Lana Del Ray’s album hasn’t been released yet, but she’s been blowing up the music blogosphere with people heralding her as nothing short of the second coming. Now, I will admit, that I kind of liked her song Video Games, but there is a big difference between sort of liking something and what was happening online. People were going crazy about her. Things posted about her that were positive far outnumbered the negative. Most of the negative seemed to deal with the fact that she’s somewhat a manufactured artist and lots of talk about how her appearance has changed since she was known as Lizzie Grant, mostly that her lips are now extra, extra full.

Last Saturday, she was slated to be the musical guest on SNL, again, before her album has even come out. Has this much hype EVER happened for a new artist? Not that I recall. I did not watch the show live. I saw the video of her performance for Video Games and was shocked at how horrible it was. I have never, ever seen such a terrible performance on SNL and that includes the debacle with Ashlee Simpson screwing up her lip syncing. Besides the vocals just being horrible and sounding a bit like a drunk karaoke performance, her performance was just listless and passionless and simply awful. Too much too soon for sure.

Watch the video below if you can. I haven’t watched her second performance from the night because frankly, I’m afraid for the health of my ears. But I’m curious to see what you think so let me know in the comments or over on the Rubyfruit Radio Facebook page.
