Vocal Coach Reacts to Lana Del Rey 'Arcadia' (Live Late Show With Stephen Colbert 2021)

[@Johnsmith47890]

The thing about Lana is that she’s a story teller. She’s not always going to give you high belts and fancy vocals but what she will do is make you feel what she’s feeling. She’s always said that she’s a writer first and a singer second. There’s just something really special about her, she’s very awkward, cute and humble which is so rare to see nowadays. She’s not trying to make hits or top charts, she just genuinely loves to write and sing

[@richmaxmchalliwchester1984]

yes this is what i love about Taylor and Lana, both are storytellers first and singers second. I hope they'll collab in future

[@suzannejane1035]

Spot on. I adore LDY.

[@Johnsmith47890]

@@richmaxmchalliwchester1984 yes! Taylor and Lana are both incredible. It’s so frustrating when people try to compare them and criticise them. They’re not even in the same genre so a lot of the comparisons don’t make sense but a collab with the two of them would be so incredible.

[@oneking2461]

1000000% she has shown what she’s capable of, making top records, becoming woman of decade, and so on! She is now just chillin

She’s been battling anxiety for years now. But she’s strong and getting over it and presenting us with amazing moments like this.

Yesss

[@FrontRowSeatToEarth]

It’s actually called blue eyed jazz

[@DutchHPfan1992]

Lana is a great vocalist but she just gets nervous. She's getting a bit more comfortable now. Her music is stunning..she's one of my favorite artists of all time.

[@laralowes]

Because her body is a map, so the hands tracing those roads and streets ( that are her curves ) like a land rover I find it so cute, Lana lyrics are always so good. ❤️ I'm so glad you enjoyed it after that initial disclaimer, and I think you will enjoy the tracks from her album Blue Banisters her vocals are really great on that from the loveliest to the most powerful ... check that out even if not to react to them

[@Nik-xk1jm]

She does have a sort of stage fright but she is amazing vocally when it comes to her concert tours. Please do an album reaction to Blue Banisters, to me it's her best album to date.

[@andrewmark2783]

Blue Bannisters really is a stunning piece of work. It doesn't quite top Norman Fucking Rockwell or Ultraviolent for me, but it is beautiful.

[@peace4949]

“Run your hand over me like a Land Rover” basically means like feel me a Land Rover feels the ground/road because she compares her body to a map of LA and her lovers touch to a Toyota/Land Rover.

[@RafaelMontoyaEscritor]

Lana's voice has evolved a lot, she is not the same as in her beginnings, even her lyrics have improved, now she has a peculiar originality, even she has said that she doesn't even like many lyrics of her past or how much she was nervous on stage. Now she is a strong and self-confident singer. Thank you very much for reacting to Lana, without a doubt together with Taylor are the best songwriters of today, we are waiting for more of your reactions to Lana del rey

[@glebvinokurov5451]

I kinda like that she kept those pitchy moments in the studio version. She (and people working with her) obviously knew about them and decided to keep it that way intentionally. She’s even said about this song specifically that she likes the vocals there. 🙂 This might be a controversial decision, but the song sounds more human and vulnerable. Also, it rejects the expectations of having to be perfect. It’s like she’s telling her haters: “I don’t give a damn and I can sing off tune on my album if I want to. What are you gonna do?”

[@djscarlet169]

I always fall in love with the way she sings "I'm a lost girl finding my way to ya" 🥺🖤

[@tacom1]

Lana is fantastic in telling HER story, with all all flaws and anxieties. I love listening to real genuine artists like her. Beautiful!

[@kenneythekoala]

Yeah it seems like she has been nervous since her SNL performance a decade ago. But i love that she seems to be a little more comfortable now, and she doesnt feel the need to being in a character like she used to. Much more natural and we can feel her shining through!

[@xBlackShadowx9]

omg finally lana !

[@mina_ophelia.Moonbeam]

she's the queen of emotion. she's always so nervous and emotional at the beginnings even in concert. she's very sensitive person., but for me she's the best of this generation.

[@patrykbylica4986]

Yes, she's suffering from anxiety but here she rather creates image of her that's shows her vulnerability and gentleness than she's being stressed out; in every music video, every performance etc. she shows us different side of her, and the way she's acting here suits to the song; btw i'm really glad you've finally reacted to something from her and you enjoyed it! Hope to see your reactions on more singles from the album, or even the whole album :)

[@egorzimowski3505]

agree with you, it seems like this time it was on purpose, as a part of performance Also I think she recorded the vocals and the video separately - so she had no reason to be stressed, she could re-record it if something went wrong.

[@Em-hz7tg]

@@Em-hz7tg dude ive seen you in multiple comments saying that, shes always been open about her anxiety and stage fright since before she was even famous- You dont have the right to go around saying people are faking their mental health especially when theres years of proof that say otherwise.

[@yasifneedsalife]

this song is so magical

[@alexanderjones451]

This is how Lana sings. She ate

[@weird.atall10296]

Lana is a big fan of Jazz, and I would say that her vocal style is mostly warm, laid back and soft, and a bit sexy haha. I would also say that her vocal is kind of versatile. It shows in some of her songs such as Off to the Races, Dealer (her part is at the chorus) and Cola. I don't know much about singing haha. It's just my little opinion. ☺️

[@sweetraven525]

You may find a better vocalist but you can't find a better musician and artist, and I'll wait.

[@JBurkie20]

Lana Del Rey is really well known to have severe stage fright and anxiety over performing so to answer your question, yes she does. Also can you react to her performing Let Me Love You Like A Woman on Jimmy Fallon?

[@YugoHayashi]

This song is so so beautiful. It breaks me everytime.

[@bryangermain9298]

Thank you for this reaction, I’m glad you gave another try to Lana’s music because I think she really is a talented artist, even if her genre is not so popular on your channel. Thanks for opening up your content 😉

[@āuroseGT]

The way Lana sings feels so artistic to me.. like.. if an abstract painting had sound, it would sound like Lana Del Rey haha.

[@nicolareveron3418]

A fun fact is that in 2011/2012 Lana appeared for the first time on a live program and suffered a panic crisis as the media had been attacking her for weeks. That's why Lana never performed live again. It was not until the end of last year / beginning of this year that Lana returned to do a presentation on tv after almost 9 years, of course they are pre-recorded presentations because she still has anxiety singing live. But as a fan of hers, I am so proud that she is overcoming her fears little by little. Great video!! Greetings from Venezuela!

[@thejordyjoansofficial]

Giving me Joni Mitchell vibes. It was lovely and a bit more of an authentic aesthetic than the Priscilla Presley - Born to Die era (loved her back then too). She seems like she’s really being herself here which is beautiful to watch 💙🍂

[@bobdoc12]

Lana is love. Taylor,.Billie and Lorde's career are because of Lana Del Rey. She's a legend

[@mazzymoon2612]

I love Lana but no that’s not it they all have their own unique things to them

[@sachabags]

@@mazzymoon2612 true, however: Taylor said that Lana was one of the most influential artist in pop music over the last decade, and inspired her at some point of her career; Lorde’s Royals / Pure Heroin was supposed to provide with a counter model to Lana’s Born to Die; Billie said that Lana was like a mother to her and artists of her generation. All in all, Taylor, Lorde, and Billie absolutely do not owe their career to Lana, they are talented artists by themselves; but Lana did influence them to some extent. Born to die was a cultural reset, and critics are finally acknowledging it after a whole decade (NFR! was a watershed moment in this process).

[@backup153]

@@sachabags I mean yeah she has influence but you worded it really weird how tay, billie and Ella's careers are BECAUSE of lana

[@TheQuibray]

Agreed, she did so much to pave the way for this soft, confessional, and "boring" (in a good way) singing in mainstream pop. Her and others, like Cat Power or Agnes Obel. The artists you mention are all deserving in their own right but there wouldn't be so much space for them on the market if Lana hadn't helped create it.

[@DaisyAruba]

Her style is what she’s feeling. I think relaxed, chill, running from her anxiety and escaping her inner demons or the war in her mind. Maybe that’s why I relate to her so much. Because I never felt like a singer but I’ve always known myself to be a writer. A communicator, someone who is also shy and anxious.

To me Lana Del Rey is a poet who is singing her poems aloud. She might sound lazy to some, but this is the first song that she’s done that made me think “wow, she can really sing”. The way she sings is what makes her so compelling.

[@soaribb32]

Lana is a pretty good singer, she grew a lot. Most of the new album was recorded in one take, which I guess explains they left the pitchy moments on purpose for some reason.

[@InSebastianworld]

[@livinginsaturn]

This song is about her body being a literal map of LA, and she is saying to this person to lay their hand over her like they're a Land Rover cause her body is the road (the map, every high and byway) and the person is the car (Land Rover). It's a nice metaphore.

[@armaanragaga]

Besides that she is struggling with anxiety I also thinks she is very sensitive while performing and she brings all her emotion into the songs

[@blackforest825]

[@ktkt5711]

Diana Ross came out with two new singles called “All Is Well” & “I Stil Believe” hope you react to them ❤️

[@raphfilms6243]

They kept destroying her in her entire career, pounding her with criticism and more criticism, it really makes someone really self-conscious. So the fact she is still persevering in her career is an attestation of her will and power to continue doing what she does. And as fans, because of these criticisms, we lost her. She has an empathic soul, and each time the world closes on her, she retreats into her shell, locks her social media and goes MIA. We need more kindness toward artists, man.

[@weird.atall10296]

I think she seemed to appear a bit nervous bc she once got a bit of backlash from doing her first live TV performance so I guess she's been kind of shy to perform on TV from then on, but her live performances are always really fantastic!

[@willpazmino6744]

She's getting more comfortable on the stage but she passed a really difficult time with the media and public in general. Her songwriting is improving and she's enjoying herself. I personally love Lana.

[@yes2hvn]

She definitely suffers from anxiety. Lanas voice is like a slow burn, so beautiful but she nails every era she makes a point to sing like.
