Beautiful! Her look, her singing, even the strings sounded particularly gorgeous that night.

So dreamy.

Moved to 'Shows'. This is stunning, it got me so emotional. I now know, after watching this, that I will love her for ever.

Lana looks like Jessica Lowndes at this show.. It's so weird!

[IamThatGirlLily 533]

She's my favorite, really, but her live shows are always just so-so technically wise. She can be amazing sometime and very average some other time. She has an uncanny voice, beautiful lyrics and melodies. She can do great! But she doesn't seem to put that much effort into live technique. She says she likes to "take care of the songs", to "write".. it saddens me a little because it means she doesn't want to perform in long term.

I feel like her musical aim isn't to share her music with people but to make/produce things she likes and finds beautiful for people. The reverse of Beyonce whose songs aren't really deep but actually shares her music live w/ people. If that makes sense.

I couldn’t agree with you more. I find that Lana is really doing a disservice to her incredible talent and creativity, by not putting significantly greater effort in turning out spectacular live shows. I can completely sympathize with her protestation that she is nervous performing live, and that she is not a natural stage performer, but to me that should prod her into really buckling down on it, practicing a lot more, getting backing singers for layering/harmonies, taking advantage of other electronic aids, drums, and most importantly (and I have been harping on it for a while), using the best ear monitors available. I am a amateur musician and cannot stress the importance of ear monitors for live performances. It is a routine thing, and I can’t figure out why she resists using them more consistently. She can clearly sing great live in the studio, think of Goodbye Kiss, where she uses the monitors. I will keep hoping that she will at some point realize the importance of consistently performing well live if she wishes to achieve the success that she deserves, and really make an effort to improve.
