The Much-Hyped Lady Gaga “Bad Romance” Video Has Finally Arrived

And you know what? I love it. Is it un-hip in the world of snark to love Lady Gaga? Maybe, but I kind of do. I love this song, and I love the creative fashion in this video. I sometimes get annoyed with her running off to parties and awards shows in her avant-garde garb, but a music video is exactly where that shit belongs, and she pulls it off here with panache. The bathtub scene kind of reminds me of that scene in Britney’s “Everytime” video, but much cooler. And make sure to stay tuned until the last shot, which is hilarious and awesome.

Can someone tell me what she’s saying during the French part? Is that even French? I took a semester in college, but, ya know, I was pretty drunk in college. Actually, I took that final wasted — because who the fuck schedules a final exam at 8:30 pm on a Friday and expects a 19-year-old me to show up sober, right? — and got the highest score in the class. I was, like, Parisian that night. I do much better with foreign languages when I’m drunk, apparently. But I’m sober right now, so I have no idea what she’s saying.

    • Speak for yourself. Lady Gaga is awesome at doing what she does best- make great music and even more fantastic music videos.

      • Please May, great music videos I can’t argue (because I wouldn’t know how to), but great music? I understand the “catchy” aspect of some of these prefabricated pop-py songs, but to call it great music is far from the truth. I respect your taste and Beet’s and everyone else’s but this is not great music.

      • agree with anon. now i wouldn’t say lady gaga’s music is great but it is entertaining, catchy and fun, and that’s what pop music is, essentially.

        gaga is starting to grow on me though. as fabricated as it might be, she certainly knows how to grab everyone’s attention. she’s the new cher but crazier!

        LOVE THE VID. try watching it on mute…pretty cool.

    • How can you say that was original? She uses choreography right out of Beyonce, Shakira, Britney, and Michael Jackson’s videos.

      • …… OMG there are only so many moves in the world of dancing of course your going to see them over and over again stupid

  • Fabulous. Eccentric. Perfect for her and somehow fits the music as well. I can’t get enough of the shoes! Love it!

  • Wow. This might be the first time I’ve thought she’s looked pretty.
    Loving the McQueen heels, and I’m thinking she’s lost a lot of weight.

    • oh gosh yeah i remember watching the show and thinking “if anyone wears those shoes it’s gonna be lady gaga”

      and i love her, and this video

      as of right now she’s way more successful than taylor swift on the charts, and i don’t think people realize it because all they think is “that bitch is crazy!”

  • I have to agree with the weight loss. She was never fat but now she’s maybe even too skinny. especially if she keeps losing weight. About the French part – even as a person who’s never studied French I could tell you what that meant :). It was too obvious not to guess.

    ~LIA~
    P.S. This must be the only piece of work from the Gaga collection which I actually like

    • Actually I thought that to during the video. But when I paid closer attention I noticed that her ‘skinny’ is fake. It’s part of the art direction. Her spine is sticking out of her back in a way that only copious makeup can achieve. I think it’s part of the ‘I’m obessed, so obessed I cant even eat’ theme.

      • Well, it’s obvious in those bathtub parts that the skinny was deliberate… but don’t you notice in those dance scenes where she’s wearing a barely there suit? She’s lost some curves.

      • I thought that too at first. But if you watch the video closer, you will notice theirs a ‘monster’ her and then just normal her… if gaga is ever normal lol. The monster side as written on the coffins, is bug-eyed and very very thin with a very long torso, too tiny waist and popped out spine. But the rest of her in the video isn’t warped and she actually did lose weight. You can see it in her video with beyonce as well ‘video phone’.

  • I really really want to like Lady Gaga … her fashion sense is extraordinary, and she has a vibe I should sync to. I realized that the reason I don’t like her songs is that the lyrics are always crap. This song is no exception. I like the video, but I can’t get into it because of the weird and stupid lyrics. Same for Paparazzi –I watched the extended version, and felt like I should have loved it, especially with Skarsgaard’s participation, but the lyrics again were so stupid. If they were just tweaked a little!

  • “make great music” and this ga-ga whatever can’t even go together in the same page of text.
    Good grief, she sucks.

  • You people have HORRIBLE taste in music. You should really be ashamed of yourselves.

    And Beet, comparing Britney’s epic video to this attention-seeking trash? And calling it cooler? You’re an AWFUL fan and seriously, for this comment, go play a little russian roulette.

    I hope you don’t miss.

    Cunt.

    • That is really rude and uncalled for.

      Lady Gaga is actually pretty catchy, the lyrics to her song may not be oh-so-wonderful but the unique beat and rhythm plus style she puts into the songs and music videos are fun and enjoyable.

      No need to be a bitter twat about it all. If you honestly don’t like Beet for this, then just move on to another gossip site. =/

    • Wow someone has their panties in a bunch. We get it, you didn’t like the song, but man you don’t have to have a huge hissyfit about it. Seriously? Your gonna call someone a cunt for liking a music video? Britney’s “epic” video? Oh yeah because Britney Spears always has quality music videos…..not. I wish these assholes would stay over at perez’s site.

    • Just ignore Anonymous as he’s obviously an angry little homo that is just crying out for the attention his mommy never gave the whiny little shitbag.

  • I don’t want to like her or this song, but I do. The video is so damn cool and I like the tune. Sometimes I feel like she tries to hard to be different, but this time it was perfect.

  • I find her ridiculous…and fantastic. I love that she’s bringing her weirdness into the mainstream’s consciousness.

  • I love this video but I started to really like Lady Gaga when I saw a couple of videos of her performing her songs acoustically, without all the special effects. She has a great voice; she can really sing (ahem, Britney) and I think her synth pop sound doesn’t do her talent justice.

  • did anyone catch the alfred hitchcock reference??
    “i want you PSYCHO, your VERTIGO stick”

    anyhow cool video, i thought she was looking pretty good, until i realized it was just cgi (2:26) which is a bummer

  • Wow, this was like a scene out of a Fellini movie, set to an 80s soundtrack. Having said that, the music itself was rather meh.

    • OH MY GOD people, enough with the fucking ‘meh’ bullshit. It’s one of those words that make you want to bitch slap the bimbo that just said it…..Why don’t you just drag your fingernails down a chalkboard.

  • I never liked GaGa. I remember the “Hills” episode when Audrina had to do a promo party with her and nobody knew who she was. Yeah, I watch crappy tv too. But then I saw Lady G’s SNL live performance. Girl can sing. That’s the difference between her and Britney. Britney needs to lip synch, GaGa has pipes.

  • When she’s in the bathtub with her enormous eyes, she looks like those animals on greeting cards which have their eyes made all huge and strange.

  • Love. It. What an awesome video and soo totally creative. It wasn’t one of those think of one great idea and just repeat it over and over again for 3 minutes sort of thing, it was tons of awesome ideas one after another keeping your full attention the entire time. The lizard part was cool. Way to go Gaga!

  • Maybe this is just me, but when she doesn’t have on pounds and pounds of makeup, just some mascara and lipstick, and not the bright red she normally rocks. She’s actually really pretty. Honestly, I was kinda surprised.

  • she is getting more and more skinny every day
    watch her first performances, and compare it to her new look
    really really different
    and of course there is the fake spine shot and all, as part of AD
    but she IS for sure shrinking

  • Um, she acually says ‘j’adore l’amour, et je veux ton revenge’. ‘Revenge’ isn’t technically a word in French, but uh. That’s what she says. Revanche -is- basically the French translation of revenge, but that’s not what she says. If you ignore that and translate it, she said ‘I love love, and I want your revenge’.

  • I don’t know what it is about Lady Gaga that fascinates me. Normally I hate pop music and the overly eccentric, but I’m becoming a fan! Damn her.
    And for as much as people rip on her because of her over the top style, I think the world could use a little more sparkly. Fashion is fun and I love me a sequin or two.

  • je veux ton amour et je veux ton revance je veux ton amour although she misses the veux in the first and third line.it means i want your love and i want your revenge, i want your love

  • i love the video and the song. i love all her songs. her music are always songs you can get up and dance too. its just too hot!! but what i can t stand it the amount of weight she lost. ugh!!! her face in the video looks like a man. c’mon lady gaga dont tell me your turning into the next Amy Winehouse gosh!!! let me remind you people tv adds 10 pounds, now think about it imagine how she really looks, and im not talking about the part where you see her spine.

  • I want your love and I want your revenge I want your love I don’t wanna be friends
    Je veux ton amour et je veux ta revanche Je veux ton amour, je ne veux pas être l’ami
    real translation for what she says (it repeats)(not shown)^

  • I was just chatting with my coworker about this the other day at lunch . Don’t know how in the world we got on the topic actually , they brought it up. I do recall eating a excellent fruit salad with sunflower seeds on it. I digress…

  • Seeing a few of your blogposts I seriously found this specific one to be very good. I’ve a weblog also and would wish to repost a few snips of your articles in my blog site. Would it be ok if I do this as long I reference your site or generate a back link towards the article I procured the snip from? If not I understand and would not do it with out your acceptance . I have book marked this valuable post to twitter as well as myspace account for reference. Anyhow appreciate it either way!

  • You also need to avoid carbohydrate rich foods, oily foods, highly processed and canned foods
    and foods in which treated with vivid white flour.

    Maintain sugar, since zinc increases insulin response and carries sudden rise and fall in the
    blood sugar level level, which is probably even more dangerous.
