"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.

Oh, but I think you have done exactly what Gaga wants you to do! You know how every artist in every interview about a musicvideo ever talks about how they don't really care if people get what they meant with the video, they just care that it means something to the people who watched it? (phew long sentence) You watched the video and you cared about it and it meant something to you. Any artist would probably be thrilled if someone could find so many brilliant things in their work, even if it was something completely different to what they thought/meant themselves.
Great review though! I wasn't really even interested in watching the video, but now I think I'll have to...

:) Thanks! I totally get the perspective you're talking about. I guess i'm a bit of a purist though, lol - the ~original~ idea always means the most to me no matter what.

THE VIDEO IS AWESOME, DON'T LISTEN TO THE HATERRRRRS
EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED IN WATCHING GAGA MAKE A SCENE, THERE ARE SOME SERIOUSLY HOT MOMENTS IN THE VIDEO THAT ARE PROBABLY PART OF JOHNNY'S FAP FOLDER NOW
