Off To The Races live sounds different because it's a difficult song to sing as one full song. The studio version has vocal tracks that are added at certain parts of the song where it's normally and understandably difficult to transition easily into different notes.
The reason she can do it on the studio version is because she does in sections with several takes. This fucking impressive for a live performance. My favourite song of hers and I hope to see it live someday.
This perfomance is just art. its like shes going insane its crazy but im absolutely in love with it. Shes just so iconic. this peromance is amazing. love 3:40 makes me so happy shes just so into the music and the people who cant apperciate that are crazy. So proud to be A Lana Fan.
I actually love the fact that she doesn't "play it safe" and record songs that are easy to sing with the usual crescendo with each refrain like most of the acclaimed "screamers" do. her songs r tough to sing yet she doesn't hide behind voice overs. In fact i believe the imperfections add to the uniqueness of her performances because they r totally in line with the content of her songs.
And the other things is that NO ONE besides Lana could get away with singing her songs, it just wouldn't feel right. Oh, and she's the biggest sweetheart.
I noticed that she used footage from both lolita movies in the background, which to me shows that there’s a huge link between this song and Lolita. I don’t think Lana has ever spoken up about Lolita, it would be very interesting to know more about her relationship with the book!
@GeisFright I am wondering the same thing while viewing many of her youtube videos. I think shes suffering from anxiety and that can definitly mess up your voice. She needs to get that under control. Guess its why tour is cancelled now. She needs to get herself together cause I think she has potential to be artist of the decade and if she doesnt it will break my heart.
so what if she messes up? she plays it off like it's nothing. so what if she doesn't sing it like it is on the album? it's probably hard on her voice going from such low ranges to high ranges.
What the hell stop saying "this is a hard song to sing" she's the one who made it she should be able to sing it. I freaking love this song but I haven't heard her nail it live at all.
I completely agree with you! I think she is incredibly talented. But a complex arrangement of the song is not an excuse for a bad performance. And it's a shame cause this is probably one of her most awesome songs! She needs to improve on her performances! Maybe change the tempo or the key so she can sing this song live!
Actually she is perfect live and she always sounds good live,sometimes even better than on the cd. But I can admit this is not very good, that's because it's a reaally hard song to sing live,she tries her best though
Geeze, but the beginning is rough, though. Hope her people weren't hard on her afterwards. Poor dear. It sucks when your voice won't cooperate with you like that.
Not trolling, but she can't sing live :-/ and it's a shame. And don't tell me that it's impossible. A true artist can perform live even if it doesn't sticks to the album version. And again, not trolling :-/
I love these type of performances by her. Makes me feel close to her. 2012 feeling.

Ava Dickerson she could never sing that this again tho have u seen her recent it makes me sad that she cant sing like this anymore ilove lana
LDR_advocate I feel like shes still amazing she just sings it different💞
Ava Dickerson
I love the styles she used to wear
Seven years later, I still love this raw vocal of this song

it's like she doesn't give a fuck or has concentration problems. i still love her, she reminds me of amy winehouse.
beautiful!
She's perfect.
She’s grown so much wow! And her voice has changed drastically. It’s more mature now
She sounds great, I love her personality.
Finally a video where the fans aren’t shouting the lyrics over her
no stage nerves, breathing breaks, backing vocals, and a little audio help. this song is so hard live that all of those things help a ton

recuerden que ella va comenzando con la carrera de cantante !

She looks like a Greek goddess and that title is Marina's jajaj 😅
how is this even bad....
I love this song!!! But one question: why does she always have microphone with wire????
i think its because she likes old style soo i think she decided to just use the wired microphone
+Nic P She likes to play with it.
probably just multiple vocal takes in the studio
I actually didn't think she was bad at all...
Its hard song. U know
it is a really hard song to sing live.
What the hell stop saying "this is a hard song to sing" she's the one who made it she should be able to sing it. I freaking love this song but I haven't heard her nail it live at all.
she has nailed it live
omg girl ahahahhaha are you forr real?? u have absolutely no idea about songwriting
nor performing tho
Well the clips in the background were kinda nice...
Not to her credit, she is very stiff performing her flagship song. But in her defense, this song was not professionally recorded.
une grande difference entre version studio et le live .....elle chante faux waw ca c un pure produit commercial c'etait vraiment faux ayayay
She needs back up singers, help her stay on pitch. Lover her though.
come on, this song is almost impossible to sing live. She did a good job!!
A great disappoint. :(

I love the song and I don't hate her live performances, but she always messes up on this song. It is what it is and excuses shouldn't be made.
Actually she is perfect live and she always sounds good live,sometimes even better than on the cd. But I can admit this is not very good, that's because it's a reaally hard song to sing live,she tries her best though
IT´S HARD AS FUCK TO SING THIS SONG SERIOUSLY
I personally dont like her live but shes great i love lana
Geeze, but the beginning is rough, though. Hope her people weren't hard on her afterwards. Poor dear. It sucks when your voice won't cooperate with you like that.
Lana is great singer! I love her album and everything but she just can't sing live! :/ ... LOVE YOU!!!
@Twilighticious she sounded like crap in this one..really
She would be better singing Opera.
She sounds terrible at the beginning, but she pulls it together after the first chorus.
my opinion is if you can't sing a song well live you shouldn't record it.
ruins the excitement of seeing it live if they're not good.
It's bad,Lana!(She can sing better.
Not trolling, but she can't sing live :-/ and it's a shame. And don't tell me that it's impossible. A true artist can perform live even if it doesn't sticks to the album version. And again, not trolling :-/
I really don't like this song. No offense
austin mahone lover Ya well me too, I hate that it makes Lana hard to sing it on live :(
i love lana's albums but she can't sing live
She's perfect .
