The only good about the Rain On Me video are the looks. But looks aren't enough to carry a video

What about amazing choreo, as well as effortless editing transitions in the mirror-like scenes, and the general poetic and metaphoric nature of the video?

It's literally just two pop singers dancing in front of a green screen. There's nothing noteworthy about it, again except for the looks 

But then again, it's hard for it to fail when it doesn't even try.

The video is visually and conceptually perfect and well made.

The problem is that you don't have taste

Sorry no... the production, the special effects, the outfits, the choreography, the set, the concept, the storyline... everything about is incredible. Its not just a green screen dance video, its much more than that

Is there a question about it?

Go on Golderby in the VMA thread, everyone is saying it'll be in VOTY and probably win it. They're not necessarily Gaga stans.

besides bad romance alejandro and maybe judas i dont see a better video  definitely  top 3-4 

Maybe Telephone, Marry the Night, Born this way, G.U.Y, paparrazzi and You and I? 
But I agree in a sense, still a great MV  

[Bon Gonzalez 2,221]

It SHOULD win the VOTY. I don't know a better video.

I wouldn't call the choreo amazing. That editing was nothing out of the ordinary and calling the video poetic seems like a stretch

I feel like this might be Gaga's most overrated video. I will never be able to understand those who think that it's one of her top 10 best videos. Paparazzi, Poker Face, Telephone, Bad Romance, Alejandro, Born This Way, Marry The Night, You and I, Applause, G.U.Y., even John Wayne, are all better.

It's definitely Top 10

Oh I could go on with things like rain of daggers, metaphor for battling with alcohol, Ariana's bee-like wings and them dancing in the stadium paying homage to the Manchester bombing etc. but in the end, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I'm just sorry that the video doesn't give you all the feelings that it got me

telephone is one of the most overrated videos and songs in her discography to me at least , I dont see anything extraordinary about it.

the other videos except you and I and paparazzi (I dont find them that good) are amazing, 99% of her videos are iconic and amazing so in the end it's just personal taste I guess.

Rain on me is one of the most ambitious videos she has made so it deserves a spot in her top 5 to me at least. 

[Rio 5,088]

I feel the exact same. The video is both dark in its themes and euphorically optimistic too. It invokes a RANGE of emotions.

I never come out with statements like the following but it's the most iconic female collaboration of all-time. Or, I hope it becomes that. I just hope it sticks with the GP, I always have my doubts, despite this initial impact. Telephone was a cultural reset, but this - THIS right here, it's not just a collaboration. It's a perfectly timed, much needed, highly relevant and empowering song. It's also different from what Gaga has done before, the sound at least. It's very current sounding, with a 90s house throwback. Her falsetto high notes in it too, are new for her (not counting Ally's pop bops).

Well it's not that the Stupid Love is bad in any way, but ROM is really superior
