hace menos de una semana (8.06.2010) llegó
el dia que muchos estabamos esperando:
la premiere del nuevo videoclip de Lady Gaga Alejandro!
Aquí teneis el link:
Alejandro Music Video
El video que en menos de una semana ha tenido más de 15 millones de visitas ha generado una repercusión a nivel mundial muy polémica.
Lady Gaga al lado del ta reconocido fotógrafo Steve Klein ha creado otra Masterpiece y como le gusta decir a ella "una piece de Resisténce". El tema principal del video es el tratamiento de la comunidad religiosa frente a la comunidad Gay. He aquí la controversia del video.
Cuando pensávamos que Lady Gaga no podía sorprendernos más, vuelve a la carga con un video realmente espectaclar, dónde la mezcla de referentes, de tendencias y estilo generan un resultado genial.
Algunos medios de comunicación han hecho su aportación a la crítica:
“Directed by fashion photographer Steve Klein, the clip reinforces the notion that no one understands the convergence of image and music right now better than Gaga.” – Los Angeles Times
“This time, there seems to be a message behind Gaga’s madness. Will people listen to what she has to say? Regardless, this is yet another Lady Gaga video that will be impossible to ignore.” – Yahoo! Music
“At this point in her career, Lady Gaga can do whatever she wants, whenever she wants. She is unbound, unbridled, and completely without fear… and her “Alejandro” video is proof of that.” – MTV
“The video features all the cutting edge wardrobe, creative dancing and tidal waves of eye-popping “did you just see that?” moments fans have come to expect from Gaga.” – Rolling Stone
Además, algunas celebridades como Madonna o Katy Perry han decidido meter el dedo en la yaga, pero como dice Lady Gaga "Estoy preparada para las predadas, intentan destruirme pero en este momento no puedo ser destruida".
Katy Perry mencionó en su Twitter que utilizar la blasfemia para conseguir dinero era más barato que un cómico haciendo chistes de pedos. Para K.Perry tengo un par de palabritas "Primero intenta componer tus propia canciones y evitar sacar versiones malas de tik tok (vease California Gurls) y después de pones a la altura de una gran artista como es Lady GAGA", en el caso de Madonna, solo mencionó que el video le recordó a ella y que no se puede hacer una versión más joven de alo que ya existe, en este caso, Madonna aun no entiende que Lady Gaga tiene la capacidad de desterrarla, ahí queda dicho.
Referente al tema del video. Una chica hizo su aportación del concepto del videoclip y yo me siento bastante conforme:
"Overall, the video made me think that GaGa is singing/performing from the point-of-view of a man who is in the military. He is falling in love with all these other men (Alejandro, Roberto, Fernando), but he ends all these relationships, as if saying "No, this is wrong, I can't do this anymore". He doesn't want any of them to call his name, he doesn't wanna kiss or touch because he knows that if he had anymore contact with them, he would change his mind.
The reason I think this is because in the video when the second verse is on, you see GaGa dancing in a bra and panties (Flesh-toned. Sexay.) in a room full of beds with men writhing around on them. the men are in very feminine heels and are bound to the headboard, as if they were being dominated by GaGa. Then, at another point during that scene, you see GaGa dry-rubbing on one of the boys doggie-style. That's when I realized that she was portraying a man. The fact that the whole scene seems to take place in some hidden room suggests that all of this is done out of need and extreme desire, and the man GaGa is playing is very deep in the closet.
I also knew she was being a gay man because in multiple interviews she has claimed that when she was younger, she related to men more than women, and that androgyny is a HUGE influence on her work. Also, almost all her friends growing up were gay men.
Sometime after the second chorus, you see GaGa laying down in a bed in what seems to be a red latex nun outfit. I interpreted this to mean that the man is trying to cleanse his sins and "cure" his homosexuality. For the remainder of the video, you repeatedly see GaGa in religious-inspired comstumes, and at the end, she finally rips her top off and gives in to temptation. At the very end, you see GaGa in the bed again, praying. You also see that another man is sitting on the bed with her. Then the camera zooms in on her face, and her image seems to burn, suggesting that the scene in the bed took place after the man gave in to all the other men around him and he imagined himself burning for it"
No obstante, el video tiene muchas interpretaciones y la definitiva solo pertenece a LADY GAGA y Klein. Espero que algún dia ella explique su idea.
En este videoclip, como en todos los otros, Lady Gaga cuenta con unos Fashion Credits impresionantes que los podemos encontrar en el blog de su estilista:
Nicola Formichetti
Algunas de las creaciones explícitas para el video són estas:
Haciendo honor al nombre del Blog, un detalle muy poco visible del Videoclip son los Christian Louboutin que Lady GAGA lleva en las escenas de las camas y de la coreografia principal. Aquí los dejo, simplemente geniales:
Para terminar me gustaría que vierais algunas imágenes de este Epic Video, para mi, cada imagen es arte. Espero que sepais apreciar el gran trabajo que hay detrás de las mega producciones que hace esta gran artista de tan solo 24 años.
Espero que lo hayais disfrutado tanto como yo y espero ansioso que al final Gaga decida hacer 4r Single del The Fame Monster: Dance in the dark. Escuchar la canción, es genial y seguro que el video sería too much!
