mine:

- Born This Way is her best music video, Judas being very close.
- You & I is underrated.
- Rain On Me is her best music video from Chromatica era.
- John Wayne its amazing.

- Disease is probably her best overall music video.

- Stupid Love is overhated. It captured that Power Rangers lo-fi look well. 

- The 911 music video had a cool concept but was excuted poorly. It's overrated and one of Gaga's worst -- i don't care if the director did one good music video 200 years ago, he can't do a good one now and you can tell he's only been working on commercials.

Marry the Night MV is way too long 

I hate how in the Telephone MV the song is broken apart 

Alejandro MV “the Ale-Ale-Alejandro” part in the middle was way too long

Million Reasons MV was a horrible concept 

GUY MV is not that good

Bad Romance’s video is good but hardly on the level of her other videos VISUALLY. Id say Telephone is actually the best from the era and in the top 3 of her music videos.

i still have no clear concept of story for most of her videos except for maybe 3. Fan theories on stories make them more exciting like that one BR plot theory I read on Tumblr in 2012

As far as concepts, visuals, story telling, cultural impact and everything. Telephone and Judas definitely up there more so than even Bad Romance.

A very unpopular opinion is probably that Gaga’s not particularly known for or compared to back in the day anyway, amazing music videos. The music and the fashion is always the focus. Look at TEOG video the concept and the execution are awful but the fashion and the song in said video are amazing.

Marry the night is an absolute masterpiece and is one of Gaga's most impressive artistic achievements. I don't think this is an unpopular opinion but it deserves to be said 

Alejandro is a close second. Absolutely stunning.

Every video from the Chromatica era is mid, Rain on Me being the best one

911 is a good concept but it's overrated. It’s basically the director's concept and the fact that it’s a pastiche of an existing movie that has no relation to Gaga dilutes the message of using art to escape trauma. I do appreciate that it's the video that made her feel creative again but in an alternate reality it could have been a lot more "her" (that could be said about Chromatica as a whole. Still good, just missing the Gaga flair) 

The Joanne videos being connected was actually a cute idea.

Don't know if these are unpopular opinions, but I've always felt MTN was one of her greatest videos and it doesn't get talked about nearly enough. And tho I do enjoy parts of it, I've always felt the G.U.Y. video was objectively an absolute mess :oops:

Bad Romance video is obviously good but a tad overrated

- Stupid Love mv is good music video. Very vibrant, cool and fun video that represents song, album and whole 90s cyber futurism vibe very well.

- Disease mv is one of her best videos. It's simple, but very effective. Very eerie and scary vibes (with lack of people in video), but that's the point.

- her short film music videos (911, Marry The Night, Telephone and G.U.Y.) are absolutely her best videos, aesthetically and quality vise.

Most of Gaga's music videos are poorly edited – especially the longer ones :neyde:

I'd say that the G.U.Y music video is very overrated by the fans. Hearst Castle is a stunning location, but what she chose to do with it was a tacky, confused mess of different ideas and aesthetics. Some parts were great and she looked STUNNING throughout, but the whole thing just doesn't come together. It's like she knew this was her last chance to do an ARTPOP visual so she just crammed all her different ideas into one blender. It's total overkill.

In defence of TEOG that wasn't meant to be the video, didn't the director walk out or something and they rushed this last minute :neyde:

The Abracadabra music video is excellent, but I wish they had hired a professional director / photographer to film and edit it. Gaga and Parris did a decent job, but I strongly believe it would've looked even more impressive if the likes of Stephen Klien had directed it, since it's very Stephen Klien coded. 

I'm fine, Ta
