Just enjoy the video. It's supposed to be stupid and campy  | |

Lies. They all copy Janet!

My only criticism is that it wasn't seamless. It was a bit choppy and all over the place. When she started singing, it was so awkward and didn't blend in with what was goin down. As thouh the substance couldn't support the style. Gaga looked good too, she looked like Madonna in some scenes.  i know, she's in jail and she's singing "i'm in the club, kinda bussy"  
I was like... ehat kinda prison is she in?! | |

She even looks like her in the video. But all the others- Britney, Pink, Ciara, Beyonce- are all more like Janet than like Madonna. | |

Her look in the part where she starts to sing and dance outside the cells reminds me of this for some reason: | |

I think GaGa's green-tinted hair is reminiscent of late 80s Cyndi

minneapolisFunq said: This. Sucks.
Sponsored by virgin mobile, Beats by dr.dre, and Plentyoffish.com this song and video are a culmination of everything i hate about the music industry. Exactly. I am shocked at how many people like this.  "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

Some of the faces Beyoncé pulls are hilarious!!! Who knew she could be so funny?
My favourite bit was GaGa waitressing. You would not eat anything that bitch set in front of you, looking like that. Nah, the video didn't make any sense, and the song sounds like a typical Eastern-Bloc Eurovision entry... But it was bloody entertaining!!! | |

She always said she wanted to be Janet. Anyways, this video is VERY Madonna - Erotica era/Girlie show. | |

Her exact quote when she first hit the scene was "I want to be a legend like Madonna and Janet Jackson." The media keeps comparing her to Madonna, but it's obvious by her videos, dance moves, photos, stage shows, singing technique etc. that she is most influenced by Janet.

The video is great, but the song sucks. I don't really like any of her songs actually, too generic as far as production and vocals go. "Keep in mind that I'm an artist...and I'm sensitive about my shit."--E. Badu | |

I think she says that because Madonna's camp forces her to. Britney was at the RWU tour - LA show, front row and taking notes | |

My favourite Jonas Akerlund video is Madonna's 'American Life'.
There's an edit of the video on his website, which I've never seen before. It's even more heavy-handed with its message, than other versions I've seen. Just right-click and save: http://www.raf.se/items/0...n_Life.mov The American Life album is so uneven and so... odd. . [Edited 3/12/10 11:29am] | |

i dug the beginning part when she was locked up with all her random ass outfits  , but when beyonce came in, it got all  and meh, but it was okay. don't like the song, but i fucks with the video. weird stuff For all time I am with you, you are with me. | |

To me, this is a great pop track. Perfect for the clubs, infectious and danceable with a catchy hook and chorus. "Get up off that grey line" | |

I don't care for the song...
but the video?!  I dig it.
I liked the first half better though, maybe because it was Beyonce-less. 
The outfits, dancers, hair, makeup - it was all so fun, very fearless. How can I stand 2 stay where I am? / Poor butterfly who don't understand. | |

It's been like that every single time for me. The songs themselves are pretty boring and "plastic". But it's the visual that makes her interesting. And it's the videos that make the songs cool. It's the visuals that make her. Not her music. | |

That's so funny because that's exactly what I think about several of her songs, especially Bad Romance!! The chorus really could just be from any Eastern European Song Contest entry! I thought I was the only one | |
