So Lady Gaga's new video for "Alejandro" was released today, which happens to be one of my favorite Gaga songs. And may I just say that I totally called that "Alejandro" would be one of her singles from her last album The Fame Monster.
My summary of this new 8min clip: Cool, but what the hell?
Gaga does what she does best; selecting different aspects of the cultural landscape and mixing them together into something new. For this particular offering she takes her cues from gay culture, the military, Cabaret and even Catholicism to come up with something vaguely Gothic, rather stylized, risque and compelling to watch, though you're not quite sure what you're looking at. There's no storyline to speak of, and there are bowl cuts on a lot of the guys to go with their high heels, and a bra with machine guns. Yeah, I don't get it. Like it, but don't get it. And there seems to be a funeral and a gang bang in it as well. Hopefully an explanation will be forthcoming.
Check it out here.
