*one EP.

Which contained Limbo, A live performance of Plain Gold Ring & a Cameo Lover remix. Of course it wasn't gonna sell gazillion of copies.

Lana's EP didn't sell.

And her SOLO stuff remains in the back of the chart's bus, while Lana SOLO stuff is best selling and award winning.

Which is why her earlier videos have recieved awards, Cameo Lover was nominated for Best Video and had a Song of the Year nomination.
Again, all of her solo work has had little promotion and didn't have a large label or money backing it yet it still managed to chart and recieve success in Australia and New Zealand.
You keep going on about being on topic, yet what does this have to do with talent?

And Lana's EP flopped so....

Without being featured on a #1 hit song, without ANY type of promo, and only being available on iTunes for a couple of weeks. Sis, there's no comparison.

And let's be honest, none of you would even know/care/stan for her if she wasn't in that song.

I've listened to the song since last summer. And berberocka introduced her to me a while ago

Lewis Corner rated the song four stars out of five and described it as "a Bon Iver-styled ballad for the music-buying masses"

ll Lamb of About.com gave the song the perfect rating of five stars stating, "Pop perfection does not come along often, but Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know" is flawless." He also said that while it is not flashy, the song is memorable and destined to be a classic. He explained it reminded him of Human League's "Don't You Want Me" and Sting. He concluded that "Somebody That I Used to Know" will be one of the top songs of 2012

Gotye's latest song featuring Kimbra 'Somebody That I Used to Know' had become somewhat of an unofficial anthem for the festival... every car was cranking it over their speakers all day, every day.

And where are these so called critics raving about how she makes the song's success/ her vocals etc?

Thank you, and Gui is in here talking about chart positions when he made the thread asking about talent

The song wasn't even slaying the charts when that EP was put on iTunes.

Kimbra never promoted any of the songs.

She said in an interview that she written everything on her album but a sentence or two and most of her songs off her album were written demos before she got signed. Also that she had change a few melodies and choruses due to her label. But that's besides the point she's still a talented writer.

She's fake from head to toe, so this can be fake too

She won ONE award that was in 2007. Out of having numerous singles/songs out since 2005.

Not really, her EP was miles better than BTD.

It had nothing to do with the chart performance, they pulled off because her indie label couldn't fund it.

Do you even comprehend the fact that those songs were made when she had even less support than she does now?
In any case, you act as though Lana is some kind of awarded-god. I'm sure I can count on one hand how many awards she has won.
Talent: Kimbra > Lana Del Rey
Questions?

[joshsquat]

These threads just keep getting messier and messier.

Lord, nobody can enjoy any two artists because y'all compare them and rip one of them to shreds. I don't get it.

So were Lana's yet Video Games still won more awards in 2011 than Kimbra.
At Kimbra being so "talented" yet being paid dust at nearly every award show and credible indie awards since 2005.

What almighty awards were those for that song in particular?
Talent isn't expressed in award shows. You guys are really reaching.

[PopBoi]

Lana because she's better.

Do you think talent is based on awards?
