GaGa embraces the occult in her stunning "Bad Romance" video.
Music videos used to be a big deal. Back in the eighties, Michael Jackson and Madonna viewed videos as an extension of their music, an expansion of their art. Nowadays? Videos are all kind of garbage, either filled with half-naked chicks or pouty-faced, guitar-plunkin' morons. But get ready to have your socks blown off with Lady GaGa's killer vid for her brand new single "Bad Romance", off The Fame Monster, an upcoming deluxe edition of her debut, which features eight previously unreleased tracks. Part outrageously awesome dance routines and ridiculous avant-garde apparel - with a dash of eery Tim Burton-style goth thrown in for good measure - this video is where big-budget meets beauty.
As GaGa crawls out of a coffin, she is faced with sexy cyborgs donning white-leather dominatrix suits in what appears to be an S&M crematorium. She's naked, bug-eyed, and sporting a wonderful red wig. Amidst a shit-ton of costume changes and legions of back-up dancers, GaGa always manages to shine supreme.
As for the song itself? Not nearly as catchy as her past singles. But it's the video that makes it fantastic. There's no doubt GaGa is the reigning Queen of Pop. And a fabulously freaky queen, at that.
