Calling other artists copiers is pathetic and low. Clearly haters have nothing else to do so they just find old stuff that is similar to GaGa. Artists are influenced by other artists, there are obviously going to be similarities.

Now, onto what I thought the video meant. if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend watching it before you continue reading this.
Overall, the video made me think that GaGa is singing/performing from the point-of-view of a man who is in the military. He is falling in love with all these other men (Alejandro, Roberto, Fernando), but he ends all these relationships, as if saying "No, this is wrong, I can't do this anymore". He doesn't want any of them to call his name, he doesn't wanna kiss or touch because he knows that if he had anymore contact with them, he would change his mind.
The reason I think this is because in the video when the second verse is on, you see GaGa dancing in a bra and panties (Flesh-toned. Sexay.) in a room full of beds with men writhing around on them. the men are in very feminine heels and are bound to the headboard, as if they were being dominated by GaGa. Then, at another point during that scene, you see GaGa dry-rubbing on one of the boys doggie-style. That's when I realized that she was portraying a man. The fact that the whole scene seems to take place in some hidden room suggests that all of this is done out of need and extreme desire, and the man GaGa is playing is very deep in the closet.
I also knew she was being a gay man because in multiple interviews she has claimed that when she was younger, she related to men more than women, and that androgyny is a HUGE influence on her work. Also, almost all her friends growing up were gay men.
Sometime after the second chorus, you see GaGa laying down in a bed in what seems to be a red latex nun outfit. I interpreted this to mean that the man is trying to cleanse his sins and "cure" his homosexuality. For the remainder of the video, you repeatedly see GaGa in religious-inspired comstumes, and at the end, she finally rips her top off and gives in to temptation. At the very end, you see GaGa in the bed again, praying. You also see that another man is sitting on the bed with her. Then the camera zooms in on her face, and her image seems to burn, suggesting that the scene in the bed took place after the man gave in to all the other men around him and he imagined himself burning for it.

It was something like this except it tied together the church, military, and societys view on homosexuality.

If you're talking about the Kylie picture, the only thing similar is the font. Font is so trivial.

Some people's pop idols have conditioned them to think that way about pop music and videos - don't deviate from that straight line.  |
Pretend the words on the bottom aren't there, and just focus on the expression.

Gaga would not be where she is today without The Fame Monster. The End.

This is by far the best of the three album covers (I really hope this IS the album cover). It's ART and SUPER FASHION and just SPECTACULAR. Who else would have them in the early stages of morphing into a unicorn on the cover? With shaved eyebrows? Just art.

The album and lead single are both titled “Born This Way.” As we all know, Gaga was not born Gaga, rather Stefani. The effect they used on her skin seems to have been used as a way to kind of make it seem like something is trying to come out of her skin. Maybe she is, yet again, subtly trying to tell us that there is a human being or something else underneath the Gaga persona. Or maybe it’s her way of telling us that we all have something deeper and stronger on the inside and we need to let it out in order to be who we really want/need to be. Nothing Gaga does is “just ‘cause,” she always has a meaning and a reason behind every outfit, performance, picture, etc, so it makes sense to me.
