I'm here to say that killing everyone in a diner has everything to do with Telephone

there's no romance when you're a prostitute.

Wow really? I'm not in the US right now and I don't have MTV where I'm staying so I'm not sure exactly how big the promo is atm.

It's about the commodification of the pop star.

Awesome Hopefully the album will be top 10 and top 15, and Y&I #1 after tomorrow's performance

Not here for that.

JK, that makes perfect sense. Still has nothing to do with the song.

Actually, I suppose it could if you broke it down.

It is pretty mental. You only need to look through this thread to see all the promo videos that they have made!

There was also this:

It totally is, though.

"I want your love, and all your lovers' revenge... I don't wanna be friends"

It's about knowing the industry wants to exploit you as a product and going along with it because you're willing to do whatever it takes, IMO. That's the "bad" romance.

The only thing is... In one of her earliest interviews about the song she said it was about falling in love with your best friend.

Are we talking about the video or the song, 'cause I thought we were talking about the video had nothing to do with the song. I am confused right now. I suppose if that's what the video is about, which makes sense, it could go with the song, but at the same time, it's a different type of "bad romance".

So are all the promos shown as commercials on MTV? And are there commercials about Gaga performing on other large channels?

This image is edited, the original image has the list of performers so it makes more sense when they say epic!

Gaga says a lot of things. She gave like five explanations for Judas that meant slightly different things.

I remember her saying in at least one interview when she was asked what the video for BR meant in relation to the song that it was a reference to the relationship between the pop star and the music industry.

Besides, she's the post-modern pop star, which points to the fact that her songs can take on number of possible meanings, and she's played off this with performances in the past, I think.

They're on MTV and all of the other channels MTV owns, like VIVA and the Hits, Dance, etc, and (I think) VH1.

I'm talking about both.

Haha, something I love about her is her intelligence. She really is clever, and it comes across in interviews, in which she talks on a more meaningful level rather than just answering "I like to party and have fun!"

Well, sometimes she's trying too hard to sound clever, too.

MTV is hyping her performance up. That means she MUST deliver.

Exactly. Otherwise they would look so dumb. But you never know.

Yeah, but I guess the thing is that I've always clung on to the meaning of it being about falling in love with your best friend. It's important to me in that sense. So I guess that's why I've never associated the song with the video, despite both being amazing
