Lana Del Rey

well that's true enough

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?

your hearing aid

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.

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

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

is that an insult?

no, i had a friend that did that, just get that vibe

xp That is a fine rant. Assumed it was from somewhere else but found nothing when I googled it.

haha i look forward to the apologists trying to defend this

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.

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.

hahahahahaha the kanyetothe forum is a ridiculous place

the kanyetotheforum is crazy

i swear no one cares about music criticism as much as the ppl that read that board, it's pretty amazing

they have threads dedicated to like every pfork rap review, it's nuts

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:

when is this album going to leak then?

i'm sure someone here has the answer

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.

katy perry!

hasn't seemed to slow her down much...

robyn?

Hint: look @ scott's previous post.

thats not what i meant

Well she never really changed her identity, did she?

she changed her identity but not her name

um scott's pic seems to suggest she changed her name

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!

have you heard her collab with the knife?

o_O

haha no wonder I liked "Who's That Girl" so much

one thing i hate about "video games" is that stupid repetitive phrasing gets stuck in my brain and i start to come up with alternate lyrics that are so dumb but i can't stop thinking them

currently:

"sittin' on the front porch
hanging out with scott storch...video gaaaaaymes"

when you're drivin' in your chevy
and you're feelin' somthin' heavy.... video gaaaaaaymes.

heaven is a place on earth with booze
