Paparazzi Starring Lady GaGa


Ever since she entered the music scene I have been fascinated with Lady GaGa. Not only do I love her album (literally every song!) I am intrigued by her avant garde sense of style and unconventional attitude. I have gotten so tired of the cookie cutter/ bubble gum pop stars of late that I was about to lose interest in the pop culture music scene all together.

Fortunately Lady GaGa came around just in time to shake things up a little and make me believe in artistic expression again! Her latest video is Paparazzi, directed by Jonas Akurlund. It is a dark, sexy, provocative little tale about love and revenge in the public eye. Love it or hate it- this latest video is visually stirring and a far cry from the typical.

Watch the video for Paparazzi here.

So I'd love to know... how do you feel about Lady GaGa?

LOVE Lady Gaga--I've been meaning to download her album.

Thank you for posting the video; I'd never seen it. Good stuff, great costumes!

I agree, she is fantastic. Her music is so cool but also just makes me want to get up and dance. Love her!

I have to admit I have never heard of her before but she looks like fun. Thank heaven for creative, original spirits who are true to themselves. There are so many bland cookie-cutter pretty barbies out there that it is most off-putting. I remember a time when Stevie Nicks, Kate Bush, Deborah Harry and other women had fun with costume. It all seems to be about bare midriffs and not much talent these days! (beginning to sound like my mother!)

Primrose- I totally agree - those ladies you mentioned forged the way and its refreshing to see Lady GaGa shaking it up again!
