Since BR? Don't you do Telephone and Alejandro dirty like that. Imo those three are all equal in terms of visual power. Everything after had pros and cons of different degrees but those TFM videos are all visually spectacular and I won't hear you besmirch them 

ok you right

(1) What? Who said that it requires superior intellect to reference something? I mean most artists do it. 

But do they integrate their reference and art hand in hand? I mean obviously, Gaga's visuals plus the reference plus the song's meaning (911 referring to pills and "emergency" situations ) plus with her current album concept. It goes beyond than just simple watching a movie and shooting the MV the following day. 

(2) Idk what are you talking about? I just said that Gaga uses this kind of stuff a lot before.

(3)  Well, i don't have anything in my defense  

1) Yes, but I saw people praising the simple fact of including references in it, more than the fact that she was using it cleverly and in an artistic way. Or that's what I understood from the comments, at least.

2) I don't even know how it started, we must have misunderstood each other at some point.

It's a brilliant video

With due respect, I really want to say before jumping on any conclusions re-watch the video, look-up the references on Google and try to understand the allegories, imageries, metaphors. It's not that hard, BAD ROMANCE has some movie-culture references and 911 has numerous historical, political, movie and art-centric references. In post-post modern era, don't feel like an Artist obliged to spoon-feed the audience. You all have some basic-plotline based videos, now GAGA has embraced her Artistic self again. Re-read her post again, please!

THIS IS THE GAGA! THIS IS STEFANI! THIS IS HER DREAM and REALITY! 

I'm so happy to get a video from her which embraces ART so much! Welcome back, honey! 

Absolutely!

The more I watch it the harder I love it 

And I think she did on putpose not having choreos or relying too much on visuals. That's what everything was expecting so of course she had to smash everyone's expectations and reinvent herself... again.

i’m sorry, but i rolled my eyes at the bolded statement. it’s pretty arrogant to compare your filmmaking with lady gaga’s choices that were certainly talked about with professionals of the business.

And isn't it condescending to decide that just because I'm smaller, I don't have knowledge about the matter ? I never said I could compare to what they did. I've just been there as a beginner, like everyone. The director and the professionals who worked on this have been in the business for years, they're way past the beginner's stage of making these choices.

[Free My Mind 2,209]

just wish those who dislike it could do so without making those who enjoy it feel like THEY are the ones missing out on a wealth of knowledge on what makes a good music video.

I love EVERYTHING about this video.. it's her best since John Wayne in my opinion.

However, I have one constructive critique -- the editing in some parts of the video felt a little off .  Other than that, this is a 10/10 <3

But I do understand everything about the video, I just dont like it

[Ricardo 7,809]

the only thing I don't really like it's the fact the girl in blue starts singing instead of Gaga, the transition from Cll to the song it's powerful, it was underwhelming to not see Gaga doing it 

and also the blatant LG sponsorship kinda broke the illusion 

also we didn't get a close up to the beautiful floral outfit at the end

Call me delusional, but I think this is the next BR (In terms of artistry)

What's so funny 

[Chromatica Island 8,517]

So whoever dislikes 911 has no taste or knows who Lady Gaga is.

Yes, when the budget is not that high and there are restrictions, you should work your way around it instead of trying to make it happen anyway. I think what makes me cringe the most is the moments when the characters fly and they just filmed them in front of a green screen and made the background move in the editing... Just remove the flying from the script, find something else that fits 

Lmao these are the best parts, the way that it moves is so pleasing and unique I wish more of this was there

Well, I know @Steven hates 911 and thinks the video is "tacky"

I mean, it’s hard putting sense in the minds of gays that only want fierceness and hard choreo and stunts and yassing all the time.

I really hope the gay community experiences a shift from these cultural practices or views and borderline (if not outright) self parodying to a queer, artistic community, with influence in progressive politics.

perhaps GGD isn’t the place for this dialectic but I hear your point!
