Lady Gaga Premieres “Bad Romance,” Her Craziest Video Yet

11/10/09, 3:56 pm EST

Just one album into her career, Lady Gaga has established herself as someone impervious to predictions — especially in the music video department. And the video for her first Fame Monster single, “Bad Romance,” has Gaga providing fans with perhaps her craziest, brightest canvas yet. A collaboration between director Frances Lawrence and the Haus of Gaga — or in this case, the Bath House of Gaga — “Bad Romance” finds Gaga simultaneously paying homage visually to Kubrick and lyrically to Hitchcock (”I want your psycho / Your vertigo stick / Want you in my rear window”), all while dressed in some of the most outrageous outfits she’s ever worn (and that’s saying a lot). The video premiered today over at Gaga’s official site.

Check out Lady Gaga’s wildest wardrobe moments.

“I knew [Lawrence's] ability as a director is so much higher than what I could [do],” Gaga told MTV News last week about working with a music video veteran who went on to direct Will Smith in I Am Legend. “There’s this one shot in the video where I get kidnapped by supermodels. I’m washing away my sins and they shove vodka down my throat to drug me up before they sell me off to the Russian mafia.” The Russian mafia storyline is just one of many seemingly interconnecting plotlines weaving in and out of “Bad Romance.” As with any good music video, “Bad Romance” also boasts pyrotechnics, fleeting NSFW moments, creepy hairless cats and near-subconscious product placement (see if you can spot her Heartbeats headphones).

As with Gaga’s other videos, the main star here is Gaga’s otherworldly fashion. She strikes a pose in her now-famed “Orbit” outfit, does a Where the Wild Things Are-inspired dance in a white latex bodysuit and traipses around in Alexander McQueen’s 12-inch tall “Armadillo” stilettos. In the video’s final act, Gaga, donning what appears to be a polar bear fur coat (head included, natch), begins to disrobe, thus causing her male companion with the gold-plated jaw to spontaneously burst into flames. Now that’s a sentence only a Lady Gaga video can produce.

As Rolling Stone previously reported, our Hot Diva will release her supped-up The Fame Monster on November 23rd. The re-release will contain all of the songs from The Fame plus eight new tracks, including Gaga’s collaboration with Beyoncé, “Telephone.” Gaga’s The Monster Ball tour kicks off November 27th in Quebec (Get Rolling Stone’s inside scoop on the Monster Ball from Gaga here.) Before all that, however, Gaga will guest star on next Monday’s episode of Gossip Girl.

She has a good voice, but lets face the truth. Video is boring. Dancing is a crap. The song is a complete sh*t.
I am sorry that I’ve lost 5 minutes of my life watching that.

Ahhh so brilliant! Incredible song, trademark wacky choregraphy, stunning video.

Her best video and track, so far.

I haven’t been excited about a POP artist and everything they do – videos, live performances, singles….since god knows when. Thanks for making pop music exciting again Gaga. Thanks for making GOOD music whilst keeping the visuals and theatrics alive. Made my week.

Lady Gaga is the biggest rock | 11/10/2009, 5:22 pm EST

Lady Gaga is the biggest rock star on the planet right now – who else even comes close?

“Lady Gaga is the biggest rock star on the planet right now – who else even comes close?”

BA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!! AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!! DO YOU HAVE A SHOW ON COMEDY CENTRAL OR SOMETHING?

ROBERT | 11/10/2009, 6:49 pm EST

what a joke is this?? the biggest rock start on the planet?? you wish!

the video is boring as hell, nothing new…the same old shit as her previous videos, crazy outfits, totally incoherent storyline, her ugly face, rubish!

Ummm | 11/10/2009, 6:59 pm EST

Rock star? No. Hell no. Lady Gaga is a pop star and those come and go like Kleenex. Let’s see how a second album does once the shock factor wears off….

Jere | 11/10/2009, 7:36 pm EST

Video’s the shit. Song is meh at best, but at least its chorus works. More than you can say for Britney lately.

AT | 11/10/2009, 7:39 pm EST

There is a reason her shows and videos have to be such a production, her songs aren’t very good. She has to put on a play so that people can be entertained because the music alone can’t keep people there. I think everyone should be able to make their own music even if people don’t like it. I just don’t like it when people are so full of themselves and call themselves an “artist.” Your not an artist your a musician, in this case a terrible one. People used to just show up to shows to listen to the music not watch some bullcrap up on stage. That’s why the music industry is failing not because of piracy but because the live shows suck. These new acts can’t deliver on stage and they are crammed down everyones throat, they all just lip synch in concert anyways. Video is dumb and the song is dumb, she will be done and forgotten in about 2 years. Just weather the marketing and crappy radio storm real music lovers.

peaches | 11/10/2009, 8:03 pm EST

Love her! She’s Ballsy! One talented Biatch! She pushes the envelope and that’ll take her to the top!

I used to be a rock n roll purist too but it got boring. Embrace pop music, it’s not cool to hate it anymore. Just makes you look bitter and old.

GagaNtastic | 11/10/2009, 9:49 pm EST

@mary youre probably a fan of some other-to-the-left forgotten singer, but lets face it!,

Gaga’s done in 1 year what every other female singer has done in even 10!

Or why did you take 5 minutes to watch her video??? curious?? LOL nice try but you still went on and searched for the video!

Lola | 11/10/2009, 9:51 pm EST

She is a TRUE ARTIST, so we will know more about her, trust me. She is unique in what she does, SHE IS ONE OF HER KIND!!! No matter if she is a rockstar or popstar, for example look where britney is with non talent, Lady Gaga will be farther..

AT | 11/10/2009, 10:52 pm EST

truth, you are a sellout pawn of the master of the sheeple. You are herded to like whatever they tell you to like. This video is just stupid, music is suppose to be heard it shouldn’t have to have a music video. She is a crappy musician, trying to hide it by making huge production shows and videos. There is no real statement behind what she sings about no real content. That is why I don’t like her, if her biggest problem is being followed by photographers and having a bad romance. Then I don’t want to listen to her, some of us have bigger problems and a mind that is more developed than an 11 year old.

Kubrick?? What about Matthew Barney?

AT | 11/11/2009, 1:30 am EST

Yo, Lady GaGa is more than a talented chick. You live in the 1970’s bro, today, talent doesnt get you anywhere.there are SOOOOO many talneted artists out there who dont make it cause talent alone isnt enough. GaGa has the creativity, innovation, passion and swagger that no artist today possesses. Don;t believe it? She was one of 20 accepted to the NYU Tisch School of Arts in the prestigous Clive Davis program and was offered a place at Julliard when she was 14 but she turned it down. She works extrememly hard and her live shows are unreal and groundbreaking. She makes the entire package: vocal and music, visual and choreography, costume and video, performance and art work together and makes it amazing. Shes the only artist ever to have 4 # 1 singles from a debut album. Her success and results speak louder than your ignorant and misinformed opinion. Respect the new generation of music, and stop being jealous of a 23 year old girl having more talent, success and fame than you’ll ever recieve.

Chris | 11/11/2009, 2:17 am EST

@AT – She chooses to create a visual along with her songs to give the full experience as a performance artist (Try taking a music class and you’ll learn about that). Pop music is structurally simplistic but requires much thought to gain mass appeal, which is not necessary for most other genres. She happens to be a very talented artist and accomplished musician but she knows what sells. She is also very capable of delivering onstage. You should reevaluate the themes presented in the songs and in the visuals; they’re obviously presented. Become educated on a topic before you start criticizing others about it. I’ll think back to your ridiculous comments in two years when she’s still around and laugh.

Dillard | 11/11/2009, 2:23 am EST

Lady Gaga math:

Techno music + Lyrics about being a whore= A hit song.

Only in today’s society is doing crazy things for attention now the definition for “artist.”

Halex | 11/11/2009, 2:04 pm EST

WELL SAID AT!!!!

Schultz | 11/11/2009, 2:04 pm EST

The tune isn’t so great, but I give her props for adding “interesting” or “crappy” visuals to her songs, depending on what side of the fence you are on. Sure beats the shit out of watching Britney on a stripper pole or some sap in jeans and t-shirt stare at his shoes for the entire song.

Ric | 11/11/2009, 2:05 pm EST

GaGa is a real artist. She can put on an amazing show combining fashion, behaviour, live singing, coreography and stage acts. Unlike Britney, she has talent. Not the best voice, not the most beautiful face, and still a real star.

There’s a difference between doing whatever you want and trying to get attention at any cost. Lady GaGa is creative and talented, a little eccentric, and capable of making jaws drop everywhere.

Look at Katy Perry, for example. She just screams “look at me, I need attention” with her “I kissed a girl, but I’m not a lesbian. I wear curtains and table cloth and I say bad words” attitude.

Nina | 11/11/2009, 2:33 pm EST

Lady Gaga ROCKS POP!!!!

MB | 11/11/2009, 2:49 pm EST

This goes out to AT. AT I consider myself young in my 20’s so im not just defending the 70’s era becuase I wasnt even born yet. Now I was going to read along and not post anything this time around but I think you need to know a few things. Lady Gaga doesnt write her own music. If you dont believe me google it. Also Lady Gaga doesnt play an instrument. If you dont believe me watch her live shows. Also Lady Gaga doesnt dress herself up, she has marketing execs dress her with her input saying “yes I like it” So with all that being said, what talent are you talking about that she posseses? Oh and if you try to say she plays an instrument watch her live shows and notice her finger frets arent even the keys that are being played. I know because I play music. So again what talent are you refering too?

DL | 11/11/2009, 3:05 pm EST

MB that was the most stupid comment i ever read…
(figure why)

but yeah i sill hate gaga

bob | 11/11/2009, 3:11 pm EST

Lady gaga is an artist as Bush is smart

Fuck her

we all know why she is famous….

Jack | 11/11/2009, 3:37 pm EST

“Lady Gaga doesnt write her own music.”
Yes, she does. Watch any of her interviews, hell, even check the credits on her album. Moron.
“Also Lady Gaga doesnt play an instrument.”
Yes, she does. Check her live sessions. Idiot.
“Also Lady Gaga doesnt dress herself up, she has marketing execs dress her with her input saying “yes I like it””
But yet she never shuts up about fashion, coincidence, I guess.

Then you rattle on about finger frets, you’re just an idiot, man. When she makes mistakes in the sessions, you HEAR the mistakes.

I think Gaga is good at showing the idiocy of you rock and roll purists, unwilling to accept anything that isn’t clad in black and singing about, well, who really cares what they’re singing about ’cause there’s a guitar solo!!!111one
Rock is about more than a f’king guitar, man.

CSF44 | 11/11/2009, 3:46 pm EST

She doesn’t write her own songs and guess what she doesn’t really manage her career her handlers do.
People wake up!!!!

redraider3 | 11/11/2009, 4:08 pm EST

She most certainly writes her own songs. She was a songwriter first. CSF44 – you should do some research before commenting.

redraider3 | 11/11/2009, 4:09 pm EST

t’s a shame people still shun something new and different. Like Katy Perry said: “Gaga is on another planet no one else can get to right now… She’s eating, breathing, living it.” There hasn’t been another like her since Madonna. Pre-packeged, corporate pop stars like Brit and Xtina DO NOT COUNT. This chick hustled her butt off in the clubs honing her persona since she was a kid. She is giving us high performance art. Only a philistine wouldn’t get it.

redraider3 | 11/11/2009, 4:14 pm EST

MB – Have you been to a show? I was right up front when she was on the piano. She MOST DEF plays live. She MOST DEF sings live. I heard the singing coming out of her mouth and the music coming out of the piano before I heard it come out of the speakers. Check YouTube clips of her as a teenager playing little dank clubs with long brown hair playing Zeppelin on the piano. You have no idea what you are talking about.

Leavely | 11/11/2009, 4:35 pm EST

Alright, I need to sort a few things out.

@GagaNtastic: She’s done in 1 year what no other female artist has done in 10? Right, because Britney, Christina, Beyonce and Rihanna NEVER had a bunch of hits off a single album. Even if you’re a Gaga fanatic, you need to keep reality in perspective. She stands just as much of an equal chance of being a has-been in a few years as she does of becoming a legend. So don’t crown her queen of pop just yet. Remember Oasis being branded as the new Beatles? And how well that worked out?

@AT: She is talented, yes, I won’t deny that, but the reason other musicians who are MORE talented than Gaga can’t get a break is cause record labels won’t give a damn about them for obvious reasons. If Gaga didn’t show so much skin, you think she’d have an easier time getting signed? How do you explain Britney? Think about it.

@Ric:”Look at Katy Perry, for example. She just screams “look at me, I need attention” with her “I kissed a girl, but I’m not a lesbian. I wear curtains and table cloth and I say bad words” attitude.”

And Lady Gaga doesn’t scream “look at me, I need attention”? Pretty hypocritical of you, don’t you think? That’s like a Britney fan calling out another artist for lip-syncing. Pot, meet kettle.

@MB: I don’t like her either, but if she couldn’t write or play an instrument, she wouldn’t be accepted to Clive Davis’ music program at Tisch University. I mean, if you’re gonna raise an argument about her, make sure it’s one that can be backed up.

And a final point. Lady Gaga is talented, yes that is a fact. She indeed is miles ahead of Britney in the talent department. But then again, so is 98% of the world’s population. So being better than Britney isn’t THAT big of a deal. You can’t deny that however talented Gaga is, marketing played a huge, HUGE factor in her success. I mean, when you listen to just her music with no accompanying visuals, yes it’s fun and enjoyable and gets your blood pumping, but it’s certainly no work of genius. Geniuses don’t make music that can easily be replicated on a MacBook. And I’m not saying all music should be super-deep and whatnot, there’s nothing wrong with listening to music just for the sake of cutting loose, but what irks me is people calling Gaga “brilliant” and “genius”. Uh, no she isn’t. People need to know there can be a huge difference between “very talented” and “musical genius”. She is the former. The only thing she’s a genius at is marketing herself. Stop trying to elevate her to some musical equivalent of Picasso. That is why some people will always have a hard time enjoying her music or taking her seriously as an artist when she’s constantly being painted as “cutting-edge”, “avant garde” and “badass”. She’s none of them. She’s just a musician. And one who tries too hard, I might add. Although it’s certainly working in her favor.

LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!Haha

Chris | 11/11/2009, 10:23 pm EST

“Lady Gaga doesnt write her own music.”
Not only has she written or co-written every song she’s ever released, but she has written songs for other artists as well (Britney, The Pussycat Dolls, etc.)
“Also Lady Gaga doesnt play an instrument.”
False again. She ear taught herself piano at age 8, and has played piano live on literally dozens of occasions.
“Also Lady Gaga doesnt dress herself up, she has marketing execs dress her with her input saying “yes I like it””
Again, false. Not only does she pick out most of her clothes personally (through close relationships with designers like Alexander McQueen), but she and her design team at Haus of GaGa make the rest of her clothes.
If you don’t like her, that’s fine, but please, do a little research. Regardless of your opinion of her music/public persona, there is no denying she is very talented.

tattoodrake | 11/11/2009, 10:29 pm EST

it’s ok to be jealous, but keep it to yourself.
no one in pop has caused such controversy and made such a big powerful impact in the music industry. lady gaga is talented admit it. most of yous can’t even sing, so don’t go judging other people.

Elmo of Sesame str. | 11/12/2009, 4:46 am EST

By bed, bath and beyond the most balls-out (or so she claims in the form of a poorly thought-put publicity stunt) ridiculous musician. Somehow people like her turned music into mindnumbing, mentally crushing, soul-sloshing noise… This is a bad song accompanied by a bad video. lawrence is that good… ”I Am Legend” was only good for the first half hour where there’s no real directing needed, and it’s not even that demanding of a movie director-wise.

Have to admit...she delivered. | 11/12/2009, 8:15 am EST

Okay, this is the first time all the pieces of her contrived little puzzle have come together. Fantastic video.

You have to give her credit for TRYING when most new artists in the past 5 years have been a wash of forgettable, market-baiting blandness. Is there any wonder many of the popular musicians of today were the popular musicians of the late 90s?

True, her pop tunes makes Britney and Beyonce sound ‘alternative’, but her ‘image’ and her gimmicks are clever and give lots of middle American teens the thrill of the New York underground or the more progressive European dance-pop scene. It’s like CalArts gave birth to a popstar who was then given all the best pop music Sweden has to offer.

Up until now it was pretty mind-numbing…but this video hints that she may be capable of trancending her gimmick and giving us something with substance (say what you will, but the average Britney song has more coherent lyrical content than Gaga…and boy, that’s saying something) that will validate all this hype.

Ric | 11/12/2009, 10:02 am EST

@Leavely Yes, lady GaGa screams for attention, but I think she’s more honest than artists like Katy Perry. She’s done her homework, she knows her influences and uses them well.

She appeals to the gay community because she’s lived that. Not like Katy, that talks about an experience she had just to look cool and open minded. I don’t know, she sounds shallow.

I like some of her songs, I just don’t like her. And I think she sucks live.

Lady GaGa crosses the line to shock people, and of course that’s yelling for attention, but you can feel that’s who she is.

Of course she’s no genius, her music is disposable and she tries too hard, but you gotta give her some credit.

I just like seeing someone who cares about putting up a real show (like Madonna, Kylie, Freddy Mercury, Michael Jackson, Aerosmith, Kiss…), but doesn’t forget about the quality of her music (like Britney, who throws a huge concert but has no talent at all and doesn’t sing live).

MB | 11/12/2009, 11:13 am EST

No Redraider3 I havent been to her shows because I dont go to entertainment shows I go to actual Concerts!

MB | 11/12/2009, 11:29 am EST

Its ashame on how brainwashed most of our society has become toward music. Its become so bad that if someone shows a spec or a hint 1% of talent, you all think shes amazing. Lady GaGa wouldnt even make the airwaves in other times but unfortunatly in todays society a 5 year old singing about popsicles can become a huge hit just as long as the right marketing team is behind it.

Erika | 11/12/2009, 12:29 pm EST

The shame, MB, is in how limited most of our society has become toward music. I’ve been in concerts from Aerosmith, AC/DC, Iron Maiden to Madonna, Kylie Minogue and Cyndi Lauper. And had fun in ALL of them.

Some people like vocal technique, some people like looks, some people like dancing, some people want the whole Las Vegas style concert. You’re just too small minded to look at artists with different eyes.

You’re living on “yesterday”. “Other times” are gone, and new times will come. Focus on “now”. We have access to all kinds of music, all over the world. I live in Brazil and I’m talking to you about our musical preferences. It’s called technology. Instead of using it to complain, use it to know other cultures, different music, and learn that you can enjoy anything if you make a little effort..

Yes, a 5 year old singing about popsicles can become a hit with the right marketing team. Britney Spears is worse than that and she’s successful. I don’t even consider her an artist, but if I’m at a club and someone plays her songs, I’ll probably be the first one dancing at the floor.

Complain less and listen more. The world is a lot bigger than your tiny mind.

Good Gaga Almighty | 11/12/2009, 9:17 pm EST

I agree with Mary.

But when I watched this vid I also realized that Gaga is one of those women who isn’t really facially attractive to me (strangely, she was only 3 years ago), yet she is extremely sexy.

lmacka | 11/12/2009, 10:20 pm EST

hey AT, what was the last time you watched music on TV was when the Beatles were on Ed Sullivan?

KAB | 11/13/2009, 3:23 am EST

For all of you that think she’s a crappy artist..google “lady gaga grand journal”. that’s what sold me.

MB | 11/13/2009, 9:59 am EST

ERIKA your comments are absolutely ridiculous. You almost sound like your celebrating the fact that a good marketing team will sell you music and thats a good thing! You admit that Britney Spears has no talent but yet you would dance to her songs at a club. Haha your a marketers dream come true! And btw I do evolve in the music world I just dont allow junk to be a part of it! Just because somethings new doesnt mean we as a society have to accept it in being good. I like a lot of bands that are out today you just wouldnt know who they are because there “marketing team” isnt as good as the bands you like. If lady gaga didnt dress like a lunatic everytime half of her fan base would not exist. Its called shock value to compensate the lack of goodness. Peace im done with this topic.

sef | 11/13/2009, 11:14 am EST

how come gaga’s face and body parts are EXTREMELY altered? her waistline is not that small compared to candid pics i saw and she has a HUUUGE nose but they made them small here.. they also made her eyes big.

Erika | 11/13/2009, 11:40 am EST

Of course I would dance to her songs. I’m at a club, I wanna have fun, and her songs are made to dance. I don’t worship her, I don’t listen to her songs at home, I don’t buy her CDs, but I’m capable of enjoying different things at specific situations.

And I can also see talented people who I don’t like. Mariah Carey was once really talented, and her voice was impressive. I can’t stand her.

There are plenty of good bands out there who don’t have a good marketing team. That’s really unfair, but does that mean I have to live in a shell like you do?

Who are you to decide what’s junk and what’s real music? What’s the criteria? Vocal technique? Listen to Kathleen Battle, Maria Callas, Joan Sutherland, Diana Damrau, Anna Netrebko. Catchy songs? Lady Gaga, Madonna, Kylie Minogue. Guitar solos? Listen to Satriani, Steve Vai, Dream Theather. You wanna dance? There are plenty of DJs out there with amazing stuff.

I don’t need to prove anything to anyone. I don’t have to limit myself, even though I can see who has talent or who doesn’t. You just take things too seriously.

Maven76 | 11/13/2009, 12:34 pm EST

Catchy jam, progressive video. The heir apparent to Madonna’s throne. Poor Britney must be crying….oh sorry…lip sync crying. Its the return of a true popstar. Talent included this time around. Nice work Gaga. Its just a pop song kids. Those who lose their minds over it need to calm down. Its not Zeppelin. We know that. Go wait in the car.

Wow | 11/13/2009, 12:36 pm EST

Awful lot of hate going on with this woman for some reason. She’s ugly? I’ll take a huge nose with a good body any day assuming the so called artist is actually trying to be, you know, artistic, which is more than can be said for almost everyone else in her “genre” right now. She’s pretty gutsy considering she actually does write and play music, you know… with an instrument, and does sing while she performs. This puts her far above most of the other horrible frauds, and whether or not you like the music is subjective. But, I do give her credit for actually having a huge stake in what she considers to be her creative output as compared to, again, the absolutely talentless Britneys of the world. I personally am a metalhead but there’s something to be said for her 80s synthpop sound, she’s onto something and it’s no wonder she’s blown up as much as she has.

powerpuff girl | 11/13/2009, 1:01 pm EST

she is another dream come true to society for today who sees talent in almost everything that is outrages and stupid. Some of the people dont buy it i call those people smart.

BEST VIDEO EVER!

JK | 11/13/2009, 5:35 pm EST

this discussion is so GAY…I dont think she´s awesome yet I dont think she´s worst than any other pop star, she´s just trying to get as much atention in her 15 minutes of fame, at least she definitely knows how and laughs about herself, one thing I have to admit is she does deliver a sense of style

@Maven76.

Why would Britney Spears be crying? Britney doesn’t give a crap. She shaves her head, beats cars with umbrellas. She’s over it. Britney is just as famous or even more famous then Lady Gaga and she doesn’t even try! Lady Gaga has to work really hard to get attention just to match up.

There is so much hate for Lady GaGa out there, people just don’t see what she is doing to the industry: redefining it completely.

She takes everything to the limits, pushing all the boundaries of what is the norm, giving viewers something fresh to look at. You can hate her all you want, but you cannot say that she doesn’t have any flair, her videos are far from boring – they are fun and filled with alternate readings.

GaGa is doing what Madonna, Kylie and old school Britney did, she’s just bringing a new flavour to the dying world of pop.

If you have nothing nice to say, just keep thoughts to yourself. Life is too short to be bagging people you’ll never meet, and don’t even know that you exist. It’s just petty and saaaad!

Get a life people.

for gods sake get that nose fixed.

Bezdomny | 11/15/2009, 10:00 am EST

What bothers me are the number of ad hominem attacks that dismiss her by calling her a whore. What is this, a baptist convention? I wonder when the last time you ever heard anyone say, fuck Robert Plant, he’s a whore. What it really comes down to is a lot of men hate, loathe, despise women who 1) have sex 2)project sexuality 3)are unapologetic about their sexuality. I’ll agree that sexuality as a commodity is a boring and overused device in pop music, but I never heard anyone calling 50 Cent a whore when Candy Shop came out. Many people rightly attacked that song for being a noisome turd, but male artists will never hear accusations of whore when the tiresomely use sexuality to sell records.

Secondly, I loathe pop music, I’m more likely to be listening to Shostakovich, Scriabin, John Coltrane, Sigur Ros, Radiohead, Minor Threat, Bjork, The Clash, anything with complexity, depth or raw emotion, and thus I have always loathed the vast panoply of self-important pop divas ridiculously renaming themselves Diddy, Sasha Fierce, Mimi etc. But there is something different about Lady Gaga, I cannot tell you what it is, but she has that, well, je ne sais quoi.

Leavley: “People need to know there can be a huge difference between “very talented” and “musical genius”. She is the former.”

Exactly, she is no genius, but she is very talented. I would not buy her CD but I would go see her in concert. I actually think her music sounds stale on CD, but like many people, Saturday Night Live showed me a glimmer of something, like damn, this girl could really be something a lot more than she is, and you know, maybe in a few years she will be. Madonna and her ilk were always entertainers pretending to be musicians, Lady Gaga is a musician who has chosen to be an entertainer. But compare Please Please me to Abbey Road, in 6 years they were a different band and had traveled a universe of music. I’m not saying Gaga will do this, but you never know.

And for all of the insecure, male misogynists, stop watching so much porn, stop the Madonna/Whore shit, stop thinking that sex damages or devalues women. Do you really want to be the “American Taliban?”

BT | 11/15/2009, 12:33 pm EST

I really don’t see how you can’t call her an artist. Other musicians are called artists, and if she’s up on stage, that’s a performing artist. Not to mention the way she puts outfits together. It’s not fashion, it’s art that she wears.

Of course her music might be forgotten later on, but most pop music is. Also, what’s the world’s definition of “slut”? I think being a slut requires actually sleeping around, not just wearing extremely revealing clothing. I also don’t see why people think she’s ugly.
Oh well, if you hate her, you hate her. But no matter how much you hate her, she’s still successful at the end of the day.

love it, un video brillante!

What a very untalented man in womens’ clothing.

Sarah | 11/16/2009, 4:47 pm EST

Sry but you are clueless about this subject.

For Britney, Beyonce, Rhianna | 11/17/2009, 3:49 pm EST

Well, the only thing that she has made ABUNDANTLY clear, is that BRITNEY, BEYONCE, RHIANNA, you ALL need to HIRE ASAP 15 art students to be on your 24/7 payroll to travel with you all over. Make sure they are into theater and were preferably goths/outcasts in high school. You know the pretentious people who think they are sooo avante garde. Apparently people are eating this stuff up by the truck loads. Your music is better. Come on! Time to cash in!!! It’s the future. It’s the FUTURrrrrrE of pop!!!

Bic | 11/18/2009, 1:02 am EST

It sound like computer track. And ofcourse she had to put all that glitter because she doesnt look pretty and her face & legs are like a squirrel. She gets attention but for catcy computer beat..thats all I like .

Pamela Marie | 11/18/2009, 12:12 pm EST

She is not successful. Money is not the only measure of success. She has no integrity or morals. She shows she’s immodest and lacks purity, .Being an example for kids, she needs to embrace virtues and not men or women. My 9 and 11 yr old pray for her because she is so lost. Her soul and eyes show sadness and sorrow, a lost soul that satan has a hold of.

futura | 11/19/2009, 1:18 am EST

i beg to disagree that lady gaga is a lost soul, but she is an aggressive soul. she loves to explore unto different things and see what it can give her as well as what it can give to the public..

She may not please everyone with what’s on her showcase but i really think that she give the world of fashion and music of something where both can complement each other..

kendra | 11/19/2009, 2:35 pm EST

It blew me away. The song is great. Her slithering up to him on all fours with that body of hers is utterly sexy. It’s a home run for me. What a talent!

bianca | 11/19/2009, 7:31 pm EST

Shes amazing, you all need to shut your mouths.
Use all hate her becouse she is different.
Lady Gaga, I love you.
KEEP IT UP!

eric | 11/19/2009, 8:14 pm EST

Lady Gaga is a breath of fresh air in a business that has gotten stale over the years…

“My 9 and 11 yr old pray for her because she is so lost. Her soul and eyes show sadness and sorrow, a lost soul that satan has a hold of.”

Really?!?!? How is she lost? How do her eyes show sadness? That’s probably the stupidest thing I’ve heard all day.

FranzisW | 11/21/2009, 10:03 pm EST

i watched the video a 100 times now and i still cant breathe. this is more than just another pop video of this era. it’s pure art. i’m so happy to see this… it really combines almost everything that meant something to popular culture: kubrick, bowie, rammstein, madonna, fritz lang, m. jackson, queen, warhol, hicthcock, james bond… i could go on for hours!

J | 11/23/2009, 12:28 am EST

Gaga is all smoke and mirrors. It is very different to have talent. Doing weird things isn’t construed as talent! As a person who has played piano for over 13 years, at the AMA’s she made the mistake to taking her hand off the keys at the time when cords were played that require both hands hitting the keys firmly. Then, her fingers were positioned for cords when single notes were actually being played. It is sad to see that today, the lack of true musical talent, judged by folk who have no musical training has allowed folk to consider trickery as talent!!!! Too bad it is easy to part people with their money for crap that will never be historical. Talented people are overlooked, when it is cheaper and easier to sell buffoonery at a lower price, allowing the music executives to make higher profits, in lieu of paying talented entertainers who have the potential for sustain a 20+ year career, instead of a 20month one.

As Jay Z sang, “death to auto-tune” and the AMA’s presented more auto-tuners and synthesized voices than real talent. Whitney Houston, Mary J., Kelly Clarkson, Kerry Underwood and Adam Lambert were the only “singers” on the show!!!!!!

I have no idea who bought all this Taylor Swift music when I can’t even understand what it is she is saying with her non-melodical mousey voice.

lol | 11/23/2009, 7:13 am EST

okay people lets all see you show some skin and get on stage and perform with some techno music and see how far you get. Lady gaga even has a hideous nose – but that isn’t stopping her. So if she isn’t talented then why cant any other brown haired chick bleach her hair blonde, wear skimmpy little fashion outfits, dance around on stage, and not get famous? There’s obviously something there she has that no-one else has, and if you can’t realize that and accept it then you – yourself – are immature and oblivious to music. All you guys claim to know music so well, but a true lover of music looks at all genres and accepts everything. It may not be there taste, but instead out of hatred for another artist, they just simply agree in defeat. Some people are better than others at singing, performing, marketing, etc. Lady gaga has all of these and puts a very unique twist that world HAS NOT SEEN YET, this is why she SELLS. She is a inspiration for young kids to be themselves, with the outrageous outfits she wears, and inspires NEW musicians to come to play music AS THEY WANT, not what a record label wants.

Step away from your ego and look at things from a different perspective, admit in defeat. Yes lady gaga has accomplished what most musicians have done in 10 years cause she had so many hits on one album. Her new album has not even come out yet and there’s already one hit! So obliviously she’s not going to produce what she thinks is crap music on her newest to come album. Come on now, don’t play with fire if you cant take being burned.

lol | 11/23/2009, 7:28 am EST

Another thing i have to add everyone is saying “she trys too hard”. If you look at her outfits before she got famous – there outrageous too. Maybe she isn’t trying hard, she’s just dressing the way she likes, and now she has more money to afford the bigger better more outrageous dresses. All in a concept to be herself – So what is she trying so hard to be? I think your all delusional, perhaps she just likes to be a whore and dress up like that. People have different tastes than each other, what you may not like to do someone else might. Does not mean they are trying HARD to be what they aren’t. Lady gaga’s always been weird – does not seem like shes trying hard to be anything to me.

lol @ someone said shes trying to get as much as she can out of her 15 minutes of fame, well 15 minutes of fame usually does not last 2+ years.

everyones so butthurt over lady gaga, shes successful instead of pitying it be proud of her. Everyone wants to be successful in life, get over how sucky your life is and stop dreading on others who actually succeed
