bu. Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I prefer the song now than when I did when I first heard it. I'm still underwhelmed but image wise I like she's not doing the wacky outfits and has toned it down..........just a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquaria Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 'You and I' did that for me. I think that's the perfect 'Gaga' video. She wasn't doing to much in the video and it was still interesting, twisted and puzzling. Yes, that video had so much going on, and could have looked ridiculous but was done so well with such a tight and consistent aesthetic. Also this seems like a step down for Inez and Vinoodh, given their photography and the fashion films they have directed. It's memorable though, which in this day and age is an accomplishment in itself. I don't really have any expectations for her performance now either lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bu. Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 @Brian_Bee7m Gaga took a page from Janet's book, eat what you want between albums but get ya body 2 and gether before the release of the next! @Brian_Bee6m Janet was the queen off that shit. Once Janet finished promoting an album that bitch was like, WHERE THE FOOD AT?!?! Janhova still inspiring 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope 'Artdonna' doesn't release her 'secret project' and steals Artgaga shine. That would be a pop tragedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illi Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I like it. Nothing groundbreaking but it's sells the song well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 It's a cool video. Much like the song itself - typical gaga, nothing new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquaria Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'm growing to like the video more and more. My analysis is that it's a peak into Gaga's psyche as an artist and performer, like "The Cell" meets "Monkeybone" and "Corpse Bride." Amidst all of the garish characters Gaga becomes, you see "Stefani" alone on a mattress. In this psychotic world we are pulled into, we realize the voices and visions were always in Stefani's head, even when she was dancing alone and unknown. Gaga as the clown is Stefani as the professional performer. A canvas for all of her wildest hallucinations to dance across in the public eye. It is a bit nightmarish while also having moments of surrealism and beauty. This is "The Fame." The void and hunger Gaga needs to satisfy. But in the end, Gaga is only dancing for herself and the shadows in her mind. Notice her strutting down the runway as if she is greeting the eyes of a thousand spectators, and clapping along to the words in a dreamlike daze, like she hears the applause in her own head. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kishi Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 She is so STRANGE! Where does she get these ideas from? I like the video, especially the choreography (to be expected, her routines are always great). I think because I get and understand Gaga, I like the song and video. But I completely understand if people are confused or turned off from her. Only time will tell how this song fairs and connects with the public.

Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 The song won't connect with the public. It's not for the public.. It's for Gaga's cult... Monsters University or something or whatever The song cuts out a portion of the general public... I hope the album doesn't do that... Bc that's a flop waiting to happen.

jarrylf Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I've not given my opinion on neither yet, and here it is, I like the song, and I like the video, she didn't really let me DOWNNNN she just kinda kept me lol, She didn't raise my love or lower it. Songwise Im not here for the verses yet the chours SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYS Video wise, ...you all pretty much said what I thought, like it just looks like she threw a bunch of ideas on the story board, like it didn't have a cohesive theme to it which is new for her. I can't/won't try to predict what this song will do chartwise or anything but as far as in general, Im pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
