Less is more Gaga

What’s the noise: Lady Gaga courts controversy once again in the visually stunning music video for her new single, Bad Romance.
The eccentric 23-year-old singer is seen lying in a burnt bed with a skeleton, writing naked in a bathhouse and cavorting around in little more than a thong.
Lady Gaga told MTV that the video is meant to project her ‘tough female spirit’ and showcases her ‘weirdest, most psychotic ideas’.
What we say: Frankly, we don’t expect anything less from Her Gaganess.
I’m not sure if this is her best video to date (that would be Paparazzi), but it certainly is nothing short of amazing.
The fashion-forward wardrobe, creative choreography, catchy ’80s hook – I loved every minute of the drama!
But what’s most notable is a rare close-up of her face, stripped of the over-the-top make-up, shades, wigs and headgear that has become her uniform.
And she actually looks… pretty.
Now THAT could be the most shocking thing about the video.
What people say:
‘I have never seen a performer who has to try so hard for attention.’
– K8
‘Would love to see her and Adam Lambert do something together, that would be awesome!’
– Penny
