Lana Del Rey has come a long way since the homespun video clip of 'Video Games' first hit the Internet this summer. Her big-budget 'Born to Die' music video, which leaked earlier today on this very Russian website, is miles away from the one that made her a YouTube sensation.

During the promotional rounds for the video, the much-hyped singer assured audiences it would feature a tiger. "It's a controversial video," she told the Sun, "You'll have to wait to see it but I got a generous budget." Well, Del Rey delivered.

The Woodkid-directed video boasts not one but two(!) tigers. It also features her alternately occupying a throne in the middle of a lavish cathedral, soaked in blood and encouraging some incredibly irresponsible driving. It may not be exactly controversial but at the very least, it's pretty out there. Do you think that the extra cash paid off? Or should she stick to the low-budget fare that made her famous? Sound off in the comments section.
