Enjoy laughing at how awful it is; I know I did!

I would have thought that even singing Lady Gaga’s song would be off-limits for these people, given their ridiculous view on modern life…

Peace, out!

I have to say it is in summary a good music video, all be it a little long, coming in at just under 10 minutes.

It shows Lady Gaga in prison (maybe for the murder she committed in her paparazzi video?). There is a comment from the prison wardens about her lack of ‘penis’ and after a few more shots and a phone call from Beyonce the song begins (3 minutes into the video).  It then shows Beyonce bailing out Lady Gaga and then they pull up to a typical American diner, where Beyonce places poison in a guys coffee. After that it shows Lady Gaga poisoning his food, and the food of everyone in the diner. After they all die the duo dance and then run off in the ‘pussy wagon’.

There are several adverts in the video for Virgin Mobile, plentyoffish.com and Coca Cola. However the story of the video is actually quite good and entertaining.

Maybe there is some truth behind Lady Gaga’s bankruptcy rumour, as most of her costumes in the video are recycled from her current tour.

You can check the video out yourself on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ95z6ywcBY

So in conclusion, was the video worth the wait and hype? Well i think yes, although it could have been a bit shorter.

Music has been around for centuries and has some significant influence on us all.  I like music because its has so many forms of interpretation, as in it means something different to each person.

Legendary musicians are hard to come by. I was, and I still am greatly influenced by Michael Jackson, and other people too, but mainly him.  I grew up listening to Michael Jackson and the Jackson Five since I was about six, so it was all I really knew growing up, music wise.  Michael Jackson’s lyrics, his music, dancing and his compassion towards others made me love and admire him. Ok, he’s had some bad press in his time, but just because the press is bad, it shouldn’t have to take away the good! :D

So yeah, that was me….. your turn!!

….. Who is your greatest influence?

….. What does their music mean to you, like is there any lyrics that really mean something to you?
