tbh, unless she lit herself on fire in the middle of the performance there's literally no SNL performance bad enough that couldn't be described as 'not that big of a deal.' We are dealing with one pop musician on a sketch comedy show. The stakes could be lower, but in the scheme of things, not by much.

not sure how anyone can actually read HRO and find it "compelling"

haven't read everything hro has written about ldr because I don't have 5 hours to spare but I don't think it can all be chalked up to sexism or whatever, he did the same thing w/ animal collective back in teh day

LDR managed to sing this song perfectly well in dozens of other TV performances though she's never gonna be a must-watch gal but the weird thing is how she changed the tune for "every little thing that I do/I tell you all the time" which once followed the previous line but now in accent and intonation sound like tribute to great song from great time Ladykillers by Lush: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSgYHzACvMI&feature=related

Right, I also have "finally" seen the SNL performance.
I thought it was fine! Good, even.
Am I missing something?

I'm sitting here with headphones on, nothing was out-of-tune, delivery was a little diffident but then that's the 'role' in the song, um, I don't buy it.
Really.
Anyway, I'm not going through 1,000 posts about it. You lot can carry on, I'm out.
― Mark G, Friday, 20 January 2012 00:26 (twelve years ago) link
well I think a handful of things in her delivery are what 'makes' the original song, and when she doesn't hit them the song sorta falls apart
― iatee, Friday, 20 January 2012 00:28 (twelve years ago) link
I just watched it for the first time. mostly just felt bad for her?
she seems like a kid that would have made up their own multi-disciplinary major in college then recorded an album on the schools equipment and got credits for it

if she did rip that off, it's a good steal! i'm no apologist, but that's my defense.

i was listening to some garage-y 45 and it wasn't "Louie Louie", but it was an EXACT replica of The Kinks doing "Louie Louie". not the kingsmen, not paul revere & the raiders, the kinks. different title and lyrics and all that. very cool.
― scott seward, Sunday, 22 January 2012 01:39 (twelve years ago) link
love that the rant guy won't go as far as to defend her incase he damages his own 'faceless ****s on the Internet who think their opinion is the end all be all and have this fantasy in their headforum rant posting' ETC persona.

I don't think a suit by Eleni Vitali (the Greek artist) would hold up in an intellectual property suit, but Lizzie Grant probably should be crediting Nicole Atkins with inspiring the whole schtick:

since i was thinking abt him last night, skrillex/sonny moore is a contemporary parallel example of a pop artist on a major label who tweaked his sound and identity after a debut release under a different name. course it's different in that sonny moore was already semi-famous prior to his solo debut.

No, thats a Katy Perry pic as explained upthread. We got some crossed wires going on wrt Katy and Robyn.

yeah robyn used to be called katy hudson and released an album with max martin, kindof one hit wonder. katy perry also had this prev. career but she hasn't changed her name. p diff style though.

Wait, what? Robyn's Max Martin produced album was called Robyn Is Here. Katy Hudson has nothing to do with Robyn! Her real name is Robin!
