Too bad the music is awful. I mean, is this really the new Thriller? Thriller was a nice track that I liked even without the video. Same goes for a lot of successful pop before the last era of commercialism that started in the mid 90s. 
Thriller is a good comparison, I hadn't even thought of that, but Telephone is even stranger because the video seems to be unconnected to the lyrics, except for the weird mind control thing. And to be honest, I would rather watch Telephone than Thriller or Radio Ga Ga. I would say that "objectively" it is no more or less awful than pop music from any other period, but at least it's my kind of awful.

That's a problem with gender studies, not music.

If you don't see the problem with a celebrity showing her vagina in a music video I don't know what to say. The reason she did it at all was because of the widespread rumors she's a hermaphrodite.

Dude, if it not OK to show, why showing it? Besides, this doesn't proves she isn't a hermiphrodite. What if the pen0r was hidden inside the vagoo and we couldn't see it because of the censorship? It's a conspiracy man, a freaking conspiracy!

I caught on to that when the guard says "Told ya she doesn't have a dick," which doesn't really have anything to do with the song or the video, besides the whole lesbian thing I guess.

It's not supposed to prove anything! It's a joke! People make jokes with fake censored nudity all the time!

Dude, what the hell are we discussing nudity for? We are born free man and this whole censoring stuff is just a castration imposed by the post-modern society.

I rarely like music videos. Not even in prog metal or prog (I actually hate them). But what can I say, pop beats the crap out of other genres in their videos... And this one is entertaining. I don't think it means sh*t (with some exceptions like the declaration of estrogenism by La Germanotta) but it's kind of fun. The music is Pop. Don't come to a Lady Gaga video/song expecting key modulation, atonal harmonies or lightining-fast guitar solos.

Love it.


All her videos are great, some of the best of our time. Seriously, not joking. Although I hope in the next one her and Beyonce get it on.

I just watched the whole video. It's hilarious. I started laughing at the the third second. Lady Gaga is the master of parody, topping Shakira (who MUST be 100% comedy, I can't explain her videos and her songs in another way).

It looks like a "women in prison" flick, with a near-porn flavor, no class, only cliches for straight men who would have never met a lesbian or a bisexual woman in their life. Somewhere between "Oz", a bad-taste cartoon for "adults" and a poor take on John Waters' movies (without the humor and the intelligence), this video is not the "Thriller" of the 10's. If you think so, you also think that Green Day is better than the Clash.

And the music is barely average. Without her cosplay thing and her fame-celebrity-glamour-identity-blablabla so-called "intellectual" gibberish (Residents, anyone?), Lady Gaga would stay under the radar, drown in the sea of the everyday pop/dance mainstream.
And if I want a singer who writes her own music, I listen to Melody Gardot or Android Lust.

However, here is a version of Telephone that I think we can all appreciate.
Skip to 2:54 for the money shot.

Where is this rumor spreaded? From what I see, she has a feminine body: the waist is thin, but not masculine, just like her shoulders or her hands. Even her face doesn't look androgynous.
Or she would have gone under heavy bone surgical reconstruction.

Should this be sad?
This is so badly done it actually hurts to listen to.
This proves she has actual musical ability, but this is still not good. But I couldn't do it!
Do her dead eyes mean she is a victim of mind control too?

No comment so far. I must admit, however, that this song is pretty mindless, even for Lady Gaga.
