I think it's alright, not as good as Telephone though. Although that might just be because I prefer the song Telephone to Alejandro.
I'm the same, I had Alejandro before the album came out for a few weeks, instantly shoved it on a CD for the car, was the first song that came on every time I started the engine so after a couple of months I had to stop listening to it. I don't get the summery vibe from it at all though, maybe because I listened to it so much during winter, but it was voted MTV song of the Summer I think and I just don't feel summery when I listen to it at all!

Plus Telephone has Beyoncé on it which instantly puts it ahead of Alejandro for me lol.

yeah they even accused leona lewis of copying lady gaga when she was at a fancy dress party! lol
Lmao and christinas not myself tonight video they said:

"christina copying gaga's sunglasses!!!!" (lmao!!! SUNGLASSES THAT ANYONE CAN WEAR)
and
"she's copying madonna!! (even though christina said it was a homage)

After saying all that suddenly it's ok for Gaga to pay homage even though gaga fans ripped the piss out of Christina for doing it!

Hypocrisy. Shameful thing

madonna made it her trademark.
And....? Why is no one saying she's copying Elton John then, in her love of costume?

Comparisons are ridiculous.

and now XTina fans are saying

"Religion!" (lmao, RELIGION THAT ANYBODY CAN BELIEVE IN)

If you hate this video so much then why do you keep coming back?

Pathetic.

Lady GaGa is quite an attractive woman in real life but why make her self look so ugly.

This video is good but I can't see it being a must see. I think she should cool down on the long videoes now.

The Video is just too detailed and full of sex. I think a video of her on the beach meeting all of her past lovers would have been great.
I agree Before Lady Gaga was famous she was quite pretty.

How exactly?! Seriously! I love Madonna but she wasnt the first at all! She was the most famous, and hugely successful person to do these things (with religion and sex) but there were plenty of artists who did it first! And also in this video, I literally see a handful of nods to Madonna but no rip off at all!
So who did it all before Madonna then given she was and still is regarded as the first woman of the music video.

but you dont do it constantly the way gaga is
What parts of Just Dance, Poker Face, Papparazzi, Lovegame and Bad Romance are Madonna copies? She had a similar look for about 1/10th of Telephone and has a couple of homages in Alejandro. Probably about equal to one full video dressed up as Marilyn no?

I just don't see how being inspired by someone so influential as Madonna is seen as a bad thing. You can't really say Lady Gaga is a carbon copy of Madonna, she's taken some of Madonnas better qualities and combined them with her own, shes not coming out single after single looking like and sounding like Madonna is she.

At this point in time, Yes she is.

Like I've said before.. I don't see why people keep coming back to post the same negative thing in different words.

I expected GenieInABottle to come in here and start hating, I'll post my review of the video when I finally take it all in.
Oh grow up. I have praised her loads on here. You're just having a go because you know what I said is the truth.

Seems a bit pointless. I wish I could have a discussion about Gaga without people trying to make me feel stupid for liking her, it's getting ridiculous.

She's bought decent pop music back to the masses, and that's what I am grateful for. I'm a rock girl really, and I never thought I'd get back into pop again tbh, once I left my early teens, but Gaga's made me appreciate it again.

Im a gaga fan but that video was just sooo boring and did nothing to already help what is a weak song.

I mean her diehard fans will have orgasms over watching it because they give in to the hype etc

but like it was soo dull and boring... doubt ill even watch it when it comes on the music channels.

I like the song, not so keen on the video.

Damn....the GaGa, Xtina and Madonna fans are at each others throat in this thread.

There is paying homage by taking an idea of someone elses and updating/expanding on it to fit into your own ideas, such as the cone bra of Madonnas which clearly inspired the gun bra which fit the military theme. Then there is dressing up as the Express Yourself video and recreating the cheapest parts of it which don't really make sense at all with the mish-mash of random scenes cobbled together into a video.

Catholic Girl rebels against religion by sexing up a nun is something madonna would perhaps do, in fact I don't doubt that she would if it fit with her video or song, but again Gaga doing it isn't an exact copy of a scene from a Madonna video is it.

Unfortunately Christina's video had a poor director or a poor person coming up with the concept that left her open to attack. We all know she's better than copying Madonna so blatantly, I don't doubt she has the ability to properly pay homage, better than the way she did, she's had some awesome videos in the past, Dirrty, Hurt, Fighter, Can't Hold Us Down, Come on Over, Candyman etc have all been great videos, some clearly inspired by other eras and other artists but never blatant copies, NMT was lazy, end of. She's better than that, she's shown it in the past, personally I can't deny that NMT just has too much that is more than paying homage and is more just copying Madonna.

Yet again, we get the lovely generalisations, and presumptions that gaga fans are dupes.

I know, I'm sick of all the music snobbery on here, I feel like some people think I'm stupid just because I'm a big Gaga fan, but I can assure them I'm definitely not.

It's so annoying cos I love all 3, I have almost every Madonna Album, all Xtinas single up until B2B along with albums and everything Gaga has ever released, but can't stop myself getting involved lol.

I've only seen the video once and really don't know what to think.

I think it's fine that Lady Gaga is paying homage to Madonna in this video, but I hope she doesn't in her next video.

All you're saying here is that Gaga is cleverer at hiding the fact she copies Madonna than Christina is.

So at least you admit she is a big copycat.

Yea, but because she has such a large fan base, apparently we are all 'sheep'
