She's so old hollywood. The way she stands on stage and talks to Dave after the performance felt straight off a sixties variety show.
Yes, she really studied that whole era. She does it very well and the the styling goes excellent with it
Sam ONeill David clearly loved that about her, too.
+Sam ONeill its why we love her! ❤️
Good music has no time limit, just because she not cussing or sounding like everyone else, does not make her old fashioned..It not your taste fine.
Patsy Aspinall- urrows Her entire aesthetic is vintage, that’s why people love her.
She's not a performer like Beyoncé or Ariana. She's just a singer and that's all she needs to be because the music speaks for itself.
She has to be the best singer out there she gets nervous but it adds to the charm. She's wonderful singer, for me the best at the moment.
My Favorite Shirt wtf shes wayyyy better than those two chicks
@@Ilaria753 no need to compare, they're all amazing in their own way.
@rene ruiz you're delusional...
And her songs full of reality, sadness, love. That's why she doesnt need sexy dances
Honestly why are people saying this performance is bad? She sounded lovely here and sounded very close to how it is on the album.
Indeed! Letterman also seemed extremely in love with her performance also
It was tender and vulnerable; how does it get better than that? Also, the song, written by Del Rey & Justin Parker, is a gem.
it was another performance
People were talking about the SNL performance. NOT THIS ONE. This is the performance she did to show her critics they were wrong. This was right after the bad SNL performance
It was awesome, she was like pouring honey out of this song. I could imagine what her vajajay looked like while she was singing this.
That's how angels sing.
Andreas Ioannou yasssss
Lana : dont call me angel
🎶Don't call me angel...🎶 Sorry. Had to. 😬
999
This !!!!
I've never understood all the hate directed at this woman.
1rewd1 I hate it soo much how people could hate her
Hmmm. It might be that she's not a super powerhouse singer like some who achieve her level of fame. I think what makes her special goes beyond just the notion of having a powerful voice. It's something about "presence". And vulnerability too. It might be the sort of thing that just separates people -- I guess you're gonna love her or hate her. How weird. But it seems to be true.
me too
Liked her until she 'practised Witchcraft to stop Trump' - then realized she was a dumb, out of touch celeb like the rest
@@simplelife88393 hating trump is very understandable and quite frankly an intelligent thing to do
Wow, Lana nailed it... But let's also give credit to the violinists.
Jason Carlos Pianist too.
And the cellist!😂
I'm sure they all practiced 40 hours a day
I pisses me off how people just don't understand her style. That's just the way she sings, it's not nerves, it's just simply a way to sing, and obviously it pleases millions of people. So i recommend your sorry poor asses to not think she is messing up, because she is not stupid and she KNOWS what she's doing.
I don't understand your point. Are you protecting or judging her??
22shakingcrazy I love Lana but you can have a different singing style and still be a phenomenal singer
Brooklyn Baby she knows it's not necessary to sing classically.
I love Lana because she sings in her own unique way, and I truly respect and admire that💗
22shakingcrazy yeah people are so shallow
Edit: lol
^^^
you mean bouncing from key to key is an artistic choice? She was changing the key to almost every verse of the song which caused the song to sound messy, and unpleasing. I respect her style, but everything that’s repetitive kinda annoys the majority. Regardless, Lana’s a good songwriter and I stan her writing.
She's just born in the wrong generation, but I'm so glad we got a chance to witness her style, voice, songs and beautiful soul.
Or she's just too pretentious for her own good. Still talented tho
+Kelly she's not pretentious 😂😂
gina x
she really is though
How
gina x
"I wish I was already dead"
I like that she doesn't sing a song the same each time. She changes it up live. It makes me love her even more.
Her voice hypnotizes me, it's beautiful, I'm so in love.
Glad to see Minswag appreciating this talant!!
This was days after her SNL performance :-)
Sweet redemption :)
+Luis Fierros a good way to shut them mouth
If you've ever been to a lana del rey concert you'll notice she sings her first few songs nervously and eventually warms up to the crowd and sings beautifully. Just like normal people lana gets nervous too.
Literally heard that this weekend watching the Coachella stream. Started off really rough but the end it was great!
omg this was too beautiful like I didn't know I had a soul to touch but she found it
+Leonel Guerra Oh man, that was beautiful. You're probably a writer aren't you?
Notawesomeatall7 hes probably high
I like your hair 💀
4:02 dont ever tell me she cant sing
Absolutely! She's my queen! Forever and Ever!!!
***** a half second note which she ends on a completly different flat note??Damn you dont know anything about singing, just trying to defend her image. Nice.
+Andy Lara what would you know?
that doesn't prove anything! but yh, she's an amazing singer! It's funny how the haters say she's shit but they keep watching videos like these haahhaah
+Andy Lara Lol wtf can we all see your potato ass hit that "yoooUUUUU" HAHA. So what if it's a flat note. You can't even hit that high lmao.
I think people these days are used to perfect voices (auto tuned) that real voices sound off to them, get over it. Her music is not centralized on her Vocal capabilities, It's more
Preach
+EDeeire you hit the nail right on the head, couldnt agree more.
thank you!!!
You are right, it's like make up
My thoughts exactly. Her voice gets pitchy sometimes but she sings with so much emotion. Not everyone will get it.
she is naturally photoshopped lol perfect
It's called plastic surgery, look it up.
Daniel W. She actually hasn't had any plastic surgery so uh, you look it up. She's always had lips, and she was just young, things fill in and others change, it happens.
Haden Dover
Bullshit.
You can look at any pictures of her from along time ago and there are no differences. Like I said she probably filled out some places and also she is not doing drugs so is allowed to get to a healthy weight.
Daniel W. Yeah, thats a lot of weave, fillers and a shit ton of makeup. Which is weird because she is pretty young isn't she?
did anyone notice she changed the lyrics at the end of the song? I mean she skipped one line "They say the world was built for two" and the pianist caught up so quickly to change the tune! Wow that guy was cool! Lovely performance as ever my queen. I really liked this one in particular!
Sofia Olivas i think they rehearsed it. even the violins knew
It was on purpose - everyone was aware of it; this was a live performance on national TV, that's why they shorted the song.
Wow, how did you even notice it?
@@Shashank-21 maybe thanks to hearing the song probably 10 million times lol
The piano player picked up that she missed a part and just cut to the ending- what a professional lol I would've cracked under the pressure
K Blanco I wonder if it was meant to be cut short
This was all rehearsed heavily as it's a live TV performance. What I mean to say is, he didn't pick up on anything as there was nothing to pick up; these late-night types of performances tend to be shortened versions of the artist's original song.
And as someone else noted in comment here, the string quartet isn't going to just cut to an ending like perhaps a solo piano accompaniment could do... this. was. the. arrangement.
@@heresjohnny5307 Its a 4:41 song. They just had to edit it for tv. Shorten it so they can throw an extra commercial in there. $$$. Great performance all the same.
God what a beautiful song. Didn't think people wrote em like this anymore
Iggy Iggs
does that even matter?
I hate that Americans tore apart her SNL performance and her live shows in general.. everyone is so used to loud gospel voices and loud warbling vocals in general they don't get the softer the thing... if there's not crazy choreography and lots going on they're bored and not impressed. If you see Lana concerts, the audience ALL sings it back to her. Her songs are slower and are meant to be sung and listened closer to for their lyrics more like 70s folk music.
anonymousandcool she copied Mazzy Star (Hope Sandoval)
Julie Hane sorry but lana did it better than that flop bimbo
I love lana del rey and I think she is a good live singer but... blue jeans on SNL was very bad. Video games wasnt as bad as people said though
Yeah no. That snl performance was just bad
I had no idea. I had heard of her name but just wrote her off as another generic singer. This was truly beautiful. The best words I can think of to describe this performance are - Hauntingly beautiful.
Just like karaoke...
+Ross.White98 karaoke?
+Hannah Jones How I Met Your Mother reference
+Ross.White98 oh right 😂
She’s not a singer. She’s a poet and once people get that, they’ll appreciate her singing a lot more.
Of course she is a singer. A highly skilled one. Wake up...
@@theboofinnot really
I really really do love her songs but she’s just an average singer blessed with a beautiful voice and that’s fine
Her style doesn’t need much, she’s perfect for that, it fits her perfectly
@@danielsgrunge Jesus, how to miss... It's not about her voice, it's about her note choice...
@@theboofin then you mean she’s a good songwriter, different thing 🤷🏻♂️
@@danielsgrunge No. she's always choosing interesting notes and phrasing - never quite sings a song the same way. Good singer. Same thing you would say about a good guitarist...
I want her voice to wake me up in the morning
Buy a ringtone :/
Liz Guerra lmao ;b
same
Cristian Puac same and I want it to put me to sleep at night
Same. I wish I could just give her my number, and ask her to call me every morning--so that I could answer and hear her singing to me. I want the real thing lol. And I'm a girl 😅
My ears hit full eargasm at 4:03
yes , but it's so sad to see other musicians who just yell and scream into the mic getting much recognition than her.
you just wanna cry when you listen to her sing, an angel. Lana your mezmirizing
+Rishova R *mesmerizing
Yeah typo I know, that tends to happen but focus on the angel lana please.
Rishova R You're right. *Continues preaching*
i actually thought this was a really good performance...besides she says that shes a poet, not a singer. she originally only wanted to write songs anyways, not perform them.
I'm so glad she sings them though, her sound is beautiful.
It sounds just like her....I don't get people
I think people are so use to artist singing everything exactly to the album, the difference here is that Lana actually feels the music during a performance and sings with it. That's why she changes it up a little and it's amazing, but some people can't accept change cause some just like everything being the same.
It’s the SNL performance of Blue Jeans that people were criticizing her on
This song was 20 years ahead of its time. Incredible.
Her voice goes through my soul, it really catches me.
same 😭
I love her fractured sound. And she looks so pretty here. Surround yourself with good people, Lana. A great asymmetrical talent.
She’s one of the greatest artists of the last decade
When I hear Her voice it takes me to a happy peaceful place
Marina!
Endless classic. Hits just like 11 years ago
i’ve never really understood all the hate she gets in shows and the media, she is such a talented singer who actually sounds like her recording in live
She is raw. Today's singers are too fake and need to much help
Kashi Sinha yes they do, literally all of the mainstream pop singers
@@lilyswal3682 how
No One Cares About It a lot of them don’t write the lyrics on their own, use tons of autotune and “sing” over a crappy manufactured backtrack
@@lilyswal3682 ok
@@lilyswal3682 but it’s not to say they’re great performers and produce good music
I cant believe people were so harsh about this performance... its not so different from the recorded song how could it really be that bad to people?
buttershady24 they were harsh about her SNL performance. Not this one.
Dave is so awesome when he likes a performer! So genuine.
Totally agree. His reaction after The Heavy performed was great as well.
I would loved to see lana interviewed by him
I love that she "got right back on the horse" after her rough SNL performance just a week or so before this and knocked it out of the park here. And I love that Letterman gave her the venue to redeem herself. Just a great moment all-around
He was so kind with her after the performance, asking to the pianist what he thinks, just to get her another complement, asking her to go back the next day...and yet she was so frightened. It was an amazing performance.
1:47 -- 2:07. wow. screw everyone who says she can't sing.
LANA has a extensive vocal range. She can hit just about any note. She is a genius.
***** get a life.
She was whispering to avoid over projecting because when she tried that on snl she bombed. When compared to other singers like marina diamonds, lady gaga, Ariana Grande, and Atlantis Morsette she is so boring and weak live its almost laughable. In terms of pure vocal talent she is not even as good as selena Gomez but around even with Britany spears.
Vincent Escolano Lana is incredible. She is better than ANY of today's singers and artists. She is divine!
Vincent Escolano Did you just compare Lana to Selena and Britney ?! LOL You are a fucking joke hahahaha. She is a world above them, vocally and artisticly. As much as I love Marina too, she is not a better singer at all. Others that you mentioned maybe have a wider range but that doesn't mean they are better singers.
I think good ol Dave was a little smitten with her.
+jaxbus3000 Oh please, David loves the ladies!
jaxbus3000 - like, what red blooded man wouldn't be? She's stunning.
Can't Balme him she's like a ray of sunshine
you can tell when she finished she was so nervous...makes me love her even more to see such a shy, introverted personality
Her voice is so ethereal. She feels the darkness.
People say this is bad?! Honey please! It's called emotion. She's obviously caught up in what she wrote the song about and the emotions are all showing making her performance even more beautiful. We'll always love you Lana!
2:02 fuckin chills at "baby now you do" what a performance, so raw. What an enigmatic person
U can tell it took pops back to the old days
yes mom work
She looks so relieved at the end. Congratulations Lana, you've come so far sweetie.
I'm so frickin' sad for her for being born in the wrong generation.. all of her suffering and depression.. i can always see it in her eyes and hear it on her voice and feel it from her songs.. So sad for her. and love her so much
She wouldve suffered more growing up in an even more sexist anti-woman era like the '50s.
Let’s not forget she wrote this... and this is without a shadow of a doubt a timeless classic song. And how many artist write one of those?
I just love her voice so much. It's so unique and beautiful.
This is absolutely the best live, televised performance of this track. Doesn't hurt that the sound engineers at The Letterman Show are world-class guys.
She already did better on TV actually. And way better not on TV
already from the beginning much better than SNL she wasn't forcing her voice to go way lower than she's comfortable with....redemption! I can't forget that SNL performance lol....
I tried to find that video after it aired on TV and they deleted it and made fun of her the next week
I don't what everyone is talking about, she sounded lovely. There were one or two slightly off-key notes, but as a whole it was great.
I don't care what you all say, she is out of this world and her music is heavenly apparently not meant to to be understood and appreciated by everyone
its a disapointment she got a bad rep in the united states, i personally love her and she is so good live, one of the few singers that can actually sing without auto tune
So beautiful.. So mesmerizing.. So hypnotizing..
I've watched this performance long ago, only posted by another user and was a different video, so I'm just going to say this again. I admire her so much. She is so beautiful to me, I love how emotional and passionate she is when it comes yo her music and performances. It really touches me heart deeply. Her music really is something that inspires me, to know there is so much beauty in this world. I'm so glad to have discovered her. It's always been a part of me ever since. So thank you so much Ms Lana Del Rey. I may not know you in person, but you mean a lot to me, and that's when you know you truly love someone; when you won't get any recognition but yet to love someone unconditionally. And maybe that's what Video Games is somewhat about. Love is such an amazing thing
My, not me. My apologies
+Animal finatic
To, not yo. My pleasure
Animal finatic Thank you!
@@publicimagelive6420 Uggg, so smug of you to point out a little typo. Get life.
She sings with her soul..... An angel send to save us.....
Lana is a gentle singer she and needs a good mic and a good band who doesn't drown her out . A perfect example is Melody Gardot. She is literally the best vocalist of our time( besides Kovacs) and she suffers from light and sound Sensitivity so she sings quietly and has a powerful mic and respectful band . Well done Lana!
Honestly she will never ever sound like anyone else her voice is classic and beautiful just seen her live in jersey front row her voice was perfect we all have are bad days she engages with her fans she's a perfect talent I honestly don't understand the hate . Spread some love people
Swinging in the backyard
Pull up in your fast car
Whistling my name
Open up a beer
And you say, "Get over here
And play a video game"
I'm in his favourite sundress
Watchin' me get undressed
Take that body downtown
I say, "You the bestest"
Lean in for a big kiss
Put his favourite perfume on
Go play your video game
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
And, baby, now you do
Singin' in the old bars
Swingin' with the old stars
Livin' for the fame
Kissin' in the blue dark
Playin' pool and wild darts
Video games
He holds me in his big arms
Drunk and I am seeing stars
This is all I think of
Watchin' all our friends fall
In and out of Old Paul's
This is my idea of fun
Playin' video games
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
And, baby, now you do
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
And, baby, now you do
Hmm, hmm, hmm
(Now you do)
(Now you do)
Now you do
(Now, now you do)
(Now you do)
(Now you do)
mom giving me 1950’s housewife just mopped the floor with my wig
she gets so much hate but I just know she will be revered in a few decades and viewed as an icon. Up there with the greats of the past.
100% agree. She is such a gem in this generation
She is so pure. How anyone could ever hate on her. She is an angel, she looks like an angel, sounds like an angel , IS and angel
Dat piano sound though! (composer, performer, audio mix guy at this)
Letterman looks like he fell in love with her, rightly so❤️
Honestly, this is the first time I can ever feel so real about a soul of a song. This is amazing and so beautiful.
One of my most favorite videos ever
her music is the type of music that hits you deep down in your soul. she has opened up my mind. nothing like most other artists can do.
Love how much Dave loved her “good gig huh?” To the instrumentalist and Paul saying “don’t get no better, that was gorgeous”
The innocence and freshness of the beginning of fame for a super great song!
I cherished and enjoyed every single note....u can tell how impressed mr Letterman was too
Doctor : you have 5:07 minutes to live
Me: play this video for me 🥺❤️😇
How's this a bad performance??!! She's amazing!!!!
damn no auto tune. she sooooo amazing. its like wowowow
So Katy and Miley can auto tune the shit out of their music but when lana sings live it's horrible? Fuck snl, her voice is beautiful and haunting and pure.
All three of them suck ass at singing lol
Julie Flores omg i cant lmao
AskingTheSkies shut the fuck up you can shut the fuck up bitch
gagasgrande *takes a bow*
i couldnt have worded it better than you did.
Amazing, you can tell how nervous she really was by her body language, still what a great talent and song right here. This performance was definitely iconic and authentic
I wish I could unsee this video, just so when I watch it again I can experience the experience of this amazing performance over and over again.
David Letterman's in love
This is my fav. performance by her...it's been so many years but I still come back to watch it.
- She is a pure soul in a cruel world, I Love her more than billions.
She is absolute perfection I don't care what anyone else says
"la-ay-na del Rey" I lost my shit each time he said her name
It’s not that he didn’t pronounce it wrong it’s just prob how he pronounces the word. Like potato and how people in the south pronounce potato, potahto
2018 and I am still in love with this performance ❤
This is definitely the most beautiful rendition of this bone chilling song.
People keep talking about how Lana is a marketed product and how she isn't a real singer. I just don't get why the music industry would put that much effort into marketing such a talentless girl when there are plenty of talented people out there who 'can sing live' and are dying to sell.
They do it because she is a very gifted musician, who continues to come up with beautiful compositions and is maturing at performing live, even though i think she was pretty good from the beginning.
I'm sorry but 'real' doesn't mean anything. On a certain level, we all handle our image, and the way we handle it expresses a lot about us. Lana handles her own in a way that expresses best her inner self.
Not everything is handled by 'the industry'. People are not so dumb, they relate to a song, to lyrics, to a person and that's how a singer is loved. Give the public some credit.
It's been amazing to watch lana evolve and progress over the years, but this performance still tops all the others I've seen in her career. The stripped down rawness of this is so beautiful, whenever i hear the strings come in i still get goosebumps. Would love to see some more of this in her performances. Love you Lana!
Brilliant rendition. So much love and respect for her style
Still listening in November 2016 !!
still listening in the last month of December babes
2018!
One of my favourite voices ever...and i usually love the big Divas. Such a unique, mesmerizing tone
shes the most beautiful woman ive ever seen. her voice is so beautiful im stunned
I love artists who sing out there souls it gives me the chills. Her voice is so angelic.
This is forever my favorite performance of this song
She’s a mesmerizing, dream girl type of woman, with a rare artistic talent as a singer songwriter.
Ah! Such a beautiful performance
This is one of the best live performances ever; great job Lana!
Love this.
The lady is perfection....end of...
The ending tho! Love seeing her confident and doing so well on stage. ❤️
What a perfect rendition of this song. She really nailed it.
