i saw a clip of her on some show or other, might've been SNL...honestly i thought she was not very good in the clip i saw so i haven't paid any more
attention to her. could've just been an off night for her.
but then i don't really care for florence (and the machine) live either.
(i know, blasphemy)

you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

I think the clip is her first real live performance...her stuff is much better than that one performance.
the video's mediocre but the music grows and grows on you (Dark Paradise and Born To Die are awesome tracks off her album)...

Yeah, I have to agree that she's not all that good. And I'm not watching, I'm just listening; watching that one song was like self-inflicting a coma.lucimay wrote:i saw a clip of her on some show or other, might've been SNL...honestly i thought she was not very good in the clip i saw so i haven't paid any more

and for the record, i'm not saying that i think you SHOULDN'T like her, rdh, i'm just saying i didn't care for the stuff i heard. there is no accounting for taste.
and i do not mean that in any kind of a derogatory way at all. i mean it literally.
people respond to whatever they respond to and you'll get no judgement from me on that.
i really thought there were a lot of people on the forum who would love chris whitley and respond to his music the way i did. sadly, i was wrong. it's all good tho.

I like her stuff. She is incredibly manufactured, so I don't admire her. But I enjoy her songs. That SNL performance was horrific, but definitely an off-night for her.
I can't really watch many of her videos. She has permanent duck face. :/

Lana del Rey's album Born to Die is one of the very few releases where I love every track. Live she seems to suck, but in your front room with a bottle of wine and just the CD playing her music takes some beating.
