Miel 15,009 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 So I was sitting in my Organic Chemistry class, like, months ago, and noticed: Alejandro, at the Monster Ball (women and men dancers) Alejandro, at the Born This Way Ball (all men dancers) Alejandro, at the artRave (all women dancers) What do you think? Where all my meta/analysis peeps at? ______________________________________________________________________________________ I'm so bored, the LG5 test is killing me and I am sososo done with this year of university. What other things have you noticed, like this? 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayla 7,595 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Huh. It is interesting. I wonder if the gender makeup of her dancers is supposed to be intentional or mean something? Can't wait to hear how this is interpreted! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crisTEAne 21,059 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 MB: the fountain bleeds for you (being freed from gendered expectations = power within) = men & women BTWB: grinding up old boyfriends (= male power) into a nice spanish couch = men artRAVE: singing it after MJH, she (by extension, her dancers = female power) could be fine with those old boyfriends (alejandro, roberto, ferando) when being high = women if you hurt taylor swift, i'll hurt you back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyanLights 15,576 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Shouldn't you be paying attention in orgo instead? Nah but this is interesting actually! It honestly is a 50/50 on being on purpose or a coincidence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDi 1,495 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I think the song is about lesbianism and she's basically saying she prefers to "drink from the fountain" (and going to the "fountain of life" in her American Idol and Monster Ball performances was a metaphor for going down on a girl ) because men treat her like a daughter "she's just a baby but her boyfriend's like a dad, just like a dad" while women love her like a mother/woman. she's been in relationships where she's only received possessive kind of manlove so she embraces her homosexuality to feel equal. makes sense since she always dedicated it "to the gays in the audience" and there was this one time she said something like "you know what **** it this is dedicated to the lesbians here tonight". also, in Gypsy she says "honey, it's simple [you love me] the way that you love and treat your mother".
