"Alejandro" Analysis/Stanning/Tinhattery

[a_nice_reminder]

IS ANYONE ELSE COMPLETELY WHELMED BY LADY GAGA'S NEW VIDEO?! I AM DED, COMPLETELY DED. SO DED, IN FACT, THAT WHEN SOMEONE ASKED ME WHAT I LIKED ABOUT THE VIDEO'S SOCIAL COMMENTARY, I LAUNCHED INTO A GARGANTUAN PILE OF TL;DR ON FACEBOOK. THERE WAS JUST THIS FEELING THAT I NEEDED TO SAY EVERYTHING I HAD NOTICED BECAUSE IT WAS ALL SO FUCKING COOL.

"In May 2010... See More, Gaga told The Times about the concept of the video: "[It's about the] purity of my friendships with my gay friends, and how I've been unable to find that with a straight man in my life. It's a celebration and an admiration of gay love-it confesses my envy of the courage and bravery they require to be together. In the video I'm pining for the love of my gay friends-but they just don't want me to be with them.""

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Haha, thank you! I actually added the comment to show that my interpretation failed and ended up totally not being what she had in mind, lol, but i'm glad you liked my ideas anyway. :) Do you mind me asking how you found it?

[etymologizing]

I can't compete in the analysis dept really, so here are some rather more inane comments lol. I absolutely love Gaga's look here, the hair is great. And her body is madness, good god.

ALSO THOSE NUBILE, MONK-HAIRED, HEEL-WEARING DUDES IMMEDIATELY MADE ME THINK OF JOHNNY XD

Oh god iknorite o.o I honestly didn't realize how ~shapely~ she was until the "Bad Romance" video, where there were those KILLER poses and silhouettes.

AND LOLOMG ME TOO, I CONVINCED MY NON-GAGA FAN FRIEND TO WATCH THE VIDEO BY PROMISING JOHNNY-ESQUE DANCERS

At some points she reminded me of Madonna in "vogue"

I watched "Vogue" earlier today to see the connections, but i couldn't find any besides the group dancing :( Enlighten me?

[hzuki]

I think it relates to the message in "Vogue" of being free and a sort of equality in genders

"Live version"

The costumes on the guys at first reminded me of the costumes of the guys in that video too :o

Ohhhh i see what you mean now! That's cool. I actually like how Gaga takes things from older stuff and remixes them - it keeps them alive

:O Whoa i didn't know you were still on here! But yeah, now that you point it out, i can totally see some Marilyn in Gaga's top and general writhing. MARILYN AS A MAN ~*~*~**~~
