The Hell Did I Watch Last Night?!

Lana Del Rey's album isn't even out yet until later this month, but hos started throwing cold mounds of shit at her months ago when they accused her ass of being as fake as the collagen noodles on her mouth. The Lana haters say that her record label changed her name from Lizzy Grant, uploaded a new musical style into her brain, plumped up her lips with a bike pump and transformed her into some kind of Nancy Sinatra-like indie wonder. And last night, they really tried to make Lana Del Rey happen by pushing her out on Saturday Night Live's stage when they really should've pushed her into an emergency room for a Red Bull injection, because she looked like she was going to fall into a coma mid-hair flip. If this was an episode of Dance Moms, Abby Lee would say that Lana didn't even earn a place on the sand under her pyramid. The whole thing was a new kind of bizarre.

Lana sounded like a Japanese person trying to sing in English with a German accent. I'm sure that what came out of her mouth is not unlike the sounds that come out of a walrus's mouth when it's doing high school theater vocal exercises. The passport of Lana's voice filled up last night, because it was all over the place. (GONG me in the face for that one. I deserve it.) The way she moved too. Lord. It was like someone threatened to shoot all of her loved ones if she didn't give the performance of her life and she doesn't really love her loved ones, but doesn't want them to know that, so she just Meh-ed her way through it. Nerves due to inexperience are a helluva drug.

With all that being blogged, I LOVED EVERY PAINFUL MINUTE OF IT! It was like watching an overly sedated 8-year-old girl do a Jennifer North from Valley of the Dolls impersonation. Sedated camp at its finest!

Wow. Um. I perform with more energy when I've drunk a whole bottle of NyQuil mixed with Hypnotiq (the blue one, of course. The purple one is Ge-To.)

HOWEVERS, the studio version of the Video Games track is polished enough that her narcoleptic vocal delivery takes on a dreamy quality instead of sounding like she's gargling French marbles while she's live. So, um, I kinda <3 her now.

The studio her. Live her, meh.

MY GOD. what was THAT. O_o

Was this a David Lynch directed SNL clip? I never know when or if he's trying to be funny. I understood not a word of what she was singing. Apparently some absurd angst about a boyfried lost in WoW?

FWIW, her lips were very pretty before she had them mutilated. Why can't rich brats be grateful for what they've got and go live quietly in their obscene wealth? Why do they need fame too?

Funny the article linked mentioned singing while sleepwalking Nancy Sinatra because that's what she reminds me of and at least Nancy has one memorable song. "C'mon boots, get walkin'"

MK, I am currently throwing you a side-eye of annoyance for pointing out this person who I had never heard of until this very day.

Why are you like this? You know I read every single word you write (unlike that bitch Tina Fey who only pretends to love you). Now I have clicked on the link and seen the video and heard the song and I can neither un-see nor un-hear these travesties.

I am going to Youtube to play "Party in the USA" on a continuous loop for two hours to cleans my palate.

Thanks a lot.

HAHAHA! I knew she sounded familiar, but I think she's borrowing from a lot of people... they media dubbed her the "Gangsta Nancy Sinatra", for real!!!

Did no one bother to prep her for how to stand onstage?? The awkward arm movements. The random walking in a circle. I mean, I remember singing a solo in high school choir and my teacher said, "youre doing this weird thing with your hand. Stop it!" And that was just for the Spring Sing in the cafeteria/auditorium. I can imagine they could've done something similar for national TV!!

I can't stand the media trying to shove this chick down our throats. They've overhyped the shit out of her.

Abso-fucking lutely!! I checked her music out on itunes store, OMG I stopped after just a couple of seconds. It reminds me of overpriced skinny latte outlets with low fat organic bran muffins and unfriendly hipsters. I fart in their general direction.

She looks like she walked into a plastic surgeon's office and requested Julia Roberts' lips, but wound up with Courtney Stodden's instead.

I can't stand the media trying to shove this chick down our throats. They've overhyped the shit out of her. She's the equivalent of Lady Caca for the Macbook Pro generation who claim they are not hipsters but they are.

Really, I've been making fun of the lyrics of this song on Youtube. They feel calculated down to a T; the "Video games" reference is definitely aimed to women in their late 20s/early 30s who date guys who still play video games.

Codependent bitch alert- pick up the Xbox controller or stop whining!!!

"Lana Del Rey"?? Who came up with that moniker, Hedda Hopper?

Her voice isn't that bad, but her awkwardness and ridiculous appearance detract from any talent she might have. And what's with those bizarre stage lights? Since when do they light anybody that way on SNL? It's as if somebody thought we'd all be distracted by the pretty colors and not notice we were at Amateur Night in the banquet room of the Golden Corral.

Ho must deliver a killer blumpkin.

I didn't watch all of the first video but what I did see made me think of Julia Roberts doing a terrible Nico impression with a few Cher hairflips thrown in for good measure.

Strange. It's awful singing, but strangely alluring - a bit like watching a very disturbing art film about a mother who eats her newborn.

Yes, it kind of reminds me of watching the film, Antichrist, where the wife mutilates her genitals.

LMAO! It's like music by Fellini.

It sort of reminded me of the South Park episode where the kids started a talent agency and the City Wok guy's wife was their client.

Her EP is number 2 on I Tunes now. Guess they saw a different performance last night.

Wait, did she get permission from Paz de Huerta (or whatever her name is) to use her drunken stumbling in her video? Wow, that was kinda low...

Never heard of her. She is dreadful. What the hell is happening to the music industry?

Callie's picture

Is this her Gretchen Mol Vanity Fair moment or will she actually get a Vanity Fair cover?

It's not often I say "Dear God that was awful", but congrats Lana del Ray; you earned it.

We turned it on when she was singing and kept waiting for the skit to end. Shit was awful.

You have to remember that SNL had Ke$ha as a 'musical guest' once upon a time.

LOL@ Juliette Lewis saying this chick looked like a 12 yr old girl, trying to sing in her bedroom.

But why are you on TWITTER, ffs Juliette?

louise_brooks's picture

OMG WTF was that shit?? Hopefully this is the hipster jumped the shark moment. That was just dreadful.

Pincheborracha's picture

Daaaaamn!! That was horrid. What a wanna be! Shes trying way too hard and failing miserably here. Everything about her is fake: her name, her face, her hair.
I liked her until i heard her sing live on XMU and i knew she couldnt really sing and her Daddys $ (he is an internet domain name bilionaire) is pushing her.

She does look like the city twin to Phoebe Price's country twin.

Thanks DirtyWHoreMouth, I'm going to hunt on the youtube to see if there is a clip up already.

super-ette's picture

I heard this song (Video Games) on the radio and didn't like it. I think she probably imbibed because she was nervous to sing in front of a live audience.

Gardening Girl's picture

Bitch wishes she was Fiona Apple. She looks like a better worked on version of Pheobe Price. Do people really listen to her shit songs? They all sound alike, like a sad chick on cough syrup.

It's like performance art of a nervous and untalented high school girl getting up on stage for the first and last time, after which she is booed and the audience throws stuff at her.

Wait...

Tuna? Martini? Bikini?

Vince might be onto something here...hmmmmmmmm

GG he was pretty good. HE came out during weekend update as Casey Anthony's dog.

Have I been in a coma or something, because I have no idea who she is or what the hell it was she was trying to do last night.

cocoebert's picture

Yeah, I watched that hot mess last night and couldn't believe it. Glad to see I'm not the only one. I felt a bit "get off my lawn" but now I see I wasn't alone.

@WinterOwl22

It's funny you mention Fiona Apple because I felt like she was trying to be Apple-like in her singing style, but failed miserably. Fiona is not only talented but has massive amounts of passion. This bish was too precious and cold for that.

Fucking_Classy's picture

Yeah, she's fake as hell (and bitch has THE NERVE to deny having plastic surgery, honey, we've got EYES, for fuck's sake!) but in a world dominated by CaCa, Katy Perry and other shit, she's pretty fucking talented.

ETA: GOD. I only knew the studio version of this song, which is good, but the live one is AWFUL.

Deb, that's why I looked her up. They were comparing her to Fiona and i understand the vocal comparison. But her backstory and some of her song, not to mention her plastic face, just really turned me off.
