At 3:18 she looks like Claire Meade off Ugly Betty :lol:

She's supposed to be drugged out of her mind in that scene :P Sex trafficking requires the women to be docile, hence the drugging and the forced vodka scene...

 

Oh lol! I really didn't get that :P I really like the video though especially the dance scenes. :wub:

OMG so true! :rofl:

 

I'll never be able to look at Claire the same way now!

 

*that sounds creepier than I intended it too :(

GaGa - Gossip Girl preview clip

 

At 3:18 she looks like Claire Meade off Ugly Betty :lol:

Haha true!

I think she looks so much like Amy Winehouse for a few seconds around the 4:26 mark. Odd!

Just seen the video for the first time (late I know :()

 

EPIC! :o Brilliant.

 

Her eyes scare me when she's in the bath though :(

The video of the year. f***ing brilliant! Couldn't really do any better. Probably even of the best videos of ALL TIME. At least for me :heehee:

 

She looks like Hande Yener (nobody knows her tho, but she's a famous Turkish pop singer) in those scenes with only her face in the screen when she's almost crying.

 

Her Garfield eyes scare me as well LMAO.

Some reviews:

 

Rolling Stone:

Just one album into her career, Lady Gaga has established herself as someone impervious to predictions — especially in the music video department. And the video for her first Fame Monster single, “Bad Romance,” has Gaga providing fans with perhaps her craziest, brightest canvas yet.

 

MTV:

The wait is over! On Tuesday (November 10), after 24 hours spent frantically refreshing LadyGaga.com for its scheduled Monday premiere, fans were finally treated to the premiere of Gaga's much-discussed "Bad Romance" video. And needless to say, it was worth the wait.

 

It's a testament to her brilliance as an artist that Gaga is using the "Bad Romance" video as the jump-off point for the next leg of her career. These days, it seems like pop stars all too rarely put this much thought into their vision and their products.

 

Wherever she goes from here, we can look back on this clip as the moment where it all changed. Perhaps that's a tad by hyperbolic, but you can't blame me for getting caught up in the moment: They don't make 'em like this anymore, and I'm not just talking about the video.

 

About.com

It's something that starts in a "bathhaus" and seems to be something about Lady Gaga being captive then forced to dance for a powerful man. Just like the song "Bad Romance" it blasts at your senses until you are just left drowning in the audio and visual power of it all.

 

Lady Gaga continues to break down barriers and take us all to new places. In a music industry that too often seems to want to revisit whatever might have been successful in the past without breathing new material and elements into it, Lady Gaga remains a powerful force to observe.

 

Eonline:

She's exciting to watch, plain and simple. Sure, her theatrics might cause a few eye-rolls, and she definitely isn't breaking any pop music conventions, but while Britney's out there making the same old boring video, we need someone like Gaga to really bring it. To put actual thought and care into her product so that it feels alive."

And a bit of promo news, she's performing Bad Romance on the American Music Awards on November 22nd and she's also making an appeal message on Children In Need on November 20th. Exciting. That performance could easily make BR a #1 contender in the US! :P

Video now available on US iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/video/bad-romance/id340303880

The official remixes have leaked:

I've got all files on mp3 so if anyone's keen just shout and I'll PM them to you. They're all superb, especially H&TL. :wub: Wonder which one they'll pick as the B-side to the BR physical. .

Woo, just saw the video on TV, but they cut out the last bit with her boobs on fire :(

I really hope this ends up getting a decent peak in the UK, the video effect seems to be wearing off and it still hasn't re-entered the top 10 iTunes yet.. *sigh*

The release was really messed up by them releasing it so early. Had it been released after the X Factor performance and the music video it would have most likely been #1 but it's still got time and it definitely will get a better peak but obviously not the one we were all hoping for. But that's because of X Factor, it's blowing up all over the world and I will really hit my head against the wall if BR does a LoveGame and gets a flop peak in the UK in comparison to its peaks outside the UK.

I think this is the sort of song and Lady GaGa is the sort of artist that after an X Factor performance it'll storm up the charts - I just have a feeling that this song CAN'T possibly do badly.

This is suddenly performing a lot better on iTunes, hopefully next sunday, BR will have a new peak. (:
