Here’s Lana del Rey at the MTV EMAs ceremony held last night in Frankfurt, Germany. Per her usual red-carpet and photoshoot routine, the big lips and big hair are fully intact. Oddly enough, I don’t mind this dress very much at all. The sapphire blue is a lovely color next to Lana’s hair and skin, and I think this is one of the rare cases where a mullet back actually makes the dress more interesting. Lana was also spotted hugging up on Taylor Swift at the event too. Draw your own conclusions on that one.
For the next week or so, I am fully prepared to weather a Lana del Rey publicity onslaught for her upcoming release of the Born To Die — The Paradise Edition record, which comes out on November 19. At the moment, the convenient focus relies upon Lana’s latest release, “Cola,” which you can hear the (NSFW) lyrics to here. The first line of the song is “My p-ssy tastes like Pepsi Cola,” and Lana is insisting that her boyfriend effectively wrote that intro. Like, she says that is his assessment of how her (to borrow a term from Kaiser) biscuit tastes. Now I don’t personally have a frame of reference to assess whether this is actually possible, but I’ve asked several dudes, who are like, “Uhhh, no way.” Here’s what Lana has to say about it (and here’s a picture of her boyfriend, Barrie-James O’Neill too):
Lana Del Rey has revealed the inspiration behind the bizarre lyrics to her new track “Cola.”
The song, which features on the singer’s forthcoming release Born To Die — The Paradise Edition, features the lyric: “My p-ssy tastes like Pepsi Cola/ My eyes are wide like cherry pie.”
Asked about the phrase, Del Rey said it was something that her boyfriend, Kassidy frontman Barrie-James O’Neill [said] and claimed: “I have a Scottish boyfriend, and that’s just what he says!”
She also told Australian radio station Triple J that although she had been happy to release the song, the people she works with were less enthused. “I didn’t but everyone around me did. They just thought it was really weird – nothing new here,” she said when asked whether she had been hesitant about releasing the track. “For me that song was so cool. The guys got to play electric guitars… the chorus opens up and has tropical undertones. For me, the vibe of it is so good, I love it.”
She added: “There was a lot of laughter. I’m getting lots of Pepsi comments, lots of Pepsi fanmail.”
[From NME]
Man, I listened to the song on YouTube, and I’m ashamed to admit that (aside from the first line), it’s kind of catchy. I am so ashamed to admit this, but one of my gay boyfriends agrees: “It’s not odious, not as somnambulist as her other stuff.” In further (slightly) infuriating news, Born To Die — The Paradise Edition will include the “Blue Velvet” cover that Lana performed for that H&M commercial that was disguised as a homage to bizarro filmmaker David Lynch. Just wait, she’ll show up in one of his upcoming movies too, but at least that will give us a chance to watch Lana try to dress as a leading lady on the red carpet. Can we get some Marchesa on order for this lady? I can’t wait.
Here are some assorted photos of Lana in London and Paris over the past monthish. She’s such a strange combination of “weird” and “famewhore,” isn’t she?

The only reason I have for knowing who this chick is or caring about her schtick is the spoof of Video Games, “Hunger Games.” This place smells like rat piss, my name is Katniss, I play the Hunger Games…
Priceless!

RIGHT?? every time i see her, that plays through my head. So glad it’s not just me.

Well, that is more than I have. I only remember her from the time she sang on SNL and totally bombed! This chick can’t sing, she is a terrible entertainer as she just stood awkwardly on stage and swayed back and forth, and she tried out several different voices while singing the two songs for SNL. I can’t believe that another socialite has weaseled her way into playing pretend for money. More than that, somehow the general public actually is forking over the dough to hear her digitally altered crap.

THANK YOU. I cannot believe that this fraud fakeass whose rich daddy bankrolled her career and make-over has some “fans.” Lana Del Rey isn’t even her real name and she was some bland shitty hipster musician before her fake-ass makeover.

GO AWAY ALREADY! I can’t stand her, nor do I think she’s deserving of any sort of ounce of success. Everyone says, “she tries too hard BUT I like her music.” Well, apparently, she’s not trying hard enough, cause I’d rather hear old people doing the nasty than listen to any one of her songs.
Rant over.

Stylewise, she seems to be inexorably stuck in a 1974 Promsville caricature in her head. That dress and that hair have got to go.

Her plastic surgeon should be shot. She looks very unnatural. Nose, lips very unbalanced for her face. Her lip fillers look painful.

OMG…@Cam S, thanks for providing those links.
I can truly say this girl/woman is talentless. That 1st link you provided, an 8 minute roughly clip of her singing pre-lip inflation, jeezzzzzzz…she’s just standing up on stage WARBLING into a mike. She is tone deaf, & can’t even hit the notes she’s trying to sing. Ugh…just god awful! Cringeworthy indeed. I kinda feel sorry for her actually.

Her face also always looks off somehow (maybe because she can’t look at a camera without tilting her head). This woman’s face pisses me off. She tries so hard to look like 1950s demure beauty but she looks more like “I’m a narcissist, I’m in love with myself and I’m bored when I’m not looking at a mirror”.

Yuck–horrible singer and songwriter. I have no respect for rich kids like her who make it through life not on their own abilities but through the opportunities their parents can buy them. Give me a self-made man/woman any day. She’s an excellent example of what’s wrong with this world. Wish she would disappear.

I would concur, but a quick second of thought reveals that most mens songs and above all hip hop lyrics are riddled with the same disgusting crap, yet they dont get lambasted for doing so.
So, I will lay off the criticism of her until the criticism is the same against men who sing about their d((cks and getting … well you know.

Agreed but I also think their (the men’s) lyrics are gross and TMI. Truly not creative at all.

LOL! Yes-that is one nasty lyric. I’m all for freedom of speech and she certainly has every right to write about how her vagina supposedly tastes but is this really necessary? It’s attention seeking and gross.

Why is this girl famous? Her musical tone is flat and often off key and from what I’ve heard is even worse live. No stage presence at all.
There are so many incredibly talented singers out there who really deserve to be famous. She does not.

will never forget the article in the village voice @ her and her fans (when she first started as lana instead of lizzy). someone in the crowd yelled out “we love you lah-na” to which she replied “how can you love me, you don’t even know how to say my name. it’s loan-ah”.
wtf? she didn’t know how she wanted her fake name pronounced in the beginning. soooo manufactured. and way to shut down the fan love.
not surprising she’d get up on taylor, she’s the exact same thing only the flip side of that spiel… queaaaaaluuuudessssssss and hairspray. so out of it will f*ck anything just taaaaaaake me home. phony baloney.

I don’t have much to say about this asymmetrical girl apart from stating my opinion that at this point she’s still extremely green and got it all bit too quickly and easily. Seems like she’s investing too much time building a mystique when the fundamentals of musicianship require more time to be trained, to grow and honed into something that seems vaguely personal to her, but she’s not hopeless, just backwards in priorities. The back story should never be the front page.
To the importance: No word of a lie, I just dropped a Coke on my lap whist sitting on my bed. That is no way to watch Homeland. I remembered this post when it happened and while my duvet is not fit for mounting at this moment…gentlemen?

She is quite beautiful in the Born To Die music video (which is pretty awesome, and a great song). Other than that I really can’t stand her. She can’t seem to decide on her style, but I like a few of her songs. When she nails a song good, it’s REAL good.
