I haven't really read anything at all about her until now, but could tell by listening to the album that she'd be controversial at the very least, what with the fake name and the Betty Boop voice and the Lolita references and all. Seems I've timed it pretty well - the top google results for 'lana del rey feminism' are the backlash against the hate...<br /><br />Cool. I like the album. It's beautiful, haunting, sexy, disturbing and depressing, sometimes all at once... And no less 'authentic' than most other stuff out there...Annebethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10513425212332523848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457429684812771723.post-20159004135628817072012-02-19T08:02:01.399+01:002012-02-19T08:02:01.399+01:00Oh man am I out of the loop I don't even know ...Oh man am I out of the loop I don't even know she is, but then again that always happens w/ me and no tv. but go you for bringing this up- totally not ok that women aren't credited for their accomplishments and put down for them when men aren't! <br />http://dusanabotswana.com/Annebethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10513425212332523848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457429684812771723.post-48366407074745569872012-02-14T11:27:29.605+01:002012-02-14T11:27:29.605+01:00Lana might not be my cup of tea (I prefer my music...Lana might not be my cup of tea (I prefer my music electronic and French), but this article is good.<br />I don't get what the negative hype is <i>really</i> all about.Annebethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10513425212332523848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457429684812771723.post-68942941984395111002012-02-14T09:46:34.526+01:002012-02-14T09:46:34.526+01:00I haven't listened to her at all, but the same...I haven't listened to her at all, but the same argument goes for a lot of female singers out there.

Het is denk ik ook een prijs die je betaald als je op dat niveau wil doorbreken en verkopen. Ik heb niks met Lana del Rey omdat ze zo gehypt is en overal wordt gedraaid en dan trekt het mij by default al niet meer. Heeft niet zoveel met haar zelf te maken. Toen ik het SNL filmpje bekeek vond ik het een failure puur omdat ze in mijn ogen weinig zangtalent heeft. Ik heb een opleiding zang gedaan, en de manier waarop Lana zingt is in mijn ogen erg lui en vergt weinig techniek. Ik snap vanuit een stijl-oogpunt wel wat er zo aantrekkelijk aan is. Artiesten als Amy Winehouse en anderen gingen haar al voor qua sixties vibe, maar ik vind het bij Lana del Rey wel iets mooier uitgewerkt en echter overkomt. Dus geen haat op Lana, just not into it myself!Annebethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10513425212332523848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457429684812771723.post-64882344834184840072012-02-13T13:54:06.013+01:002012-02-13T13:54:06.013+01:00I always love your rants :) rant on!I always love your rants :) rant on!Annebethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10513425212332523848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457429684812771723.post-83838848403969166862012-02-13T10:55:14.874+01:002012-02-13T10:55:14.874+01:00I have to be honest, I'd heard about Lana Del ...I have to be honest, I'd heard about Lana Del Rey for a while but not actually heard her music, and when I started reading about this "controversy" I decided to judge for myself. And I actually like her music a lot. Artists male and female have been reinventing themselves as different people since the beginning of time.

I mean I have read many articles that don't even criticise her voice but her 'premeditated' look, her full lips and snub nose probably due to some sort of cosmetic surgery or whatever, the fact remains that society only judge women based on their looks, like it is not legit to go and change your looks as you like it. Who did ever judge Enrique iglesias for removing his mole or a male singer for gaining some pounds, but beware if you are Christina Aguilera and gain some weight, why? because you are a woman. Simply as that. <br /><br />now I leave you with remarkable example that criticises her looks:<br /><br />"She appears to have undergone some sort of cosmetic surgery on her lips, since. Though to call it "cosmetic" is a bit like calling a hangover a "nice reminder". There's been a hair-colour change and style-makeover to line up with the Lana portion of her name. Yes, the influence for her name is Lana Turner and then the Ford motor vehicle (Del Rey). This name will catch on; more so than Lizzy Grant." <br /><br /> source: http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/blogs/blog-on-the-tracks/6171244/Lana-Del-Rey-2012s-zero-talent-starAnnebethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10513425212332523848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457429684812771723.post-48317451682520811372012-02-12T21:57:46.025+01:002012-02-12T21:57:46.025+01:00deze reply maakt me ontzettend blij, ik ben zo gel...deze reply maakt me ontzettend blij, ik ben zo gelukkig dat ik lezers heb zoals jij! <3 en DOEN! als ik er het geld voor had zou ik het ook doen!Annebethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10513425212332523848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457429684812771723.post-89906722545369613862012-02-12T21:39:14.657+01:002012-02-12T21:39:14.657+01:00Punt, amen en uit.

Op één of andere manier bereiken vrouwen hun succes niet onafhankelijk, maar worden ze steeds "geholpen" door één of andere man. Ofwel helpt de papa een beetje, ofwel heeft ze zich naar de top gesekst... Bij Lana del Rey zou haar vader zogezegd gezorgd hebben voor haar doorbraak. <br />Ik ben haar muziek deze ochtend gaan opzoeken omdat er zoveel commotie rond haar persoon was en ik vind haar album gewoon weg schitterend. Net zoals jij zegt vind ik het muziek waarin je jezelf kan herkennen, zo weird is ze dus ook weer niet. <br />En sorry, ik heb al vééél ergere optredens gezien (niet alleen van vrouwen, ook mannen kunnen wel is een flater begaan). Zo slecht zingt ze toch niet? Ik zou het in ieder geval niet aandurven om als jonge artiest ineens op Saterday Night Live het podium te betreden en zij doet het toch maar mooi. <br /><br />xo<br /><br />PS: ik vind je artikels die gerelateerd zijn aan feminisme echt super, ik ben er over aan het twijfelen om na mijn studies een jaar in het buitenland te gaan studeren, vb. in Zweden waar ze wel de richting feminisme aan de universiteit onderwijzen.Annebethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10513425212332523848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457429684812771723.post-51264274580976917222012-02-12T21:13:34.568+01:002012-02-12T21:13:34.568+01:00She has that amazing deep voice that I love.
