Super Movie 51,419 Posted October 24, 2022 I never realized how many people actually cared that Lana smokes Cigarettes are one of the main things her aesthetic has been tied to for years in the public eye, and this is the same person who's IG bio was #VapeInfluencer. Anyways, this has nothing to do with LDR9 itself, so discussion wise, it really doesn't concern me 18 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She used to sing higher all the time during the Lizzy days too... the low BTD voice was her label trying to set her apart... which made her sound not so good at times (while always nailing the higher notes) 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bluedealer 4,935 Posted October 24, 2022 I don't support smoking for aesthetic but at the same time I can't imagine BTD/UV era without cigarettes. Btw I wonder if she has some specific selfcare voice routine. Can you guys remember the time she couldn't hit Shades of Cool notes on some concerts back when she was vaping a lot? It's still her choice but there's nothing positive about smoking and this kinda concerns me that it can damage her health 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evalionisameme 13,789 Posted October 24, 2022 Cigarettes pollute the atmosphere and are a small cause of pollution-of course we should abhor smoking lol, yes it’s an addiction but most “drugs” and alcohol aren’t causing the worlds end(if only slightly). on the topic of lanas singing-yes she is less pitchy and yes she uses her natural voice more- but again she uses chest voice or falsetto for verses and transitions to head voice for choruses, belts or high notes. she sounds a lot better but chest is what gives power. you cannot honestly tell me she’s done a resonant chest belt like this since 2013 lol- 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People taking issue with this (plus the smell, the pollution, ...) is not making you a marginalized minority. Saying this as a former casual snoker - that is such a bad take. 3 Quote Just do it.

Super Movie 51,419 Posted October 24, 2022 Lanaboards is genuinely so good at taking a thread for a specific topic and turning it into a full blown debate about something else There should be a contest for it 19 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
