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 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unknown 3,139 Posted April 13 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. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NikoGo 54,290 Posted April 13 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 7 Quote "Don’t forget me" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twinkletoes7 5,916 Posted April 13 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 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NikoGo 54,290 Posted April 13 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 7 Quote "Don’t forget me" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unknown 3,139 Posted April 13 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” 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cherrytropico 10,355 Posted April 13 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. 8 Quote we’re gonna party like it’s 1949 ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀ :¨ ·.· ¨: ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ `· . ꔫ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaesana 3,037 Posted April 13 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. 13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
