SlaeUrAnus 15,955 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 - Is it because the single deserved better treatment? - The music video did not do the song justice? - The concept of the song did not match the music video? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I must be one of the very few who like the music video I remember when it was released; the meltdowns that occurred. It gets dragged to hell and back. I love it Discuss and keep the thread please. In my messy era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie 5 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 It was supposed to be a huge, epic, mermaid-themed video, but Gaga and the director kept fighting so the director left, and Gaga had to scramble (i.e. rush-release) a new video together. They only had like 3 days for this, so we got the simple EOG video we have now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guille 1,073 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 People expect every Gaga music video to be an intense spectacle and couldn't accept something simplistic Pretty much this. People expected a Telephone meets Bad Romance video when the song is about her grandpa passing away. The video remains flawless and unbothered tho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPokeHerFace 2,564 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 It's a good video but people were expecting something different so that's why it's not too liked Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bionic 49,759 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Personally it's because I find that there's a difference between a good simplistic video and a video where next to nothing happens at all. I was underwhelmed. stream bionic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 97,978 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I think what killed the video for the vast majority was the leaked pics that created so much hype and then life circumstances changed everything, instead of mermaids and creepy labs we got Gaga doing nothing basically If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating.

Bear 7,515 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I loveeee that video! It has that timeless and simple feel that fits the song. It's the sort of video that will age well and can still be appreciated 10 years down the line. I mean the original concept sounded exciting, but every Gaga video is exciting so it is not like we exactly missed out (+ don't forget the mermaid theme was still used).
