I love GaGa and you know it... but Telephone it's not my favorite video. Too much random stuff/scenes/looks/people going on. Gaga's lost underneath all that.
I'm beginning to think there's a little bit of intentionality behind this... Not Myself Tonight... she's playing characters and letting people discuss and watch the video over and over again. Maybe that's the storyline, the POINT.
After the "fight" with Gaga... this will get media attention.
One of the paradoxes of creativity is that in order to think originally, we must first familiarize ourselves with the ideas of others.
Even the "Star Bangled Banner", which was written in defiance of England, was essentially the same as a popular tune sung in english pubs.
Amazing video! It is missing a storyline, but who cares? The video is still amazing. Every scene is dramatic and powerful and the video and song clash really well together. I do think they were maybe too many different scenes in the video which may make the video less memorable, but it is still an amazing video
I'm kind of disappointed. :-/ The whole video looks like a parody of Lady Gaga, Gwen Stefani, Britney Spears, Madonna and even herself, without the funny part.
The church scene is boring, I was expecting something more shocking, if you're going to piss off religious people, at least do it good!
