Ok, so you must have been living under a rock... like on an asteroid... in outta space... shooting through the infinate galaxies and milky-ways to have not seen the new Lady Gaga video [featuring beyonce].
Since it's premier on Thursday night (I think), I can only describe my viewing experience as... Hmm... one word to define and summerise my feelings caused by the video content...
INCREDIBLE!
and as for the video it's self...
PHENOMENAL!!!
From the 'Jail House Rock' prison scene to the patriotic trailor-trash denim-clag dancers, the paper-mache head-gear, to the even the use of "The Bride's" 'Pussy Wagon' from Kill Bill.
Inspired by (my favourite movi director & writer, Quentin Tarantino), the epic nine-minute whirlwind of sex, glamour, colours, glitter, violence, dance and even basic dialect, comes from director Jonas Akerlund, who Gaga teamed with on “Paparazzi” - another amazing video, in it's own right.
Seeee....
I genuinely think this could go in the Tate as a peice of moving art! Just makes me think what the hell happend in Beyonce's 'Video Phone' video... a good video, in it's own right... but next to Gaga's, its a poor man's attempt at ambitious, and failing.
Sorry Bey, I love you, but this video has it hands down - I'll be outraged if this video doesn't pick up a few gongs come awards season. However, we are only three months into the year, and definately a few ablums and videos away from prematurely declaring it 'The Best of 2010', however until then Gaga has my vote.
