Lana Del Rey's 'Saturday Night Live' Performance Defended by Daniel Radcliffe

Might not have been the greatest ever but not the worst either and hardly deserving of the criticism.

I've watched SNL as long as it's been on and it is definitely not the worse. At least she didn't pass out on her piano, lip sync to the wrong song and clog her way off stage, sweat profusely, or tried to be cool and break a guitar and fail 3x, rip up a picture of the pope. She wasn't nearly as bad as Puff Daddys most recent performance...that was awful.

Didn't the Replacements show up and do the show so drunk that Loren Michaels banned them for life from ever playing on SNL again.

I realy don't know why all the criticism. I think she sang it the way she interpreted it. People just don't get it....I.E. Bryan Williams. I thought as a journalist youwere supposed to remain neutral and unbiased in your views. I am actualy dissapointed in his conduct. She was authentic. You can't attack that. Such is human nature.

If you watch her other performances on youtube none seem to be with the band she played with on SNL, and in fact the song Video Games is performed more often accompanied with an piano which helps to highlight her beautiful voice. I'm going to blame this on the person you decided to put her out in front of a band instead of her usual group of musicians.
I'm going to buy her album, I love her voice and that's all that matters to me, not whether or not Brian Williams thinks her performance was sub par

tell them daniel god . oh i am sorry it is not rap gangsta sytle like they like well i for one thought she did quite well . i say well done lana i will buy the album .

I've seen and heard a lot worse performances. I have to agree with
Daniel Radcliffe.

I seriously doubt she is less experienced than 'The Blues Brothers' were.

I don't honestly think it was the worst on SNL.....but I won't say that it was the best. There have been other great performances, but Del Rey's wasn't exactly the best. I agree with Daniel to a point. No need to hate on someone because their performance wasn't great. Everyone has their down moments, and maybe this was one of hers... :/

Good for you harry potter, just as humble in real life as in the movie.

I saw her performance and thought it wasnt the best song for that moment but her performance was on the money. She has her own style and I think that bothers some of the cloned "entertainers". If she withstands all the #$%$ critics I think she will deserve an apololgy from them in good time.

I do think that people are getting upset about the performance but I am mostly upset by how no one knows her and all she had to was have her Father pay for it and that there are so many bands and artists working hard blood and sweat and they don't have a parent out there paying for them to be on SNL....That makes me very upset.

aside from looking slightly uncomfortable, I agree with Nayeli...hauntingly beautiful voice. Flaws and all. She's real.

I liked her performance. There were possibly some issues with vocal levels etc. but her voice is hauntingly pretty. I agree with Daniel Radcliffe.

i'm more upset in tht musician lady juliette lewis. I DON'T EVEN KNOW HER!!! but i know lana so tht makes lana is a winner!!
