Lana Del Rey is the most controversial artist that you’ve either never heard of or are sick of hearing of. As an artist, she’s really no worse than any number of singer-songwriters–decent drowsy voice, tasteful arrangements–as a controversy magnet, she’s near-perfect. Every successive single-”Video Games,” “Blue Jeans” and now “Born to Die,” has attracted the same sort of talk. The YouTube comments sections are full of creepy sexual remarks, comparisons to Lady Gaga, complaints about the comparisons to Lady Gaga, mentions of George Bush and comments about the size of her lips. Blog comment sections are full of creepy sexual remarks, comparisons to “fake” “pop” “artists” (see, her old performing name was Lizzy Grant, and she released some material under that name before retooling her persona), mentions of plastic surgery and comments about the size of her lips.
Of course, now that Del Rey and label Interscope are aware that people are talking on the Internet, they’ve given the people what they want: videos practically designed to make people swoon, yell or roll their eyes! So in the spirit of the last, let’s go over the video the only way that fits.
