American singer-songwriter - Lana Del Rey. She has been subjected to many criticisms and praises from the media and the public at the same time.

So what did she do when she was criticized? What did she do to overcome and assert her musical talent?

Always be yourself

A decade ago, Lana Del Rey appeared on the American music scene. Only with the MV Self-cutting Video Game, she became famous on YouTube. Her debut album Born to Die sold like hot cakes. In 2012, the name Lana Del Rey was the most searched on the Internet. A series of titles are also attached to young female artists: queen of sadcore music, melancholy of Hollywood.

But that was only part of the story at the time. Lana Del Rey was also criticized and criticized incessantly. 

Regarding music, she was accused of borrowing and plagiarizing music. Regarding the story in the composition, she was judged as negative, weak, sentimental, not suitable for the contemporary image of women having to be independent and strong. As for vocals, she was underrated and said to have the worst performance in Saturday Night Live history.

In short, Lana Del Rey is seen as a useless incompetent. She was disparaged by her colleagues, criticized by the media, and turned away by a part of the audience. Yet she still had a successful debut of both fame (and notoriety) and commercial unprecedented in pop history.

When criticized, what did Lana Del Rey do? Lana Del Rey chooses to face it, suffer and then keep creating because her biggest dream is to be a great poet. And also because, the legacy she wants to leave is to turn her life into a work of art.

Criticized for her voice, she is ready to post her bad singing on the official YouTube channel. Criticized as non-feminist music, she frankly said, she is not a feminist. Living under criticism, she created music as a response.

In fact, Lana Del Rey is a woman of complete talent in music. She does not deny the artistic creations that she makes. Lana Del Rey has always been herself and is not ashamed of her lyrics and songs.

Change perspective and never stop being creative

Lana Del Rey, despite her trauma, has transformed it into creative work. However, later on, although she is still an honest person in music, she has changed her perspective and conveyed messages. And so, she creates more and more amazing works.
