Video: Lana Del Rey Impresses David Letterman

Last night, Lana Del Rey redeemed herself on the Late Show. In an off-white mini-dress, the pouty singer impressed David Letterman so much that he invited her back the next day, and Monday. Paul Schaffer went as far as to call her performance “gorgeous.” Could it be true? Was Del Rey actually great live? Watch her performance below.

Lately Del Rey has been under fire for her awkward performance on “SNL.” Everyone from Brian Williams to Juliette Lewis have attacked Del Rey with negative comments about her debut TV performance.

Well, that was so two weeks ago folks. Del Rey definitely took note on what her critics were saying, and impressed the heck out of us, Letterman and his music director Schaffer. Thursday night, she took the stage at the legendary Ed Sullivan Theater and delivered a stellar and sultry performance of her breakout song “Video Games.”

Del Rey ditched the funny twirls and constant swinging that made her “SNL” performance so damn strange, and went for something simpler. She just groped her mic and sang it straight. She played with the vocals a bit, but still kept it together. At the end of her performance Schaffer told Letterman, “It don’t get no better, that was gorgeous.” And it was.

If you haven’t, check out her performance on Letterman below.

What did you think? Did she redeem herself?
