March 28, 201015 yr At least I've heard several nes songs here today that should pull us out of the current terrible 'drought'.
March 28, 201015 yr Love the song, much better than Telephone IMO. A great summer anthem and if she makes a kick-ass video (which she will) she can easily go Top 3.
March 28, 201015 yr it's GaGa, so it could easily hit the top spot, one week of powerful sales after the release of an awesome video isn't unheard of. like i said though, it's GaGa, so the video is pretty much everything :) most likely top 5, with a similar chart run to Paparazzi
March 28, 201015 yr I can't see it getting that high - loads of people know the song already and personally its one of my least favourite LG songs as I played it to death :lol: Agreed...but it'll have a good video so will have a better run than LoveGame i think... Probably a little linferior to Paparazzis run i think...
March 28, 201015 yr I love Alejandro, but I think it has got a European sound. Which in this case, will be bigger in Europe than in the UK. Hoping for #1 thou.
June 8, 201015 yr Love Lady GaGa. Hate that awful video. And I'm a fan of all her other ones. That's just CRAP. It doesn't make sense, she's naked again, and it's just unfortunate really...
June 8, 201015 yr Top 5. If the video was as amazing as "Telephone" I would've said #1, but the video is a bit rubbish and so it won't help the song in the charts IMO
June 8, 201015 yr I think the video is okay, but I'd've actually been more shocked if Lady Gaga and the dancers were actually wearing clothes. :lol:
June 8, 201015 yr I think the video's absolutely stunning - possibly her best.... but moreso than ever, it's "Spot the Madonna pastiche / reference / rip-off" in every single scene. It's fun identifying which Madonna video she's copying through the whole 8 minutes, because there's quite a few - Express Yourself, Justify My Love, Like a Prayer, Vogue...to name a handful. The guy on the bed with her at the end is just astonishingly gorgeous, too, which helps matters.... And let's be honest, this is easily her weakest single to date (well, maybe behind the awful Lovegame).... the single sounds like Madonna covering an early ABBA b-side...... but it's top 3 at least I think, because she's releasing several formats including another of the gorgeous 7" picture discs.

I completely agree on all counts.
June 8, 201015 yr My only problem with the video is that it's boring. I think it's quite poorly edited and it just knocks all the pace and excitement out of the song. The best bits of the song are the drops before the chorus when the beat kicks in but the video completely destroys those moments. Like in Telephone when the chorus kicks in and it cuts to Gaga and Beyonce in their Americana gear, it's the perfect visual drop to the audio drop. That's the problem with Alejandro. It's like all the effort went into the IMAGE and ART and being CONTROVERSIAL (even though it's really not) and they forgot that this was a music video representing a song.
June 8, 201015 yr Its my third favourite singles after poker face and bad romance and it has a great summary feel but with the album having sold so much i can see it peaking at number 4.
June 8, 201015 yr top3/top5 Video is very strange, but then again its gaga. Only clear negative for me is the song has a good summer feel to it but the video is so dark, so i prefr to listen to it on radio then see it on TV :lol: but as always, unique and creative.

I agree on 5 counts. Great video. The idea of backlit dancers and the Sovietness of it all is great.
