Also, I've been doing my homework and managed to dig up an extremely exclusive bit of juice from inside the Haus of GaGa itself. Mind you, after this it'll be all over the net.

Extracted from an interview with the 'Alejandro' promotional video clip director, Steven Klein and the Head of Artistic Directories for the Haus of GaGa, Patric Lawrence.

The in the teaser is described: "This is the moment when GaGa first experiences the draining of color and life. She is left feeling naked, cold, empty, drained of vitality and love. She didn't know that leaving this guy, [Alejandro] would make him such a monster."

So it seems, not all the video will be black and white and will ee GaGa dressed as we see her in the clip, with an austiere blond bob-wig. Strange, because when the still image was released, we saw that at least SOME of the video had to be in colour, and that still image doesn't appear to rip-off any Madonna video. In fact, you could argue that it borrows influences from the Sugababes' - 'No Can Do' video with the addition of mullet haircuts.

Also, whilst I am aware the 19 second teaser video does borrow from Madonna's 'Vogue' very heavily, this link may also be of interest:

I actually went through fuck knows how many archives toactually find that copy of Vogue. It uses the very same images posted in that video. Unfortunately, the guy who put the video together didn't do a great job, because it looks like he's just a fan who once read that copy of Vogue and saw all the arguments and jumped at the chance of protecting GaGa, who, let's face, does look like she's about to say "Strike a pose" any minute now.

I would like to once again state I am not a GaGa fan. It's just these arguments are getting rediculi (yes, that's plural) now.

So there, no Illuminati; the enitre 7-minute video won't be a complete rip-off of 'Vogue'; there is some artistic design going on; and some mullets.

Emjoy, and let the rumours fly off the handle.
