I do, though. She's quite the pill. Always making things awkward at dinner parties.

And there lies the problem. A performer should NEVER utter the words "this doesn't really matter" in regards to a performance opportunity.

I don't get it, either.

I think she's trying to be all "chill" and "let it flow," to appeal to hipsters. Or something.

But it doesn't work. Hipsters still recognize and appreciate musical dedication.

Hopefully she'll get better at singing live (and doing interviews) with time.

This is really gross. Not the first time she says something like this either.

Edit: Have to put in this Kelis quote.

Gag.

Clearly, she can write. She has a striking voice, even if she doesn't know what to do with it.

She's no Milli Vanilli. And that comment is so 1995.

Sorry. I'm a little bitchy today.

Given that her unique tone is one of her most appealing qualities, she should take her vocals skills more seriously.

I don't know it seems she took a page out of the Vanilla Ice handbook but instead of being a white rapper pretending to come from the streets she's a rich white girl pretending to be a hipster from the trailer parks.

Still love Diet Mountain Dew tho

Also, I found the full interview. She was actually talking about her being more than just a voice, she is a writer, producer, director, etc.

She is from the trailer parks, her dad is rich and she moved out at 19, lived in a trailer park and chased her dreams.

How long did she live there for?

until the novelty wore off.

What's her reason for that? Link me to her talking about that please.

"Pitchfork: Your dad is a successful domain investor, but I read that you were living in a trailer park a few years ago. Do you fetishize that trailer park lifestyle?


LDR: My dad is an entrepreneur and an innovator. Being an entrepreneur doesn't make you a rich tycoon and being an innovator doesn't mean that you're successful. It just means that you’re interesting. No one cares that I lived in a park-- Dad loves trailers and is getting one in the Everglades. My first record label gave me a small check and I moved into a park near Manhattan. It's not something I cared to even share but people keep asking me about it. My songs are cinematic so they seem to reference a glamorous era or fetishize certain lifestyles, but that's not my aim. I'm not trying to create an image or a persona. I’m just singing because that’s what I know how to do."

She's totally trying to downplay the success of her father to make her story more believable.

This trailer park story seems to have been pulled together to give the impression of a rags-to-riches transformation, of a girl coming from nothing and achieving fame and success. She may have lived there for a number of years, but it was never due to her financial status.

Interesting. She says her dad is not successful just interesting yet business articles about her dad say otherwise. She also says people didn't offer her opportunities if she changed her look, yet she got lip implants. Why the inconsistencies Lana? I'm not liking it at all.

Love her

Don't get me wrong, I love her to death. But I think she's just a rich girl who sings while she isn't sipping liquid diamonds in the backyard.
