June 15, 201015 yr Moving on as this is just going to nowhere & is just pointless. I was disapointed by the video, as the song itself feels like a summer song, but the video is so dark and confusing. This is one thing that makes me sad as its such a summer song. Though thematically, the way it is suits it better. The video is so much more than i had any right to expect ages ago when i thought Alejandro would be a good single. But she's set the bar now; all her videos need to be epic now. Everybody rips everybody off :P It's a business. If something sells of course everybody else is going to ride the bandwagon. Look at all the Boom Boom Pow clones. :/ At least Christina is not as shameless as the hideous Cascada. Aguilera may have gotten some ideas from Gaga's style but at least her songs aren't carbon copies of Gaga's hits. TBH I think Christina's issue is the fact that her music has decreased in quality. She's not a headline grabber like Britney or Gaga, plus the fact she takes so damn long to release albums and then of course the single choices from her greatest hits and the lead track from Bionic have been nothing short of horrendous. It's a shame as Bionic is a fabulous album and far superior to Back To Basics. However, the fact the lead single is damn right awful and sounds like it should've been a Britney Spears album track from 2006 is why I think the project has gotten off to a rather slow start. It has nothing to do with Gaga whatsoever. That said I think Alejandro would easily be top 10 by now if it weren't for the football songs. I hope they don't hinder it's chances of doing so... Agreed! I like it but not exactly revolutionary. It all has the feel of someone who was trying too hard. That's the general feel of the whole affair. She wants to do electro but make sure everything's different so she can't be accused of copying GaGa. Thing is, its a fallacy, and if she'd stop worrying so much about that and allow a little crossover when it felt right the album would be better. Havent really made my mind up about it yet. Sometimes i think its a mess, others that its quite interesting and varied, though she's sort of regressed in a "Catfights and Spotlights" to "Sweet 7" way, since "Back to Basics". Hopeful GaGa can pleasantly surprise and pull #1 out the bag again the way telephone did but i'm thinking top5 at the moment (top3 when optimistic)
June 16, 201015 yr To be honest, most electropop songs will be compared to Lady Gaga anyway, not matter what. Just like how most electro-hop songs are compared to Boom Boom Pow nowadays. It's just the way things are at the moment. Althought it is worse for Christina, given the history behind everything.
