Miel 15,009 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I'm so sad Government Hooker, Scheisse, and Electric Chapel won't ever be singles. They were the best songs on the album. :confuse: There's still chance on another single (low, though). It's probably gonna either be HML or Scheiße, if another single is chosen. Which makes me sad, I'd honestly rather Electric Chapel or Americano. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benji 20,113 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Each video has had it's good bits but I think the editing has been poor this era, some scenes have been just thrown in for no real reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OMGArmond Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Gives birth to millions of children & a gun.

Dreamscape1896 0 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 How do I say, the videos this era just seemed... lackluster . . . This was supposed to be Gaga's era of dominance, with ultimate expression and controversy. Judas was beautiful yes, but where was the point? Where was the controversy? Controversy is good, we need it, but Judas was treated to typically. It was controversy-lite, to say the least, when she might have needed a little. The Born This Way video could have been amazing. She really could have made a statement about self-love and love of others. Her lyric, "Same DNA" is a beautiful one that truly drives home a fundamental point, but her music video is, again, lack-luster. Even Marry The Night, for all it's glory, feel uninspired once the music starts playing. Videos like Bad Romance, Paparazzi, and Alejandro were deep, dark, beautiful, and drove home points. They were exciting, fresh, creative, and wild. The videos this era seemed a bit more - dulled down, if that's the right phrase. I am not judging. Gaga does what she wants and it is her vision, but I would like to know exactly what her vision was for this era, to be honest... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrancoRedHawk 35 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I have loved the video's this era. Yes, I would have preferred The Edge of Glory to have mermaids but I just have to deal with the fact it doesn't. At least The Edge of Glory video was different from anything she had previously done. Born This Way - amazing video. Futuristic, interesting story, completely different and enchanting. Beautifully shot and directed. Judas - a real work of art. Visually stunning, controversial, great story. One of her best ever videos. The Edge of Glory - simple and plain but I like the video for sentimental value as it was just Gaga and Clarence and he died shortly after. You And I - a bit all over the place but that distortion is part of the attraction. Introduced/continued many iconic new looks (Jo Calderone, Yuyi) and the setting is beautiful. Plus, we get full brunette Gaga for the first time and she looks stunning. Marry The Night - honest, real, intense, beautiful, perfect. The best video of her career. Directed so amazingly and it has such at atmospheric feel especially in the hospital scenes. It's like a real movie and it is done so well that you really feel like you are on a journey with Gaga and rooting for her. It don't think they lack "epic moments". There are so many memorable things in the video's this era. In Born This Way she gave birth to a new race of humanity, introduced the prosthetic bones and skeleton make-up which became iconic. In Judas she was stoned to death and everybody was talking about the water scene and the lipstick gun. In You And I she kisses her own face which mind****ed everybody who watched it and turned into a mermaid. In Marry The Night the cheerios scene will be particularly remembered as well as the hospital scenes and the flaming cars. The Born This Way era has been great for video's. My thoughts exactly!

sciencemonster 31 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Yeah...as she said before dropping BTW: This album is not for the charts, I could easily make one and there is no doubt about it, I made this album for my fans." and when you open BTW CD you see THIS RECORD IS FOR U - there wasn't sentence like this in TF/M I interpreted the ü to represent lüc. Is that not part of it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adakam 2 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I liked the whole BTW era, fashion and music,... But there was ONE thing that wasn't as good as the previous era's: the Music Video's... (except Judas and a bit Marry The Night) And I know why they weren't as good as Paparazzi/Bad Romance/Telephone! Those video's didn't have an as great storyline and they missed the very important EPIC moment in the video, for example: - Gaga burns the man in the Bad Romance Video - Gaga and Bey poisoned the café and start dancing in amazing and iconic clothes in Telephone - Gaga kills her boyfriend in the Paparazzu Video These video's wouldn't be as good without these scenes... Yoü And I for example had great fashion, but there was no storyline in the video... What do you think? Discuss!!! I guess that for you, killing = storyline Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Economy 49,843 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Actualy You and I did have a story line, but it was so symbolic and complicated that the vcast majority of ppl would not have understood it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flora 695 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Judas > Marry the Night >>>>> You and I >>> Born This Way >>>>>>>>> dog **** >>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Hooker on Sesame Street.

Miel 15,009 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Maybe I just irrationally stan for it, but I don't get why people see BTW as lackluster. At all. Actualy You and I did have a story line, but it was so symbolic and complicated that the vcast majority of ppl would not have understood it It was an extremely simple storyline with multiple, huge and obscure metaphors (love yourself before anything else/you must love all parts of me to love me). But I think it worked well; it opened up a door to creativity, even if it ended up being a bit choppy. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
