Lana Del Rey to ditch BRIT Awards because of Taylor Swift

I'm still cackling omg. I don't care about either but that was brilliant.

reported your immature ass

 

I reported him/her for flamebait on that post where he/she called Taylor a space model and Lana a peasant. :madge:

If only Lana sold out, trademarked relatively common phrases and had a brainwashed fanbase that justifies her generic music and selfishness for money by deflecting accusations with petty gloating and delusional inflation of her talent to falsely but idealistically match her artistic and general ability with her carefully manufactured success :air:

I've never seen a bigger example of saying so much but meaning so little. Long strings of big words don't automatically mean substance. They should have taught you that in writing 101. The fact remains that in every aspect of a career, and I mean every aspect, Taylor pulls out on top. More awards, more acclaim, bigger tours, larger fan base, more artistic merit, higher philanthropy. Every achievement Taylor has over Lana there are actual concrete numbers, awards, and words from people who invest in music for a living that back it up. Lana has Internet fans who find vintage tumblr filters edgy.

MISLEADING TITLE

[Redstreak 6,653]

can you please stop proving her point

what? That success is vapid only when the opposition can't use it themselves? What point would you like then? Taylor created an entire album by herself, musically and lyrically. How about Lana? Taylor is constantly recognized for her writing. How about Lana?

And please LET'S talk about selling out when someone's only notable achievement was a remix

I think she got the last part right "carefully manufactured success." She has worked hard to build a considerable fan base and caters to them. Blank Space and Style are two great pop songs that made me think twice about the opinions I had about her. She continues to change people mind about her music. While I wasn't a fan of her earlier work, I am a fan of what she is doing now. I am also a huge fan of Lana, I hope they work together someday.

What an unfounded response with a nice (and false, for that matter) generalization to top it off. Don't come for my writing ability and comprehension when you came two spots behind me in Platinum Hit, I figured the experience might have taught you a thing or two about quality and taste. Of course Taylor gets more awards; she is simply more popular and makes music that is easily digestible. We all know that "Off To The Races" wasn't going to be a #1 hit but it's far better than most of Swift's discography, sonically, lyrically and artistically. Ultraviolence was critically acclaimed and Born To Die has sold millions upon millions of copies. What does the size of Taylor's tours and fanbase matter? She's successful because her music is catchy and simple and that's because she herself is simple. Her songwriting isn't even that good, even on her earlier releases. Lana still has not sold out to make music that could get her chart success, and her tours are selectively smaller to be more intimate.

More awards? Popularity trumps a lot of the time, and Anaconda was nominated for a Grammy. What does this say about the taste of the academy? Taylor certainly does not have more artistic merit than Lana, and as for philanthropy Taylor is definitely great at that. I know many Lana fans in my school, so it clearly isn't restricted to the Internet. People love her. She has a unique sound. It's not all about her vintage video inspiration. In fact, many of her fans prefer her higher budget videos. Plus, Lana writes all her own music, like Taylor.

As a side note, I don't mean to say you aren't a good writer. You're quite impressive at it and I very much enjoyed working with you.

a remix that was forced upon her by her record label. Lana doesnt give 2 ****s about success, obviously something Taylor is obsessed with. She makes music she likes and releases it, if people **** on it.. who gives a **** she has an insanely loyal fanbase even if its not as ENORMOUS as Taylor's. and she didnt musically create her album, max martin shat it out just as he does with dozens and dozens of other musicians over the past 10 years.

I loved Born To Die, but with Ultraviolence she began taking herself too seriously and released one of the worst albums in history.

I have been trying to figure that out for a while... Anaconda=Grammy nomination is just weird. I like Nicky, but thats my least favorite track on that album.
