from HM. Lana is capable of writing great lyrics. So I don't want any abuse of Americana on this, icon name-dropping (Elvis, Marilyn etc.), red dresses, daddies, pale moon lights, bodies downtown (I really hate this), heavens. Sound-wise I don't want a slow and languid record without any edge to it (UV was slow but cool). I hope on HM I will not listen to bridgeless songs and weak (1 word) choruses.

I have some negativity to vent out.
 
 
She seems to me stuck in the same "I don't care attitude" that characterized the UV era. I didn't mind that much that she didn't do promo for her work but I was bummed because she canceled her shows and gave those random interviews. I get that she was depressed, I blamed Barrie for that, but obviously Francesco changed little in her, she's depressed as ever, at least so it seems from her public appearances of lately. So I have low expectations from this era regarding videos and performances which is a bummer for those who cannot see her on tour.
 
 
And regarding her upcoming tour I don’t understand who had this “brilliant” idea to put her show in 20.000 venues?! She sounded best with the stripped back sound with strings on the European tour, in small venues where she was mostly surrounded by her fans who loved her and didn’t nitpick on her performance and her voice could fill the room. She loves to meet her fans but she’s seems uncomfortable on stage. Smaller venues were ideal for her: meeting your hardcore fans and singing along with them.
 
But in a 20.000 venue?! There will be 3-5 thousand Lana fans and 15000 casual concert goers who will certainly not like that her show is very short and monotone with no encore, will not like her wanderings in the first row for 10 minutes for taking presents and selfies or her uneven vocals and lack of engagement with the audience. I’m a fan and I can watch her talk silly things for an hour and I enjoy it, but I would never accept an attitude like hers in concerts from anyone else.
 
 
So if she didn't changed her show, frankly with her “I don’t care” attitude I don’t expect any changes, there is a potential that her shows will be greatly criticized in reviews and that will do a greater damage than SNL for her public perception and career.
 
This is shaping up like another forced misstep in her career like SNL was when her management forced her to perform when she clearly wasn’t prepared to take that huge pressure on her. Economically is a short sighted planning to cash in. I would have increased the ticket prices instead and I would kept her show in 5-7 thousand venues. But it seems to me that Mawson wants to cash in (from what I know Interscope it’s not involved in her tour) and he convinced her that this is a good move for her career. Imagine Lana with the cigarette (in her last picture with the boys), where the “I don’t care” attitude is evident, coming on stage and entertaining 20000 plus people. There she will not be worshiped by the audience, she’ll have to entertain those people a concept that she doesn't fully grasp yet.
 
 
I hope that I’m wrong and she'll have a great tour and she'll obliterate with her performance everything that I said and I will happily eat my words

I'm not here for her debuting a single during her forthcoming concerts. Low quality footage will be on all of the music blogs and the proper video will come out one month later. Better for her (not for us) to start the new era after the tour or even in autumn and handle it properly. She had recently many medium to low profile releases BE, ICF, WFL and LiB and they just pile up and not in a good way.   

I think they mean it's a difference between stating your opinion and bashing something to the ground and acting like your personalopinion is a fact. Some members here love to do this. 
But I agree, Lanas behaviour is more than unpleasant since UV. Cancelling last minute withou even apologising and not giving her fans anything apart the record itself os super weak. And I think all those "Lana needs no promo she just does her thing" fans need to sit down. Promo's not just about sales but about giving your fans something to hear/see. And the way she acts when it comes to LIB is unbearable aswell.
 
I love Lanas music but her diva-allures are annoying as fuck. I'll defend her when so called critics bully her for no reason but if she's critisized for her recent behaviou, people have every right to do so

I don't want to criticize her yet although LiB can be declared officially as a mess (I hope that has little to do with HM).
 
I defended her cause online more than her stupid team did just because I felt that she was unfairly bullied and she has real talent. I like her and her music, but I'm not a mindless fan that can be annoyed for ever and she has to make it up for us for the botched UV era. I don't mind her not doing promo but I'm not here for random and embarrassing behavior (interviews). I still have a great faith in her musical prowess and I expect a good album.
 
I agree with most of what you said but I don't think that Lana can be compared with Taylor or Perry. Those girls perform their music unafraid and reach huge audiences and we know that Lana doesn't do that. Lana's not a natural exhibitionist, she's not a willing performer and she has a schizophrenic relationship with fame: she wants it at some level but she doesn't like the things that she has to do to attained it (so I think that even she renounced the idea to be a huge mainstream star and it's fine by me). 
 
But, Rita Ora would perform LiB on any television show available, and, sadly for us, Lana didn't do it. That's the difference between having confidence on stage and being managed by Jay Z. I would love to see her perform again on television tbh

i just hope her team gets their shit together and doesn't repeat the messy West Coast and UV releases.

She's messy but that's one reason why I love her. She had/has piss poor management in my opinion, no vision, no planning, no execution, they just fucked up the UV era tbh. That's why she's facinating: is she who's calling the shots and therefore she is responsible for all the messy situations she's getting into or is she maneuvered by someone like Mawson and others like him? Certainly I cannot blame Mawson, no matter how I hate the guy, for the MM rape video... Maybe LiB was a quick payola for promo, maybe we get a video soon, you'll never know. Fingers crossed that they don't mess up the HM era but what I really care about is the music and not her business choices.
 
LiB seems to be a fitting soundtrack for the movie but nothing more, that's why is disappointing that her management didn't put the song on the movie's soundtrack.

TheWrap is talking about Lana's video "Life Is Beautiful" that she posted on her social media accounts to boost the movie. My feeling is that this is a late contribution of hers with Heath for the movie and will end up as a bonus track on HM like BB on UV. That's why the song didn't appeared on the movie's soundtrack. It's less likely that she sacrificed an important track (single) from HM to promote the movie. I don't think that HM will sound like LiB tbh
