And I like Taylor Swift too, but this video is just NO XD Not only coping, but pointlessly so.

If it was merely copied by someone else that'd be one thing, but for the same director to rehash it one after the other?

At least he only made Taylor make out in a bar. Lana had sex in one instead.

I don't like the taylor swift one. And I don't like taylor swift anyway. Her voice in the beginning is not as enchanting as Lana's. There can be only one sad hollywood queen.
Haha..

D&B: the song that got me into Lana was obviously Born to Die, but I was sold completely when I heard Gods & Monsters and this is what makes us girls.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

Wait what, she has a song with taylor swift? Ew

No.

Ride and I Knew You Were Trouble. both have very similar music videos.

And I don't really care for either video (although I love Lana's monologue that starts off Ride) but I Knew You Were Trouble. is my jam.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

I haven't seen swift's video and not planning to anyway lol thanks for clarifying.

I love Ride so much, actually I haven't heard anything from her since, I haven't bought Paradise yet I will soon thou

[Refix]

I have a crush for Young and Beautiful, its really good, I mean you can almost feel the vintage in the late 60's atmosphere, enchanting. While Summer Wine is kinda okay, but I like the dark Lana's song more. Guess Lana makes me eager to listen to another old dramatic song from the year of 60's or 70's.

[jewelbox]

^I know the feeling! She reminds me of old hollywood in the 40s. Her voice is like from the past I love it.

I'm going to see Lana on the 12th in Birmingham! I'm really excited. Had my tickets for a while~

[marty]

This Friday is Lana Time!!! Can't wait for this concert, I'm so excited!!

[Refix]

Envy~
Talks about The Great Gatsby, wouldn't be great if the producer put Lana on the scene? Just like Gwen Stefani who took a role as a singer in one of Dicaprio's movie. She didnt have that long and important dialogues, she just being her self, a famous singer that had a relationship with Dicaprio. That might work well for Lana too. She fit with the movie theme as well.
Oh well, maybe she'll get the chance in the future.

If Lana has to do a cameo in some movie as herself, nothing would be better than The Great Gatsby. You're right, she'd fit the atmosphere like no one else and I would LOVE it! <3

Jealous - still waiting for my tickets to come! They don't normally take this long...although apparently I can just pick 'em from the box office but still...

mi|kshake~

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

OKAY so I managed to listen to Paradise and Young and Beautiful, plus many other demos and ****, SO DAMN GOOD.

I'm in love with Is it wrong? and Hit and run

[KremlinChaos]

^Hit and Run is such a great unreleased song. She should really make a compilation of all her old stuff and just release it. I'm sure she'll make good money off of it since she's so popular right now.

How long ago did you order your ticket? Mine came really quick. Are you going to the concert on the 12th?

[marty]

So, yesterday I saw Lana in Turin, and I just wanted to say she's the SWEETEST. PERSON. EVER.
I've never seen a Western singer so nice. She wasn't even so late, something like ten minutes more or less. And she continued saying how it was all more than she expected, and she just waited forever to come in Italy to sing Videogames, and when she sang American she changed the lines and instead of "like an american" she said "like an italian" over and over.
Oh, and at the end of the concert she spent something like half an hour in the front row, signing autographs, doing photos and HUGGING EVERYBODY. And kissing them on the cheeks. I wanted to die, I was so jealous to be in the seats instead of the standing spots towards the stage!XD
And all the talking of her being not a good singer is BS, she was PERFECT. When she sang Young & Beautiful I was speechless.
So, long story short, she's AMAZINGLY NICE, loveliest person ever and totally worthy of being seen live! <3

[mi|kshake]

^ Wow, that's so nice that she took pics with fans and signed stuff. I'm standing in the balcony so I won't be close enough if she does the same when I see her.

How long ago did you order your ticket? Mine came really quick. Are you going to the concert on the 12th?

I'm going to the Glasgow gig on the 15th. I'll be already to call that phone line asking where my tickets are on Friday lol - as they can't do anything unless your tickets haven't arrived 5 days before the concert. (I ordered from through the O2 Academy website who use TicketWeb)

EDIT: Oh no wait, apparently I'm not going on the 15th as the date has changed. Pity O2 Academy Glasgow/Ticket Web didn't bother to let me know and I had to find out from another forum! It's not like I have to reorganise my already booked travel and accommodation and pay an extra £40+ or anything....grrr no wonder they hadn't issued the tickets yet! I was looking forward to seeing Lana in a smaller venue too.

Just listened to Young and Beautiful. Was the song composed by Jesus? Because it's kind of flawless.

Loooool! Maybe!XD Can totally be!
