Line 9:
You can't talk about Lana without addressing the major controversy (controversies?) surrounding her sudden rise to fame, mainly relating to her image and persona. The biggest issue people seem to have with Lana is her supposed lack of "authenticity"; In interviews, Lana claimed to have lived in a trailer park for years, but it soon become known that she [[Secretly Wealthy|actually comes from money]] (her father is a millionaire), leading people to question why she'd [[Slumming It|purposely live in squalor]], and if she used her name to win some connections in the music industry. Others find her [[Hype Aversion|immensely overrated]], and uninteresting as a performer. Probably the most trivial of complaints directed at her, though, is in regard to her lips; many feel they are [[Gag Lips|comically exaggerated]] from cosmetic surgery, though Lana herself claims they aren't surgically enhanced. In any event, [[The Scrappy|people have found many reasons to hate on her]].
Lana's [[Saturday Night Live]] performances in early 2012 (of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zrvD-o8cII "Video Games""] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I62I3r2f-8&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL ''Blue Jeans"]) only made the above criticisms [[It Got Worse|worse]]. Many viewers were puzzled by her languid stage presence, her… unusual vocal performance, and [[Is This a Joke|some even thought she was an elaborate Kristen Wiig character]]. Needless to say, [[Snark Bait|Lana became a target for snark]], and was even called [[Worst Whatever Ever|the worst SNL performer ever]] by many. But weirdly enough, [[No Such Thing As Bad Publicity|her SNL appearance didn't hurt her album's opening week sales in America]] like many thought it would. SNL would later lampshade Lana's appearance on the show ([[Take That, Audience!|addressing the many criticisms thrown at her by viewers]]) during its Weekend Update segment... [[Crowning Moment of Funny|with Kristen Wiig actually playing Lana this time]]. You can watch her ''spot-on'' impression [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_SRvgejnZI here].
