errr... Lana Del Rey?
So who else wants to admit liking her? She's a bit cheezy but she can really sing... and she is really nice to look at, imo. I don't mind the David Lynch theme, either... or the upper collagen lip.
To me, it seems like female singers have all sounded very similar in recent years... like some nu-Billie Holiday thing. LDR doesn't sound like any of them... Adelle, etc. (Adelle is probably the best one of those types though).

I gave her a listen the other day to see what all the hype was about and turned it off out of boredom mid-song.

Lyrics aren't great and she sometimes rips herself off melody-wise.. but I like her voice. Hopefully people will still like her after her album comes out (Jan.20th) and she'll make a better second record.
But yeah, Hype city... and she's gonna be on SNL before her record debuts! She got hooked up fast.

Re: errr... Lana Del Rey?
wow you wanna start an internet storm in here too? LOL, j/k.
When i first heard the song video games i thought, ok nice song even though the image she is portraying is banking on the whole "2011 feeding off nostalgia vibe" . all of the sudden she gets hyped by all the blogs and whatnots, portraying her as this new breakout indie artist doing something "original". Then the shitstorm came out about her past and that this image of hers was a product of a team of marketing record execs even though initially she's being hyped up as this new big Indie thing when all the while it was a product of a massive marketing campaign/hype machine, targeted at retro-obsessed hipsters
Still nice song. her other songs are just OK, more or less in the same vein, but live i find her voice annoying. we'll see what happens when her debut is released.

"Grant was born in New York City and grew up in Lake Placid, New York.[8][9] When she was fifteen, she left Lake Placid to go to boarding school in Connecticut.[10] She is the daughter of domain investor and millionaire Rob Grant.[11][12] Grant's management chose her stage name, Lana Del Rey,[13] "I wanted to be a band but the label I was with and the team I had around me absolutely wanted me to be a solo artist. Lana Del Rey came from a series of managers and lawyers over the last 5 years who wanted a name that they thought better fit the sound of the music.""
really good management

Are your lips real?:
I haven’t had anything done at all. Anyone who’s known me will tell you that. I’m sorry, but I was living in a trailer park for a few years. I didn’t even have enough money to buy Cocoa Puffs. It’s not like I crawled from under the bridge and got surgery. I’m quite pouty. [Laughs.] That’s just how I look when I sing.

Re: errr... Lana Del Rey?
She has a nice voice- not auto tuned, not overly flat, and not especially predictable. I need to listen closer to the lyrics, and the music is pretty uninspired.

I thought that this article about Lana Del Ray and current David Lynch imitators was really on the money.

Re: errr... Lana Del Rey?
she's decent. i kinda like her vibe, but it seems a little inauthentic to me. not sure if anyone's heard the likes of Amy Lavere or Caitlin Rose...been playing those two a lot lately.
