Don't Cry for Me, Alejandro.

Has Lady GaGa fully embraced her comparisons to Madonna in her newest video, Alejandro? Is she simply a copycat with references from everything to Like A Prayer to Evita and Vogue? Or does she have another message to send - not only about Madonna but about film noir and Marlene Deitrich? You be the judge.

Man you gotta love Gaga just because when was the last time anyone cared about a new music video?

First thoughts: If I wanted to listen to Ace of Base I would dig out my cassette copy of The Sign. And then spend half an hour looking for a device that plays cassette tapes.

Remember when Lady Gaga told the Israelis to go back to Poland?

Lady Gaga is weird for people who are afraid of weird.

In the same way that Madonna was "sexy" for people who thought "slutty" was the same thing.

Not that there is anything wrong with slutty, mind you. But there's a huge distinction that Madonna helped blur.

This FPP is going to get zapped, but... Yeah, crazy. You have to admire the style! It's like she's some great nexus of memes.

I would give any important internal organ to see her legal team save Roman Polanski and get him to direct one of her videos. (PUUUUULLLLLEEEEZ???)

Oh hey, a Lady Gaga video! Neat! Is this the one where she explains how magnets work?

when will she make a video for teeth

Yes, I wonder the same thing. It's definitely my favorite song of hers.
