I must be the only one who sees no similarities between Lorde and Lana. It's obvious with Swift but imo Lorde's image and sound is completely different from Lana's

Hm, am I the only one who's not happy with her collaboration with The Weeknd? I'm rather disappointed to be honest. I mean as much as I love her billboard time and pretty much love everything she does, just not this one. Her part in the track is fine, I don't mind it. It's just that dude's music production and his singing disgusted me. It's so mainstream and such a sellout. I wish Lana didn't collaborate with him. Don't get me wrong, I do think very highly of her though. Just not this one.

LMAOOOO

What if with every each track that goes, the album becomes faster and faster.
Then, when the interlude begins, the tracks that coming right after will begin fast but will become slower and slower every each one of them?

missed this great post. yes agree totally with you..lol.. welcome to the nut house.
 
oh yes she influenced, Stevie and Etta  too.. they actually copied her writings they saw in prophetic dreams..
everyone will talk about in 1200 years from now..

I don't know where else to write this, but I've been here for a couple of months and I've noticed how many pretentious people there seem to be here, and people are always trying to connect Lana's inspirations to something from the past, oftentimes so irrelevant to her music and to what she writes about. Can't wait until someone claims that she's written a song about the diary entries of a Nazi officer or something

I saw China palace mention that Lana wants to make Honeymoon a visual album. It would be awesome if she made a video for every song, but I'd literally die if she made a video for Art Deco. It would be so perfect, she could shoot a video in Miami amongst all those beautiful Art Deco hotels

but ed is shit, so who cares

like she says she doesn't care about being famous at all but when the tour money starts running low and she can't afford those private plane rides to carrozzini's italian love dungeon she gon wish she promoted

omg i remember it leaking, i was on vacation in a place with horrible connection listening to the songs on high pitch (cause of copy rights) on youtube

knowing that lana didnt want franco to release a book about her made him a million times more annoying and untolerable

Honestly, they're my favourite bits 

...isn't a new snippet news tho, wtf

I do prefer the dark hair! Honestly I loved UV's hair but that's just me lol.

I understand some people don't like Lorde, but there's no need to call her a "media whore" or even an imitation of Lana. She started out online and people found her songs and liked them, and Royals became popular. Just as Lana started out online and became popular with Video Games. The only difference is Lorde had label backing when she was putting her stuff online and when she dropped Royals as a single. What did she imitate? Singing in a low register? Lana didn't invent that. Hip-hop beats? Lana certainly didn't invent that. Her fashion style is very different, so it can't be that. Concretely, what is "every single thing" about Lana that she copied? 
 
Lorde doesn't even sing about the same topics as Lana. BTD was mostly love songs while Pure Heroine was about a fear of growing up and disillusioned youth. She didn't "name drop" Lana, she mentioned one time that she (along with Drake and Nicki Minaj) sang about inaccessible topics, such as having a Bugatti Veyron, and also mentioned she didn't like the "I'm nothing without you" theme that permeates Lana's music because of how submissive it is. I don't agree with her in those cases (and I don't really like her that much), but some of these accusations of "copying" Lana are groundless.
 
As for why the media didn't tear her apart, it's pretty simple. One, Lorde was 16 back then, and people adore "child prodigies" as well as having reservations about destroying teenagers. Two, Lorde hadn't tried out other aliases before. Unfortunately, the media took Lana's withdrawing of AKA as an attempt to hide a failed project and not an attempt to get rid of a project that had been delayed and she no longer cared about. She had a different style back then too. Her father being rich (and he is rich) was the cherry on top of the sundae: rich girl Lizzy Grant changes name to Lana Del Rey and vamps it up to hide failed past album. Lorde didn't have that kind of media ammo in her past (probably because, once again, she was 16).
 
It's unfortunate that Lana was torn apart, and I, too, was pressed when Lorde was getting the acclaim I felt Lana deserved, but this isn't some conspiracy or Lorde "playing into" the game. Sometimes things don't work out. Ultimately, Lana is still here, she's making music, and she's got a solid audience, and we should focus on that instead of whinging about how unfairly the media treated her. We can't change that. But we can change the future. (of course, this won't happen if she cancels half her promo like she did in the last days of UV, but details, details!) You don't have to tear down other artists to build Lana up. Fans of Lana already have a reputation as being whiny and prone to finding any remotely similar thing and shouting "obvious Lana inspiration!!1!" All it does is make us look insecure.
 
This is the only thing she's ever said about who FMWUTTT was based off:
"It’s about a singer who first sneered about my allegedly not authentic style but later she stole and copied it. And now she’s acting like I am the art project and she the true super artist. My God and people actually believe her, she’s successful! I shouldn’t continue ranting, it doesn’t get anywhere."
 
 
I honestly can't think of a major pop star who publicly "sneered" at Lana and then started saying she was an artist. When I read this, the "true super artist" thing immediately reminded me of Gaga. They started out in the same scene, and clearly Lana did not like her (though we don't know what Gaga thought of her). A year before UV was released, Gaga released ARTPOP and mentioned putting art in pop all the time in her interviews. However, I don't think Gaga has ever so much as mentioned Lana publicly, and I don't think you can say Gaga "copied" Lana unless you think Lana also owns brown hair. It doesn't sound like Lorde because there's clear cause and effect here - first she sneered about Lana's inauthentic style, later she stole and copied it. By the time Lorde was getting public attention and mentioned Lana, she already had her sound developed. So who the heck, in 2014, was Lana talking about? Who knows with her.

This era is a mess. At least with UV we had wacko interviews and cancelled promo.
 
Someone call her
 

I suppose I may come off as shady because I cannot really 100% relate to this fandom, but I do love Lana so I like to come to this forum
