Pop phenom Lady GaGa has just released the highly anticpated video for her latest single ‘Bad Romance’. The clip was directed by the acclaimed Francis Lawrence. ‘Bad Romance’ has so far peaked at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and stands as the first official single from her new album, ‘The Fame Monster’.
This is not a music video; this is art! Everything about the costume designs and the editing was on point. Add those elements to the well-placed choreography and you’ve got a hit in every sense of the word. I think this even rivals her clip for ‘Paparazzi’, which to date I considered to be the best video of the year. I didn’t even like the song but now that I have seen this, I can’t get it out of my head. Great work!
Tidbit: Did anyone else notice the bear rug dress she was wearing? FIERCE!
I have to agree. Amazing video. Can’t get it out of my head. She looks terrifying in some of these shots. Especially that Amy WInehouse makeup at the end….
Everything about this video is what sets Gaga a mile ahead of many of her contemporaries. The artistic element behind this is ridiculous, the wardrobe, the design, the makeup, etc. – AND not to forget the infamous Alexander McQueen shoes. Amazing work. Video anthology material. 🙂
Loved it!
trent this is y u should never ever dare put gaga and rihanna in the same sentence again..how dare you insult her the last time by saying she relies on gimmick like rihanna….gaga is mad talented..i love how she fused music and fashion together in an artistic way unlike the other thing that just prances around grabs her crotch in all her vids..love GAGA and by the way most of the fashion you see in here is by alexander mcqueen..yes gaga is taking the music and fashion world to the next level..gotta love her…
best vids of the year are ICTY and bad romance..i am waiting on video phone now with beyonce..i hope she has upped her budget from the other disasters she as been putting out..you bey likes to be cheap sometimes..lol
Illuminati symbolism at it’s finest. I’m not a fan and will not support such crap.
NEXT
If this video is enough to b**** slap Single Ladies in the face, one can only imagine what it would do to Rihanna’s upcoming material. Anything lesser than this, in my opinion, is just whack. It baffles me that a lot of the artists nowadays don’t go the extra mile or even try to think out of the box to create a product that is worthy. I mentioned this on youtube, and I’ll mention it again. Beyonce’s Video Phone better be the great epicness or the delay and hype would just go to waste and everything would be disppointing. That aside…
This is the best video thus far. It needs to win Video of the Year awards next year or else I might just start having fits and twitch uncontrollably like GaGa. The concept, the fashion and even the song shape a piece of art that is beyond description. A little crazy on the product placement, but still, the video was perfection head to toe. It packs in emotion, meaning, choreography, plot, special effects and so much more into five minutes. I think it’s safe to say, Christmas came early this year and GaGa was more than generous to treat us to all that she’s capable of.
I’m really speechless and spell-bound. And I can’t stop looping the Alexander McQueen and polar bear scenes. That’s what you call vogue and class. I don’t think I can sleep now!
GAGA is so damn wierd!! i’m not a big fan of this song, still waitin’ to see her and beyonce’s video.
Incredible. Rihanna needs to take notes. This a great example of a sort of lackluster yet visually stunning concept. Oh, Gaga. The b**** is wild and I love her for it.
PS:I’m curious about the “Video Phone” vid too. Beyonce acts like she’s a new artist with no budget!
and yes lovinman i totally agree
Song sounds a lot like” Poker Face” but, other than that, this is very creative video. The reason why so many people latched on to Lady GaGa is because of the fact that she is very creative.
just awesome!!!!!!!!!
very good!
saw this hours ago on perezhilton.com but thanks
That was fire !!! I know these other pop girls are SICK cuz Gaga keeps settin the bar higher and higher as to what we as music fans are coming to expect again .. ORIGINALITY.. her concepts may be a bit out there… but.. they damn sure entertain you…all you other pop singers come correct or fall back boo !!
SAM= GAY TRINIDADIAN
What dude says fierce?
Your gay ass worships Lady Gaga. Any dude that likes lady gaga is a f***** f**.
What the f*** is this?
The song is just Poker Face remix with a somewhat edgy video.
I can’t believe this kind of lazy songwriting and production is selling like it is…
How sad.
perfection!!!!
^^ Nicky, it’s almost 2010.. take your homophobic ass and go hide under the rock that your homophobic ancestors are no longer able to contain us with! Your face & mom are both f***, build a bridge & deal with it bro.
SAM! I totally agree….. ART!
@NICKY! you homophobic stereotypical d*****! I don’t know sam but his sexuality OR the semantics he uses to describe things doesn’t mean or change anything! This is a good blog!
Anyway this video is art in motion! as for this Illuminati talk… i dunno BUT surely we have the choice as viewers and listeners to not take what a popstar says or does and join this”secret cult” … Like the song and the video ALOT but it doesn’t change my perspective on life!
jelani i so agree with u – she is so far ahead of the game its not even funny – when i first heard of this lady i was like what the hell is a gaga – her first two singles were good radio hits but when i saw her in person im like wat the fukk but in all honestly the more i really look at her and listen to her music i relize just how much of a cultural impact she is AND WILL make on this fickle industry – this girl really does watever the hell she wants whenver the hell she wants and its like shes not even caring what people will think – kinda like shes watching herself perform and everyone else is just now tuning in and catchin on to what she has probably been doing all her life – even out of the public eye – but getting back to the video its fukking genius – true art at its finest at her swag is at a level where it really shouldnt be shutting alotta of ppl down who has been in the game for way longer that her. shes made her own lane kind of (she enery does still remind me of ealrly madonna) and if she keeps up this level of artisty and creativity she will definelty become a legend and icon among the likes of the aformentioned – new age icons – britney christina beyonce even rihanna AND IN TRUE FASHION I LOVE MS KELLY AND SHE HAS SOME WAYS TO GO BUT SHE WILL DEF CLAIM HER SPOT AT THE TOP AS WELL – ms gaga is just……..TIMELESS!!! SHE’S GAINED A NEW FAN!!! (submits comment….scrolls back up the video …presses play …smiles as he watches art in motion………PRICELESS!!!!!)
^Well said Ali.. We may have recently lost the King of Pop, but here shows proof of an ICON in the making!
when i first heard lets dance i honestlythought it was Christina Aguilera and thought she was tryingtosnatch her crown,but she is now so far ahead no is like her in the industry.
i wonder if the video phone video got canned cause it didnt measure up to this video or they r doin some extra editing,well it better be damn good cause this video is hawt
This video is just tooooo much. It is hands down the best video I’ve ever seen. Bible, it even made me a little scared. The best part of a music video is when a music video has “moments” and Bad Romance is filled with them from GaGa giving hentai in the bathtub, choerography where she’s wearing all white with the blonde locks flowing, to the climax of the video where the fire begins and she’s dancing in red. I just cant. Brain overload! January 20th, Radio City Music Hall, Monster Tour, I’m there!
I dislike her, but this video is great, but its not art its just different
This the 2nd video she killed a man lol.
Lady GaGa is my s*** and im a huge fan but really you all sound a damn mess.
shut the hell up,Its just a music video.
Really though you guys are runnin back and forth like oooh I can’t sleep nd this and that and that and this and im like really?
Like OB from above.
Just stop.
Grow the hell up you lames.
The vid is great and actually stands far apart from many vids these days but to overhype it onto something that the world has to see is juss not necessary.
I gotta tell you, I’m usually not into rivalry’s or showdowns. But, I’m looking forward to The Fame Monster vs. Rated R. I think Gaga may pull out the number one position on the Billboard Charts.
this is her best video yet and probably one of the best videos ever. this needs to go to number one and win video of the year
I love the ending when she is on the bed with her man burned to a crisp. I don’t know if I can understand this video but to me its about a romance between two people are having the most off the wall s**.
This video is just crazy and I love all of the glam and the glitter. I like the shot where her eyes are huge. I know during love making your pupils become dialated and I also love the bear skin dress which represents the animalistic side of all of us.
Maybe I am reading too far into it. But at the end of the day..this is my s***.
I love Lady Gaga but truth be told this does sound like poker face. Its basically the same:
Poker Face vs. Fame Monster
“can’t read my no he can’t read my poker face”= “I want love and I want your revenge”
“I want to hold em like they do in texas…”=I want your horror I want your disease”
“I won’t tell you that I love you kiss..” = “I want your love and I want your revenge”
I read this article that said that if you take a song and change the lyrics but keep the basic melody people will always listen. Thats what she basically did. I LOOOOOOOOVE lady gaga but I’m just saying….
NO CHANCE IN HELL will lady gaga outsell Rihanna!!!! are you dumb!?????
why?
LADY GAGA’S ALBUM IS A RE-RELEASE.
TAYLOR SWIFT IS THE BIGGEST ARTIST OF THIS YEAR, WITH OVER 4 MILLION SOLD AND HER RE RELEASE HAS SOLD 100K.
NO CHANCE IN HELL WILL LADY GAGA OUTSELL THAT OR RIHANNAS DEBUT WEEK.
YOU HAVE TO BE AN IDIOT TO THINK THAT.
Gaga is the epitome of FIERCE!
@NIKCY why dont you just f*** off this face of the earth. lady gaga has originality and how DARE you say if you follow her you are gay, thats just blasthomy. you are a stupid ignorant c*** and you know it. its 2009 and you dont have to be gay to like over the top fashion and pure genius at its best. go die you homophobic ignorant person 😀
I’ve been to so many blogs and people all fell in love with the video. I’m shocked! How can people like such things? I mean ok, it’s artistic…bla bla bla…but it’s more ugly, dark than anything.
I’m probably the one who don”t like it. Don’t know what this world is coming to….
@nicky actually gaga decided to cut the re-release crap and to release the 8tracks as a stand alone album! and I pray to god she will sellout rihanna !
IS THERE GOING TO BE ANYTHING LEFT?!!!! THIS B**** IS EATING EVERY ARTIST ALIVE VISUALLY RIGHT NOW. WHO THE F*** IS HER DIRECTOR AND WHERE DID SHE FIND HIM OR HER. THIS B**** GAVE YOU LIKE 7 VIDEOS IN ONE. AND ALL OF THEM WOULD HAVE MADE A HOT ASS VIDEO. I HATE THE DAMN SONG, BUT SEEING THE VIDEO MADE ME THINK AHBOUT GIVING IT A SECOND LISTEN.
I LOVE IT…
that polar bear coat was absolutely incredible.
and the end made me giggle.
hehe
Not feeling the song at all
BUT
She defo brings it creatively in this Video.
The ending had me cracking up
She’s a relevant artist that’s made her way up!!
Not my cup of tea in general but i like some of her tracks so i give her props..
this is rediculous. you guys are talking as if she cured cancer. It’s a 5min video. People grow up. We’re not 5 anymore. It was a good video but you losers worship this girl. Thank you but no thank you.
Nixon,
You’re obviously going through something in your life that is really weighing you down so I’m going to leave you alone. For future references, when it comes to criticism over opinion, you should look at your avatar from your first post above and do just that, STFU~ **smooches**
^^ No, OB, Nixon is right! Some of you morons are acting like this f****** video is the second coming of Christ, for god sake! It’s a good video (even I have to admit that, hating this chick/dude the way I do), but some of you are just taking it to a level that’s just plain irrational, and need to stop. You can definitely pick apart who’s a typical fan, versus somebody who would eat this b****’s S*** if they had the chance, and it’s sickening. I thought Beyonka’s fans were bad, but they clearly don’t compare to the stannism that’s going on in this topic regarding this video. Yuck!
And no, Gaga will NOT outsell Rihanna. Do you people really think that’s gonna happen, with everything that’s happened these past nine months?? MY GOD are some of you ever so delusional, lmao…
LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Serious fya!
Well… It was nice…
I mean… some of it… 🙂
AWOLLUVA,
STFU! I love the video and I expressed it. Dont knock me because I love it. Seek help or advice too because you’re another one who seems to be going through something..
She is a f****** SLU.
As of today, Still EPIC and a CLASSIC.
