PhantomOfTheDance 13,785 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 it's very nostalgic and brings me back to my childhood, but in an objective answer, i think it's because it's futuristic and has a different form of storytelling compared to the mvs before bad romance or paparazzi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyerased 2,879 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 She definitely had better videos, but I’d argue that Bad Romance is one of the most perfectly executed videos of all time. It just has the right amount of everything. There may have been bigger spectacles but they weren’t as effective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so minimal and streamlined, yet filled with so much juxtaposition, symbolism and creativity. The fashion, choreography and creative direction feel futuristic yet also ageless and classic. The images throughout are just very striking and captivating. subtext / fantasy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
holy scheisse 22,110 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Also on a vapid note it was the first time she ditched the Gaga bangs lol but maybe that’s not so vapid cuz as we later learned she felt like her bangs were something to hide behind. Meaning she was feeling confident and vulnerable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dove 528 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 1 hour ago, qoqo said: how its perceived as one of the best music videos of all time, like, it's not even in gaga's top 10... It became one of the best of all time because of the impact it had at that moment! And although you find the eyes tacky etc, everyone was talking about the big eyes, the way her spine looked on some shots, the last scene, etc. The video itself felt fresh and bold and new. Add to that how amazing the song is by itself. Now, to answer your question, of course some of her other videos are better, more produced, etc, just as you said, but they didn't have the same impact, and that's what makes bad romance one of the best of all time. It's for a reason it was the most watched video of all time on youtube at that period. So yea, to be one of the best of all time it has to have impact. Now if you want to make a top 10 of gaga's videos on quality, production, etc, then thats another topic, but the bad romance video is THAT b*tch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing Shadow 1,171 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 the video was soooooo bold back then "I hope that you will love me in this way For who I am—not then—but for today" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
