BuzzJack Music Forum _ Lady Gaga _ ROUND 11/SEMI FINAL: Lady Gaga Music Video Survivor

Posted by: Jαsє Aug 13 2020, 12:00 PM



Finishing in 4th place is the video for the masterpiece better known as 'Marry the Night'.

"It's a succinct summary of Gaga's aesthetic, but the video itself is a sprawling epic, with the song preceded by several minutes of cheeky, artsy psycho-drama set in a mental health clinic. There's ballet, nudity, fashion from the future, French dialogue, cars on fire, a little bit of weeping, and lots and lots of dancing. Even compared to other Gaga video epics, this one seems particularly crazy and ambitious."


Gaga directed the video, which is over 13 minutes in length. Explaining what video is about, she commented: "I know how rejection feels in the business. I got signed, I got dropped, I got signed again. That's actually what the 'Marry the Night' video is about. It's about one of the most horrible days of my life when I got dropped from my first record label and it's the story of what happened that day."

It's a huge triumph in every way. It's one one of her greatest ever songs and it truly deserved a memorable and epic visual. What she gave us went beyond what I ever imagined. heart.gif

This. is. impossible.

I'm absolutely mortified but its now got to be the video for...Telephone. cry.gif

Posted by: Adelita Aug 13 2020, 12:07 PM

Telephone again.

Posted by: Jade Aug 13 2020, 12:08 PM

Definitely the correct top 3 wub.gif voted for 'Paparazzi'

Posted by: n'tAlice Aug 13 2020, 12:16 PM

Gotta say Bad Romance because the other two are clearly her best by far. The visuals, concept, execution. Everything is perfect. But I think the song will come into play for sure as Telephone is HATED over here lmao

Posted by: HausofGhibli Aug 13 2020, 04:40 PM

Paparazzi for me!

Posted by: Addy!(By Demand) Aug 13 2020, 04:47 PM

Telephone.

Paparazzi deserves to be in the final monsters!!!

Paparazzi is a first video that showed us Gaga is here to stay and slay!!!

Great that Marry the Night made it this far!! It's the "ultimate Gaga video" in terms of her career and artistry

Posted by: Nick Jonas Aug 13 2020, 07:24 PM

Paparazzi!

It's a masterpiece but the other two have a more lasting legacy on me cry.gif SORRY </3

Picked BR again

SO CLOSE RACE

Posted by: n'tAlice Aug 13 2020, 10:11 PM

i mean... BR is great but the other two were such SPECTACLES. I really think a lot of y'all are judging the songs out here or at least partly :')

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Aug 13 2020, 10:16 PM

Telephone

I do believe we have her best 3 videos in the top 3 though!

But Bad Romance is a spectacle.. laugh.gif

Posted by: n'tAlice Aug 13 2020, 10:23 PM

Not as grand as the other two. Good imagery and great scenes but not as intricate. I love all 3 but Paparazzi and Telephone are in a different league entirely

Posted by: HausofGhibli Aug 13 2020, 10:28 PM

Pavel? I am not judging based on the songs at all unsure.gif There is a reason Bad Romance is frequently voted one of the best videos of all time and why it won so many awards unsure.gif It doesn't have the epic storyline or extended cut as the other two but what it does in terms of cinematagraphy, drama, choreography and everything in between is near unrivalled. It also did massive things for raising the bar of the music video game in the time it was released.

Posted by: HausofGhibli Aug 13 2020, 10:31 PM

I think this has triggered me almost as much as when Meekul called the Telephone video "bland".

Pavel, have you watched the BR video recently, or read up on its legacy and impact? ......

Posted by: LJ JORD 7 Aug 13 2020, 10:48 PM

I love all 3! But basing this on music videos alone I’ve also actually went for Bad Romance but I would argue at this being her top 3 in terms of music videos.

I have nothing at all negative to say about the video though it’s just.. I think the two are more wow worthy and that’s all. It’s like comparing an 11/10 to a 10/10 kinda thing.

Posted by: Rob S Aug 13 2020, 10:49 PM

'Telephone' BUUUT this is difficult tbh as all are stellar. 'Paparazzi' is my favourite video of GaGa's!!

I guess I’m just biased as I love the two videos so much and was never THAT impressed with BR (as a video obv, we are not going to COMMIT A CRIME by saying it’s not a good SONG,

But yes I rewatched them all yesterday before deciding to vote.

Posted by: HausofGhibli Aug 14 2020, 10:50 AM

Pavel please stop provoking Adelita or it will have to result in a warn. Can we all just give it a f***ing break, I'm sick of having posts reported in this forum.

If it continues we will have to ban certain members from here like has happened in other artist forums.

Yup. We're in rare situation where all three are of SUCH huge quality that it pretty much is nearly impossible to choose drama.gif
