  • At least she still sang live and she did all she could, compared to other previous singers *coughs**ashlee simpson*

  • In what way is that bad?

  • I love Lana but im sorry, this isnt her best :/

  • She's just nervous. Also, her music has a vulnerably quality that would be scary to perform. At least with rock you can take it out on your guitar or scream the lyrics. I'll give her props on everything but the "gangster" part. Move towards soul Lana!

  • How can people not like this?

  • I'm guessing it was the drugs

  • She is AWESOME!! Love her voice, she is unique lol

  • I actually love Lana Del Rey so much, and she's usually incredible live, but this is making me laugh it's so bad.

  • I love her but ermm..

  • that wig :/

  • Not her best and she knows it you can tell she is nervous since she doesn't sound like this on other live versions

  • I fell in love with her music but this is shonky.

  • This performance is terrible. I've seen other videos she plays live & is much better. She just had a bad day .

  • Yeah, let's be real for a second. This performance is not good. Maybe she was nervous? Maybe her voice is overproduced on her album? I can't say for sure why she didn't sound good live, but hopefully she gets her act together.

  • Close ur eyes and listen to her voice. I love Lana and this song but this performance is just horrible.

  • Unique? I bet a producer writes that contrived shite. You guys have really low standards for music if you think she's good, I bet she sounds great on her album because of how overproduced her voice is. You're blinded by her beauty.

  • It's sooo easy to judge others.

    She did alright. This is not her best but still not that bad. I love her, she's unique.

  • I honestly think she was not bad at all. I actually loved it. Seemed real raw.

  • Except around the 2:30 mark, I don't think it's that bad. No doubt that she's talented, but will need to mature/grow into her own skin to live up to all the hype. I'm not hating on her when I ask this, but, in this performance, does she remind anyone of the blue angel singing diva from that Bruce Willis movie " The Fifth Element"?

  • Oh my God she has The stage presence of a toilet paper! I heard that This was one of her first performances so I hope she'll improve that

  • I think she did alright, she seemed a bit nervous but who wouldn't be??

  • I don't think she did as bad as everyone is saying...

  • I think she did great...wtf is Juliette Lewis's ugly butt even talking about in her dumb tweets? I was expecting an Ashly Simpson-esque performance after all the hype I've heard about this...it's funny to me that Eliza whatever her name is and Juliette Lewis have the nerve to hate on this chick when for starters Eliza is a nobody and is clearly jealous since she herself will never get the chance to host or perform on snl, and lets face it Juliette Lewis is one of the ugliest women in show biz,

  • She's not as bad as everyone is saying she is.

  • Of course Lana was just extremely nervous - who wouldn't be? Just a few hints: several million people watching, not much live (and life) experience, thousands of entertainment industry employees depending on her doing a good job ... enough pressure factors? Hey, she's just 25, okay?! All that taken into account, still a good performance. Katy Perry and Juliette Lewis (and I like both, too) also sing off-tune sometimes in live performances ... I love your songs, Lana!

  • LOL @ the analogy between her and ke$ha. The only creativity ke$ha possesses is the dollar sign replacing the S in her name. personally I don't like blue jeans as much as Video Games but hey. Her performance was still good. I think many people are trying to brand her as being a certain type of music and they're not succeeding. Put it this way she has talent and lyrics are meaningful. Better than saying stupid hoe for 4 minutes of my life anyway.

  • Theres no problem here, anyone dislike this wonderful performance, i'll hunt you down and kill your dad.

  • I kind of like the song and performance, but she doesn't seem emotionally connected to her music, at least for her SNL showing.

  • So wait. What's wrong here? I think this performance is great. Love her.

  • Fuckin bollocks sounds like someone singing in the shower (awfully)

  • I freakin love this lass! Who's not hit one bum note?!? Lana is nit hung but class xxxx

  • First it was Ke$ha now it's Lana don't worry babe. Next week it'll be some chick named Gloria.

  • @telephoneguy08

    Ke$ha is a scanky crack hole. This generation loves crap holes.

    Lana Del Rey, is refreshing and a self created musician and artist.

    So it's no wonder she's getting shit thrown at her for being original.

  • stupid online nutters who just want to bring her down. why are some people so hostile towards new emerging talents? you guys seem to search for faults in her. lip job? name change? so what?! it is her body and she can do whatever she likes ok? and as for this performance, it wasnt even that bad. she was nervous. give her a break.

    in 5 year's time she will have conquered your fucking lady gaga/katy perry shite. you haters need to get a hobby. or maybe make your own #1 album before saying a word.

  • @NeonVanilla cause they've been programmed that way.

    They love sick, puke, crusted over crack holes.

    They don't recognize beauty, because they've only been exposed to trash, that's

    been called hot, sexy,. etc.. etc... so it's no wonder they'd shoot down the real thing.

  • I'm all for something new but this is quite bad, she can't hold a note, she doesn't connect at all and she looks like she doesn't want to be there

  • She is new, original, beautiful and she has a great voice. I love this performance 'cause she gave me something that ohters artist can't gave me, despite criticism i think she's great.

  • this is actually much better than studio version. she shows here what possibilities her powerful voice has. i'd love to hear her live.

  • this performance is not so bad afterall

  • She is absolutely amazing! I do not understand all the hate!!! What? Just because she doesn't lip sync like every other singer it's horrible?

  • this is so bad!!

  • She's writing good songs, that's what is important. At least she's singing her own lyrics and not lip syncing or using auto tune like kesha.

  • I liked it.. and this is the first time I'm hearing about her. I don't get it, what was all the hoopla about?! Too many opinions out there.. I say to Lana: "Don't worry about it doll! People will criticize someone new tomorrow.."

  • Lana is wonderful to no end, if you don't like this proformance you must look at others, she was shakin' like the back of a church! She is 100% talented. But her nerves got the best of her here.

  • I really admire Lana Del Rey, she got a great voice and is one of a kind! But I can clearly see that she is nervous and don't have controll on her voice on this performance, got kind of stressed to listen to it. I heard that she cancelled all of hear tours to get more time to improve her voice live.

  • She is nervous....

  • Why is it so different from the actual song?

  • I didn't think it was bad at all. What's all the buzz about? I've definitely seen worse performances on SNL!

  • She is a typical case of a corny looking white chick with a deep voice that thinks because of that she is automatically a good vocalists.

    Lana, Lizzy, whatever, good vocalists are either products of good vocal coaches/classes, or simply have a good ear when it comes to their own voice so they don't sound like a pitchy, off key, flat, dead fish.

    No matter the quality of the voice, if you do not have decent skills as a vocalist you have no talent what so ever.

  • The story will consecrate this beautiful and sublime example of talent that combines the past and the future, suffering and joy in a perfect blend of harmony worthy of a true artist. Congratulations to the emotions that you transmit. Thanks Lizzy

  • eh.. I don't know.. it's kind of.. special.. but i.. i really like it .. except the the beginning.. i thought first it was a guy who sang.. O.o

  • Why's it in a different key than the studio recording? It's too low in her register. That's why it sounds kind of off. The song is quite pretty on the CD.

  • HARRY POTTER!

  • I fucking love her!!!!!!!!

  • I think this is a brilliant performance. Hypnotic...gorgeous..

  • ew

  • I found out why people found this off putting. well the aesthetic of one woman singing with a band behind them will give the viewer certain standards of an that artist subconsciously because the expectation of the singular woman performance requires massive vocal ability like Adele, Beyonce, Christina Aguilar etc, this is ingrained in the viewer's mind because they have seen nothing else of what the artist has to give.

  • and she has charisma and presence. I admire her for showing up, and I actually enjoyed the performance, yeah it wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst either.

  • I think people misunderstood the performance, I think she was trying to do something new, different, but it flew over people's heads.

  • @GoldenBearA You're joking, right? She sounds like chalk on a blackboard. ''It's Friday'' sounds like opera compared to this embarrassing screeching.

  • @GoldenBearA she was trying something new? in which case it didn't fly over peoples heads. it just didn't work. Going out of Key is not different. its just bad.

  • @tomlo9 she didn't go off key during this performance, however.

    All I found wrong about this was her forcing her voice a bit in the beginning, otherwise it's solid. Everybody's entitled to their opinion, but be reasonable. Even if you didn't enjoy it, a lot of (mainstream) singers sound much worse live, and I don't see anyone giving them shit about it, especially not based on a single performance.

    I guess that's the herd mentality.

  • Not the best performance but you know what? you are sitting on your computer paying out somebody who is doing what she loves while you work your shit retail job.

  • not awful but she doesn't meet the hype around her. She's no Adele - but hey. Her album isn't that bad - maybe she should remain a studio singer...

    

  • Does it change her album that she is a studio singer and not a live performer? absolutely not. I still like her album and the video's that she did.

  • she admitted she wasn't the best live singer, she is so brave to get up in front of everyone still even though she was lacking confidence. I personally think this was a gutsy performance with loads of effort and emotion put into it.

  • Definitely not a great performance of an otherwise wonderful song. A lot of singers on the charts are just as bad or much worse. But they choose playback... I think Lana's songs are INCREDIBLE...so of course it's a letdown that she doesn't seem to be ready for the road at all.

  • LOL shes not terrible at all..just a copy of great singers like Kim Carnes or Kate Bush..but she is good..live is something an artist should do more than promote a video..

  • That's REALLY bad. :(

  • So I genuinely think that the Video Games performance wasn't bad at all, but this definitely isn't her best. However, she doesn't deserve the shit she got for this at all. I mean at least she actually went up there and sang, unlike some other questionable SNL performers...

  • wow that was horrible, and all the idiots defending her... this is why there is such shitty music on the radio and tv. who the fuck would let people that sound like this become famous? this generation is just sound deaf.

  • @brethunderstorm27 I agree!

  • чо за херня. ужасно спела бл

  • Also, she has such a wide range it's ridiculous! Compared to today's musicians (if they can even be called that!?) she has the best voice of all of them!

  • It sucks that her whole career was judged on this! She still sounds fab though!

  • Swear to god i sing better

  • Comment removed

  • I personally think she has a lot of talent.

  • I preffer her over that cunt kesha

  • i love it. she is awesome.period

  • this is soooooo baad

  • This performance wouldn't make the first cut on American Idol.

  • The first seconds I thought "Holy shitballs, what a shit". But then I thought "Wow, this is music with real quality. It's not a commercial bullshit which is understood from the first second."

  • Sounds great!

  • wow this is really bad.

  • This is not that bad.. people like eminem shit who does not even sing, this girl actually sings good.

  • The deep and high parts of the song go together great in my opinion.

  • RANDY CANDY

  • 1:25 oye....

  • ist not that bad.. i have heard ALOT worse than this by other "artists"

  • This talentless chick is good for one thing --- giving a guy oral gratification !

  • Well she is not a good singer, is she? She would have been dumped in any "...got talent" shows.

  • Well... Blue Jeans wasn't terrible but Video Games was a little tough to finish watching. I think it was just a little awkward in moments. Maybe she was nervous...

  • i really don't think this is that bad lol i just think this is her voice lol i love her.

  • 1.24 is actually painful to watch.

  • I almost stopped listening to her because of this. cuz when you are bad live you suck. but everybody has a bad day, and if you watch other lives of her she's amazing. here she's probably high or drunk, just sayin

  • So bad...

  • This makes me compare her to Florence Welch... Florence never tries to look pretty on the stage she just focuses on singing and always makes good performances & incredible singing and now this... All i see is a girl who is more focused on looking good and classy moves than singing...

  • That was very very awful. I've seen many singers SING live and none were this bad. Sorry dear, not liking you :(

  • i Like !

  • wow! she cant sing live

    

  • I really like Lana Del Rey's music but this just sounds like she is trying too hard to sing alternatively. All respect due though because she is young and is making some serious waves (bad or good?)

  • The only weakness here are the lyrics which are trite and pretty ridiculous...beautiful women in a wedding dress singing about loving some loser thug until the end of time...no, i don't think so.

  • for those listening to Lana for the first time: yes, this is an awful performance, she's horrible HERE, but search for other of her live acts. She's got an awesome voice. (try this one /watch?v=F_W5EGMHdBE), i promise you she's worth it :)

  • @apaneagra this took me to the google search for fossil watches. :/

  • Love her voice, she's cool and her songs are rather different and peculiar but that's exaclty why I like them! Be serious: how many life perfomances/concerts have you seen that are ACTUALLY GOOD?I mus honestly say VERY VERY FEW! Even if I love the bands/artists! For some reason it's seems to be ALWAYS completly different from album versions and not quite sure I ever liked a live performance better than the original studio recorded version. I think she did quite well and her voice is great!

  • This is completly shit.

  • I love her...

  • her voice is haunting me ...

  • I know she can sing live, I think she must have stage fright or something

  • i really really love her but we all have to accept she could do better, her voice sounds forced and fake...i know she can sing live, just dont know what happen to her...it kinda sucks

  • OMG! She is sooooo GREAT WOW! I love the way she holds a tune! So professional, clear, and talented. The world is a better place because so many people, who wouldn't know good music if they heard it, seem to love her. Christ!

  • She can perform lives she probably was nerves

  • If you cannot perform live, what kind of artist are you?!

  • The truth /watch?v=5lB5khivbWs

  • I love her, but I think in this performance she played around with her voice too much. Sounded all over the place.

  • I don't get why people were slamming her down her voice is accually really cool when she goes high

  • The song in and of itself seemed okay, but I was not a fan of her voice.

  • i don't get it... why are people hating on her?? she's 100 times better than white coke trash katy perry... so wtf??

  • Comment removed

  • hahahah. And you indie poseurs have the stones to compare her to nancy sinatra. Oh man dude. Nancy Sinatra could actually sing! Generation Y....as in why bother! Bring back the SOPA bill so we can have a record industry that filters out the hacks from the pros. We are truly living in an age of amateur.

  • you can take the singer out of the studio but you take your chances

  • I LOVE YOU LANA

  • EXPECTO PATRONUM !!!!!!!!!!

    

  • She's awful. I kind of see the similarities to Tori Amos, but the difference is Tori Amos has talent.

  • she sounds nervous...or drunk..

  • What the fuck happened to you Elizabeth?

  • You need to shut the f**k up, tranny.

  • Yuck

  • I appreciate Lana. Her voice is good, but I agree with most of people, her voice on SNL was bad. Don't know what happened.

  • oh dear

  • Let Harry sing. This is terrible.

  • @chrislgrooms someday people will realise she is just a product XD

  • @chrislgrooms at least she sings live and doesn't try to fake anything. She's just real and wonderful. period ;) I would start to worry about a singer always doing lip-synching instead (Madonna, Britney Spears etc.) Lana just shows how she really is. Yes her voice is fragile, yes she doesn't sing that good on TV / in a front of a lot of people but something is very interesting and different to her. Watch acoustic sessions, read her lyrics, maybe you get it. ;P

  • i actually became a fan of hers after watching these performances through gossip websites. I'm like that was the most awesome thing i've seen in ages

  • Reminds me of Tori Amos. I don't understand why everyone hates her so much. Her vocal range Is incredible and she's not afraid to use it in in her own, non-conformist style. Good for her! She's also performing at SXSW, so I'm not the only one that likes her!

  • @kayceeoner Yes she does remind me of Tori amos. I couldn't put my finger on it. Thank U

  • This reminds me of some of the performances in the basement stage of a multi-stage venue in Hollyweird on a Tuesday night in the 1990's.

  • I actually like this a lot. I could see why people are slamming this because this does not sound like the usual pop out there. This actually reminds me very much of Tori Amos! Very poetic, artful and she's beautiful! Great job Lana!

  • Very nice preformance, a nice song ^^

  • that voice when she sets it off = total anti-boner

  • what the actual fuck.. this is bad :/

  • is she trying not to trow up 0.0 this bitch worser then nicki minaj smfh

  • Just weak, not a fiasco.

  • I have endured much worse on SNL, she is odd grant you that, but not the worse by far.

  • It just a unique sound but its good

  • this was not bad. everyone is just used to american idol. this performance was very east village.

    I like her.

  • this perfomance would have been better if she didn't open her mouth and just let the band play.

  • THIS IS NOT BAD- its very good, for being live!!

  • Her up/downs kinda fit the song.. i think it's kinda cool..

  • I don't get what's so wrong

  • I think she has a hauntingly beautiful voice. I love it <3

  • How and why did she get to perform on this show?

  • I REALLY LIKE HOW THIS SNL THING SORTED THE FAKE FANS OUT.

  • Cool that Daniel Radcliffe announced her ^^ But she has a strange way to sing..

  • give her a break , she is just starting . other ppl have been singing for years and are way worse..

  • she urgently needs singing lessons!! shes not capable of mixing both breast and head voice.this is why shes out of tune and the lower tones sounds scary.i like her because in some aspects shes still a rough diamond.but she really needs to improve her technical skills to have a musical freedom

  • All she needs is some stage presence lessons...

  • harry potter?

  • I love this song, but this performance is just..... uh..... nevermind.

  • Wow! She sucked big time on that!

  • Artistic & Beautyful

    What a Woman!

  • Since when is Lana Del Rey about being an enchanting, brilliant live singer anyway? She's quirky, awkward, distant and weird. That's the POINT of her. This is getting her the publicity her team want anyway.
