I remember in college, people were doing their homework/reading, with tabs open on their computers, and one of the tabs open was the Telephone video premiere countdown. EVERYONE had their eyes on Gaga during that time. No video premiere since has been as anticipated.

Of the digital era, yes.

It premiered at night and everyone had it downloaded on their devices the next day at school.

Not when Hello Kitty exist .

[romonster]

Yes. The anticipation for the video was so big, it was an event.

[abrahamjmr]

Mmm no. I don't even remember it being a huge media event.

[TeemoR]

yes

[H-I-M]

Did the people mentioning Thriller even read the "Massive video RELEASE" in the OP ?

[LONGWAY2GO.]

I don't even remember what the video is like so i'm gon' have to say no

[Valera]

Even Alejandro was a huge media event, her power back then was undeniable !
The way ATRL is still perched on her even during her flop era (look at GUY's video release) is how the GP was perched on her at her peak !

Gaga smoked a cigarette, tongue-kissed a woman, had a Virgin Mobile cell phone, and had Diet Coke cans in her hair.

I don't want to come off as pressed so this will be my last comment here, but you realize Gaga's peak was before YouTube hit it big? She's lucky she has as much views as she does.
