Anyone that thought that her performances were good are really fooling themselves. She’s a studio artist it seems I can’t tell if she can sing. I wanted her to do well too so I can get the hype but smh. I’ll check out her album but she’s on the overrated side I like her hair though. But I don't know what those performances was. I'm glad I didn't jumped on her hype.

That was some bullshit.

She's definitely easy on the eyes but musically, her performances were just..meh. Though I think her "Blue Jeans" song was better than "Video Games". That first song made me go .

Wasn’t it? That hype is not living up at all. She’s performing on Letterman too but eh I think that was it for me. I’ll stick with Adele and Gaga (since she’s been compared to them) wow.

My hard on got in the way of the critical faculty.

lol it's like people will (try to) fall for ANYTHING lol she's not that good for the hype. She's pretty though but that's it.

Is that her real name? She kinda looks trannyish and why all the fuss?

People saying she’s hyped up because she’s pretty and white. I have to agree with that…

She is over hyped already before she even released an album...

I kinda like her voice, but she wayyyy overhyped.

Actually, her real name is Elizabeth Grant, and she's the daughter of an internet domain name millionaire, so her handlers wanted to give her a stage name to cover up that fact. She put out a couple of songs on YouTube that got zillions of hits, so she's sort of being treated like the next Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black.

Yep.

I had the horror of watching SNL last night. All I will say at the end of her secone performance she acted like it was beneath her to have the audience applaud. I've never heard of her before yesterday and I hope to never hear from her again.

Oh and stop stroking your god damn hair.

Any Nashville (the movie) fans here? That was some serious Sueleen Gay action

In other words, the girl's a bore.

From what I read last night over on jezebel shes a lil Veruca Salt that has told her wealthy father that "She wants a music career, now!"

I hate those types... think they want it all and get mad when they can't get it all. I'd be laughing if her album fails to be a sensation.

She really is boring.

Video Games is a gorgeous song, she has a distinct voice and is pretty. But she has no stage presence whatsoever. But I think her music is way refreshing. That's why people dig her and too a much larger extent Adele. Taking music up a couple of notches from the cheap pulp we are inundated with today.

AND much props to both her and Adele for not doing those grotesque over-the-top vocal runs that Mariah, Aguilara and that whole bunch wore out on every track. That alone makes me love them all the more.

LOL.

I'm dying for her album. Spellbinding voice!!! I love altos.

She was an utter mess live, but I'm still getting her album. Video Games is quite a rare beauty of a track and I love Blue Jeans and Born to Die.

However after this, I don't think I'd want to see her live free.

I wonder if she paid for some of the initial Youtube view counts (some online companies actually sell them), therefore creating her her own viral buzz.

As for the performance, to paraphrase one of my friends' facebook posts: "This chick on SNL is really creeping me the f**k out!"

I only heard her sing and she creeped me out. Guess she's one of the ones who DON'T understand vocal tones.

Ain't that the truth.

I think she was just nervous on SNL. Whatever, I think she's fabulous.

Here's another live performance

I wanted to stick forks in my ears.

Actually, she put out a three-track EP in 2008 titled Kill Kill under the name Lizzy Grant and in 2010 she released a self-titled LP on iTunes. Only now is she attempting a label debut with Born To Die ( Interscope/Stranger). So...it's obvious that she WANTS a music career. She's young - she may get better - and yes - with all that hype - I'd be freakin nervous too. I too cringed when I watched her, but good for her for trying.

728huey is right. Lana's father did hire industry insiders to help reinvent his daughter's image and push her into the limelight. They chose Lana Del Rey and picked her sound.

Oh and these performances are horrible. She's overhyped.
