Why's Lorde more respected than Lana Del Rey? Does 1 reason come down to Lorde having more success earlier on compared to LDR?

She's more talented/has talent imo.

Lana's SNL moment

The girl can sing we all know

better writing, production, image, personality, fanbase, clothing, gimmick, hair, management, vocals

Lana still has better music.

Born to Die >>>>>> Pure Heroine

Are we only talking the US now? Because Lana her respect, at least in Europe is unmatched by Lorde.

I hate to "this" people, but, this.

Also at least Lana didn't sell out and release a mainstream generic hit like Royals was

The Teen Hottie factor.

I think Lana is more respected, but teen hottie has earned their paychecks too.

How can somebody "sell out" with the very first thing they released ever??? I mean... what was there to sell out?

How can you sell out when your debut is already a mainstream hit...

Lorde makes better music. Lana sings so monotone and boring, at least Lorde has some variation

"Royals" is a "generic hit," yet the only reason Lana got a legitimate hit is because some DJ released a dance club remix of her song? Is this backwards morning or some mess?

They are very early in their careers. Tables can turn.

Are u talking about Lana?

Cedric Gervais though...

yeah some DJ not Lana. not the same thing.
