Event: Premiere of the music video for Lady Gaga's "Born This Way"
"Born This Way" is the first single off Lady Gaga's 2011 album of the same name, which will be released in May. It'll take some time; but for now, Gaga's little monsters are currently glued to their computer screens as we speak, as they catch a first glimpse at her latest visual masterpiece.
I have seen the video as well, and I have a few words to say about it (after the initial speechlessness due to either shock, amazement, or a mix of both along with other mixed feelings).
But before you read on, I suggest watching the video first, otherwise you might not understand what I will be talking about.
...
Back so soon? After 7.3 minutes? OK then, let me go through my thought in point form.
1. The video starts off with a unicorn, and everyone knows that only good things can happen when unicorns are involved, right? ... No? Hmm, must be due to Ke$ha's "Blow" video.
2. Giving birth? More than that, giving birth to heads? Artistic or graphic?
3. The video (or the prologue, I suppose) gradually plays out like a movie. Guys, I may need some popcorn for this one.
4. Wow, she's slim! Or a bit too slim, skinny almost...
5. Ballet-like dance moves? Redeeming point "Numero Uno".
6. I can't help but think: are those protrusions on Gaga's face & shoulders permanent implants/body modifications? 'Cause they look freakin' real. Mad props to the makeup department!
7. Is putting your hands on your head to resemble "horns" sign language for "queen"?
8. Did Britney do that first in her "Circus"/"Hold It Against Me" videos?
9. LOVE LOVE LOVE the she-suit look as she seduces the scary (dashing, almost) skulled man! Redeeming point "Numero Dos".
10. The alley scene... Too confusing to explain.
11. UNICORN! I mean, ahem, what are we talking about again?
So... Other thoughts?
