Lana Del Rey's Letterman performance was boring and forgettable, so any1 who wasted their time formulating an opinion on it is probably some obsessed loser. At the end of the day, Lana is CATAPULTING in2 mainstream fame, and most indie blogs will be forced to stop posting her bc she is so mnstrm and tweens + Middle Americans <3 her. These are her fans loving her outside of David Letterman's Ed Sullivan Theatre.
Lana has fans. They love her. She loves them. Fan: We love u Lana! It's U, It's U, it's all 4 u. LDR: Nooo. I love U! It's U, It's U, it's all 4 u. Fan: We promise! It's U, It's U, it's all 4 u.

LDR: No. I tell YOU all the time! It's U, It's U, it's all 4 u.
Maybe it's all 4 every1...
Here is her Letterman performance. It is boring, but at the end, David Letterman gets a 'hard on' as if he is trying to seduce a 19 year old intern.
Who is it all 4?
Is it u, u, or all 4 u?
Is this what u wanted?
Did u find urself in the flashbulbs? #BecomingLana
These days, many pop songs feature rap cameos from 'brown people.' It is a common strategy to try to piggyback into the headphones of tweens and Middle Americans who otherwise wouldn't have known you. Anyways, M.I.A. always tries to act like she is some authentic, anti-American activist, but now she's playing the sambo in this new Madonna video. She dresses up like a cheerleader, and like a Marilyn Monroe/Madonna figure.
So uncomfortable to see a formerly 'independent spirit' accepte a role 'inside the box.' Instead of wearing 'blackface', it seems like M.I.A. is caught in some spiral, attempting to be in white-face.
Her marginalized contribution to this song is a joke, and it is one of the darkest moments in the history of 'former indie artists blatantly trying to go mainstream.' Maybe she won't ruin the Super Bowl because she'll be forced to wear some dumb costume that Madonna picked out and her rap verse is just going to be pre-recorded anyways.
Do u think this means that she 'secretly wants to be a white American'?
It's a sad day for M.I.A.'s career. As annoying as her gimmickry is, it seems like she has 'finally given up', and she is finally trying to get mainstream famous so that she can make a little bit of her own cash, instead of having to live off her billionaire BFs $$.
Is M.I.A. 'toast'?
Is she 'a huge joke'?
Does she look 'mad dumb' in this video?
Does she think that ppl will get into her because of this vid?
Should she get butt implants like Nikki Minaj so that she will resonate with the ethnic community by being 'a curvy ass bitch'?
Will M.I.A. 'ruin the Super Bowl' [link]?
Or does this video prove that she is 'completely washed up' and trying desperately 2 go mnstrm?
Every1 is waiting for the OFFICIAL Lana Del Rey album sales returns. We've seen her label go on a MAJOR ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN, which has probably paid off bc she is selling mad copies on iTunes [link]. When we find out how much she sold, we will finally know if she was 'just a human meme', 'just another crappy indie artist', or a LEGITIMATE FORCE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY THAT WILL BE AROUND FOREVER AS A MUSICIAN AND A SEX ICON. Based on early returns, it is clear that Lana Del Rey will be a mainstay in music for the next several decades.
Apparently she is projected to sell around 60,000 albums. This can be called a MASSIVE SUCCESS 4 an artist who came out of nowhere and truly 'changed the way the internet music game was played.'
According to Hits Daily Double, opening day sales figures suggest her major label debut “Born to Die” is on track for between 55-60,000. The album won’t top Adele’s still-absurdly-strong “21″ on the charts, but it should definitely land respectably on the Billboard 200.
IS this a 'flop' because she didn't land at #1?
Or is this a HUGE SUCCESS bc of her indie roots?
Should other indie bands be PISSED at indie music websites for not turning them into memes that actually compelled mainstream interest in them?
Is the indie blogosphere set up to 'cyberbully' these days, not 'cyber-posi-hype'?
Although bands and brands pay million dollars for PR + image brand management, it seems clear that the best way to promote urself is by EFFING TANKING on a nationally televised/overvalued performance so that every1 knows who u r. Then lamestreamers will know abt u. Those are basically the ppl u have to 'win over' in order to sell, not 'a-holes on the internet' who are so obsessed with the sound of their own voice that it it unlikely that they will ever enjoy anything.
You have to appload LDR's business acumen. Today, she is on top of the world, meeting with a realtor to purchase a riviera.
Does LDR have it all?
Will these numbers prove 2 be false?
Was LDR #Born2Sell?
R u jealous of LDR?
Is this the greatest thing that the indie blogosphere will ever produce?
Did the blogosphere help her by 'bullying her'?
Should artists look to be hated by every1?
Did she finally find her home in the pop-o-sphere?
Does Lana Del Rey need to 'gain a lot of weight' so that she can ride chubwaves 2 album sales with Adele?
