New Lady Gaga video for Alejandro (its another long one)
Figured there are enough fans here (and since arguably this is one of the few artists that people are actually kind of hyped to see a new video from. This one is 8:43 seconds, and will prob get more controversy.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of the madonna fans lose their shit, cause there's a point toward the end that almost channels the 'papa don't preach video, well theres that, and she kind of sports the famous cone bra

Not as fun as the previous video but still pretty good to me. I didn't like the song at first but it grew on my by the end of the video.
The beginning reminded me of Julie Taymor's intro to the film "Titus".

The song sucks, but it wasn't a bad video. Overproduced as usual, but some good dancing and intriguing visuals. If I could discern any actual meaning from it, or even got the hint there was any substance behind it, then it could quite powerful. The routine with her just in underwear/bikini was kind of refreshing for a change.
Those dancers sure did look like a bunch of mo's .... you know, with the bowl cuts and all.

Re: New Lady Gaga video for Alejandro (its another long one)
Hmm.. that's actually my favorite song from the album. Here's what the video reminds me of:

Re: New Lady Gaga video for Alejandro (its another long one)
Something about this reminded me of late 80's-early 90's style of music videos.
German-eqse visuals are awesome, but they don't seem to fit the song's Spanish tone. Anyways I enjoyed this as I always enjoy seeing Lady GaGa naked.

I'm glad she's doing these longer video. They are more interesting to watch than the short videos. Good video but I prefer Telephone over it. Alejandro is really catchy though.

Always thought this song was filler and I just don't see any reason for dance routines in this video as the beat isn't conducive to dance routines. I do love that she's continuing to do interesting videos and hope she continues but even with a lot of half naked guys, this one doesn't even merit a re-watch.

I like Telephone better as its my favorite but this one is great too. I love her videos.
Here's hoping the next is for So Happy I Could Die, it's my favorite song on the new CD.

Boring is the best adjective I could to describe the video.
I also think Alejandro should've never been a single as I thought it was the weakest song on the album, but what do I know?

This song reminds me of Madonna's "La Isla Bonita" crossed with Ace of Base's "Don't Turn Around".
I give her credit... she's one of the few popular artists left who puts effort in her music videos. Ever since MTV moved away from showing videos the medium has seemed less important, although with Youtube it might be shifting back.

Her Bad Romance video is the top watched video on youtube. Over 217 MILLION views.
And this video has an ad for Caress body soap before it on youtube.
The point? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
THe video is fine, it's the song that's crazy repetitive and rather boring
