She's right. American music is generally ****.

But BTD has essentially the same score and I can't read through 38 album reviews. Will someone please link me to a legit album review that trashes her for being rich or having a music career before BTD?

[Tainted Blood]

This interview could have convinced me if i wasn't aware of some of the things she said before (on Youtube, ...). She's far from being a nice person. And her fans are not better

I still remember how she called her own fan "c*nt" on Youtube. The girl was just doing a parody

Ms. Del Rey, 25, can do better, most likely, or at least different. Earlier, under the name Lizzy Grant, she put out a Lilith Fair-worthy release called “Kill Kill,” that’s sprightly by comparison to “Born to Die.” On the new album four-minute songs feel like seven or eight, so packed are they with short verses and bridges and changes and sturm und drang, to say nothing of Ms. Del Rey’s languor, which can verge on pallor.

That was certainly the affect when she performed on “Saturday Night Live” a couple of weeks ago, looking uncertain, like a child singing her grandmother’s favorite songs, dressed in her grandmother’s clothes. The persistent purr she nails on her record was here punctuated with evident breaths and awkward silences. When she hit her lower register, it was bumpy, as if she needed a backhoe. Her eyes avoided the cameras.

What exactly do SNL and her first EP have anything to do with BTD? They didnt even mention a SINGLE SONG.

But apparently she feels there are so many critics out to get her in the US that she's had to move to the UK. I mean, it definitely comes off to the average reader as "all the American critics are out to get me", whether or not she wanted it to come off that way.

She says her homeland can't handle me. Women in general are much more consequent in such things and don't forget her friend lives there but why should she speak about her friend she never speaks about her privat relationship and it's probably not alowed to ask for the journalists. So it sounds a little harsh.

And this is what you call an album review?

Good interview

at the haters
Most of the review for BtD are about her rich dad, the SNL or about her lips, but they don't even mention a song.

[leonardo_91]

She must be mad she wasn't nominated for any Grammys.
I'm sure she will get some recognition at the Brits.

[LDYGG]

Why should I? Just because many American journalists can't stand me? My album is a multi-million bestseller. I have even won awards.Only in my home country, the USA, that are the inspiration of all of my songs, one doesn't know how to treat me. That's also why I moved away from there and why I live in London now.

Wow, very arrogant. Her fans have always made it seem like she's very humble. Is this the real Lana, the Lana her fans don't get to see?

I cannot at her fleeing America because we don't use her.

[Lil Misty]

No lies!

[Robert]

I love Lana but she comes off a little bitter and arrogant here tbh.

But how come Pitchfork and all U.S. critics praised her music since the Video Games release ( Pitchfork even named it best new track)

that's because Video Games is actually good

I mean, she might have been a victim of circumstances, but critics really weren't out to get her

Since when did the US market only matter?
