Netherlands DESTROY Lana Del Rey + tour
Dutch media and concert goers are destroying Lana Del Rey, her singing, and her tour.
Quote:
Lana del Rey laat ook de meisjes gillen
Dat Lana del Rey sinds Video Games is uitgegroeid tot een echte superster blijkt op woensdagavond wel in de Heineken Music Hall, waar hysterische fans om het hardst gillen om aandacht.
Er is sinds het laatste optreden van de zangeres op Nederlandse bodem veel veranderd, zoveel is al snel duidelijk.
Toen keek zo'n tweehonderd man sceptisch naar de show, nu gilt ruim vijfduizend man zich de keel schor. Van dolgelukkige jongens tot hyperventilerende meisjes.
Lana Del Rey maakt graag gebruik van de fans op de eerste rij, wat soms doet vermoeden dat er een boyband in de Amsterdamse zaal speelt vanavond. Ze neemt na het eerste liedje al uitgebreid de tijd om te signeren, knuffelen en zelfs gesprekjes aan te knopen met de fans.
Dat is in principe een sympathieke actie, ware het niet dat er achter de eerste rij duizenden mensen staan die gewoon liedjes willen horen. En zeker tijdens het eerste deel van de show schort het daar een beetje aan. De nummers die wel gespeeld worden, onder meer Cola en Born To Die, komen bovendien bepaald niet goed uit de verf.
Gitarist
Dat komt niet alleen door de zang van Lana Del Rey (die bij vlagen wel erg teleurstellend is), maar ook door de meegebrachte band. Met name de gitarist zorgt ervoor dat de arrangementen, die doorgaans juist in hun simpelheid sterk zijn, onnodig om zeep geholpen worden.
Het gezelschap dat de zangeres vanavond begeleidt lijkt een optelsom van haar twee eerdere shows in de Benelux. Een band zoals tijdens het optreden in de kleine zaal van Paradiso en een strijkkwartet zoals tijdens haar show op Rock Werchter afgelopen jaar. Een optelsom die uiteindelijk een negatieve uitkomst oplevert.
Hysterie
Maar gelukkig is er ruimte voor meer dan alleen een klaagzang. Young and Beautiful, dat de zangeres schreef voor de film The Great Gatsby, krijgt de wonderschone uitvoering die het nummer verdient.
Ook aan de uitvoering Ride, inclusief uitgebreide video-intro, Summertime Sadness en Gods And Monsters valt weinig op te merken, maar daar lijkt het in ieder geval Lana Del Rey niet om te doen.
De overtuiging die mist tijdens het zingen vanavond, komt pas naar voren als ze tijdens afsluiter National Anthem weer het publiek induikt om lachend met idolate fans op de foto te gaan.
Bijna 20 minuten neemt ze de tijd voor hen om vervolgens weg te lopen, terwijl de duizenden daarachter wederom met vraagtekens in de ogen toekijken. De hysterie wint het vanavond van de muziek en dat is jammer.

They point out she focused all her energy on the people in the front row + didn't focus on singing.. She did a lot of hugging/signing autographs etc during the show, while not perforaing songs.. Hence they say there was a lack of songs, especially in the first part of the show. Also, her singing wasn't that good and the band murdered the instrumentals of her songs... They say the show was more about hysteria than music
In the comment section there are a lot of people that were really disappointed by the show and who swear to never go to one of her shows again

I don't know what to think about this.. a friend of mine went to the Amsterdam show and said she enjoyed every second of the concert, also that Lana sounded great and delivered a great performance.
Of course it's always subjective how people feel about something like a live performance, but people all over Europe have loved this tour, and I've also seen her on it and couldn't find anything off about her voice or stage presence. Maybe they were just looking for a reason to trash her.

I agree, it's always a personal opinion, I have no idea because I wasn't there, but I was actually really surprised by this as well. It's good that her fans weren't let down, that's the most important thing cuz they are the ones that buy the tickets 
Also, I guess it's still very new to her to be so successful in countries such as the Netherlands? Might explain why she was so focused on the fans (which is really lovely tbh, but she might just have to save that for after the show  )

That's disappointing, but I'm sure it's not actually as bad as that makes it seem. Lana will grow as a performer, she''s still new to the industry.

You must have been reading Jemuel DaSilva's reviews, the BTW Ball was very well received by real critics.

I agree. Lana seems generally well received here actually.

I haven't read a lot of reviews about the tour but everyone I've seen on here post about it so far loved it, so I guess the fans are very pleased with it, which is great indeed
When I saw her, she went down to the barrier during the first song (Cola) and then again after she finished the last song. It did not interrupt the concert or take away anything from the experience for the people who weren't in the front and couldn't interact with her. It's not like we were waiting there for long amounts of time while she tended to the front row. Unless she did something different in Amsterdam, they are just exaggerating  I thought it was really sweet of her to meet some of the fans during/immediately after the performance, because it probably would not have been possible any other way and it's obvious that she loves mingling with the fans and vice versa. It did not affect the concert or her performance, though.
