For reasons unknown, I am seriously bothered by Lady Gaga and the Gagasmic obsession spreading across the nation faster than herpes in a frat house. I used to think that watching her strut her stuff sporting an outfit made of plastic bags accompanied by a monocle and a bird on her head was the most disturbing thing since Marilyn Manson. However, Gaga’s ’Alejandro’ video proved me dreadfully wrong. Even more disturbing than her in full homeless-wear is her not wearing any costume at all. I caught the video out of the corner of my eye while at the gym and nearly fell off my treadmill in shock. Her nearly nude dancing in this video is nothing more shocking than something you would see in a Britney or Rihanna video, but I am so accustomed to seeing Gaga in full get-up that without her costumes she reminded me of a gyrating naked mole rat. I shuddered through the entire duration of the video, which was impressive as it lasts nearly nine minutes! To be fair, I must give her and her dance team props for their creative dancing and androgynous bedroomesque moves. However, being talented doesn’t mean you’re not terrifying. Pushing gender boundaries and making bold religious statements (deep-throating a rosary and wearing a cross on her crotch), Gaga continues to make a statement, and seriously freak my freak. And that’s all that I have to say about that.
Jesus God! Lady Gaga is like a psychotic fembot(aka Ausitin Powers)…complete with machine gun breasts. Alejandro is better off without lady ‘gaggers’ and should go hide from her love in hot hot Mexico.
Right on, Ben. Say, do you have a girlfriend?
I can’t stand the music, however I enjoy how provocative this is. I didn’t particularly want to see an army of androgynous monks dancing before, but team gaga somehow managed to entertain me for 9 minutes.
Hannah Hoch would be proud. Gaga is modern Dada.
