Well...ummm Gee.
Disturbing, and strangely with very little editing on the intro, I could use this in my RotRL's campaign.

Disturbing is right... she does mention the 'Mother of Monsters' though, so the thread title is more appropriate than I expected.
Also, I'm impressed (if that's the right word) by how well the makeup team was able to make a fit young woman in her underwear completely unattractive.

Love it! Absolutely freaking AWESOME.
The music itself is kinda pedestrian pop clap trap (though good for what it is), but kudos to Lady Gaga for letting her freak flag fly!
Sure, you can look at this as a woman being excessively weird and shocking to get attention... but the simple fact is that it works. She's doing the exact same thing with her career that Marilyn Manson did before her, and Alice Cooper before him. TO me, it looks like she's having a blast, and more power to her, I say.
People compare her to Madonna (and that song does sound exactly like "Express Yourself") musically, and this works. But they often also compare her to Madonna in the shock category, and I don't agree. Madonna was tame, and boring, compared to Lady Gaga. Stylistically, Gaga reminds me more of these guys, if they played mindless pop claptrap.
...and I love these guys .

Totally with you. That made me smile and I'm glad Mothman posted it; the intro made me imagine some 80s scifi/fantasy adventure with puppet aliens everywhere.
Well, thanks to a not yet made agreement between youtube and the GEMA, I can´t see the vids here. The last link by cosmo needs a registration before viewing - I hate it when some folks tell me what I can see and what I cannot.

Cosmo is right - I thought that song sounded like Express Yourself.. I wonder if it is a subtle dig at Madonna.
Freaky cool though....

Try "clipfish.de", it seems to be the newest Lady Gaga video.
Did I just advice somebody where to look at the newest Lady Gaga video?Sighs - I guess I did...
Sorry.
Well, there are some Combichrist videos there as well...

I think she pretty much rips off Madonna and no Lady Gaga is just ugly anyway. To be honest, I just don't get her popularity... Her (such as it is) music is the same processed, monotone tripe over and over again.
Maybe I'm just getting old:P Each to his own I guess...

Yeah, well... I used it mainly to vent my frustration about that castrated version of youtube you get over here, not so much because I was keen on a lady gaga video. Last year, we were in Boston on a holiday trip, and one of the bus drivers for the sightseeing buses couldn´t get some lady gaga song out of his mind, and sang it the whole time, or at least the refrain of it...

I think it's cool that she plays the freak. I don't know if all that springs from her own personal genius* or if she's just playing a part dictated to her by her label (though my impression is that the former is cooler and the latter more realistic), but either way I think it's fun.
As far as music goes, even I think this one is generic, and couldn't listen to all of it. I liked Bad Romance.
*this was meant to be slightly tongue-in-cheek, but I couldn't find the sarcasm font
She got her start as a standard Aguilera pop mimic, realized that wouldn't get her very far (not pretty enough), so she tried the b*#%#~# crazy approach and it paid off.
The video is gross by mass media standards. I wonder what the casual fans think of it?
I finally watched the video. Well... the starting sequence is designed to be disturbing without going too far - a well-measured provocation, but then, since biting off chicken heads on stage is frowned upon these days, you need to find something else to get noticed. The music is meh... nothing special, so I didn´t listen to it for more than a few seconds. Maybe I´m getting a bit jaded these days, but it failed to upset me.
Lady Gaga = Thief?
Looks a lot like it.
Her stuff is nothing new.
Its Baudville.
Alice Cooper kind of stuff..but Alice Cooper was cooler and didn't steal other artists styles.
Lady Gaga is sort of a Madonna/Marylin Manson with a GWAR wardrobe.
Years from now when the Mi-Go invade, we'll look at their signs and portents and go..."crap, we knew this all along...if we would have just not let Gaga get so popular...".
Really, is she our Dr. Breen?
I was more prone to tell that Gaga = Satan, but on a Pathfinder perspective, yes, Lamashtu is quite appropriate.
Guys, she is obviously a puppet of the Illuminati.

AARGH! If I get that "this video is not available in your country" crap one more time, I will get mad!

Wow, lady gaga has a nice baby-maker.
This is the best song + video combination I have seen in 10 years. I really like it.
My fav parts were the cut away shots to evil-skull lady gaga and skull-boy doing a porno dance.
Edit: >Check this out,< she and Lady Gaga sang together recently.
