I guess sir, if you say so...
Okay, so throughout the video, Gaga would wear 4 looks:
1. Statue-Gaga: her wig, bikini, and body painted with white/light tan paint, as if to look like a statue (ala the ARTPOP album cover). Her wig is the long curly blonde wig worn in the single cover and during her performances on SNL.
2. Stripped-Gaga: her stripped down, without a wig, and just black lingerie on. This is basically the look used in the BTS photos released for the “Do What U Want” video. Her hair is worn the same way as in those photos + as it is in the X-Factor UK performance of the song.
3. Koons-Gaga: basically the same exact outfit as Statue-Gaga, except unpainted. The same blonde wig, and the lingerie has the floral pattern worn in the single cover.
4. Nude-Gaga: about the same as Stripped-Gaga, except wearing skin-toned lingerie. Her natural hair is used.
The main image that comes to my mind when visualizing a video for “Do What U Want” is Statue-Gaga, posing in a dim warehouse filled with a bunch of newspapers and computers with negative headlines about her. Once the music starts, a mash-up of headlines are projected on Statue-Gaga (similar to the American Music Awards performance), and she starts doing her little faux-walking-choreography from the X-Factor UK/SNL performances. This scene is intercut with Stripped-Gaga in a simple white room, performing the song on a white piano. During the first chorus, Statue-Gaga begins to destroy/throw around some of the papers/computers, while Stripped-Gaga gets aggresive while playing the piano, maybe even to the point of throwing it over.
During R. Kelly’s verse, him and Stripped-Gaga begin to dance along to the song while also simulating sexual positions (as seen in the BTS photos released). When R. Kelly finishes his verse singing “we don’t give a ****”, Statue-Gaga uses a match to light a bunch of the newspapers on fire, and continues her destruction. The second chorus would be mainly filled with Stripped-Gaga and R. Kelly grooving and singing to the song, while Koons-Gaga is shown against a white background, on something like a pedestal, posing next to a Gazing ball.
During the bridge, we would see Nude-Gaga in an entirely black room, where the floor is filled with ink. She’s kneeling with her hands on the ground, and her face down. When she starts singing, she lifts her hands and starts to feel her body, spreading ink on herself. While she’s singing, she looks as if she’s having a breakdown, pounding her fist on the ground in pure anger, and as she sings “so just take my body, and don’t stop the party”, she just starts going wild, splashing ink everywhere and basically doing the movements she did when she fell on the piano during the X-Factor UK performance. During the final chorus, scenes of Statue-Gaga destroying magazines and computers, Stripped-Gaga and R. Kelly dancing, Koons Gaga posing, and Nude-Gaga expressing her anger and cut together and shown. As she sings “what you want with my body, world” for the first time, Koons-Gaga slips into the pose done on the ARTPOP album cover (like she does during the artRAVE performance of the song). As the song fades away, each Gaga is shown in their respective scene, as “do what u want” is painted on the wall.
I feel if there was a video, if wouldn't need to be very big and extravagant. Just Gaga stripped back, showing her anger at the whole entertainment/tabloid industry.
If you can't handle me at my ARTPOP, you don't deserve me at my TFM! 
She cancelled the remaining dates around Valentine's Day last year, so if this mini-blackout doesn't end soon... we'll be having our second annual February blackout
