this is what happens when you sign to a major label before you're really ready
laurie_springs 15th-Jan-2012 07:37 am (UTC)
pm.

And what's worse is that her interviews show how she's not up for this kind of exposure at all.

no,
her previous interview shows that she has no motivation to even sing

she shouldnt be on SNL if her heart and soul arent in it
tankmachine 15th-Jan-2012 07:40 am (UTC)
i really just don't get it

if she wasn't ready for the attention then why did she sign with a label like Interscope?? like couldn't she start with either an indie (who would expect less from her at this point in her career) or self-release and let things go from there

i'm honestly not a hater of her or her music, I'm just perplexed at her in general
blue_skyyy 15th-Jan-2012 08:49 am (UTC)
She needs to work on her stage presence i.e. she has none. I don't even like her and I felt so bad for her. She wasn't ready for SNL.
jennitarox 15th-Jan-2012 07:29 am (UTC)
her voice was all over the place

Poor girl :(
rhapsodeeinblue 15th-Jan-2012 07:33 am (UTC)
MTE. I feel bad for her.
ilikeandrewbird 15th-Jan-2012 07:40 am (UTC)
why? she said that shes not really into music
parisdiorchanel 15th-Jan-2012 02:18 pm (UTC)
ikr. I just wanted to hug her last night. :(
04nbod 15th-Jan-2012 02:38 pm (UTC)
She was awful on Jonathan Ross here in the UK last week too
celtic_thistle 15th-Jan-2012 11:01 pm (UTC)
She looked so uncomfortable :/ Her small shows, she's cute and has presence. I think she needs coaching if she's going to have this level of exposure.

apprently she doesn't even care much about singing so...
rawr_santi 15th-Jan-2012 07:30 am (UTC)
my friend is cheesing hard over her performance on twitter.
keskt 15th-Jan-2012 07:30 am (UTC)
how was daniel radcliffe as a host?
winninghearts 15th-Jan-2012 07:31 am (UTC)
He was amazing.

vehiclesshockme 15th-Jan-2012 07:31 am (UTC)
He did a really good job for what he had to work with.

I agree. He was doing really well with the shitty sketches they put him in.
allhopelost88 15th-Jan-2012 07:37 am (UTC)
he did an amazing job with the material he was given and he seemed really enthusiastic
ch33rylips 15th-Jan-2012 08:13 am (UTC)
He made the shitty material he was given werk
angel_dust_fury 15th-Jan-2012 03:59 pm (UTC)
He was great. It's online if you want to see it.

He was awesome
winninghearts 15th-Jan-2012 07:30 am (UTC)
The Video Games one was even worse.

Before SNL I had almost no opinion of her, except that I felt like I wouldn't be surprised if she turned out to be a robot. Now she is more humanized for me, mostly because I feel really embarrassed for her. Poor girl, it was really too soon for her to do something like this. :/
onyxobsidian 15th-Jan-2012 07:31 am (UTC)
I thought she was just an ONTD celeb and then I was like, oh, SNL? Damn.

lol me too I hadn't even heard her sing before
fauxkaren 15th-Jan-2012 07:46 am (UTC)
I'd only ever seen her mentioned here and on tumblr. I figured she was a construct of the collective internet consciousness. And then she showed up on SNL.
thebadunkadunk 15th-Jan-2012 07:52 am (UTC)
Same!
rogueguy 15th-Jan-2012 12:58 pm (UTC)
lol same

mots_inutiles 15th-Jan-2012 04:00 pm (UTC)
I honestly hadn't even listened to her music before last night. I just stared, open-mouthed, and couldn't believe the shit that went down. My boyfriend was like, "is she on meth?" Did no one decide to pull her after hearing her during sound checks? I mean wtf? It was awful.
beatlesluv 15th-Jan-2012 06:43 pm (UTC)
Blue jeans was atrocious I thought VG was a touch better but not by much...i had to change the channel i was so embarrassed
cabernet 15th-Jan-2012 07:30 am (UTC)
Her stans are being so frustratingly delusional about this right now on tumblr
winninghearts 15th-Jan-2012 07:32 am (UTC)
ikr, I tried to look at the Lana Del Rey tag and I just could not. Apparently, anyone who thinks she was less than stellar is a stupid cunt who couldn't do any better so you have no right to say anything Lana is perfection!!!!!!
cabernet 15th-Jan-2012 07:33 am (UTC)
It makes me so mad that so many people think that admiring a person means you can't admit when they fuck up
modern_love 15th-Jan-2012 07:33 am (UTC)
Ikr? I follow quite a few and lawdy...
chuckisfuckis 15th-Jan-2012 07:35 am (UTC)
I know! I love it.
laurie_springs 15th-Jan-2012 07:39 am (UTC)
lol her tag is a MESS rn.
londonshowers 15th-Jan-2012 07:50 am (UTC)
they're also delusional in this post tbh
heart_iswild 15th-Jan-2012 07:14 pm (UTC)
it's making me hate her. ONTD stans are so fucking stupid- they try so hard to defend and excuse their faves till the death instead of focusing on reality and the fact that all they're doing is making everybody else hate them.
celtic_thistle 15th-Jan-2012 11:02 pm (UTC)
ikr I am a fan and I admit she was not good last night. Not OH MY GOD ATROCIOUS but certainly not good.
nappyxheadedxho 15th-Jan-2012 07:30 am (UTC)
HOLY SHIT

I turned off the video immediately

SNL is a career destroyer
lizzka 15th-Jan-2012 04:50 pm (UTC)
unless you're flawless like adele and then it's your big break. she was as unkown in the us as lana when she was on snl in 2008 and it was a game changer for her.
loudpunk 15th-Jan-2012 06:05 pm (UTC)
i remember that performance! i was watching SNL with a bunch of friends, none of having any real idea who she was, and we were all speechless.
beatlesluv 15th-Jan-2012 06:23 pm (UTC)
if you're flaw free like adele than it is a career maker
ebertrules 15th-Jan-2012 07:30 am (UTC)
she promised to kill herself if this happened right?
tankmachine 15th-Jan-2012 07:31 am (UTC)
r.i.p. lizzy grant a.k.a. lana del rey :\

omg I forgot about that
laurie_springs 15th-Jan-2012 07:39 am (UTC)
I swear I didn't read that at all in that article even though it was in the title...
ashleylouwho 15th-Jan-2012 11:36 am (UTC)
Are you excited?

Yeah … I’m excited if it goes well. If it doesn’t, I’m gonna kill myself! But yeah, what an honor. And who knows why, but it’s really nice for me.

stellar_kar 15th-Jan-2012 07:43 am (UTC)
honestly it should have been ashlee simpson though
rollogreb 15th-Jan-2012 07:44 am (UTC)
loooooooooooooooooolll
lilibeth 15th-Jan-2012 08:12 am (UTC)
if what did? she was a musical guest? or bombing?
beatlesluv 15th-Jan-2012 06:24 pm (UTC)
are you being serious rn? my heart just sank
emyouknit 16th-Jan-2012 12:48 am (UTC)
im guessing she was just joking! (at least i hope so...:()
vehiclesshockme 15th-Jan-2012 07:30 am (UTC)
I felt so bad for her.
likegunfire 15th-Jan-2012 07:30 am (UTC)
it was good enough

haters should try it before they hate

mte

ppl have sounded way worse/not at all like the record
classic_mold137 15th-Jan-2012 07:39 am (UTC)
Actually, I was just thinking she sings kinda like me, which is not a compliment.
laurie_springs 15th-Jan-2012 07:40 am (UTC)
I like how everyone forgot how much they always hate whoever does SNL because lbr all of those performances are shitty.

Even The Black Keys can't save that stage.
publicfrenemy 15th-Jan-2012 08:00 am (UTC)
I would be embarrassed if I did this at karaoke night, tbh.
leatherandjeans 15th-Jan-2012 09:23 am (UTC)
I don't care for her at all but I thought she sounded ok. About the same as she usually does, which imo isn't great, but some people like that sound. The only real issue is how she performed it. She lacked confidence and charisma on stage.
smolderhotter 15th-Jan-2012 04:36 pm (UTC)
it wasn't good.

I love her with all my heart, but even I have to admit that this was bad.
beatlesluv 15th-Jan-2012 06:45 pm (UTC)
it was bad, but nothing tops ashlee simpson
overprotected 16th-Jan-2012 04:31 pm (UTC)
i'm sure plenty of people here have sung on stage before in front of people

not on SNL, but that's not really relevant because all of her televised performances have been bad regardless.
scriptedending 15th-Jan-2012 07:30 am (UTC)
i am waiting to watch, snl just started here. i swear i only miss the east coast for ontd's live posts.
veiledxposure 15th-Jan-2012 07:30 am (UTC)
And it's my favourite song of hers too. Completely ruined it. :(
