"She&amp;apos;s impersonated the likes of Kris Jenner, Kathie Lee Gifford and Bjork, but on this weekend&amp;apos;s Saturday Night Live, Kristen Wiig delivered one of her best spoofs yet: Of out-there singer Lana Del Rey.\r\n\r\nAppearing as Rey during a segment of Weekend Update with Seth Meyers, Wiig, 38, answered critics of the singer&amp;apos;s hugely criticized January 14 SNL performance, which NBC&amp;apos;s Brian Williams declared &amp;quot;one of the worst outings in SNL history.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I thought [I sang two songs], but based on the public&amp;apos;s response [to my performance], I must have clubbed a baby seal while singing the Taliban national anthem,&amp;quot; Wiig, as Rey, told Meyers. &amp;quot;I am not here to defend my performance. The public has spoken and I have to accept that.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nWiig later went on to address a few of Rey&amp;apos;s biggest criticisms. &amp;quot;These critics are absolutely right. The music stage on Saturday Night Live is hallowed ground, and I failed to reach the high bar set by past guests like Bubba Sparxxx, The Baha Men and Shaggy,&amp;quot; Wiig said, nailing Rey&amp;apos;s mannerisms to a T.\r\n&amp;quot;I think people thought I was stiff, distant and weird, but there&amp;apos;s a perfectly good explanation for that: I am stiff, distant and weird!&amp;quot; she said.\r\nIn its first week on sale, Rey&amp;apos;s debut disc Born to Die reached No. 1 on the iTunes charts in 14 countries.\r\nWatch more of Wiig&amp;apos;s impersonation of Del Rey above!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
