Another Shocking Thing
The new video from Lady Gaga - “Alejandro” is winning over the YouTube by it’s incredible popularity. In less than twenty four hours it was viewed by seven million times, thus setting another quite unprecedented event in her music career. Every hour the amount of seekers to look at this video is multiplying by hundreds of thousands. Definitely, this singer is trying to repeat Madonna’s biography of the 1980’s and after all she is very successful in this procedure. Lady Gaga seems to be very unique before other pop singers such as Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears, these two are ordinary anyway if comparing them to her - regular stage against truly glamorous stage. The online popularity of Lady Gaga is solidly reflecting it. Video on “Alejandro” (from her 2009 album “The Fame Monster”) was produced by the fashion photographer Steve Klein. It lasts for nine minutes and as music magazines have noted, reflects the style of Madonna’s “Vogue”; it is scandalous, sexually oriented and moreover portrays the life of people with the non-traditional sexual orientation. Nothing less than that could be expected from Lady Gaga because things of that sort can seriously shock the crowd. Many may not be supportive of that, but a singer keeps with it and wants to rebel against the mainstream. Once again, a pop singer going totally against something is not very typical, rock, rap performers are usually acting this way, but for pop musicians it’s truly rebellious.
