Lana Del Rey getting "a 9-5"?

[quote]"I’ve been very lucky to follow my muse for the last 18 years, since I was 18. Sometimes that has taken me super far away from music into other mediums and other job opportunities that have nothing to do with the arts at all. I’m very flexible and what I’ve come to understand is that if you follow what you’re interested in, you’ll end up being the most creative in that field. Even if you get a 9-5 after you got the decade award, you need to do what feels right."

Is she serious?

Let's be honest, she was barely an "artist".

I expect to see this annoying woman behind a counter in Rodeo Drive.

She thinks pretty highly of herself.

by Anonymousreply 3December 7, 2021 1:43 AM

She has a career and hits?

Lana Del Rey is really popular and she makes solid albums. You all sound old as fuck.

by Anonymousreply 5December 7, 2021 1:52 AM

That’s hilarious, R5, because her music would only appeal to people old as fuck.

Her music appeals to hearing-impaired people.

Love Lana

“My pussy tastes like Pepsi-cola.” I listen to her all the damn time.

Lana is a guilty pleasure of mine. She can barely sing, her songs all sound the same, but she taps into a vibe I love: Lost Americana whore, bendering on a country road, looking for dick or daddy or both, drinking a soda, waiting to die.

I dated a loser who was into her music so now I just associate Lana Del Rey with vapid, directionless pussies.

Look at you kids with your vintage muuusic Comin thru satellites while cruuuuusing

I’m not a fan and as someone said her songs all sound the same but sometimes she can really nail it and when she does I love them.

Maybe she's cueing up to do an ethereal rendition of the Dolly Parton classic.

Go Lana!

She's arrogant and full of shit but I can't help but like her. Her music is relaxing and atmospheric. She does work hard at what she does and nothing she makes at this point seems commercial. It's all a vanity project. Art for the artists sake. But I dig it. She hasn't reached an irredeemable status like Kanye.

by Anonymousreply 16December 15, 2021 8:08 PM

Isn't she a raging bitch and a Trump slut?

by Anonymousreply 17December 15, 2021 8:20 PM

Isn't she a trust-fund baby? I don't think she ever needs to work regardless of how her albums sell. I think she has a very well-produced sound for someone with so little vocal ability and talent.

by Anonymousreply 18December 15, 2021 8:21 PM

Good for her if she decides to do a 9-5 job. It’s better than someone like Aaron Carter desperately grifting because he doesn’t think he should have to work.

by Anonymousreply 19December 15, 2021 8:29 PM

I don't think she supports Trump. She seems very liberal and okay with minorities and gays. As she should as they make up a big part of fanbase anyway. I think her obsession with Old Hollywood glamour and WASP culture and fucking that hunky Okie cop gets her accusations of being a MAGAT. Ironic as Madonna similarly was obsessed with Old Hollywood and would bleach her hair and dress up as a European aristocrat but nobody accused her of being Republican.

She is not a Trump supporter. This is a fact.

She is a Biden supporter. This is a fact.

I like her style, but only a handful of her songs have resonated with me. She needs a genius producer to take over the controls and say, "No, Lana" (same with Bjork)

Today I was washing dishes and singing, "We both knowww, the history of violence that surrounds youuu".

It's the racist and pro-Trump stuff she says that leads to the accusations, r20. Let's not pretend she's just misunderstood.

She reminds me of Erykah Badu (a Black woman) who says similar things that gets taken out of context.

[quote] “The madness of Trump,” Del Rey said to Mac, “as bad as it was, it really needed to happen. We really needed a reflection of our world’s greatest problem, which is not climate change but sociopathy and narcissism. Especially in America. It’s going to kill the world. It’s not capitalism, it’s narcissism.”

She's basically saying this is a wake-up call that the willfully ignorant cannot ignore. It's not different than the viral videos of police killings of Black people which woke up ignorant suburban white people to the effects of police brutality. America is a society of emotionally immature adults with an entitlement complex who choose to be distracted and entertained than informed about the world around them.

[quote] “I thought it was very, very clearly obvious that he knew what he was doing the whole way,” Mac replied, after which Del Rey continued: “Because he’s got delusions of grandeur.”

[quote] The Grammy-nominated artist clarified Tuesday on Twitter that she had been making the argument that he “is so significantly impaired that he may not know what he was doing due to his significant lack of empathy,” which she identified earlier in the interview as an issue plaguing the country.

How is this exactly pro-Trump? She is calling him sick in the head which is what he is. Narcissistic sociopaths do not have a concept of "right" or "wrong" like regular people do. They are moral relativists. Trump is dangerous because he's mentally ill but is a rich white man which serves as a shield and that's what got him that cult of millions of sycophants. People see themselves in Trump and look up to him. It's a reflection of how morally bankrupt our culture has become. Outside of metropolitan areas, The US is still conservative and right-wing. Working class white Americans cannot accept they are losing their cultural dominance and becoming irrelevant. They are bringing it out on Democrats and minority groups rather than looking inward and embracing the change. It's absolutely a sign of delusion, narcissism and entitlement. I do think she puts her foot in her mouth a lot. But what she said here is not wrong.

Lots of people that are "okay with minorities and gays" voted for Trump.

R28 What evidence is there she voted for Trump? I know Hollywood is filled with closet Republicans and all but nothing about LDR screams Republicunt unlike Gwen Stefani or Candace Cameron.

R4, I'm no fan, but you do sound dense.

All of her albums have made the Billboard Top 10, and she has had four Top 40 hits. Her concerts sell out too. The little girlz are nuts about her.

The OP's picture tells us this middle-aged woman with the fake name is now getting a fat face.

He "doesn’t know that he’s inciting a riot and I believe that."

There's a bunch more stuff here where she's racist and sexist, I'm not going to cut & paste it for you, you either believe it or you don't.

Her SNL performance was one of the top-3 worst of all time.

by Anonymousreply 34December 15, 2021 10:44 PM

R33 If you're talking about her critique of Beyonce, Nicki, Rihanna, Cardi, Meghan, Doja and Ariana (who is also white) then I don't consider that racist. All of those girls are just pop stars who make music for a general audience, they are not the voices for any minority group. They just exist to make money for record execs. Hip-hop is the most popular genre now and overtook rock. Besides Taylor and Gaga, most of the modern pop girls are Black or Latina. LDR was just pointing out how she felt it was unfair that female artists can be hypersexual and aggressive and praised as feminist while she chooses to have a more "sensitive" and "submissive" persona and gets accused of being anti-feminist. I think her comment was kinda stupid and not planned out well. But I fail to see what was racist about that. Most Beyonce and Nicki stans are actually white gays. A lot of Black women irl actually do not like how the media represents them and some even see those artists as a contribution to negative stereotypes. It's ridiculous to assume people of color would automatically be offended by this. It seemed white people wanted to make this an issue. I'm not white and I wasn't offended at all by her comments. She's entitled to her opinion. Though, I thought it was in bad taste and hypocritical on her part too.

Ah, Elizabeth Grant. Yes her father is wealthy and bankrolled her early on. She would have never made it big without Daddy's money and connections.
