Well I assume they will cut the start of the video when they air it, so it wouldn't be shown anyway. People watch music videos on YouTube more now anyway, so it doesn't really matter what is shown on TV.

The video is not interesting at all to me -.- especially the beginning LOL

[zoomzoom]

The video is really interesting, both visually and in concept, well executed and at least the graphic birth parts are there to support the idea.

But what a complete misfit of a video. She needs to sit down and listen to her music, the song is such a plain pop song it's so odd to see it paired with such conceptual imagery and story. You get the whole huge opening and then the song starts and she's daning around in her usual awful outfit.. sounds and looks like a joke.

[Aditmi Krisnasaki ~II~]

^ well, usually crap songs come with great Music Videos... like Born This Way

[Maemi]

Well yeah, after the 'unicorn-vagina' thing, you would expect something amazing, but she's only dancing and rubbing against skeletons till the end. Interesting? No, not to me.

[Kashoku]

That was 7 minutes of my life I can never get back. That was terrible and totally grossed me out in the beginning. That's not creative at all.

[toniayu]

i really love this video.... *O*

[Bubbly]

regarding her music I'm becoming a really big fan of her! I really like many of her singles and I want to check out her Albums soon.
I'm not a big fan of her videos, costumes, performances etc. though...

[U-GO-BOY]

I don't know what to think about the music video.. it was very well done, no question but it was so.. empty? I wished more scenes, there was a little bit too much dancing..

[Mr GaGa]

O_O i don't like...

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

LOL I love it! Even though some parts don't really come together pretty well, overall it was pretty awesome! I loved the "Star Wars" feeling at the start of it lol Well that's what I got from it and then the birth part was pretty cool too.

Dunno I just really love it

[Picaflor 7/4]

omg that was so bad. like all her other videos. haha

Honestly. With first listen to this song. I imagined a simple video of a guy walking down the street with this song playing on his ipod. And he's strutting because he's proud to be who he is and around him there's tons of people of different orientations and ethnicities dancing around him showing that everyone is equal. End of video. Leave it go gaga to go way deeper than the actual song's meaning and do something with "deep imagery".

As if that was ever going to happen though

[AyumiAi]

It was a cool video interesting to say the least :3

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

about to watch it...let's see.
don't have high hopes lol

[butterfly_ayu]

it was an interesting video, but i just can't get into the song at all

[emi♡]

I thought it was great!

And I think anyone who says it's bad is just...ridiculous. They missed the very...seemingly obvious message of the song lol

It's great because, it's, well, honestly, it's very "tribute-y" to me. All the Stanley Kubrick stuff, and the worlds, and the people and everything, but I think it's really creative in all those ways, and it is interesting and fun.

Something they said in the description I think, about it being both serious and light hearted, is really important, because it does make it different. That's not really something that people do well all the time, not even in really serious film, and here, it's quite obvious I think lol that it's supposed to be dark and "other worldly" but still maintain its fun and humour.

I also thought the video went fine with the song...maybe all the stuff at the beginning no...but, idk, somehow it all came together for me by the end.

It's not my favorite video from her, and not one I'll really be watching, but, it's cool, and it's very HER, and it's unique, and idk that's what's important.

I'm ridiculous then because I didn't like it. Just like gaga to take a simple message and go way over the top with it. even farther than she should have. The song isn't bad, but the video was just too "everything" for me. too much. just too much. that's all I can say. I felt like she made it weird just for the sake of making of weird and keeping up with her "unusual" videos. I understand the message. but I felt like this video went a bit too far. It's a bit too "in your face" with the message she's trying to deliver.

And the beginning. too much vagina and not enough unicorn!

Go to that piece of trash kesha for unicorns.

[Minttulatte]

Haters will hate, that's a fact.

As for me, I think the video was pretty creepy but there was something that made me want to watch it till the end, and I did before I even realized it. I personally prefer Alejandro's music video though. It's so much better and I like Gaga's clothes there too. And I'm pretty much fine with the over the top things.
