Lady GaGa was always going to have a job of following up that Telephone video, so it’s obvious that we were all looking for her to push the boundaries even further with the video for latest single Alejandro. And she’s certainly done that.
Whilst it isn’t as nice a little story as the Telephone video - to be honest, I don’t even understand the storyline behind this video at all - it really does explore avenues I’ve never seen in a pop video before.
Gaga is, as per usual, dressed in some rather odd outfits ranging from what could be a Queen Victoria inspired gown to some awful rubber getup with an inverted crucifix covering her lady garden. And then of course, there’s the obligatory GaGa pants and bra scene - but this time she’s got undies even Bridget Jones would be ashamed of, AND no make up on, oh and she’s acting out rather graphic sex scenes at the same time.
Yep, here we have a lady who last week angered loads of protective parents at the Manchester Evening News Arena for squirting fake blood everywhere, and is now getting up their noses once again by showing their little girls and boys just what dirty sex looks like. I’ll be shocked if the video isn’t censored by some music station or another.
In all, the video itself is all very dark and sadistic, but like I said, I don’t really know what’s going on but it obviously doesn’t end too well for poor old GaGa as she’s being mauled by some blokes with terrible haircuts and hardly any clothes on. Maybe they’re just church-goers who don’t approve of her latex nuns habit? Either that or they’re furious over that horrific accent.
Let me know what you think.
