Artist recalled one of his few format performances, when he was widely criticized on the Internet for performance he left to be desired
Several fans have already noticed: Lana Del Rey Very rarely performs live on TV shows. Their disclosure strategies do not usually involve this type of participation.
There is a reason for this. In an interview from 2023 to The Hollywood Reporterthe American revealed the answer to this question, which leads us to 2012.
At the time, Lana made a performance in Saturday Night Livetraditional United States program, which earned him a series of criticism. In fact, its performance by interpreting “Video Games” and “Blue Jeans” It was not the best, but the criticism came in weight.
He even got to the point that she was accused of pretending to be a singer. The reason? It sounded quite different from the original recordings in the studio.
The trauma was such that Del Rey Not only did it definitely move away from TV shows, but it also failed to perform longer tours, with several shows, because all this caused him lack of confidence:
“I think I did two [apresentações na TV]? Perhaps this is something else I want to develop more, like tours. And don’t interpret me badly. I toured for nine years of my life. It was nonstop. It was difficult. But your heart knows when it’s the right time. And I never felt being at the right time [para a TV]. Maybe now, even if I wasn’t confident, I would do it anyway. But there was a reason not to feel confident. ”
Mikey O’Connella journalist who was driving the interview to the THR, asked why such a popular artist was not confident. She stated:
“I didn’t know if I would be well received. But there are so many weirds out there now, so we’re fine. We’re in good company.”
More space for stories
Lana Del Rey He also revealed to believe that the diversity of the public brings him the confidence necessary to continue with his career. She understands that, at the present time, she can “Say different things”without the need to fit into preconceived patterns by the music industry.
“I started at a time when things were practically unilateral. Gradually, there has been more room to tell stories and say different things. You’re seeing a lot more good composers too. Well, who am I to say that? I like a lot of today’s singers.”
Finally, the interviewer pointed out that Lana is cited as influence by young artists as Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo. In response, she said:
“Billie and Olivia They are such good people, it’s amazing. I love them and their music. It’s not like you have to be cool to be good [na música]But if you happen to be cool and a great singer, I’m happy for the culture. I always had girls telling me things like that. Maybe not critics or anyone else – but singers I knew no matter how big or small, I wrote letters to me. I always felt like the older sister of almost everyone I met. ”
