I may have been hesitant at first, not being won over by the "I'm drunk in the club" Just Dance (which now seems like it was recorded by another artist) or Pokerface at first, but The Curmudgeon is now a fully fledged Lady Gaga fan. When she performed on the X Factor in December, cutting back to the banal, grinning idiots that we're supposed to accept as "pop stars" was like some sick joke. Lady Gaga is THE pop star we've been crying out for, a world removed from the soul-less, boring drivel spun out by Cowell and co. As I've said before, the best pop stars (Prince, MJ, Bowie, Madonna) all seem like they're from another, far cooler planet - and Gaga can easily fit that description. Anyway, you won't see this full uncut video on MTV, in that it shows full frontal nudity, (with just a little bit of blurring), use of the word "motherfucker" and a recipe for poison that has fictional ingredients found in the Command and Conquer games and the Star Wars universe. See, she even loves the geeks. The song is decent enough, if no classic, but the video really needs to be seen. And it's a ten minute beast, to boot. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ95z6ywcBY&feature=video_response

"I told you she didn't have a dick." Well played, madame.
Whoa. I have GOT to get me a job as a C.O. in one of these women's prisons. All right. Fine. I know you want me to say it. I'll admit it. GaGa has herself a new fan. She's done the impossible and made me love a current trendy pop star. That video was just made entirely out of awesome. Pop music + grindhouse cred = win. Who knew?

Hey, I'm all for embracing the mainstream if it's as inventive as this. What I'm not keen on is the fact her new concerts have literally doubled in price now she's a huge deal. Probably not her fault, I guess, but still a kick in the balls for any actual fans. You might know this, Trashy; have you seen her last video, Bad Romance? www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrO4YZeyl0I&feature=relatedAny idea what that's supposed to be referencing? Are they supposed to be vampires? "Bath Haus?" Mrs C figures she's supposed to be getting an exorcism, but that's got to be her spin on something.. but what?

Wow. That was a mishmash. Girl likes her cyberpunk. I got pieces of Clockwork Orange, Soylent Green, THX, and some other stuff I can't even recall offhand. Very cool. Anyways, running to the mainstream is the epitome of lame. But when the mainstream comes to you, that's the definition of cool.

Isn't she clearly referencing DRACULA?

She isn't CLEARLY referencing anything, but she's vaguely referencing everything under the sun. Besides the coffins (not exactly exclusive to Drac), where did you get Dracula from, Wolman?

The hand movements in it, but I guess she could also be referencing the original NOSFERATU.
