So her dad spent some of his million-dollar fortune jumpstarting her career. So Lana Del Rey is not her real name. WHO CARES?! Bono from U2 is Paul! Eminem is Marshall! P-Diddy is Sean! Katy Perry is Katheryn Hudson! People brand this 25-yr-old NYC girl as fake, manufactured, a gimmick? Um, hello, Lady GaGa?? NYC. Female(?). 25. Dived to the top by ripping off every sound/image available since the 70s, exploits the LGBT community endlessly. THAT is manufactured, false, a gimmick. Open your eyes!
I personally am a fan of Lana Del Rey, but I really don't like the way she stylizes her songs in her live performances. By that I mean like when she randomly says "Honey" or when she drops an octave randomly or when she goes "every little thing that I do". It sounds forced, clunky, and distracting.
After watching this right after watching her SNL performance, I still think she's a great singer. People do have bad performances in their career and you can only improve on those mistakes. If we, including those haters, see a tendency of "SNL" performances in the future, then we can make judgements. For now she's got a soft voice and is freak'n gorgeous even if those lips are fake. It's like Angelina Jolie but a singer without the third-world babies.
She may not appeal to the mainstream audience that are used the current standard pop sound but her unique sound has caught the attention and admiration of many in order to have been invited to appear on SNL. So if you are inclined to hate on her, maybe you should take a step back and respect the fact that it may not be your cup of tea...
@muffinmonster15 when will people understand that hitler was a mass murderer and the horrible, unforgiveable shit he did cannot be compared to some motherfucking singer.
I commented on here the other day saying I didn't like her voice... But what I should have said was I kind of don't like her voice live. I have since become addicted to her recordings. x_x
I missed the SNL episode and found the clip to watch her performance. I love it. Very soft, soothing, and mellow. I don't understand why people think it's the worse performance on SNL....nothing tops Ashley Simpson's lip singing performance.
Yahoo is dumb, She can sing just fine, You'd have to be a fool to say she can't sing.
She was probably just extremely nervous and plus she has a powerful voice so what do you expect, Of course it isn't going to sound right when she's nervous and so shaky sounding.
I watched the SNL performance and I really can't see what the fuss is about. She was nervous that was apparent but she did fine. The song isn't some upbeat crap that the masses drool over sure, but it was nice. She is uniqe I think most everybody's problem is the fact she's diffrent. People are always gonna hate. Thank godness she isn't like a brittney carbon copy is all I have to say.
Lana has talent. "Later Live' was a better performance. Even on SNL she had me mesmerized with that voice, her looks, and that dress. I am not crazy about that song "Video Games" but she makes it happen with that smooth and sexy voice. F*** the critics. Usually they are wrong and way behind the curve. Go Lana. I'll be looking for you on UTube.
shut up about SNL....just like BRITNEY SPEARS once said " some times you have great performances and some times just an okay performances, so its no big deal, get over it"
I like the song, but there is something very fake about this woman that doesn't convince me, she almost reminds me of amy whinehouse.. that run down, beat up by life look, but so fake including the crazy lip job, omg
@ultravioletspirit Her lips are like that if you look at her old videos and so are my friends. Just because someone has the look everyone FAKE wants to get doesn't mean they're fake as well.
WHAT THE FUCK ARE PEOPLE BITCHING ABOUT?! Give me a break she got up there and sang her song and it wasn't even CLOSE to as bad as some of the shit I've seen on SNL...
@Spr1teRoses this is not the SNL video you are right this is not bad not even the worse but the SNL performance was awful thank god they have this video here also because this does prove that she can sing I dont know what her problem was on SNL but this is good
I watched her performance on SNL and I didn't think it was as horrible as people made it out to be... but then I heard this performance. It's unfortunate that she didn't perform as well in SNL, but if she can sing this good, I'm looking forward to hearing more from her in the future.
I just realized the thing that comes off weirdly for me. For this type of song, she needs to be sitting on a stool! At least for a good part of the song.
I am a metal head and I love this women,,,she is different from all those Lady gaga and all.....She deserves it....this is only one stage gig....you will do better in next coming thousand stage performance.
i dont understand why everyone is bitching about SNL, i watched the SNL clip and she actually has a REAL voice(reminds me of Dido) which i cant say about 99% of every pop/rap artist on the radio.. Some people just like being little shits i guess
@lilrockable I agree, I don't know what their gripe is about, she actually sounds real, instead of fake, like most of them become (probably cause of lip syncing) I think her performance was amazing, especially for being brand new to the scene
100 years from now.....people will still be talking about what monotonous, "unlistenable" song this was. I'm surprised the crime rate didn't spike on Saturday night.
I don't care about her background... I just can't like her voice, though I've tried. :S It's all subjective, though. I'm not going to lose respect for people who like her...
You people are really some POS wonders! The lady can sing for sure..get off it you moron diaper rash cretins..her lo sexy voice will continue to prosper in the music world.
I was sent here with the hope that this performance would be better. What a let down. I know nothing about her past or lack of it... or w/e....I do not care.
As I watched this I could not help but wonder if this performance would be different if it was sung by Florence Welch. Ok so she is not seasoned... forgiven. Where the hell is the facial expressions. There appears to be no connection with what she is singing. I will admit, when i close my eyes she sounds good.

This is very, very good. It was meant to be a sad, simple song. I think that her American debut was a little wavery, her Dutch debut was almost close, but not quite, and this is probably her best live show so far. She just needs a little practice, and I think this is as good as it gets for her... which is quite awesome. _^^_
