Her Facebook likes just keep climbing.

I really don't think SNL is going to be the "killer move" the people who hate her think it is. If she can do well on Letterman and Ellen, i'm sure that will only mpush her already impressive pre-order numbers.

Daniel Radcliffe swoops in to Lana Del Rey's 'SNL' defense

by Ray Rahman

Call it Harry Potter and the Cold-Blooded Critics.

After hosting last weekend’s Saturday Night Live, Daniel Radcliffe is publicly coming to the defense of the episode’s musical guest Lana Del Rey, whose performance has inspired the first Great Music Debate of 2012.

“It was unfortunate that people seemed to turn on her so quickly,†Radcliffe said to the British press of Del Rey, who sang “Video Games†and “Blue Jeans†on that fateful night.

“I also think people are making it about things other than the performance,†the actor continued. “If you read what people are saying about her online, it’s all about her past and her family and stuff that’s nobody else’s business.â€

Added Radcliffe, “I don’t think it warranted anywhere near that reaction.â€

And some of the initial reactors are starting to agree. One noted Del Rey critic, Juliette Lewis, later came to the conclusion that, you know what, she doesn’t dislike Lana as much as she thought she did, tweeting:

I woke up singing a @LanaDelRey song! Such great haunting melodies! Regardless of my own taste LIVE she’s a #FreshandYummy songwriter.Period

If this sort of turnaround becomes more common among the singer’s early detractors, things might bode well for Lana’s debut album Born to Die, slated to be released January 31.

Readers, what layer of meta-backlash are you currently at? Let us know in the comments below.

I know! :cry:

Why are they so harsh? She was obviously extremely nervous. :cry:

Atleast they understand that it was a huge show and she's barely starting out, also posting a great performance she did.

But there is still room to recover. Think back on one of the undoubtedly worst "SNL" performances (if you can even call it that) with Ashlee Simpson. Ashlee didn't even make it through the first few notes of her second song, as the sound engineers played the wrong lip-synch track, revealing that she had not been singing live. To make things worse, the failed performance ended with Ashlee wandering offstage after some hoedown awkward jigs, as if she were playing it off like a vaudevillian comedy--and comedy it was, at her expense. Simpson was torn apart by critics and fans were let down, but she still built a respectably successful career as a pop star and remains a red-carpet regular. Del Rey at least sang live, and she did not jig.

Worst "SNL" performance ever? No. Clumsy? Yes. Lana Del Rey definitely wasn't in the best shape to perform, and her "SNL" appearance may indeed go down in the history books as one of the series' musical low points. But this was more a case of being overwhelmed than lack of talent. With critics looking for any excuse to dismiss Lana, should she be encouraged to continue? This writer believes the ball is rolling too fast for her to stop now.

Atleat she wasn't Ashlee Simpson! And I agree, she's not gonna be stopped at all.

*It would have been amazing if she would have pulled a Sinead O'Connor.

*But she's still amazing.
