Video of the Year



The video of the year is Bad Romance, About two weeks agao the MTV music awards were awarded to the best music videos. Lady Gaga was nominated a record breaking thirteen times this year. That night she took home a record breaking eight moon men awards. Seven of them were awards for one music video in particular, Bad Romance. The video gove over five thousand view in the first minute it was put on Youtube. This music video is by far the best work she has done and the best music video I have ever seen. Because of this video, the music industry and the new pop starrs all trying a lot harder to make the next great video for thier fans to make art or political statements.
The music video's deeper meaning is about human trafficking, but with a pop twist of high fashion, pyrotechnic bras and twleve inch high heels. A dark room is shown and a light comes in and shados white futuristic coffins in which one of them have the word "monster" spelled out on it. Then a claw pops out of one and they all emerge from the coffins in all white latex outfits. We see Lady Gaga in a white tub with huge eyes with large pupils and she is being drugged so they could sell her to a Russian mob boss. She is forced to preform for the mob boss and his associates and is bought by the boss. At the end she is walking towards him and takes off her clothes ready to do the deed sudenly the bed goes up in flames. She is later seen in red lengerie and all the lights are turned off when the song is over. At the end we see Lady Gaga on the burned bed with a skeleton next to her and she is wearing a bra that shoots out sparks with a cigarette in her mouth.
Lagy Gaga had rejuvenated the pop industry. New and old artist are going to start trying a lot harder in thier music videos because the success of Lady Gaga's Bad Romance music video. The Wall Street Journal noted Gaga as one of the few pop starts of present time who really understands "spectacle, fashion, shock, choreogrpahy- all the things Madonna and Michael Jackson were masters of in the 1980's. Bad Romance will be in line with all those great music videos like Thriller and Like a Prayed. She has yet to disappoint.

Lady GaGa is so amazing. I don't know how she keeps coming up with new things. The choreography in "Bad Romance" is spectacular. I would have been surprised if she didn't win those thirteen awards. She is definitely going to make all other artists out there work harder.
