There's a big difference from this.


And it's not about style and tempo either, She just doesn't own the song like
say Sinéad O'Connor owned Nothing Compares 2 U.

If your a pro, make a special arrangement for your live performances.
Lana Del Rey is dropping an actual musical and stylistic gem of an album. I'm surprised people are still going on about the SNL performance, the band mix or TV mix was a mess also, and so she was nervous..it happens, she is new.. if people let her get over it, maybe her stage prescence will get better, but comparing an up rock party to that track is far from realistic. Maybe Thom Yorke? or similar, she still wouldn't look great but psssh lets be real.

Those special live performances have nothing to do with pro either, amatuers do it all the time also.
