DiskoBaby 1,929 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I just love this video But a lot of fans seem dissapointed by it. I've been a fan since Just Dance and to me this is quintessential Gaga. The song and video all seem to be a throwback of her discography. The beat sounding like Do What You Want and the chord progression reminds me of Born This Way. The production gives me The Fame era teas sounding like a throwback to her earlier hits. It has a retro 80s sound while also sounding futuristic. The video looks like it was shot in the 80s of how they pictured people in the 2020s future would look like. Then the music video. The metallic metal face gear is a throwback to Poker Face and Bad Romance music videos. The reference to love like in Bad Romance. The theme of an alien planet reminds me of Born This Way how that video was supposed to look alien. It's like a flamboyant scifi movie that I never knew I wanted. Aestically, this is how I wanted the videos to Born This Way and the ARTPOP era to look like. Fun and colorful with lots of choreography and costumes. Just think about it, neither Born This Way or Applause really looks like how the songs sound. They're upbeat and camp and dancy but the videos are so dark and serious. I wanna pretend this is the ARTPOP aesthetic we never got. That this was the Born This Way video we should've gotten. I actually like the video to Born This Way but the intro was more interesting then the video when the song starts playing. This is what Stupid Love corrects for me. It's fun and camp and doesn't take itself seriously. She have the dancers dressed up as the colors of the rainbow almost representing the LGBT flag. All these different tribes in conflict coming together. People of different races and body types dancing together. I wanna see more of these tribes and of Chromatica in her future videos. She looks like the sailor moon anime alien princess I always wanted her to be. Alien but not weird and grotesque like the horns from Born This Way. Fun and carefree without the pretentiousness to art like in Applause. The pink wig and outfits. I am all here for it. And I love that she's dancing throughout the whole video. I'm loving the choreography. Some are dissapointed that it was shot on an iPhone. But let's appreciate that technology has come so far that music videos with such a high production can look that good from a phone. When I read the comments on YouTube there's mostly good things said about it. She's spreading a message of peace and love and diversity for each other. Let's appreciate how Lady Gaga is such a positive person. It might not be her best video but it's the look and aesthetic and aura I always wanted to see from her. I really don't care about the charts or how successful it was to her other songs. She's making the music she wants and that's what matters. Also let's make it to 100k streams. It really deserves it.

Allan 3,919 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 These days I was thinking about this video and the only things I would change, assuming I'd keep the overall concept and aesthetics, are a proper recording equipment and maybe 1 or 2 extra days so they could've been able to organize the shoots in a way that doesn't look like the natural lighting is different every second. If they didn't keep it so minimalistic production-wise, the video would've had easily looked too childish with all the different tribes and stuff.

auburn 1,072 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I think the video had a great idea but the execution was really bad. I'm actually surprised it got approved. It's too basic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BABYL0N 3,164 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 One of her best for me always reminds me of Michael Jackson dancing in the desert in Black Or White and even though it‘s not a high budget video it‘s always fun to watch we finally got GAGA back with choreography and looks with this video, haters will appreciate it later as always Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chromatica Island 8,517 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I love the video as well, I think it was genius to shoot on an iphone tbh, it has people talking. It is very fame meets born this way meets ARTPOP, which I love! #justiceforstupidlove! I did expect the hate from this website tho, the youtube comments are way better and kinder.

JRCF29 8,219 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I see you're in the mood to get dragged in my opinion the MV is good, but it's not her best (that would be Telephone) I think it fits the song and the outfits are very cool. I also like the introduction to the space/planet Chromatica theme. In short she's cute but not that cute Don't Call Me Gaga Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noir 17,695 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 The video is cute, sure it's not my favourite video or single at all but fans think it's the worst thing she's ever put her name too and with MR in her videography, SL is a clear improvement. Also the choreography has grown on me and I love how happy she looks!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Digaga 975 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I like this video ! It has great looks and choreo. It get bashed for being shot on iPhone but, even if it would have looked better with a professional camera, it doesn't look that bad. Too bad we only have a 1080p 24 fps version while iPhones can shot at 4K 60 fps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisseth 427 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I really like the song, it's very upbeat and it lightens up my mood every time I hear it. (I think it also makes me more productive, so I listen to it whenever I feel to lazy to do my job). The video is nice, it's very colorful. It's not the kind of artistic video everyone was expecting from Gaga, but it was very nice, and it came off really well to be shot on an iPhone. Also the futuristic concept was not too excessive. I may not be a music video expert, but I really liked it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
