First of all, I'm sure that people who are versed in the history of her career know it's true. Second of all, that article is a secondary source proving it to be true.

Why would we reduce these genres, when we have no sources saying pop or rock, as these subgenres are quite different. For example if a band is Indie Rock, you won't say it is a rock band. Honestly I think it's misleading and doesn't tell the whole story. Gati123 ( talk) 08:43, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

There is no consistency with Artists on Wiki - Pop and Rock is too generalized. Why should Lorde's genres be reduced to this instead of being more specific when we have Lana Del Rey's Wiki page stating 'Dream Pop, Baroque Pop...' etc???

Please change 'She explains her disdain towards women wearing provocative lingerie and opining that "I’m sick of women being portrayed this way."[62]' to: Unafraid to speak her mind and a self-described feminist amid a generation of sexualized young pop stars who routinely strip down, Lorde is being heralded as a role model for young girls—a fact she finds very strange. “People like to paint me in a certain way, but I’m a hugely sex-positive person and I have nothing against anyone getting naked. For me personally I just don’t think it really would complement my music in any way or help me tell a story any better. It’s not like I have a problem with dancing around in undies—I think you can use that stuff in a hugely powerful way. It just hasn’t felt necessary for me.” http://www.vmagazine.com/site/content/1997/praise-the-lorde The text to be replaced is inaccurate, whereas the V Magazine interview consists of a direct quote from Lorde herself. Please amend, thank you. 115.188.60.86 ( talk) 11:23, 16 September 2014 (UTC)m 115.188.60.86 ( talk) 11:23, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
Interesting that neither the article nor this talk page (inc. the archive) mention the controversy regarding her age, given all the reliable sources, including International Business Times [1], USA Today [2], The Huffington Post [3], The Washington Post [4], and so on. I guess it's not noteworthy enough? -- 82.136.210.153 ( talk) 00:01, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
She talks about how her parents gave her a combination of adult and children books and "I remember reading Feed by M.T. Anderson when I was six, and her giving me Salinger and Carver at a young age, and Janet Frame really young too". Should this quote be added? Feed came out in 2004, she would have been 7, before even saying this she should have researched, if someone is trying to make them self seem smarter they should at least get the facts right. This quote just kind of makes her seem unintelligent and makes her look bad. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.26.163.208 ( talk) 03:37, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: No move. There's a very strong consensus that the singer is the primary topic and should remain at the base name. Cúchullain t/ c 16:09, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
Lorde → ? – The history of this title is a bit of a mess. Prior to the creation of this article,
Lorde redirected to
Audre Lorde, and at one point the disambiguation page is at the base title, and later this article is moved to the base. No formal RM discussion has taken place in the past, so I am starting this RM to determine whether the singer is the
WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "Lorde", and if not, where this article should be moved to.

I'm not an expert on Lorde or her music but she is clearly an unusually talented songwriter and performer, her songs are often outstanding lyrically but they also have considerable musical texture and depth. No doubt she has a very capable team around her but her (apparent) disclosure of here synaesthesia in her May 2017 interview on the Kim Hill show (Radio New Zealand, and available as a podcast on their site), fascinated me and gives an interesting slant on her music and its development.
I was surprised this doesn't seem to be mentioned in the Wiki article, I think that this would interest many readers and, maybe, offer them an interesting insight into the character and quality of her music. Swift-Godwit ( talk) 06:12, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

It appears that there are sources which say the Lorde is part Serbian, [5] [6]> but she says she is "a little bit Croatian, a little bit Irish" in the first few seconds of the interview here. [7]. I think we should accept her view of her heritage. @ Правичност: says in an edit summary that she has claimed Serbian heritage in an interview in Metro. A copy of this interview would help to clear this up.- gadfium 04:16, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

188.4.70.138 ( talk) 16:53, 18 September 2017 (UTC) She is a Croatian- Nea Zealand singer, songwriter etc
"Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars and Sara Bareilles have also influenced Lorde vocally."
To me, this seems a bit of a stretch from what was said in the source, in which she mentions them as part of an acceptance speech, for an award in which they were the other nominees. Granted, she did sort of say that ("I think mostly to Bruno [Mars], to Sara [Bareilles], to Katy [Perry], to Justin [Timberlake]. I have been so inspired by all of your vocal work at some point in my life, so thank you . . . Thank you so much!"), but to me that doesn't seem quite to suggest that they are significant factors in her music and how its developed, just a slightly throwaway comment. Apologies if this seems trivial for talk page discussion, but I didn't want to do anything rash given that I don't have much experience beyond fixing typos...

Under the controversy section, we have:
The inclusion of these details is not justified. Sorry, but not every word or fart by the pro-Israel crowd needs to be included in this article. Tagging above statements for WP:UNDUE. Al-Andalusi ( talk) 22:21, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
Regarding the following statement:
The statement in quotes was removed twice by user Shelcare ( [9], [10]), and by user Icewhiz with a deceptive edit summary ( [11]). The quote appears in mainstream news sources such as The Guardian (sourced in the edit). As the open letter was the main driver behind Lorde's decision, the insistence to remove te above statement constitutes a deliberate cover up by Icewhiz/Shelcare of the events that led to the cancellation. It is indeed a hypocritical move on Icewhiz/Shelcare's part, who spent days defending that Shmuley clown under the pretense of supporting variant POVs, but with the open letter, they don't give a crap about that.

Please change 'She explains her disdain towards women wearing provocative lingerie and opining that "I’m sick of women being portrayed this way."[62]' to: Unafraid to speak her mind and a self-described feminist amid a generation of sexualized young pop stars who routinely strip down, Lorde is being heralded as a role model for young girls—a fact she finds very strange. “People like to paint me in a certain way, but I’m a hugely sex-positive person and I have nothing against anyone getting naked. For me personally I just don’t think it really would complement my music in any way or help me tell a story any better. It’s not like I have a problem with dancing around in undies—I think you can use that stuff in a hugely powerful way. It just hasn’t felt necessary for me.” http://www.vmagazine.com/site/content/1997/praise-the-lorde The text to be replaced is inaccurate, whereas the V Magazine interview consists of a direct quote from Lorde herself.

Interesting that neither the article nor this talk page (inc. the archive) mention the controversy regarding her age, given all the reliable sources, including International Business Times [1], USA Today [2], The Huffington Post [3], The Washington Post [4], and so on. I guess it's not noteworthy enough? -- 82.136.210.153 ( talk) 00:01, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
She talks about how her parents gave her a combination of adult and children books and "I remember reading Feed by M.T. Anderson when I was six, and her giving me Salinger and Carver at a young age, and Janet Frame really young too". Should this quote be added? Feed came out in 2004, she would have been 7, before even saying this she should have researched, if someone is trying to make them self seem smarter they should at least get the facts right. This quote just kind of makes her seem unintelligent and makes her look bad. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.26.163.208 ( talk) 03:37, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

Birth name is Randy Marsh 96.42.78.230 ( talk) 22:31, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
So this article is semi-protected, but it still has South Park references in it. ie it says her birth name is Randy Marsh which is from the show. Very funny, but can someone fix it? — Preceding

Please fix birth name and date. She is not 61 years old and her name was not Randy Marsh. That's a joke from South Park. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.111.186.42 ( talk) 21:18, December 4, 2015 (UTC)

I think that the Discography section is wrong. It only features " Pure Heroine," and not her debut EP " The Love Club," which came out before it. Thank you 202.125.24.175 ( talk) 10:45, 27 December 2015 (UTC) 202.125.24.175 ( talk) 10:45, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
The editor who opened this appears to be inactive- unless one of the regular editors of this article fancies taking over, perhaps someone could close it so that it's not clogging up the PR page? Josh Milburn ( talk) 23:09, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: No move. There's a very strong consensus that the singer is the primary topic and should remain at the base name. Cúchullain t/ c 16:09, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
Lorde → ? – The history of this title is a bit of a mess. Prior to the creation of this article,
Lorde redirected to
Audre Lorde, and at one point the disambiguation page is at the base title, and later this article is moved to the base. No formal RM discussion has taken place in the past, so I am starting this RM to determine whether the singer is the
WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "Lorde", and if not, where this article should be moved to.

Did "Lorde" claim that "her public image as [sic] coming "naturally" to her"? Or did she say that the public image was the natural her? These are two completely different things. Royalcourtier ( talk) 22:48, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
I don't want the article to be nominated for deletion too soon, so I started a draft for "Green Light" at Draft:Green Light (Lorde song). All are welcome to help expand! --- Another Believer ( Talk) 23:47, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

I'm not an expert on Lorde or her music but she is clearly an unusually talented songwriter and performer, her songs are often outstanding lyrically but they also have considerable musical texture and depth. No doubt she has a very capable team around her but her (apparent) disclosure of here synaesthesia in her May 2017 interview on the Kim Hill show (Radio New Zealand, and available as a podcast on their site), fascinated me and gives an interesting slant on her music and its development.
I was surprised this doesn't seem to be mentioned in the Wiki article, I think that this would interest many readers and, maybe, offer them an interesting insight into the character and quality of her music. Swift-Godwit ( talk) 06:12, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

It appears that there are sources which say the Lorde is part Serbian, [5] [6]> but she says she is "a little bit Croatian, a little bit Irish" in the first few seconds of the interview here. [7]. I think we should accept her view of her heritage. @ Правичност: says in an edit summary that she has claimed Serbian heritage in an interview in Metro. A copy of this interview would help to clear this up.- gadfium 04:16, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your assumptions/jump to conclussions. Are you ignoring that Jelić is also Croatian surname and that there are over 100000 people with Croatian ancestry? Chernobog95 ( talk) 14:40, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

188.4.70.138 ( talk) 16:53, 18 September 2017 (UTC) She is a Croatian- Nea Zealand singer, songwriter etc
"Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars and Sara Bareilles have also influenced Lorde vocally."
To me, this seems a bit of a stretch from what was said in the source, in which she mentions them as part of an acceptance speech, for an award in which they were the other nominees. Granted, she did sort of say that ("I think mostly to Bruno [Mars], to Sara [Bareilles], to Katy [Perry], to Justin [Timberlake]. I have been so inspired by all of your vocal work at some point in my life, so thank you . . . Thank you so much!"), but to me that doesn't seem quite to suggest that they are significant factors in her music and how its developed, just a slightly throwaway comment. Apologies if this seems trivial for talk page discussion, but I didn't want to do anything rash given that I don't have much experience beyond fixing typos...

Change the fact that she is of Croatian origin, when she is not. She gave an interview ,recently, stating that she is clearly of Irish and Serbian decent. 178.148.56.240 ( talk) 08:46, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

Under the controversy section, we have:
The inclusion of these details is not justified. Sorry, but not every word or fart by the pro-Israel crowd needs to be included in this article. Tagging above statements for WP:UNDUE. Al-Andalusi ( talk) 22:21, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
Regarding the following statement:
The statement in quotes was removed twice by user Shelcare ( [9], [10]), and by user Icewhiz with a deceptive edit summary ( [11]). The quote appears in mainstream news sources such as The Guardian (sourced in the edit). As the open letter was the main driver behind Lorde's decision, the insistence to remove te above statement constitutes a deliberate cover up by Icewhiz/Shelcare of the events that led to the cancellation. It is indeed a hypocritical move on Icewhiz/Shelcare's part, who spent days defending that Shmuley clown under the pretense of supporting variant POVs, but with the open letter, they don't give a crap about that.
