Million Reasons actually is an incredible video, though. Just because it's not flashy and high budget doesn't mean that it doesn't do a good job symbolizing and encompassing the overall message the song possesses. The video starting out in the desert illustrates her loneliness and isolation she is feeling from whomever the song is directed towards. When the people in the SUV's pull up to rescue her, they are actually a representation of her heart, because although she wants to leave, she knows that she must find "one good reason to stay". As she's in the dressing room staring at herself in the mirror, this demonstrates two sides of Gaga coming together and communicating. One side is her heart, and the other is her head, and they are coming together to discuss whether or not she wants to leave or stay. I think this is a beautiful and very intricate metaphor. The clips of her in the Joanne outfit with the guitar exemplify Gaga as a performer, and how she is putting her true emotions and thoughts into her music and sharing it with the world. Finally, the necklace she receives, assuming it is from the person that "Million Reasons" is about, is the "good reason" for Gaga to stay. Why is this? It is a rosary, and so this proves that the person she is conflicted about, is God. "Love you sis", the note attached with the rosary, is God's method of making sure Gaga receives and is adorned in his unconditional love. After all, she is a "sister" of her church. At the end of the video, she is seen hugging the people from the SUV. This represents her head and heart coming together as one, deciding that she will stay with God after all. I mean, she even says in the song, "I bow down to pray" and "Lord, show me the way". Sometimes, you have to look in between the lines to really understand her, but isn't that what Gaga has been making everyone do all along?
I think it's her best video of all time.

I agree with all of this

For the flippin millionth time! NO ONE SAID THE VID NEEDS TO BE HIGH BUDGET FLASHY AND OVER THE TOP! we just wanted properly executed mv, with pleasant aesthetics. The mv could of been her just sitting on a field, under the stars and riding her horse with her friends and it would of been a million times better then this rehashed mess. The mv simply is NOT good and if you lie and keep encouraging this mess then idk what to tell you. She used an old footage of an Apple Commercial! How can you defend that? This is not Lady Gaga...no artist has used rehashed footage unless they are making a tour mv using a song..like the New Romantics and Cheers MV by Taylor and Rihanna.
This is her SECOND single...how do you use rehashed visuals for a second single? that is only indicative that she does not care anymore about visuals and has run out of ideas. Im sorry.
The music is BEYOND amazing, the visuals are BEYOND horrid.
Sis see the light plz  I am begging you I don't want you to start accepting mediocrity..scratch that..sub par horrid visual material like certain fan bases with their washed up fav.

Nope, he just tries to enjoy good quality music Gaga served us but he can't because the bitching and whining just won't stop.
And the awful part about all of this is the fact that some people still did not get what Joanne and this whole album is all about and they still are living in the past. Time to move on tbh and enjoy Joanne the way it is.
And for the people that prefer seeing her on top of the charts rather than having quality music - The Super Bowl is coming. She'll be on top again for a couple of weeks.
And no, we can't have not this time. I guess.

I enjoy the music, Joanne to me is her best album, I only started stanning since Artpop so I don't even know what successful Gaga is, but the MV for MR is just so...ugh

Fair enough. I just wish we could be more understanding towards one another.

I totally get you. The low key ARTPOP shade is not the tea though.
I agree the MR video is not what she used to do. I mean, it's her least alive video one could say. At first I hated it like basically the majority of our base but then I remembered AGAIN what Joanne is all about.
I really tend to forget that from time to time what she said about the album, about the promo schedule etc.
Would I love her to go back to her old ways regarding the promo and vidoes, heck, even kind of music? Sure. But not if that would mean no more albums like Joanne.
The albums quality, the message, the production, vocals - for me personally is better than everything she's ever done even though I still love ARTPOP to death.
I would like people here to be more concentrated on the actual music rather then the music videos sucking or not being what people want them to be. It may sound like a mother ****ing RADIO ARTPOP member speaking but I don't know, it's just the way I feel.
