Lady Gaga has released a music video for her song "Bad Romance" from the The Fame Monster, due in stores November 24.
Simplified down, the story of "Bad Romance" is Lady Gaga's being snatched, 'drugged.' sold to the highest male bidder, only to get her revenge in the end. However this is Lady Gaga so there's nothing simple about it.
The video takes place in a bath house, or the "Bath Hous of GaGa" as it is referred to. She's shown crawling out of a white pod marked 'monster,' in a tub, and of course wearing various unique outfits including razorblade sunglasses. One of the things that stand out are her eyes, she has giant pupils in this video. Start to finish "Bad Romance" provides stunning visuals that the viewer can't help but be drawn into, while at the same time not taking away from the song, which happens to be arguably her best.
Quite frankly words won't do this video justice, you have to see it for yourself:
The Fame Monster, the EP this song appears on, will be sold on its own as an 8 track CD, or in a deluxe version with her original release The Fame. This way fans who already bought the first CD won't have to waste money buying the same songs again to hear new ones. As Lady Gaga told Rolling Stone,
“I think re-releases are unfair,” said Gaga (...) “It’s artists sneaking singles onto an already finished piece of work in an effort to keep the album afloat. Originally [my label] only wanted me to put out three songs and now it’s much more than that. It’s a new album’s worth of material.”
Her attitude should definitely be commended on this. The gesture is sure to be appreciated by fans.
