Daniel Radcliffe Defends Lana Del Rey's SNL Performance
Harry Potterstar Daniel Radcliffe has praisedLana Del Rey following herPerez Hilton and Juliette Lewison the social-networking site.
However, Radcliffe - who [uuid=5262fb6b-fc61-4566-b0c0-300afbb59f3e]presented the SNL episode[/uuid] that featured Del Rey's performances - has leapt to her defence, telling the BBC: "It was unfortunate that people seemed to turn on her so quickly.
"I also think people are making it about things other than the performance. If you read what people are saying about her online, it's all about her past and her family and stuff that's nobody else's business."
The actor added: "I don't think it [her performance] warranted anywhere near that reaction."
Lewis has since taken back the negative comments she made about Lana, later tweeting: "I woke up singing a @LanaDelRey song! Such great haunting melodies! Regardless of my own taste LIVE she's a #FreshandYummy songwriter. Period,"
Del Rey - real name Lizzie Grant - is gearing up to release her debut album on 30th January, [uuid=8fc81268-0686-4c69-ba6d-6c3cfb0e95e7]which will feature twelve tracks.
