My clafoutis, I know, I know: Annie Girardot is dead, the Oscars were crowned The King's Speech , Cindy Sander released a new song, MAM has sprayed the government as an old acne pimples: it many things happening today unavoidable. But, only one request, how to miss the new music video Amanda Lear Lady Gaga on this last day of February, I ask you?
The "cons" : everyone has already said, but why would I be smarter than everyone else, this title is just Express Yourself by Madonna past the mixer. For what was announced as the new gay anthem I Will Survive exceed in the history of music, obviously we were a little disappointed at first listen. Good, bad and force it to do anything with his face and with his clothes, it is not too surprised, either. Post-dated last clip ( Alejandro) who was already a little dark with dancers dressed not much, it is almost in the repetition. There is also this pub unbearable you can not zap the beginning video. I hope the French Games has paid the skin of the buttocks.
The pros : the atmosphere over the top (it's SO gay), the unicorn on the thigh, skeleton with pink hair, the skeleton without hair, a little trip on zarb birth (which, for once glue - about - the words of the song), the Rorschach test to illustrate the details of a little murky "confinement", choreography (worked, as always), the inverted pink triangle, 80's the small touches, delirium visual consistency with all his recent public appearances, hairstyles "WTF / help", the message of tolerance and openness of mind (well, it's marketing, but hey ) addressed the audience and its little monsters freaks ...
We can criticize many things to Gaga, but it included at least one thing: the videos do not report anything, so maybe they are expensive to make, but the Youtube time, the more you work the more they are seen, the more we talk, the more one succeeds in become embedded in the music news. We can also say she is not afraid to be ridiculous to do too much, running out of tire (it will announce a new tour, what, ten minutes?) That the Trafficking of connection, of hearty or engineering, it continues to dig the groove of his (apparently) huge art project around the pop-culture, followed by his horde of fans hysteroscopy under the eye sometimes amused, sometimes annoyed, sometimes of indifferent others. Waiting to see if it succeeds in crossing patterns and times (she takes a turn when the music poufs will no longer fashionable?), But in any case, the register pop / dance, she always seems unrivaled. Not because she is more talented or has a nicer voice than Ke $ ha , Erika Jayne and other by-products of the wave slut, but because she knows how to stage his career and News: showbiz is all about this, and perhaps Lady Gaga happen it to posterity for that. We have raised awareness of this fact.
With Gaga, and it becomes clear account of what has allowed Madonna to continue, or Britney Spears so surpass his (false) Xtina Aguilera rival in the early 2000s: the story-telling. Side orders of music: the provocative visual (Madonna and her fake masturbation, Britney and pouts of schoolgirl minor), the discourse on sex, on virginity, marriage of soap operas, interviews surreal, the fact not to be afraid of this too ... And of course, a certain amount of flair and intelligence, too. Whether it comes from producers or turkeys themselves are not maintained well in the pantheon of the collective imagination of poufs without a minimum of work and anticipation.
short, Gaga does not seem to want to disappear in 2011. The controversy can be linked together, we can be certain that it will continue to stir. This enthusiasm permanent touch of madness more or less real, remains very refreshing in a niche slut wave where it remains the most closed, and managed to preserve the illusion that it is an avant-garde in time when much of her colleagues have also adopted this posture between sexual freedom, and hymns freakshow tolerance.
For that alone, 2011 may still be a year Gaga.
