Baby, we were born to die...

For a couple months, I kept stumbling upon her hype.  Lana Del Ray, what's up with this?  I tried a couple vids (Video Games) and came away thinking I'm just not getting it (which CAN happen, you know!).  Kind of hipster-retro Leslie Gore. When I saw her two songs on SNL (Video Games Blue Jeans), I still didn't get it.  Though hesitant, emotionless, monotoned, she wasn't terrible.  Why the hate, Brian Williams ( "..one of worst outings in SNL history.")?  She's not evil, merely not good.
