Juliette Lewis Slates Lana Del Rey In Quickest Backlash Ever

Lana Del Rey hasn't even got her debut LP out and yet, somehow, the backlash has already begun! We say 'somehow'; we know exactly why it has started – she makes really awful music and she's obviously getting very famous because she's easy on the eye.

Naturally, that's not a new criticism against pop-music, but who cares? If Lana Del Rey can rely on the same tired cliches of the alt.pop of yore, then we can certainly chide it for the same old boring reasons.

And oddly, we're not the only ones who think that Del Rey has a whiff of Emperor's New Clothes about her. The Also Makes Lousy Music actress, Juliette Lewis, has criticised Lana Del Rey's performance on Saturday Night Live.

Lana Del Rey appeared on SNL performing her drip-hop tracks, 'Video Games' and 'Blue Jeans'. Lewis didn't hang around waiting to have a pop at her via twitter:

Wow watching this 'singer' on SNL is like watching a 12 yearold in their bedroom when theyre pretending to sing and perform #signofourtimes

The irony here, of course, is that Lewis wouldn't have a music career if it wasn't for her being an already famous actress. See also: Zooey Deschanel in She & Him.

In the interests of fairness, hecklerspray would like to see Lewis, Deschanel AND Del Rey all shutting the frig up, forever and ever amen. Lousy music made by people with a fast-tracked career path, thanks to something remarkable away from their mediocre musical prowess.

What we're saying is, if you like Lana Del Rey's music, you must be either 8 years old or too proud to admit that you fancy her.

Not that Del Rey agrees.

"I got it because I'm a good musician. And I may not have a record out now, but I have been singing for a very long time, and I think that ['SNL' creator] Lorne Michaels knows that, and everyone over there knows that."

Yes. But would the fanboys and doting girls still fizz themselves into next week if you had a hare-lip and an iron claw?

Either way, if you include our involvement too, this is the most pointless spat in the history of anything, ever. Seriously. We should all be taken into a public square and flogged to death.

Until then, Lana Del Rey sucks and you're scum for liking her music.
