Jesus. H. Christ. I wish I could just throw this video up with a “no comment.” Because… I just watched the first 60 seconds of Lady Gaga’s music video, and all I’ve got is… um… “So, Gaga dropped five sugarcubes of acid and watched A Clockwork Orange and 2001: A Space Odyssey for, like, 24 hours straight, and this is what happened.” The actual music starts around the 2:45 mark, but you’ll want to watch everything before that, just to tell your kids that “Yes, I too knew of The Gaga.”
All of the little mutant baby Gagas! OH NOES!!!
I mean, at what point are we just going to say, “Bitch is coked out of her mind”? Devil horns? Bangs trauma? Goo-covered baby Gagas?
Sigh… I’m kind of over Gaga. She’s really trying too hard. Way too hard.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahhaahah. That was so horrible I started laughing uncontrollably.
Can this twit ever do anything that is truly original or maybe inspired? Not a huge blatant rip-off? Obviously not.
It’s almost painful to watch her try to stay relevant, when pretty much everyone is sick of her, her copying, and her famewhoring ways.
Bye-bye Gaga!

here’s my two cents:
i had no clue what to expect & i was pleasantly surprised by how much i enjoyed it. i’m not about to shout from the mountaintops that it was amazing or completely 100% original. but, it was kinda awesome for me.
the intro was hilarious & weird, not sure if that’s what she was going for but i was laughing and cringing and interested to see what came next. as far as videos go, it kept my attention the whole time, and i’d enjoy watching it again.
not sure about her with the buck teeth at the end? looks JUST like madonna (minus the gristle), was this a shout out to her?

“Born This Way”? I suppose a case can be made for being insane if you’re born with an M-60 machine gun in your vadge.
I doubt record sales will be enough to pay for the video production but I do give her credit for the gigantic albeit too much effort.
No amount of outrageousness will sell weak music.

Typical overwrought, over-produced, shallow and meaningless tripe meant to distract attention away from the unoriginal toy music it’s selling. Gaga is a fad, there’s nothing behind her “look at me” facade that hasn’t come & gone a thousand times before. Within a few years someone else will come along who’s even more “outrageous” and gay-friendly and Gaga will be tossed aside like every other pop star who came before her.

okay, IRONY, IRONY, IRONY. For as much as she’s trying to be “DIFFERENT” and “ooh, edgy” and, um, inventive – let’s not overlook the fact that she’s STILL just a blonde pop star wearing her underwear, pushing up her boobs, shaking her hips, grinding on the video boys and showing us whether she shaves or waxes.
She’s still just an obnoxious video girl.
Ha.
PS – her ass looks incredible, however.

I adore the video! Hitchcock and other movie & music references in all the right places without being overwhelming, love the aesthetic and I am IN LOVE with how she slightly altered her facial bone structure. I don’t get why she keeps getting those “trying too hard” comments. This is exactly what she does people and how she does it. It’s not trying too hard when it’s your style to be so over the top. She is a beacon of positive craziness in a world mired in blah.

Bowie never killed off Ziggy Stardust. He’s always been into change, and simply got bored with the persona and went onto the next.
Though he did go back to Ziggy briefly with Aladdin Sane.

Oh, perhaps Gaga should listen to David Bowie’s “Fame”. Might clear a few things up for her.

@ilovemee – Agreed. I miss her “Just Dance” and “Poker Face” days as well. I love her first album. When she fist came out she had a kooky dress sense and people thought that was different and new. Going out in nothing but her underwear and wearing pvc catsuits to go shopping etc Hard to imagine but we thought that was daring and different. Celebs do that all the time now, it’s the norm.
She’s different now. I still like her, but she seems like she’s gotten too big for her boots. She believes she’s something greater than she is and has to be this almighty role model and mother figure. Its unnerving how much she’s changed in the past couple of years :/
Fame can mess you up something bad eh!

I have been over her for awhile. I had tickets to her concert last week and sold them. They were ridiculously priced in the first place and I managed to make a small profit selling them.
I just feel like her justifications of her outrageousness are ridiculous and insincere. I would like her more if she just owned it and said, “I dress wacked out b/c it brings attention to me, and therefore to my music, and once you pay attention to me for my outfits you’ll probably like my music.”

It is me or the “end look” was a Madonna meets Michael Jackson? Maddona’s teeth and black skin?? Maybe was the shadow??
And for some reason.. The dancing parts remind me a bit of Xtina’s Dirrty… Maybe I’m looking too much in it tho.

I do like artistic and offbeat but this isn’t it. Originlaity is a good thing and a break from the cookie cutter baby food we get force fed but come on at least try to entertain, pure shock factor and that is irritating almost arrogant. My husband always says “looks like he/she didn’t get enough attention when he/she was a kid.” I kind of believe him.

I like Gaga but she doesn’t seem as FUN anymore. Sure she’s still wacky and provoking and way out in left field, visually speaking…but her music seems to have these forced messages, like she’s trying to be SO deep ALL the time. Her videos are getting like that, too. I loved her first album, even The Fame Monster was OK, although she started taking herself way too seriously then.
For some reason I see a mental breakdown in her future…and I bet there won’t be another album for a while after this one

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I didn’t hate all of it. The begining reminded me of a really fun campy B sci-fi movie from the 60s or the 70s. Actually, I would’ve enjoyed the video much more if I had never had to hear the crappy song start.
The video quickly goes down hill for me after she starts singing. Once we have gaga “dancing” in her underwear, the video becomes just another pop star shaking her (admittedly nice) rear end for three and a half minutes.
Speaking of Lady Gaga’s rear end, I continue to be impressed with how someone with such a nice body can be so completely not sexy to me. Her body is definitely on point in this video. And yet… No amount of liquor could make her the least bit doable in my mind. I have to wonder, are there men out there that find her attractive? Women? Anyone? I’m sincerely curious.
As for the song… God, this song SUCKS. The production quality is awful. The lyrics are pandering, generic and inane. The rap uses racial references that make me cringe slightly everytime I hear it. Who still says Oriental? The whole thing sounds like it took ten minutes to put together. Oh wait- right.
Anyway, I’m done with her. Wake me up when Lady Gaga is over.

I heard this song before seeing the video and it really does sound like a Madonna song. When I saw the video, I noticed the Superman 2 and Aliens references but when Lady Gaga started dancing in her underwear costume feet flat on the floor in her typical style I was blown away by how beautiful she really is and very authentic. Only at the end of the video did I realize that the prosthetic tampering now with the gap teeth is with love to Madonna who is intentionally shown to be less attractive than she really is – I think that if Madonna didn’t have negatives, her success might get her too much hater attention who might feel compelled to act upon it.

@Gistine – The subtext of this video is that God (capital H-I-M) created evil, evil is necessary, therefore it’s OK to be evil because we’re “born this way”. So sick of this satanic bitch.
btw I’m not saying I think homosexuality is evil, but I do think the whole gay rights thing is being used by Gaga as a smokescreen to obscure the real message.
