'Alejandro' is Lady Gaga's 'Virgin/Prayer/Vogue'
In case you still haven’t noticed, Lady Gaga killed it with the video for “Telephone,” a smutty tale of mass-murder set inside a women’s prison and behind cigarette sunglasses. Say what you will about Gaga’s music, appearance and gender, she’s proven herself the savviest pop star since Kanye West. She clasps the hand of Beyonce—the Thelma to her Louise—and they ride off in a different kind of cliffhanger. But as Tom Ewing pointed out in his now-prophetic “Poptimist” column for Pitchfork, Gaga is in the midst of her “imperial phase,” determined to top herself at every opportunity, knowing that she commands the eyes of the world. She may have done just that with the release of her latest clip, “Alejandro,” which is her “Virgin/Prayer/Vogue” in “Blade Runer”/”Rhythm Nation” attire on the set of Jennifer Lopez’s “The Cell” done as the latest “Halo” video game and featuring Vivid’s male talent. If that sounds like too many points of reference, you’re starting to get it. Now you might as well watch it (click the link below).
