A casual viewer would get none of the references and metaphors in the video, while Telephone has a strong plot and storyline. a storyline and plot that was all over the place and chops the song up into pieces it really isn't that hard to decode Applause lol music videos don't need storylines and plots to be good https://goo.gl/xMgMvJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
