No matter what Lana Del Rey did last night on 'Saturday Night Live,' she was bound to get people talking -- and critics typing. Since emerging last year with the viral video for her song 'Video Games,' the singer has divided the indie-rock community, striking some as an icy-cool purveyor of vintage style and modern ennui, others as a prefab pop princess posing as a more substantive artist.

Sure enough, Del Rey's 'SNL' performances -- 'Video Games' and 'Blue Jean,' both posted below -- have already sparked a flurry of Twitter commentaries. As Hollywood Reporter points out, actress and musician Juliette Lewis was among the first to slam the rising singer.

"Wow watching this 'singer' on SNL is like watching a 12 yearold [sic] in their bedroom when theyre pretending to sing and perform," Lewis reportedly tweeted, although the post seems to have been deleted.
