Sorry, Gaga fans. This new FOREVER LONG video of hers is utter garbage. At least previous ones were shocking and/or interesting. This is a video in which she can’t decide if she’s trying to copy Madonna or trying to copy Janet Jackson, and on both counts it’s a total failure.
Plus, the song sucks.
The end.
I agree. I don’t like this song at all…but love her others. Oh well…
I feel like I just watched a porn! I actually like some of her music… But I just don’t understand why she has to show her crotch all the time!
I must respectfully disagree. For one thing, I love the song. And the video itself is supposed to be a slap-in-the-face type of work. (Collective “duh”.) It was made for her gay friends, and I thought it was very well done. I like weird dark stuff, and I also like anything sexy, LOL
1. I love how her lips look in this video… What kind of lipstick does she use???
2. I would really, really love to see all of her videos be made into Literal Videos…
I just don’t understand why she thinks her videos have to be 7+ minutes long now. Like, there was no reason for her to make this song longer, especially since she didn’t add anything to it but EVEN MORE parts where she just sings the word “Alejandro” over and over and over and over and over, and nothing really interesting (at least both “Telephone” and “Paparazzi” were longer because they were interesting). I felt like there was so much stuff that could have been cut out.
Also, I kind of oppose the detriment of religious imagery (of any sort, not just Christian) in popular culture. I still don’t approve of Madonna’s love affair with a black Saint in “Like a Prayer,” and I don’t approve of a bunch of gay men gangbanging a nun. Katy Perry called this “blasphemy” and “cheap,” and I kid of side with her on this one.
All in all, though, this video’s just ridiculously underwhelming. Not what I have come to expect.
WakeUp:
1. Probably something from MAC because she sells a lipstick with them.
2. YES. Let’s do it.
Upon review:
1. The first 2 minutes could have been cut completely. They add nothing to this video.
2. The “Vogue”-style breakdown portion should have replaced the sacrilegious nun-rape-gay-gangbang scenes instead of being awkwardly tossed in afterwards. This would also make the video less offensive.
3. The last 2 minutes could have been cut completely. They are awkward and add nothing but more contempt for the name “Alejandro” because GOD HOW MANY TIMES IS THAT NAME SAID IN THIS VIDEO.
The most disturbing thing to me were the hideous bowl haircuts.
