The editing was crazy detailed in PI. 
All of her video are lazy at best and pretty "normal" in comparison. Her conceptual peak was Applause and that was two singles ago.

Most of her work is based on shock value to gain attention. 

Best Editing at the VMA's is guaranteed for PI. 

There is more than one dimension to filmmaking people! Wake up! 

They had to edit it like a seizure because otherwise it would have been even more of a snooze. Hey we all have different opinions, yours is that applause was her conceptual peak and that her other videos besides PI are lazy... To me Bad Romance, Paparazzi, You and I, Alejandro (Steven Klein ripping off his own past work with Madonna, but still) etc are way more interesting and better thought out and executed. Avril Lavigne and the Spice Girls had already basically done the PI video ages ago. 

As far as a guaranteed VMA lol ok

true. but PI is her first one since a very long time. and Gaga herself said "it's just me performing the song" 

so she knows it's nothing special compared to her previous work... her fans have been waiting for her return, but this video is something any other singer could release 

I can't see many other stars performing in the same way she does in this video. It's clear that she's going for a more stripped back vibe for this era - at least for this single era right now. I don't feel sorry for anyone who hasn't yet adjusted their expectations from wild costumes etc.

I can understand why people may not be into it as it's a pretty big jump so of course not everyone will love it. But to say it's "basic" because it's not down to your personal taste is quite unfair to Gaga and in my opinion unnecessary negativity that this site simply doesn't need.

It's not basic it's just different. It seemed like Gaga was trying to keep up with her own antics during the ARTPOP era to the point that she almost became a parody of herself. I think it's better for her as an artist to follow something that feels genuine for her rather than repeat what she's already mastered. I'm sure we'll see the more avant-garde and artsy side of Gaga once again - it's in her creative DNA - but I for one am personally enjoying seeing what else she has to offer.

Applause is her conceptual peak. It's not opinion is fact. If you like the video or not it's a different question. Applause it's the most cohesive from all her videos, it's infused with homages from pre-cinematic history, It's a declaration of love to the ARTPOP concept and the way she sees herself as an artist. It's also the only video by her that it's fully attached to the concept of the album it represents (only rivaled by Born This Way Single/Album). 

PI is clearly edited like a seizure cause it is the concept (all of them look like they were on acids and the song even talks about drugs). There are many details behind the video that proves that it wasn't done just like that to avoid something. They wanted it to be like that. If don't, they could delay the video one more week and to some reshoots. -.-

It's supposed to be raw and emotional... but it doesn't convey much beyond "let's wrap up shooting in a day and get back to Burger King."

because i'm telling the truth?

Your opinion is not a fact. Not all of us should agree with you, and a lot would agree with you. But, stating your opinion as a fact is wrong. :laughga:

I'm not stating mine is either, I stated that every single opinion is different.

Girl, Gaga is ANYTHING but basic. I'm starting to wish she didn't wear crazy outfits and made extravagant music videos at the beginning of career, because now that's what people expect from her, she's not allowed to evolve or try new things :saladga:

When she did crazy things and wore outlandish outfits, she was accused of trying too hard and being fake. And now that she's more raw and is going for a more simple approach, she's basic. I swear that poor girl can't win.

OT: Bitch you really must be drunk right now.

What if tomorrow I see you again? Should I say that I used to love you?

YeehawKylie

Just Dance was her at a house party. Edge of Glory was her on a New York street. You can't have all your videos be iconic. The video fit Perfect Illusion. I honesty wouldn't expect much more as visual expression of the song. At the end of the day, all of Gaga's videos have extreme attention to detail and visuals, and I think Perfect Illusion is consistent with her previous videos.

Though i of course see why you'd be upset at face value.

Not every video she releases has to be a 12 minute dramatic film. The video should reflect the song, and I think the video does that pretty well :shrug: It's refreshingly simple. 

I want her to be authentic and genuine, no matter what that means in terms of output artistically.
