Lana Del Rey - Saturday Night Live - 1.14.12

I was just catching up with my DVR and was watching Lana Del Rey perform on SNL last night. Honestly, I had no idea who this person is (I realize now the buzz around her). I have heard her song 'Video Games' (which I like) but never knew who sang it.

I actually enjoy her music, but you could tell from her performance she is way out of her realm. Looking uncomfortable, frightened and not even coming close to a professional audition, LDR was clueless on how to perform to a live national audience. She was heavily criticized via twitter and national media. When I watched her, I just wanted to hit her in the face. She annoyed me that much with her poofed hair, doily dress and humorous seductive attempts at dancing.

But don't feel too sorry for her. She has a multi-millionaire father who has been running her career since infancy. She shouldn't have any issue later on. But judge for yourself.

  1. Augh, I hadn't been exposed to this before now. I also kind of like the studio version of Video Games despite not being able to take anything with those lyrics seriously. But her live vocals are pretty bad, even in other videos.
