We only have proof of the original performance concept afaik Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can kinda tell the rest is her burnt out af but the Applause video is legit among her best imo it definitely beats most of TF and BTW ones for me and sits comfortably among her TFM peak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I don’t mean og concept I just mean she said she had like a week to do the video and was ultra rushed. The VMAs was the og concept bit. I was also a rabid stan back then too so I see where the ears perked up hahaha tbh if you ask me it was for the best (in terms of video quality) bc with so many ideas in her head at the time, basically being forced to pare down and think simple paid off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chromaticainmyhead 6,363 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 deep down this was her most vulnerable and authentic era. she was risking it all, she had so much to say. And that is so rare for artists of her caliber I think it's a shame how underrated her whole artistic vibe still is from back then fan-tas-tique, chic, freak, slaaaay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a lot of people talking about some really dark 'tortured fairy' concept but I really just think the fans made that up. Also there was that massive rumour about MTV refusing to let her do her original concept for the Applause performance but I honestly think that was made up too because it was pretty far fetched I found the link to the 'original concept'! https://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/85190950.html I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin.

You can kinda tell the rest is her burnt out af but the Applause video is legit among her best imo it definitely beats most of TF and BTW ones for me and sits comfortably among her TFM peak Of course she was burnt out.. Venus was slated to be the second single, which then got dropped because DWUW was doing huge numbers on streaming and her label wanted to pivot, they filmed a whole music video and supposedly edited it.. then it had to be thrown out for whatever reason (probably R Kelly's scandals). Apparently she wanted ARTPOP as a single too which never happened. Then so much time had passed since her one-and-only single so far of the era, so the label declared the era over and pulled funding for future videos and singles... but Gaga didn't want to give up on the ARTPOP era and kept fighting for it, so she conceptualised, directed and completely funded out of her own pocket a music video for GUY and added in the two scrapped singles at the start and made it a 'short film', and pushed for it to play on radio. But then it still didn't do too well even after all her efforts she was struggling to keep the era alive but it was a trainwreck. She wanted a mv for every song and this is where it ended u. On top of that the world was calling her a flop and half her fan base completely abandoned her for not 'delivering what they deserve' and 'lying to her fans' I can't imagine what she was going through at the time But all in all.. we got so many amazing looks, interviews, performances, visuals. We were well fed after all and I have such a fond nostalgia for that time I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
