Since some of you make a hobby trying to discredit Beyoncé with any given opportunity, let me boil this thread town for ya'll:

Lana was compared to Beyoncé. That means Beyoncé is the standard. So you can attempt to throw your weak shade at Beyoncé's music or her videos, but they're comparing what Lana COULD DO to something Beyoncé did, which was groundbreaking.

Now I could really go off and get into why a lot of ya'll Lana stans don't really understand or hyperbolize her lyrics because you think that they mean something more than they do / carry more depth than they actually do and that her success reflects the Internet generation's desire (and failed attempts) to be profound and dramatic, but let me just not because I actually do like the good sis Del Rey. She makes catchy, alternative chamber-pop music.

But please don't get it twisted. Subjectivity is one thing; ya'll are allowed to like Katy Perry for all I care, but don't use your artist or their music to try and come for someone who is already an established legend halfway into her career. Just don't do it.

You are so kind to me, remembering where I have to look up things in a Lana related thread. I bet you read most of them more than I do and always giving us your ubiased opinion that the mods often regard with a few shining WP.

Every little helps Although this is technically a Beyoncé thread too.

I have only gotten 1 WP from a Lana thread and I'm pretty sure it was who you reported me so.... That's certainly an interesting viewpoint

Lana's music/performing skills are panned + she only has one mild hit in the world's biggest market. This comparison is insulting to Beyonce who is a legend.

Welp

Are you being serious? Lana released BTD as the indie wave had already begun. It wasn't risky because she had nothing to lose and her entire success was manufactured (I.e the video games video) and the SNL promo slot, which is an example of where she couldn't deliver even with the opportunity to promote herself that most artists get later on in their careers.

Bjork is critically acclaimed and a sonical innovator. She isn't pretentious in the slightest; her music is actually experimental and unique whereas Lana's is simple pop which is sugarcoated. Don't even attempt to compare the two because they are polar opposites.

Don't tell that Adele

Did you not read the first page of the thread?

Just because they pack a harder punch doesn't mean they're more/less insecure than any other stanbase.

Now dear, when was performing ever brought into the picture? Besides Lana has greatly improved since then.

And it's funny that you used a Diva gif when we were talking about the quality of music. Diva is widely regarded by many to not only be one of Beyoncé's worst songs but one of the worst songs EVER!

Boo, when you can't serve vocally; it makes wonder how your record has been re-worked just sayin.

don't push that; one of the worst song EVER is probably on Lana own album. I chose Diva because of the GIFs, and while it's far from being her best song, it clocks; I'm not here to list Beyoncé quality songs it would take me too much time.

if she didnt want to start a mess she should have add "imo" to her post; I can understand that not everybody relates and like R&B music but don't make look like Beyoncé isn't the most critically acclaimed woman of this generation (with Erykah Badu, Janelle Monae & Gaga) when it comes to make great body of work (albums).

Because people resent Beyoncé. Girl is still slaying 17 years into her career. Still setting trends and still leading the way. Won't be any different 10 years from now and they know it.

I feel sick. Lana better than Beyonce? Is this how far the delusion will go?

Adele was once asked about her first ever TV show along with Paul McCartney and Björk and she

said Paul was friendly and a Gentleman but Björk didn't deign to look at her but it was alright because

she likes Björk's music.

Lana Del Rey is an exotic, haunting, and shy siren.

You can keep pretending like Beyonce is the best but its not the truth.

There's nothing manufactured about Video Games or its video. Lana has been doing her homemade videos and put them on youtube since what 2007? You tried I guess.
Oh, get over SNL already. Even the US has... Yes the indie wave was catching up during that period but Lana was the one who actually made it with this type of music. Anyone who tried to make it with an indie song failed and faded quite fast (Gotye).
Lana's music is not standard pop. Anyone who claims otherwise is clearly deluded. Hardly any major popstar puts out a 5 minute midtempo about playing video games while singing in a jazzy tone.
And I never disrespected Bjork, I was just referring to the fact many people perceive her as pretentious just like Lana.
That's all I guess!
