Watch Lana Del Rey perform at Saturday Night Live

Yesterday, Lana Del Rey performed at NBC's Saturday Night Live show. She performed two songs: "Video Games" and "Blues Jeans". She did quite well. Critics frequently bitch about her communication, shyness and singing skills. However, she can really sing and the reason she's little uncertain and shy is because she is not used to this. I think that she'll get much better at us. I hope she'll stay herself in the future because she's really talented. You can check both performances here on NBC Web site.

Lana Del Rey is set to release her debut record Born To Die on January 30.

Song of the day: She & Him - "In The Sun"
