Is it true?

Idk it's hard to tell. It could just be a fan changing their twitter name/icon to Lana and speaking in the chat to make it seem like it's her lol

https://youtu.be/n3IF_KWyU8c I really prefer the way she performed back then! I know a lot of you say she’s improved a lot vocally but she used to put so much effort and emotion in her shows. Now it’s all about dancing and singing just some small parts of the songs (especially OTTR)

Yep totally now she is using much more backing vocals and belts almost only with head voice

[SouthInGuy 1,699]

If she doesn’t sing Heroin one time on the LA TO THE MOON tour I’m gonna have to have a word with our girl... (come on Lana please!)

 

My friend last night didn’t like how she uses so much backing tracks or whatever to sing along to but it honestly doesn’t bother me. It probably would for anyone else but it’s Lana. It just fits. Just like the way she sings from the lounge chair...

I'm not really feeling her hair on the tour yet.

 

I think she should add a couple layers and part it to the side, and maybe have the clips on the side that doesn't have the part (where there's less hair).

Adding waves would make it cute too.

 

Its the wrong length for a middle part, middle parts look best on bob style cuts or very long hair, like she used to have. In this case its making her face look puffy, I think. She should try an updo

​The crowd singalongs on every damn song are making Lana lazy

I don't know which is worse- the girls singing along so loudly it overshouts Lana, or the boys doing the same thing

 (especially evident in the non-professional videos of the shows), where whomever is filming that persons voice is the loudest..

 

​Don't you see that this habitual screaming every lyric (and when its done it is to the version in ones head from the record), that

​when Lana sings, you miss out on the nuances in her voice/singing/tonight's performance and in essence

YOU ARE MAKING HER LAZY because then she ends up just shrugging and singing the exact way the audiences are and not her own

​that day version (one reason to go to multiple shows is to hear the nuances, and not a canned daily re-creation of the same exact thing.

 

​Why can't people just let her sing?

 

as the vocals on the album are layered and there are no real backup singers on stage, well, what does one expect.

She can't sing both front and backup at the same time.

This whole Creep thing made me listen to LFL album again these days... I have not since summer/last year

What why

[paradisetropico 7,855]

the TEA is "Terrence Loves You" should be on the setlist -- (its in the promo video of dates she posted) --

 

and justice for Anna Cofone and Johnny Blue Eyes -

our queen may be tryna save coins but they need to "re hired."

 

will we ever get Burning Desire video Looks again; ICONIc 

[Amadeus 11,333]

Have u ever been to a concert the crowd, especially urself, is always way louder in the videos than it is when experiencing the concert.

 

The crowd isn't making her lazy what kind of stupid logic is that. Shes just lazy that's all on her you don't need to find excuses for that. She literally has like 13 shows a year except for the tour this time.

Damn, I never thought about it like this. You make a really good point and I didn't even realize this could be an issue until after reading what you said. She totally does do that on stage! hahah..I can't help singing along softly though!

[Peachycream 3,647]

If anything the crowd singing along boosts her mood. I don’t get how that would make her lazy....

 

If she seems “lazy” maybe she’s just going through some things and can’t be bothered to put her heart and soul into it at the moment. Or maybe just nerves cause it’s a bigger and brand new tour? There are are a lot of maybes and no definite answers but it has nothing to do with the crowds singing along.

 

You can’t blame the crowd for her not getting the notes right but with that being said her vocals have been amazing this tour. I love that she switched up the vocal ranges for some of the songs.

I feel like she sings pretty close to this at her recent tour shows? Except with OTTR, definitely agree that song has to go. Maybe I'm just comparing them too much to her 2017 shows, which were pretty weak.

[Coney Island King 25,999]

I’ve never seen OTTR live so im happy to hear it when shes back in Aus.

I think you are misunderstanding what I mean by lazy. I don't mean she is lazy, I mean it sort of as resigned and leading to her more often putting that microphone out to the audience to take it 

 

I think what is really happening it is the fans who don't have confidence and are attempting to cover up something that don't need to be covered up.(as if it is they who think she can't sing live, when in fact the opposite is true.

 

I have been to 20 plus shows live, including the two in NYC in November, and made the long trip to see one song in Montreal at the Cohen tribute...I am mostly in the stage area/pit 

and the noise level is different in each place. (The indoor CT show a few years ago was the loudest audience)

 

Lana has a unique voice, much like Roy Orbison, and not once in all the times I saw Roy, would anyone dare attempt to sing over him or with him. People hanged on every note that came out of his mouth, and on "THOSE" notes (you know which ones)

he outdid himself each time (so much so that after he ovations so loud that he reprised the songs (Crying, Running Scared, etc.) and then outtopped himself again. But the people got to hear it.

 

to the other extent, Dylan challenges his audiences each night, singing his songs different each night, mixing it up

because he can't stand to sing the same thing note for note as if he were at a production of Abba  Mama Mia or one of

the sound-alikes (and yes some days some people in the audience question as to what songs he sang that night

yet they come back again and again)

 

And I  intend to go to ten to a dozen more shows this tour, including Chicago, but weather was not permitting that.

(Sure hope it is only light snow for Boston and NJ next week and Philly and the later shows (including Nashville), but I will be sitting for those shows, and plan on arriving late for each of the shows (shortly before she goes on). 

 

but the point I was making is that some want a note for note recreation of the album, and they are singing that version outloud while Lana is attempting to sing that days version of the song which is not a note for note recreation

 

and by the way, I don't want backup singers to be singing, it just takes away from her singing (and again, the back up singers

would be singing the song as rehearsed, where she is singing it her way that day which tomorrow would be different.

 

And its something that can be seen by looking at the live performance videos even if I had seen the show the night before or a week earlier

 

the medleys are interesting in that she is singing them different however, if one can't hear the full song,

one loses out on how she changes the third verses to mean something different than the first or second

 

@@Sadcore thanks for understanding what I am getting at.

Bish talking about the song being pulled off the future physical records this is getting out of hand.

 

She keeps reminding us how important that song is. Let's do it, babies, we gotta move outta the black into the blue. Get free!

[Psychedelic Pussy 30,107]

idk about Borns' other dates in Australia but he just announced a show on April 3 in Sydney, and Lana's show is April 2 in Sydney. So I'm willing to bet that he is her opening act for her show or will at least show up on stage and do GSOYB with her or something. Super excited. If he's the opening act I'll be so happy cause his new album is actually really solid.

 

April can't come soon enough :-(
