So, I am seeing some key words frequently used in this thread:
"Simple" 
Definition: "Easily understood or done; presenting no difficulty."
And
"Dumbed-down" 
Definition [of dumb down]: "to lower the level of difficulty and the intellectual content of (as a textbook); also : to lower the general level of intelligence"
So, if this video is "simple", why would it have to be "dumbed down"? What would be left if that was done? 
Also, I don't hate this video at all (perhaps there are some in this thread who feel differently though, but I am not speaking for them), I just said it wasn't Gaga's best because it honestly comes across as incoherent 
compared to her past work ... I think she's gone downhill since Born This Way, video-wise.
