With the lion-share of Lana Del Rey‘s success being rooted here in the UK, the Pop polarizer returned to the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge this week to perform a number of cuts from her critically acclaimed debut ‘Born To Die’.
Serving as a prelude of sorts to her live performance slot on The Voice UK next week, watch her haunting showing below…
Blue Jeans
Goodbye Kiss (Kasabian Cover)
Good stuff. Although, it seems the more “intimate” the setting, the better she performs. An issue she’ll need to remedy quickly if she’s in “this” for the long haul.
Your thoughts?
“Critically acclaimed”? LOL. Her album was mostly panned by critics. Her music is pretentious garbage and her voice isn’t good.
@NONO – THE ALBUM SCORED AN IMPRESSIVE 67/100 ON METACRITIC, CITING “GENREALLY FAVOURABLE REVIEWS”. HOW DOES THAT EQUATE TO SOMETHING BEING “CRITICALLY-PANNED”???
B**** >>>>>>>>>>>>>> BYE.

ANYWAY, THIS WAS FANTASTIC!!!!!!!
HER OPERATIC-SOUNDING ALTO TIMBRE IS BEAUTIFUL AND, ALONG WITH ADELE, SHE WRITES SOME OF THE MOST GORGEOUS SONGS AND EMOTIONAL LYRICS IN MAINSTREAM MUSIC TODAY.
I ALSO LOVED THE WAY SHE SANG BLUE JEANS. YOU GO LANA, KEEP DOING YOU BECAUSE YOU ACTUALLY HAVE “TALENT”!!!!!!!
@jake
Agree 100 %! Critics here in Spain were positive for the most part
I know she´ll never be good as a performer, only in this type of intimate showings she can shine. But it is enough to me her songwritting skills and special voice. It goes with the type of music she does. Problem here is Rihanna or Britney fans wish their girl could be acclaimed for… something
That was amazing.
I have yet to see any real talent shine from her. She is simply basic
@JAKE – pretty similar to MDNA at 66% on Metacritic then, and we all know that album is dire. She isn’t a bad songwriter, its that horrible drone she uses that puts me off. Worst thing is she can really sing properly, look up some of her Lizzie Grant stuff. Born to Die would be a good song if it had a decent singer. Pretentious shite and fake as f***, “gangsta Nancy Sinatra” my a***!
Hmm nothing surprising!
