Say what you will about her music - but you cannot dispute the director is genius.....you take inspiration from everything the LaChappelle thing was ridiculous! Gaga's entire persona is Madonna based, but I don't see any lawsuits pending. Some of you need to do your research like the one person's comment it's drawing from A Clockwork Orange. Love in a Hopeless place was also inspired by many films the director is familiar with. Her videos actually help me get through her music as I find it to be mediocre at best.
