Lana Del Rey...Live Act

Lana Del Rey, performing LIVE, on Later...with Jools Holland.
Jools Holland, of Squeeze fame, of a whole jukebox of good music himself.



I’d say this LIVE performance from last October proves the gal can sing.

Currently, there’s a lot of ‘she can’t sing’ viciousness circling the blogosphere. And stuff about her touching her hair a lot. Because Miss Del Rey seemed a mite nervous this past weekend, before millions of watching Americans, on Saturday Night Live.

It’s like sharks circling something tasty and treading water, out there. All over the internet. It’s oddly funny.

Y’know, what they say probably is most true here. The only really bad publicity may be no publicity at all. A lot of people, who hadn’t heard of Lana Del Rey before last Saturday night, now have.

And y’gotta know it can’t hurt. Born to Die, Lana Del Rey’s debut album is about to pop, too. January 31.

Frankly, I didn’t mind Miss Del Rey touching her hair again and again on Saturday Night Live. There’s something appealing about a woman, singing in real time, brushing a lock of hair from her face. And seeming nervous. And thoroughly human.
