First impression of Lana?

[Trash Magic 28,426]

I think my exact comment was "She's so hot!! :drool: "

[DUKE 2,530]

I am ashamed to admit it, but when I saw her for the first time and read her name, I thought: "Oh look, another Mediterranean pop export from Spain trying to make it in the UK after her record label booked some shows there and signed her to Polydor Records and Universal Music."

 

My second thought was: "Wow, she's not having an accent. One of her parents must be a native speaker." Then I googled... and well...

I thought she was Spanish too. In the yellow top from the Video Games video, she kind of looks it.

My first impression was 'ew another indie wannabe'. Once I had actually watched her video and listened to her song though, I realized that she was much more. Her album slayed me.

I heard a Video Games club remix on some Sirium XM channel and kept it on. I couldn't stand her voice in the original. But I downloaded the EP that had Blue Jeans with it and I guess I finally paid attention to the lyrics and everything connected

I thought she looked like she had an attitude lol. Like she'd be a bitch or something; I was shocked by how kind and sweet she sounded in an interview and then started to like her.

[Chris Cuomo 3,321]

I really didn't like her at first, I heard about her on MTV and all the buzz about her. So I googled 'Lana Del Rey' and I saw the thumbnail for the born to die video. I was like 'What the fuck is this shit?". I watched the video, well only a bit. I thought she was dark and depressing. But later that week I watched the video again and I started liking it... I kept on singing it.. and I bought her album and BOOM.

 

I love her now. <3

"not sure if would or would not bang"

[DanCastro 962]

Back in September 2011 I remember thinking she was amazingly hot and mysterious. Hasn't really changed.

[Cleopatra 1,099]

"Hmmm this girl has hoop earrings on. Must be from New York. Let's see if she can sing."

[Lad 8,801]

I tought she was a latin/spanish electromariachi band, hey, with titles like 'Video Games' and 'Blue Jeans' it sounded like those spanish artists that want to sing in english, and was labeled as 'alternative'.

[SweetLikeCinnamon 344]

I watched her BTD performance at the Chateau Marmont and I was like she's beautiful and I thought she was an opera-like singer.

[Viva 3,170]

When I first saw video games I just thought that took too long for someone 2 use instagram in a music video and I loved the result. I also thought Lana had a beautiful voice and was very pretty. Thought that she looked like a bimbo from some spanish B movie in the video games video. Like a spanish cartoon but pretty in a weird way. My opinion didn't change much. Still love her voice, still think she did the best with the instagram hype in the moment that would meant something and, still think she is very pretty and that sometimes she dresses like a spanish bimbo.

[Sitar 22,217]

I was watching the video of Born To Die and my first impression of Lana was that she was very different (in a good way) to all the other female artists who were popular at the time. And still are popular...

 

Merging with a similar thread

[COLACNT 5,180]

I quickly scanned through little bits of video games on hype machine and thought, this sounds good, I'll put it on my phone. I listened to it for the first time in full on a long drive home. It made me feel the best kind of weird and I think I cried for like a sec cause her voice was just so good, especially hearing it in a small enclosed box on blast

 

then I looked her up when I got home and was like THAT'S HER? wut

 

[Vintage 49]

Fake as fuck. I was actually a bit annoyed by her 'cause everyone was talkin bout her on ATRL (a forum I'm now banned at). Then I listened to Video Games and thought she was boring. It was only after I saw the Born to Die video and heard the song for the first time that I fell in love.

I also thought she was a Hispanic singer when Rolling Stone did a article on her mid 2011

[Leo 463]

When I first read about her:

 

 

 

When I heard her music for the first time:

 

 

 

Someone please stop me if I'm overusing the emoticons, they're still new and funny to me
