have you guys noticed the wierd guy that pops up at 0:17?

everybody has pretty much picked up on it now

Ooh scary!

This song was the fear of love monster right? (If i remember rightly) could be on the theme of that.

Is the remix used in the teaser going to be in the video?

does look like a scary monster.

all this hate is getting annoying really!! i mean i did get territorial when Gaga fans were criticising Christina's new video and musical direction as i prefer Aguilera to Gaga (well i was raised with her music!!) but they both directly pay tribute to Madonna which is fabulous!! and in different ways.
Christina was the empowerment and the sexuality, Gaga it looks like its the artistic perspective as well as sensuality which is nice.

while Madonna will ALWAYS be Queen! i love Christina and her Bionic album is going to be amazing! and Gaga is very likeable i just dont like the overhype about her realy when she is doing what has been done before and better in her video's and tours etc.etc. but Alejandro was a favourite on the album when i first heard it and she deserves her recognition for sure! i just want something newer and more exciting from her in the future really.

Looks fantastic, Gaga never fails to disappoint.

All the people saying Gaga copied Madonna.... um, I adore Gaga but I despise Madonna. How does that work then?

It also appears near the beginning of the vid too. Gotta be quick in pausing though because it harder to spot. Someone was talking about the illuminati thing and how a similar thing appears in Shakira's 'Hips Don't Lie' vid at 1:14 and onwards

It's a mummy. I never noticed it before. I don't believe in any of illuminati stuff but it is funny lol.

lack of taste perhaps

I don't like Madonna either. She can't really sing, and I've never got the whole thing about her being this great feminist icon.

maybe you should pay some attention then!!!
i mean it's like saying Elvis is irrelevant,The Beatles were boring and Justin Beiber is a legend....rediculous statements!!!!

Madonna is a revolutionary woman and just so EPIC! her videos, albums and material is just so powerful and her voice is fantastic!! her lyrics her imagery her everything is just so innovative and she literally paved the way and is still at the tp of her game!!

you NEED to get to know Madonna, she makes the world go round for me, more so than Michael Jackson did for me actually. her songs have got me through a lot, she is a fantastic woman and just so cool about everything and such a genuine person. i love Madonna and she has a strong and large fanbase of millions across the globe.
if you don't get her then you need to, she's a fantastic lady. i'd love to meet her in person, hug her and say thank you!:')

It's not like saying that at all. It's my opinion anyway. It's great that you've connected with her music so much, but I never have.

well thats fair enough i suppose i respect that

I think this gaga vs christina vs madonna war is stupid, there are criticisms and comparisons and there is just being downright offensive and rude (calling all fans of a certain artist crazy and non fans lacking in taste etc etc). There is no need for it, people are entitled to their opinions, but there is no need to get so nasty and offensive.

Can we not have dicussions about these three artists anywhere without it turning into a slanging match?

Problem being that you have a global influx of Gaga fans , and large amounts of popular press criticising Christina for paying homage to Madonna in a video.

Yet this happens and suddenly Gaga fans are saying now that actually Christinas homage was ok and now everyone must respect both Chrisina and Gaga's tributes to Madge.

I don't like the look of it I am sad to say. Dare I say it looks kinda dull

Looks awesome, can't wait for the whole thing.

Next monday its dues isn't it?

So rich coming from you! One of many Christina fans who had some really nasty words about Gaga at times when no one had said anything against Xtina! There were both Gaga and Xtina fans (including yourself) who were creating vs battles!

I've seen very few Gaga fans compare the NMT video to Madonna, a lot of critics and other haters are but it's very unfair to pin everything on Gaga fans 24/7 as most people seem to do.

Jesus come on!! it was all a minority of Gaga fans. They trolled Youtube and other forums as well as Twitter like there was no tomorrow!

Madonna wasn't mentioned by anyone other than Christina fans who seemed to know from the off it was a hommage due to how close they both are.

Ignoring the actual video for a second, the song itself feels like a blatant Madonna rehash from the late 80's. As soon as I heard Alejandro, I thought..."huh, is Madonna from 1987 back". GaGa is blatantly trying to do her version of Madge's La Isla Bonita.

Christina may have admitted to paying homage to Madonna with the NMT video, but at least her song didn't feel like a remixed Madonna tune. Gaga is really coming across as a tribute act. The song and the video. By doing a Madonna video, she also draws attention to the song itself feeling like a Madonna hand-me-down from the 80's. Gaga wants to be Madonna so bad it hurts.

The good thing, is that for once GaGa is actually catching some real flack for her blantant lack of originality. I don't think that hypocrite Perez Hilton will say a thing, but that's to be expected.

Britney was the first big pop sensation of this new generation, followed by Christina Aguilera then Justin Timberlake.

I find it ridiculous that ANYBODY can call Christina a Lady Gaga copycat, because IMO Lady Gaga is the most unoriginal artist I've ever seen...

Never have I seen an artist try so hard to put forward this superficial image. Don't get me wrong, I like Gagas music (can't stand her) but her sound is a total Britney rip off (Britney circa 2007, even as far back as 2004 "Toxic"), her look is a Grace Jones, Roisin Murphy rip off and she tries her best be have a controversial personality like Madonna. My baby toe is more original. And it pisses me off that people think shes original and this is her look and sound and blah blah blah...

Basically at the end of the day, no pop music today is original anymore and everyone is doing the same things.

And I'm not a massive Christina fan either but I much prefer Bionic over The Fame Monster.

Then clearly Gaga's made Unoriginal orginal then...

May have already been mentioned before, but i went to watch her last night in manchester and she reckons the full video will be out in about 4 or 5 days (she wasn't sure which lol)

That's interesting considering it sounds nothing like La Isla Bonita and is inspired by Ace of Bass who said they loved her and thought the song was fantastic! And we have seen 19 SECONDS which means we havent seen the whole video and so we have no idea what it will look like as a whole! Madonna didnt invent black and white filming either and there are vast differences with the use of the star of David, the military feel and the uniformity with the bowl haircuts! She might be inspired by Madonna for the video but we dont know until we've seen it in full!

And she really isnt catching some real flack, there has been the opposite! Every time I turn on the radio, they are talking about her tour and how everyone was amazed by it! Her popularity rating has shot up even more since her arrival in Britain (and that's official statistics)! Why are you hating when we haven't even seen the video!

Agreed. Clutching at straws from the Xtina fans to try and criticise Gaga. The song is blatantly inspired by Ace Of Base (most obviously Don't Turn Around.) It really is nothing like La Isla Bonita sonically, the Spanish element is the only similar aspect.

Xtina fans?

Like who? one poster said it. Don't tar all of them with the same brush especially after your outrage last week over people's comments on Leona fans..

I wouldn't have risen to it. A blatent attempt yet again from a Leona fan to provoke the Christina fans.
