Her performance was wack, and I don’t understand what all the hype is over her. She does have an nice singing voice, her and her music are just flat out boring.

I agree, she was horrible. I fast forwarded through both performances after listening for a few seconds.

The first song selection could’ve been better, I’ll say that.The second song wasn’t nearly as bad, though it was… interesting. She sounds like she was nervous and who could blame her? She was on freaking Saturday Night Live before her album even released. That’s a pretty HUGE honor, even while it’s absolutely terrifying. These actors need to remember this. They’re in front of the camera all the time, but Lana Del Rey is not.

If she were on American Idol, she wouldn’t be going to Hollywood.

Just terrible ~ seriously. Lousy stage presence ~ bad choice of costuming and the music….well…that’s really bad too. Wow ~ SNL ~ ick.

i think her problem was that she chose the wrong songs. Had she sang Off to the Races the audience would have liked it better

There was so much to dislike about the performance (and her). A sampling: her see-through dress; her talon-like nails; her wig-like, helmet hair; her flat voice; her oddly deep voice; her extraordinarily off-key notes (all notes sung in something other than her flat, deep voice); her dress’ inability to cover her bra; her nonstop touching of her thighs, breasts, and hair; the harp music; etc.

She’s boring & sounded bad. I don’t think that Eliza Dushku should have had to explain what she meant, people swear like actors can’t have an opinion. Lana Del Rey has no stage presence at all, it’s like she’s singing karaoke at a night club, but those ‘singers’ do better on stage.

I’m not very familiar with her or her music. I feel that perhaps she picked the wrong songs to perform. I’m used to a much livelier performance from the musical guests on SNL. I’m not saying I hate her music, but I was not entertained by her performance on the show. It’s possible that she just hasn’t figured how out to perform in front of people, yet.

I went from being confused as to why she was singing about video games in such a fancy dress to wondering if she is purposely using Belinda Carlisle’s lyric.

Either way, I didn’t like her. I did not feel she was that great a singer.

She’s the pet project of her label, Interscope. They’re doing everything they can to make her a star, but it’ll never happen. I wonder how much the label paid/gave/promised SNL to put her on. She certainly didn’t get the gig because of her talent or sales. She’s as manufactured as Milli Vanalli.

You can make any excuse for her that you want but ultimately she was horrible and seemed unprepared! I’m also wondering why some people are trying to compare her to Florence + the Machine? I’m guessing cause she used a harp in her music as well but she is nowhere near the same calibre as Florence!

It doesn’t matter which song she chose to sing, she always sounds like a robot. She didn’t seem nervous, she sounded just like she does on her cd. She’s just boring, one note.

LOL a skit would have made more sence

I know! I cannot believe SNL had her on. Was every other musician in the world on vacation? Her performance was bad enough to boycott SNL!

It was just an off night, she’s live here and it’s just fine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu9V3Phfsf8&feature=relmfu
