Austin7 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) I'm more inclined to listen to Hendrix than Lana Del Rey. But I've had a chance to listen to her music some more the past few days. I think this is all a tempest in a teapot. She looked really nervous on her "Saturday Night Live" performance. That's obvious. But the backlash is all out of proportion. Lana Del Rey's recent performance on David Letterman a few days ago was much better. Her genre isn't what I normally listen to, but it's better than much of the pop music that's out there, IMO. When you take into consideration that there are people out there actually taking Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, and Justin Timberlake seriously, then Lana Del Rey doesn't seem so bad.

ShergoldSnickers Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) Hmmmm. Nice timbre to the voice, but she doesn't have that fine control that would turn it into something really special. Is it me or does she sound distinctly amateur for brief flashes - the tuning and pacing just go off somehow. Mind you compared with my bass playing....

Austin7 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hr52zTBp3oo[/media] That's her most recent performance. I'm not a fan and won't likely become one. But if people are judging her solely on her "Saturday Night Live" performance, I'd say that's being a bit unfair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
