GlitterGrease 53 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I feel like people try to group Marina with other pop stars, but shes not really one of them lol. When she came out with Electra Heart I was surprised Primadonna was even sent to radio. She's not a mainstream radio artist. So shes not really underrated.....shes really well known considering what she is. The only way I consider her underrated is when people pin her against Lana Del Rey as if they have anything in common. Lana is so artificial/contrived. Marina's talent and her aesthetic comes way more organically to her. I know I blabber on too much about how I don't like Electra Heart but whatever, I think the way she utilized her talent with her first album is much more organic than how she's using it now. The character and videos and blog seem like they're trying to get some kind of a message across but it just falls flat. idk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantomhive 1,951 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 ME TOO. I love it, but whenever I listen to it, it just feels as if it's supposed to be an acoustic ballad instead of a pop song. I think it's great both ways but I agree. Then again, all the other songs that should've been acoustic ballads were made into pop songs namely Lies & Starring Role. :( In I fly on wings of winter.

Foster 23 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I have to be in the right mood to listen to Lies Acoustic, but I've had the album version in my playlist constantly since April. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The character and videos and blog seem like they're trying to get some kind of a message across but it just falls flat. idk She did put a lot of literal emphasis on the whole "this is me being a pop star" thing. But the way she approaches her career to me is organic. Like shes just going where her creativity leads her even if the message may be lost on some. she just doesnt seem like shes full of **** to me i guess. Electra heart isnt better than the family jewels in my opinion but like....idk....i blabber on too much about how overrated born to die is but when you compare her to marina theres just such a difference. You can see how genuine marina is. Lanas just.....a vacuous entity that gets treated like theres soul to her work. I dont hear it and i dont see it. But obviously thats just me lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But obviously thats just me lol I love Marina and Lana. They are definitely both their own artists with their own styles, but I don't get how you can say that Lana seems vacuous. Whenever she sings live, it sounds like she's dying. There are a lot of things you could say about Lana's singing, but the last of them I would expect is that it sounds empty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBdHKWM-u9U This performance doesn't sound empty to me. Maybe you don't like her singing, but I don't see how you can accuse of her lacking emotion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batwings 12,847 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I dislike the song Lies. Probably the only one I don't care for For a while, Lies was the only song on Electra Heart I couldn't get into. I love the lyrics (they seriously read like my love life), but something about the composition and arrangement seemed... off. I can't explain it. Then I heard the acoustic version and finally fell in love with it. That version just sounds more "right" to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zack 15 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Lies and Starring Role are both flawless. The acoustic versions are really beautiful, but the studio version are perfect the way they are, I wouldn't change a thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
