Lady GaGa - Bad Romance

I've been a fan of Lady GaGa for a while (as it seems the whole country/world is). Her music is good to me, not fantastic. I pay more attention to the visual nature of her shows and videos. This harks back to my love of Visual Kei, a brand of japanese rock music that relies heavily on costumes, and just all around appearence. Lady GaGa's latest video for "Bad Romance" gives you plenty of interesting visuals to look at.
Apparently the video "plot" is of a modern day bath house, though I don't really see that in the video, minus when she is in an actual bath tub. The song is catchy, but not to the point of being annoying. I like her use of french in the song (I think more american artist should venture into other languages). Check out the video for yourself and let me know what you think.

I think this is the stupidest video ever. What has happened to the entertainment industry??

absolutely chopped to bits by the choreography. saw an interview in Brazil and she said she studied history of arts (!)(understandable...)
well, the song athmosphere was carefuly built, interesting photography and use of light and shadows (a mon avis)...
we'll see if people get enough from gaga too soon... anyway she's gonna have to re-invent herself even more than a 'traditional' entertainer and that's quite a challenge nowadays.
