Can we talk about Lana Del Rey for a hot-minute? I feel so conflicted about this girl. Back in November Lana Del Rey popped up on my radar when I downloaded her song Video Games on iTunes, because I previewed the song and dug it. From then until now the appearance of her face on some of my regular websites has been increasing. With all the attention I decided to listen to her new song Born To Die, which I also really liked.

Last night I woke up to the sound of my dog making puke sounds right next to me. It’s 3:00am and I’m cleaning up canine vomit off my bed. When I finished I was wide awake, so I picked up my iPad and surfed around the web. Apparently Miss. Del Rey bombed on SNL. That of course spurred me to watch SNL on my DVR, and I witnessed a sloppy slurred tranny-voiced mess singing the songs I had listened to 7 hours earlier while I did laundry. They sounded nothing alike. I was so befuddled that I fell back to sleep.

When I woke up this morning I noted several websites discussing, the failure of last night’s musical performance on SNL. It was Ke$ha’s April 2010 performance all over again: bitch can’t sing!

Later on more websites were claiming that Lana Del Rey is a musical fabrication of Interscope Records. It seems that Lana is more anecdotal evidence that a dye job, collagen, expensive record producers, and a new wardrobe can make anyone a “credible” musical artist.

What am I to do? I still like those songs, and I’ll probably really like her album . Even so, should I support someone who is a total fake? I have in the past! Might as well right. Regardless she seems like a flighty sketch-ball so we’ll see if Lana Del Rey is just a flash in the pan.
