I kinda get what people are saying...sometimes it seems like she tries too hard or goes out of her way to be crazy as all hell...or maybe she really is crazy as all hell. Don't know the girl, so I really couldn't tell ya. shrug

Honey, stop talking and just create the music.

I saw no real inclination that she's really that eccentric. Prince pulled it off. Michael pulled it off. George Clinton pulled it off. David Bowie defintiely pulled it off (because he kept changing and some folks couldn't really keep up with him lol ). But Gaga? It's 50/50, either she's really eccentric or tries too hard to be that. I think that's why people are saying that they don't compare. neutral

Good point. I can get where she was going but, I don't know, it's like the video needed a darker song to compliment the video. That's why I raised some red flags. The visuals were great but the song still didn't quite match with it. It's like on some America Eats Its Young trip now that you mentioned it!!! eek

I agree that the eerie/dark intro of the video doesn't match the song/rest of the video

First it was like the Empire Strikes Back or Dune and suddenly it was the Powerpuff Girls or something like that lol lol

spit

I agree! Weird as hell!

Generally I try not to comment or care about celebrities and their weight but I hope that Gaga is taking care of herself. She looks good in the video but maybe just a little too skinny.

Oh, and is it weird that I am sexually attracted to skull face Gaga? death love

Yes it is. lol But you know I go on other sites and folks think she was actually hot in it. confused Not saying she's ugly (because she's not) but she's getting TOO skinny... it's starting to concern me a bit. confused

Yeah, I think she might be getting a little too thin but who knows, maybe some weight was "chopped off" in post production?

But you know the skull face guy was hotter anyways. And he actually looks like that for a living. I guess Gaga did that to prove some kind of point in the video (what point I'm still trying to figure out lol ).

As for the weight being chopped off yeah I can see your point in some areas.

His real name is Rick Genest but he goes by Zombie Boy. I think mainly he models like a living zombie/skeleton. That's what initially attracted people to him. He's a model on the circuit now and he's being promoted by Mugler. The Gaga connection came this year with him doing some kind of ad for Mugler (with one of the songs from Gaga's upcoming album) and this.

I could live without the opening 2:30 Mother Monster monologue, but it's cool when it gets going. The dance routine is a little busy, but the skull guy/girl section was on point!

Certainly makes the song more enjoyable.

I dig.

Visual illusion. The spikes on her face and shoulder give the illusion she is much thinner than she is. She shows off her phat ol behind in a couple shots and you can see its pretty plump and she isn't too skinny.

the choreography is... neutral

Thank you, I'm glad I'm not the only one!

It looks like they had no time and money left for a choreographer so they just came up with some weird moves. And didn't have any time rehearsing them either. disbelief

Plus the girl needs something to eat, she looks skinnier than ever.

Don't know why but it made me not to want to hear the song anymore. The song still remains anti-climatic. Same with this video. Judas better be tight or some shit. And she apparently got Clarence Clemons jamming his sax on "Hair".

Well she's not 100 % "normal" that's for sure. She's entertaining to me I don't know why people beat their brains out trying to figure her out.

I know but I think the people who get upset are just as worse as her I know her B.S that’s why I’m not offended. It’s entertainment and I think it’s because she’s a pop artist too that people are like why you being serious pop stars don’t get taken seriously of course, I’m no little monster so I call her out too but I think Gaga and her critics both need to fall back sometimes. It is not that serious on both sides. lol

I get real annoyed by that. I'm a fan but I have to be a "little monster"? Nah fuck that. Gaga was trippin' when she mentioned that. "Mama Monster" and I'm two years older than you, Stefani. Fuck outta here. ohgoon I agree though it's entertainment so I'm sure she's pleasing a lot of people. The video was actually quite boring though even with the visuals.

I'm always curious to hear why Prince fans have a hard time digesting LG. She reminds me, right now, of Purple Rain era Prince with the decadence, weird shit, concepts no one understands, etc... Except the technology is there to make videos with horns on her face and shoulders and shit.

Isn't she just celebrating common ideas like sex and politics and love, like Prince was, and encasing it in a weird vehicle, like Prince did?

neutral

Prince never tried to be weird. Gaga does all the time. There's a difference between the two.

So true. Prince never cared much for videos. It wasn't until the Lovesexy era that he put some thought into making a video. The rest of them were mostly stage performances (except Kiss and Raspberry Beret). It wasn't until I Wish U Heaven that he really tried 2 compete in the video arena.

Man I can only imagine... that's one of the main reasons I avoid Twitter these days. Some people I follow are "little monsters" and they can be quite loony when you disagree with them about Gaga.
