Meh, she's just far too pretentious for me these days :(. I miss the days of when she didn't take herself so seriously, but at the same time was still interesting and artistic.

 

'Telephone' and 'Paparazzi' are her best videos and deserved the 7 or so minutes they were. This was just a yawnfest, but had it's moments I guess.

 

I agree with you on this.

 

I do think the intro is fabulous though, it's just a shame than the 'actual video' (ie what will get played on TV) is $h!t. And playing around with Rick Genest for 4 mins is so meh, people were already talking about his tatoos 5 years ago, lol.

Giving birth to some weird alien species? No, not really.

 

Where's Sigourney Weaver when you need her? :drama:

Its alright, not her best, but it has made me like the song slightly more

See when I look back to the Just Dance video I cringe. The 'party' setting, the fact that she looked like Britney with better hair.

I dont like Normall videos like Just Dance but I dont like Over The Top videos.

I really like Born this way!

But her Best Video was Bad Romance :P

Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' Video Premieres

The seven-minute clip shows a Gaga ready to create new worlds to dominate.

By James Montgomery of MTV

 

She's already accomplished pretty much everything on this astral plane — you know, emerging from swimming pools while flanked by Great Danes, murdering her boyfriend, escaping from prison, offending the Catholic church. So, in her new video for "Born This Way," it sort of makes sense that Lady Gaga has taken her talents to an entirely new dimension: a "multiverse" of starry space births and snarling specters, new life forms and centuries-old demons. And sparkly unicorns. You can't forget about them.

 

So, yes, "Born This Way" (which premiered on Monday, February 28) is quite the spectacle. Part space odyssey, part Creationist yarn, it involves the formation of not just an entirely new universe, but an entirely new race of humanity, too. It sort of makes sense, it sort of doesn't, but that 100 percent doesn't really matter much. This is Gaga at her most fabulous, her most out-there, her most, well, Gaga.

 

Beginning with a long voiceover (the "Manifesto of Mother Monster," as Gaga puts it) that drops phrases like "the mitosis of the future" and "the eternal mother hovered in the multiverse" like they're practically weightless, "Born This Way" stretches a tale of astral rebirth — which appears to be a central theme of the Born This Way album — over seven minutes, recalling everything from the early "Superman" films to the late Alexander McQueen's final collection, doing so effortlessly and oh-so-seriously, in the way we've come to expect from Gaga.

 

There is haute couture and barely there underwear, a guest appearance by the so-called "Zombie Boy" who showed up in an earlier clip, a whole lot of oozing afterbirth, some fierce dance moves and even a bit of gunplay. The basic premise seems to be good vs. evil, but again, that's entirely up to your interpretation. Director Nick Knight fills each frame with shades of dark and light, coloring the voids of this new world with his fashion-photographer's eye. Gaga plays it straight, even when she's delivering a whitechocolatespaceegg (shout out to Liz Phair!) while hovering above planet Earth.

 

It's part fantasy, part hopeful reality. It's about the future and the past (especially at clip's end, when Gaga sports Madonna's near-trademarked tooth gap), but really, all of that pales in comparison to the sheer spectacle of the thing. And that sort of makes sense, because after thoroughly dominating this world, with "Born This Way," Lady Gaga seems content to create brand-new worlds to tower over. Welcome your new overlord.

I quite like the fact it isn't TOO much - once I get over the fact it's not actually as wacky I was expecting, I can enjoy it.

 

I hate the song now - but the video, was quite well done, and not too over the top. Admittedly, some scenes did remind me of the covers that TRIANGLEx3 makes in the cover game, with the sort of coloured mists and stuff, and triangles. idk?

The more i watch the video the more i love it,

Just like the song it grew on me slowly :P

This video is not anything like I expected but I must say the first 3 minutes or so are tulry beautiful and strangely philosophical, and the the other bit is really good but doesn't really compare, it is like 2 videos merged! I think it is one of, if not her best yet! I don't see why everybody is saying it isn't a patch on telephone!!! I think telephone is her worst 'long' video. Also, any video that can include the words manifesto and mitosis deserves recognition in my book hahaha!

 

Plus I love that she looks a bit like Koume & Kotake from the zelda games when she is saying ''this is the manifesto of mother monster'' , also the earring she has looks similar to the triforce!! (I notice some very strange things at times lmao!!!)

 

Overall- 9.5/10 :wub:

It briefly went to #4 on iTunes but fell back down to #6, but the video has barely been on TV, I've only seen it once up to now, so just hope she keeps climbing and eventually in a couple weeks time she gets number 1, even though it won't be that disappointing if she doesn't. Just hope for healthy sales!

Yeah everyone was talking about it today at my college! Most people LOved it other than a couple Britney fans :lol:

After my internet breaking the day of the premiere, I thankfully saw the video many times on TV, and it is amazing! The skeletal parts were great, it was nice to see the guy from the 'Anatomy of Change' video there. :D The choregraphy was great too. It seemed like what 'Alejandro' should have been. :wub:
