Gagaloo is back!!! Not that she ever left, but her last video for The Edge of Glory, was nicely shot and lit and smokey and all that jazz but it was kinda boring. Where were the extreme costume changes? The slew of back up dancers? The nonsensical plot that takes reading the video's Wikipedia article to understand? We found them! They're all present in the video for GaGa's latest single, Yoü and I, just released today. Featured in the video are typical GaGa elements like torture devices, statuesque costumes, metaphors that go completely over my head the first ten times around, and and of course an army of scantily-clad back up dancers getting it to Laurieann Gibson's choreography mixed in with what are sure to be future GaGa staples: Cross Dressing, Mermaids and yes, Mermaid Sex. Seriously. No Joke. Here are six things to love about the you and I music video:
6. Best Hitchhiking Costume Ever
I have unfortunately had a few experiences when I've been lost in the wrong part of town and you could obviously tell by my outfit (and latte in hand.) While I have always felt unsafe, uncomfortable and extremely out of place Gaga struts down a dirt filled prairie highway in a couture creation complete with metal arm pieces and crazy high platforms heels and completely owns it. Who else does that? Talk about bringing the catwalk to the sidewalk.
5. GaGa Getting Married
I'm sure we've all wondered what Gaga would be like as a doting wife and mother. We get a small glimpse of her tackling the domestic life and see her getting married in the middle of the woods and throwing the bouquet to God knows who. Surprisingly the nuptials come off as simple and laid back. Well, as simple and laid back as a Gaga wedding can be. Her gown isn't over the top and looks great on her. But only her. No one else could make that work.
4. Jo Calderone
Gaga's male alter ego, Jo Calderone is kinda like Bob Dylan meets John Travolta in Grease, if only the Greasers were actually bad ass and would
3. Mermaids
Forget Alien Sex, we get feted to Mermaid Sex! One of the things that most disappointed me about the Edge of Glory video was the alleged mermaid costume that went unused. Here it's put to great use, where Gaga looks a bit like Madonna in her very own music video dedicated to mermaid love, Cherish. Madge however did not engage in full in sexual intercourse with a mermaid, so Gaga takes the cake on this one.
2. Make Up Free GaGa
I've always said that Gaga looks best without all the facial prosthetics and makeup. She proves me right looking absolutely breathtaking before crazily playing piano in the middle of a cornfield and then making out with herself.
1. The Return of All Things Batshit Crazy
For a while, Gaga mellowed out. We need the crazy! Glad it's back.
