It was amazing and Kick Ass! Hate it and I will cut you lol. No I won’t, but she gave us a personal account of what she went through when she got dropped from Def Jam and how she rose from that dark day. Well done Gaga.

this is exactly why the last few seconds make me dislike gaga now. I got nothing but a satanic vibe from the last few seconds of the clip and the fact that her choreographer of several years just left her for reasons that had to do with things she thought gaga was going that went against God. IT makes me think that she turned to the devil after she got dropped to get her where she is now. I know it sounds crazy but it’s what her video made me feel. I loved everything before that (that included the song) but those last few seconds ruined it for me. Never have i had so many chills run down my spine.

bad girl cockiness, I couldn’t help but angrily mutter under my breath the first time I saw it: Madonna. Really motherfucker! So Rihanna has an album cover that reminds you of oldanna and its fine, but Gaga shows cockiness and you get mad. SHUUUUUUUUUUUT THE FUUUUUUCK UP. OMG FUCKING GOD YOU ARE ANNOYING THE FUCK OUT OF ME. I’M DONE IWTH YOUR PATHETIC ATTEMPTS TO DISCREDIT GAGA.

Capital H.I.M, bitch

You’re obviously not someone who appreciates art or can recognize a metaphor. Every second of that video had beautiful, soul-bearing meaning. Keep writing your blog and jerking off to to that robot Britney every day, since apparently that’s as deep as you get. Let me know when she releases something you can call “art.” Thanks

OH STFU. You monsters are so brain dead and sheep like you call ANYTHING Gaga does art. The intro was so painfully written and insincere you know Gaga knows her fans are extremely stupid and will eat anything she does right up. PUHHHLEEEAZE bitch.

Everyone calm down. Geesh. This is indeed “art.” It’s just art made by a very young person. Metaphor alone doesn’t constitute art. I think the gurney intro is kind of hilarious and nothing about the Madonna references is honestly very surprising to me anymore. It’s Gaga at her best doing some funny self-referencing and pop-culture homage. But the problem is that she thinks this is metaphoric and subversive when there is no “symbolism.” The video just tells you what it is (the story of an industry underdog who made it) and could’ve been better as a straight autobiographical narrative (ala Papa Don’t Preach). But instead it’s full of tedious and silly bits that muddy up the message (the embarrassing Cheerios scenes, staring at her ass jiggle in a sunroof for a minute, etc…) I wanted to scream “Stop vamping like you’re on a catwalk if this story it SO important to you and just express something REAL!”
I appreciate that Gaga is bored by reality. It’s that trait that makes her a great artist. But a little grounding and modesty would give her work the anchor it needs to really mean something.

The word metaphor is thrown around pretty carelessly nowadays…  Her video isn’t much of a metaphor, but Gaga’s conception of autobiography is an established literary technique.  Vladimir Nabokov’s Speak, Memory, anyone?  When it comes to self-recollection, reality is often much more misleading than fantasy, mostly in that outsiders tend to interpret bare objects or moments within the context of their own relationship with the object, rather than within that of the artist’s.  By reconfiguring “reality” the artist can more precisely convey his/her connection to the objects/moments, and in doing so more wholly tell a story.  And, as Gaga mentioned in the beginning of the video, memory is ephemeral and unreliable, so by rendering it artistically, she guarantees her story will endure eternally. 

On a final note, it really bothers me that people have become so jaded.  Sure, Gaga may be in the more naive stages of artistic revelation, but she seems totally earnest in her convictions.  She’s a passionate–not to mention incredibly committed (rather, incredibly more committed than you douche bags)–and I think her fully exposed journey towards self-improvement/”artistic enlightenment” (I use the term in any context half-wryly) is admirable. 

I gave in and watch the video. Was resisting it when I heard it was 13 freaking minutes. Yes, the intro was indulgent. It was kinda funny at first and all this arty whatever thing that she was supposedly expressing was definitely not targeted to cynics or to win new fans. Her monsters would love this I think. I was too busy waiting for something to happen. When it does happen, since it took too long to get there, I got bored half way. She definitely needs a better choreographer and a new director. I guess the video is alright, couldve accomplished more with better editing but I guess Gaga was just not born that way.

What’s wrong with going against the papacy’s puppet you call god?

I actually enjoyed the intro, self indulgent as it was. The cheesiness was definitely there, but I resent this whole idea that since Madonna had a bad or sexual vibe first ANYONE who does it afterward is copying her. I feel like anyone chewing gum with an eyebrow raised is going to have garbage thrown at them because apparently Madonna is the only human being who has ever been that way. Ridiculous. I wasn’t impressed by the dance number itself or the fact that it almost entirely took place in the studio, but the movie-like sequences made this a win for me, particularly the end. Really good video. Her art is certainly still maturing but with the vision and passion she clearly has behind it I think once she becomes more experienced and humble we’re going to see her do amazing things.

Well then leave you idiot.

I was not particularly impressed with her videos for Born This Way, You and I, or Judas, though was a big fan of Telephone, Paparazzi, and Bad Romance. Her Marry The Night video – including the opening – cinched for me a hypothesis that’s been rattling around in my brain for over a year regarding her relevance and relatability. Please see this essay: “An Opus for the Warrior Queen: Lady Gaga, Trauma, and the Power of a Pop Mythology.” http://thehumbleopine.blogspot.com/2011/12/lady-trauma-and-power-of-pop-mythology.html

sucks i thought marry the night was amazing 

its weird when someone tries to be artistic they get bashed and criticized 
but the pop stars like madonna, britney, and katy perry make such basic and meaningless videos and they get praised???

you are so biased its not even funny – gaga is an artist 

well gaga doesnt want to be like britney – britneys videos are so basic and so easy to fathom – thats why people who dont understand gagas videos say its too wierd or too complex 

she worked three jobs to live in that apartment – her dad gave her a year to become successful and in that time frame – her dad didnt give her financial suppport
