“Del Rey has become an icon for the dour and terminally online” 

 

I really hate The Guardian’s portrayal of us as depressed incels, especially since we probably fuck more as a fandom than every other one combined. 

we' and the charli xcx fandom have to be the most sexually active fandom..., they may be right about the depression tho

" This time, she rode in on a biker motorcade, clad in a baby blue sequin dress, smiling and waving like the beauty queens she’s prone to singing about. It was ambitious, lively crowd work – literal momentum to started the show off right. But then she opened her mouth." 

 

is completely brutal. 

Can we get this negativity out of here

i totally agree w u i think the show was amazing i was frustrated w some of the song choices at the time and mic issues but seriously it was amazing. i loved hearing her gain confidence- the confidence she gained only 3 songs in is really impressive! i imagine next saturday she’d be even more comfortable

 

i literally believed she was going to come in a helicopter like i need to re evaluate my brain

 

ok but the helicopter would've been iconic i need to see that next weekend

Damn the Guardian really dragged her for no good reason? Sounds like it was written by someone who hated Lana before even watching the show. Maybe still thinks she’s a Zionist or whatever. Honestly her vocals were good and she looked stunning. Her vocals were especially strong on the Ocean Blvd songs. I don’t get why people are complaining about her vocals when this is exactly how she’s performed at all those festivals in 2023 too. My only issues are the set list and over reliance on playback vocals and the audience. But other than that I thought it was really great.

Opening with Jealous Girl just to bait and switch to more than half the set being all piano ballads is very on brand of her. I think the setlist was hypothetically fine, but the order is a bit messy. I do think instead of Bartender she should have done The Greatest, VB (shortened) or CG. The Grants, Tunnel, and Arcadia all should have been switched out though. I know her set list hasn't changed much but to open with Jealous Girl into Without you into West Coast into Doin Time really made it seem like she was going to switch it majorly up, but those were the only 3 differnet songs

But she also sang Summertime Sadness, Video Games, Young and Beautiful, Ride and the crowd was quieter than usual . idk about the US but in Europe these were huge hits and sometimes they still play them in radios. I just think she deserved a better crowd (like South American ones) 

 

It's a huuuuuge crowd. HUGE ...  Many of those people don't know any of those songs. Most of those hits are 10 years old, for a start. 

 

For me, her confidence was severely lacking. To get the crowd on your side, you can't come across as timid. Which is why Billie was the highlight. She commanded the room, sang loudly, and the crowd ate it up.

 

I'm a huge Lana fan, obviously, but we can't blame this on the crowd. From the setlist to the presentation, she bombed imo. Great entrance though.

The Guardian editors’ attempts at journalism are ambitious and inspiring. But then they start typing 

 

preach

[never2heaven 6,761]

the guardian is a fucking newspaper though not an actual musically relevant anything. their journalists are built for writing pieces on politics not the arts 

[prettywhenimhigh 49,329]

I just woke up and I'm still gagged, can't to watch it again in a few hours

 

[NikoGo 60,797]

after re-hearing PWYC and Ride, there is very clearly mic issues. Both times she really tries to sing, there is some terrible mic feedback/glitch and right after it happens she just stops

[cinnamon gay 314]

soooo.. how much do you think will change for next weekend?

Some fat old man who looks like a yeast infection definetly typed that up

[Unknown 3,173]

I was surprised she came out to Gangsta by Kehlani considering she really came for Lana around QFTC and the looting vids. Even more surprised at Kehlani commenting on tik tok that Lana invited her to perform with her at coachella but she “couldn’t make it”

[cherrytropico 11,076]

man even tho i’m not a billie fan…after seeing them perform together i’m now convinced that they would create an incredible collab with their angelic voices. i really hope we could see that sometime soon, it would be a well loved song. 

[jaesana 3,605]

FRIENDS- the Lana re-uploads keep getting taken down, but don't worry. I downloaded the set in full HQ quality and I'm going to upload it to Dropbox shortly.

[Liz Taylor Blues 18,738]

Even with all the mishaps it was still a great show
