The pop star sports razor-blade sunglasses, is force-fed vodka, and sets fire to a man with a gold-plated jaw. Yowsa!

Lady Gaga
With her outlandish costumes, risqué songs, elaborate videos, and onstage antics, Lady Gaga has established herself as pop's resident drama queen -- and her new music video for "Bad Romance" is her most theatrical work yet.
The clip for the lead single off Gaga's Nov. 23 release, The Fame Monster, hit the web today.
It kicks off with a bang and doesn't let up. Bursting out of a white coffin, Gaga dons an array of outlandish outfits -- from razor blade sunglasses to 12-inch Alexander McQeen Armadillo stilettos -- all while being kidnapped, force-fed vodka, and made to dance for her male captors.

Francis Lawrence, who worked on videos for Brittney Spears and Gwen Stefani, directed the clip based on Gaga’s vision and concept. "I knew he could execute the video in a way that I could give him all my weirdest, most psychotic ideas, but it would come across to and be relevant to the public,” said Gaga told MTV News.

that pic scares me!!!
Gaga is BEYOND. Thank god someone is wearing those Lobster Claw McQueen heels. See: 3:27.
strange.that caught my eyes to.
the shoes
WOW - she's over the top.
So beautiful when she wants to be and such a mess at other times.
She's brilliant!! A creative GENIUS!!
The last scene freaks me out... It makes me interpret the video in a different way that is stated above. I thought she was some sort of love/death machine roused to slay a condemned man. Either way, creepy.
Glad to have theatrical creativity in our music industry. I'm sick of Beyonce, Lil' Wayne, etc. Gaga's style reminds me of Marilyn Mansons. Pull off great music, videos and actually anticipating an album that is tangible versus the norm of just buying it on ITunes and forgetting about the cd booklet and artwork. A star is born.
she is like a big baby face and the video was better then imagined. You go GaGa i'l follw you to the end....
Got something to say?
