I wouldn't change anything about the video. Not the swan, nothing. It's good BECAUSE it's so crazy and out there.

Set a screen shot from this video as the wallpaper in all of my schools computers :clap: #putyourhandsupgetdatpromo

Maybe the swan's meaning is that once she was an ugly duckling (The start of her career) finding someone to love her and/or support her since nobody liked her (GP) and she slowly kept becoming better and better throughout the years, finally everyone thought she was an ugly duck but she became a magnificent swan of which all the other ducks and swans love.

Oh, I just figured since that was the Koons part of the song he did something artistic with a swan and she was using that to reference him.

I can't stand how people compare others videos with GaGa's.

who else would come up with something like this? Nobody! It's always "look at me dancing in a club" and "Oh look, I'm making out with a hot guy".

At no point has anybody said, "Ok, put my head on a swans body"

That is why I love GaGa. She is creative and most of her videos have meaning behind them (e.g. The scene with her carrying the leg)

I agree with all of that!

Plus it's short so the GP can't have any qualms there. :shrug:

The video is SO GOOD. Only thing I wish is that there was more of the purple lady in the tunnel (god that sounds weird) and more just awesome shots that lasted for a little longer so u could just gaze at the scene (like the opening to BR video).

I think the GP will love the video because she finally seems to have fun and doesn't take herself too serious. Just as in the telephone video. They don't want dark monologues as in Marry The Night.

Every time I see that swan it reminds me of that amazing movie Black Swan with Natalie Portman. I love it.

Before we go into the details of this piece of art, let’s take a moment to appreciate that in spite of a slew of negativity online and criticism from the broadest spectrum of individuals you could even imagine, from anonymous trolls to leading journalists combined with sales figures that have been subsequently affected by this (and the fact that the global public isn’t able to relate to a high concept track about fame as much as they can various self-empowerment anthems), Lady Gaga was still given the honour, hype and prestige of premiering the video for APPLAUSE on Good Morning America – creating a national (and global) pop culture moment reminiscent of Madonna, Britney and Michael.
Directed by Inez & Vinoodh, the video for APPLAUSE goes back to (and outdoes) the high concept world of The Fame Monster (Bad Romance, Alejandro) and to a certain extent the commercial for The Fame (fragrance). Every shot as enigmatic as the last, with her facial expressions and choreography throughout, the clip contains bountiful references to her official body of work (reaching five years this week) and unofficial body of work (with one look referencing Stefani Germanotta of Electric Kiss and Captivated fame). The iconography of the burnt our Fame Monster yellow wig look to the reincarnation of Shiva on the catwalk to the Daphne Guinness style green jacket and colour painted black swan Meret Oppenheim-esque rebirth (my favourite) are all incredibly telling visions demonstrating once more that Gaga is the most self-aware popstar in the history of time. :clap: :clap: :clap:
