Fun fact: G.U.Y. (An ARTPOP Film) was filmed at the Hearst Castle, in California. She was the first artist that had permission to shoot a music video there (others tried, but they didn't let them), and she had to donate 250k to the state of California because the pool had a leak and the state was going through a horrible drought at the time. Also, she had to pay for this whole music video AND direct it herself, because ARTPOP was considered a flop and the label didn't want to pay for anything more regarding the album.
In GUY starting, people were running after money but noone saved her. She meant her label who just push her for promotions and control her and use her as money making machine
Well, in another video the corporate goons finish murdering and stealing from another messenger, then hunt and kill Gaga’s character. They just want quick cash, they don’t even bother picking all the money up. Once they grab the easy cash they move to their next victim.
let me remind everyone, incase if anyone dont know or dont remember...joanne (where you do think you're goin') piano version is a GRAMMY-winning song ✌🏻
The "sea shell bikini" represents the Greek goddess, Aphrodite aka Venus. This was kind of an alter ego that she developed during the artpop era. If you look at her artrave performances and other interviews from that time, you'll get to know. Her huge wig with the seashells is iconic!🐚
if anybody is annoyed with all of your lady gaga posts i have strong words to say to them. I missed your lady gaga videos the past month. never let me go that long without one again 😭. just kidding take all the time you need ♥⚔
Oooo something that could be fun to react to is her 2009 VMA performance of paparazzi!!! It’s wild ! Also the 2020 VMA Chromatica performance is amazing too !
G.U.Y mv is a representation of how all the bussiness people and fake fans that were supporting her before, left her after she had that injury in the BTWball (thats why she is a fallen angel and she is hurted), and then, she comes back stronger and takes revenge over them creating a new army of real fans and people that will never let her down. Michael Jackson and Jesus are a representation of good people that were betrayed by the ones they loved the most, as Gaga was too in the whole ARTPOP era (and Perfect Illusion MV also talks about that, thats why she is watching her fans around her cheering but then she realizes she is alone in the desert, cause all of them let her down, "it wasnt love, it was a perfect illusion") Definitely this is her best MV in my opinion, I love it soo much, so glad you finally watched it. Looking forward for your other Gaga, Beyoncé a Britney reactions Love uuu
Applause has been one of my favorite videos of all time since I first saw it, before I was even a fan. Every shot is so stunning, I want to hang every frame of the video on my walls
Perfect illusion vid may look normal, it is but everything, people, band, mess was all illusion to Gaga. She was just in the desert having illusions of people, band etc etc
This was great. I’ve watched a ton of Gaga reactions over the years, but watching you start to feel about her the way a lot of her fan base does is pretty cool. I’d really love to see you react to her Netflix documentary “Five Foot Two” at some point, gives such an interesting look behind the scenes of the making of the Joanne album. It’s one of my favorite music docs. I’m also a huge Beyoncé fan, and would love to see you go through her music videos too, similar to how you’ve done with Gaga (though she’s got A LOT) lol. Anyway, really loving all of your content (especially your editing), been binging it all week.
A curious fact about the Artpop film is that the money to produce the clip came from Gaga herself. The record company did not want to invest in the clip.
It’s ok if you don’t understand the videos at first, when they have so many meanings you actually have to watch them several times to understand and see everything✨
In the G.U.Y video Gaga is supposed to come back to life and this time with the purpose of creating a race of "perfect" men based on the blood of great icons such as Michael Jackson, Gandhi, Jesus Christ and John Lennon, this in order to replace the bad men who are in the world and who are blinded by greed. That's why at first she appears as an angel, the men who collect money and leave without helping her, represent her old team that only saw her as a money-making machine and abandoned her at her worst. Gaga financed out of her pocket and directed the G.U.Y. video herself.
Joanne is an album dedicated especially to her family and friends, Sinners Prayer to her sister, Grigio Girls to her friend who passed away from cancer, Joanne to her father, etc. That's why it's so raw and melancholy, Gaga let us see not only the vulnerable side of her but also her loved ones
Fun Fact: Gaga got bruises on her body after Perfect Illusion mv, also she was concerned how people will react to this video cause this was the first time ever she stripped down her crazy stuff and was just present raw with nothing much extra
The way i interpreted Perfect Illusion and Million Reasons was that they're about her relationship with her fans, in Perfect Illusion we see her performing to a crowd and it flashes back to her being alone in a desert constantly, while the camera moved erratically, this imo represents how she felt in her concerts, with so many people who supported and loved her around her while she performed for them, but it was all an illusion, because the moment she wasn't as succesful and tried something new everyone left her behind (basically the main struggle of the ARTPOP era), so it wasn't love, it wasn't real, it was all a perfect illusion and she only realized when it was too late, then in Million Reasons she's still on the desert, and later we see a few people get there, they hug her and she starts crying, to me these people represent Little Monsters, at least the ones that have supported her during her entire carrer no matter what she did because they truly loved her, it works as a response to Perfect Illusion, that while she felt betrayed by her own fans she knew there's was still people who supported her for real and wanted to see her do what made her happy, so she's willing to keep going thanks to those people, to me this makes sense since during the Joanne and pre-Chromatica era she wanted to appeal to the general public more, she barely ever called fans Little Monsters anymore and her interviews were very focused on her rather than her fans like they used to. As for John Wayne btw i think the video is about (not really sure about this one tho) the people who keep demanding her to go back to her TF/TFM/BTW eras and stop trying new styles like she does now, which is stupid to ask to an artist, they obviously don't want to be stuck doing the same things all the time and want to evolve constantly, the entire video has many shots that are direct references to her old music videos, when she puts her hands around her eye it's a Telephone reference, when she's dancing in front of the back of the car it's also Telephone, when she's pointing a gun to the guy in the car that's Judas, her dead corpse after the car accident is a reference to Paparazzi, and when she kills herself that other Gaga is dressed like TF/TFM, dark makeup, long hair with bangs, tight revealing clothing, crazy faces, and she was doing a heavy coreography while waving a banner that said "GAGA", so she basically killed the old Gaga there, at least that's the way i interpreted that video lol
Couldn't be here earlier. I'm so exited for you to go to the Chromatica Ball, i've already seen the show in RU-vid and it's so fun and visually stunning 😭😭😭
So.. the Applause music video, it's a lot, so sorry for being annoying, in 2013 in one of the last shows of the Born This Way Ball, Gaga broke her hip so she had to cancel the last dates of the show. There were a lot of fans crying for her at the time cause they didn't know if she could ever get back to perform again and there were a lot of fans too that said she faked the injury and turned their back on her. In the video, there are a lot of references to her injury, in the one scene where she's with the purple dress she's carrying a giant leg through a runway and at the end of it she lifts it like a trophy, meaning no matter what it takes, she will always be back on stage. There is also the scene in which she is in the matress and she is dancing laying down, she said in a interview that when she was healing from her surgery she used to rehearse choreographies laying down, it's a way of showing how she is really devoted to performing and her work. Also, yeah the seashell bikini scene was meant to represent the painting of the Birth of Venus, the Godess of Love. Which is another metaphor to represent Gaga's rebirth for a new era. But not only there is the reference for the Venus paintings, for ARTPOP Gaga visited a lot of artists and all of the secuences of the video are references to paintings and how different artists like Picasso, Galliano or Warhol would express themselves. There are also a lot of references to the movie Metropolis, which is very important for her, cause it even gave her her artistic name, Lady Gaga which came from the song Radio Ga Ga from Queen made for the movie.
The film metropolis isn't the source of her stage name, but the movie is referenced in a lot of Gaga's work, Alejandro, born this way, you and I, ARTPOP (A HYBRID CAN WITHSTAND THESE THINGS) and the chromatica album. The
@@joellansdowne2259 No, i said she got her name from it cause Radio GaGa was created for a soundtrack of the movie in the 80's. Not cause the name appears in the movie or something.
@@ezevillxlba Radio Gaga samples footage from the movie Metropolis. The movie was made in the late 20s and Radio Gaga was made in the early 80s. They’re mutually exclusive works of art. Both have been referenced by Gaga in separate capacities.
The song "Joanne" is also inspired by a poem that the real Joanne Germanotta wrote called "for a moment" Yesterday, I took a walk in the rain The cool refreshing droplets splashed on my cheeks. I walked, And walked, And walked, Not knowing where I was going. The trees swayed as a chilly spring Gently caressed their branches. A cute white rabbit scampered Across a wide open field. He stopped in front of me in a Patch of emerald. He had a quizzical look on his furry little face. He wiggled his ears, Crinkled his nose, And scratched his whiskers like An old man. I started to laugh. He ran off into the distance Looking like a pearl in a patch of seaweed. The cool refreshing droplets splashed On my cheeks. I walked, And walked, And walked, Not knowing where I was going. I saw a family of ducks on a lake, I stopped to look, Mama Duck first, And all the little ducklings gliding Behind her in a single file. They were dancing to the music of the rain tapping on water. And then I was my reflection on the mirror-like surface of the lake And for a moment… I was the only living creature around. The cool refreshing droplets splashed On my cheeks. I turned, And walked, And walked, Knowing where I was going.
As much as I love the music videos from her past eras, Million reasons and Joanne has a special place in my heart. Every time I watch them, not just it warms my heart. I’m literally crying. Emotions were just raw and the vocals are 🔥. Much love to Gaga til I die. 💕
Girl I was wondering just yesterday, will you be reacting to The Monster Ball Tour? 🥺 you said you're going to the Chromatica Ball. The first show happened last week and I watched everything through a livestream and ir was so nostalgic because it was so long since we saw her touring, so I really wanna see you watching one of her tour too
Your reactions are so genuine, and you put out your truth about your thoughts with what you are watching/listening. I absolutely love it. I may not always agree with opinions on certain songs, but that’s what’s great about Gaga! It’s genuinely always about interpretation. Thank you!!
The visuals for applause were just so impeccable. The outfits and the wigs for G.U.Y - out of this world. Only Gaga could. I really wish VENUS had a video all of its own. Apparently one was planned, but not released. You’re absolutely right - Venus is the best song on the album! ✨
With Gaga, sometimes you just have to let her take you where she's going. On the first watch especially. Analysis is impossible on the first watch. I love Gaga.
Beth você vai aproveitar muito o show de Chromatica Ball! A presença de palco da Gaga é incrível, a paixão dela... Espero que depois você nos conte como foi sua experiência no show dela, seria muito bom. Queria poder ir também xoxo
The shot at 15:50 in that stunning black outfit and the gun is one of my fav moments from any music video. A cinematographic masterpiece. A legend. It's truly surreal. No one does it like she does.
I would love to see you react to her live performances on a semi regular basis (I know you have a ton of other stuff to react to first). Her passion, talent, and charisma come through 10x stronger when she’s live. I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever seen a bad performance from her and I’ve been a huge fan since 2009. I think you’d have an absolute blast going on a live Gaga journey. Have a safe and incredible time at The Chromatica Ball! ❤❤❤
Applause, in the simplest words, is about her saying, "I appreciate that you appreciate me." Also, there used to be a music video for Do What You Want, but it stirred up heaps of controversy and got taken off of every platform.
@@_asafshalom If the music video never came to be, then how did the controversy stir up to begin with? Was it perhaps due to some kind of teaser trailers for it that the people would've seen and enraged over then seeing the outrage over the trailers alone, maybe then Gaga withdrew from releasing the actual video?
@@dollygiki13 I'm not sure they even finished the video, but a few snippets leaked (if I remember correctly) and that caused controversy as well as her working with R. Kelly in the first place because of the allegations, especially with the lines that he sang
@@_asafshalom I see. Thank you for letting me know. It was this year I became a Little Monster and so, I may have gotten a little confused whether the music video was released or not.
@@BethThereseReacts whoaah, thank you so much! Hope you're having a good time with her 😀. She'd never come to my country, so i hope you could share the joy 😀😀
If you do jazz albums I will Freaking love you I use to not like those albums but also I was 3 when I started listening to her I didn't know what jazz music even was but now the VOCALS O MA GAD It almost like high end mac and cheese
I really do appreciate the Joanne era but artpop was a álbum that brought the monster out in me! GUY IS A JAM and I’m will be seeing her live on the 6th in Toronto I can’t wait for u to see her live!
You should react to some of her live performances now: You and I on VMA (the long version), her singing Bang Bang, Paparazzi (MTV), Bad Romance + Speechless, Til It Happens to You... Ok Little Monsters, comments some more if you have something in mind :D
in g.u.y the first shot of her with the brown wings symbolizes a fallen angel or an "erotes" a crew of winged greek gods of love & sex. (a representation of how the media scrutinized her and only saw her as a money making machine) after she collapses, she's lifted up by guards, hoisted up to resemble jesus christ on the stake of his crucifixion. after the pool gaga is now reborn as aphrodite/venus. the all white ensemble is meant to symbolize the pheonix rising from the ashes in greek mythology. (white meaning purity and her finding herself once again) the women playing instruments are actually the real housewives of beverly hills, they play the role of "the muses" daughters of zeus. the muses are known for their poetry, literature & the arts. late on we see gaga's nurses draw blood from each of the icons (michael, jesus and gandhi) to create a kind of formula to clone the ideal "g.u.y." one who respects art, respects people, and understands sacrifice. from gandhi she draws upon his kindness and humanity. from michael, she takes artistry and perfectionism. and from jesus she draws his ability to sacrifice for his beliefs and his followers we later see her emerge from a car in a black outfit and a headdress resembling a crow, which in irish mythology is a associated with morrigan, the goddess of war & death. regaining her power back in an industry full of bigoted men. the video closes with gaga unleashing the "perfect" human out into the world
You mention wanting to see a day in her life. Have you seen her documentary '5 ft 2'? It's on Netflix and was shot during the recording and promotion of the Joanne album and her preparations for the Super Bowl halftime show. Recommend watching it, she's such an inspirational and endearing person.
@@BethThereseReacts You should! It's quite emotional in parts, so get ready. It's shot 'fly on the wall' style, which is the beauty of this doc cause you are on the journey with her, but it might be hard sometimes as a new fan to know the context of some scenes or know who certain people are. Two things that are nice to know beforehand I feel is that A. at the time, she broke up with her fiancé Taylor and B. Joanne was inspired by her aunt, her father's sister who died at 19. Her death really affected her father and in turn affected Gaga, who felt her father's pain and wondered if he'd been a different person if he didn't suffer such a tragic loss at 15 yo. I think you'll really love this film.
18:05 🤣😂🤣😂 te amo! 24:19 es verdad, es un álbum personal de Stefani con John Wane de intruso haha Adoro tus reacciones a mi Lady, estoy muy emocionada de que la puedas ver en el Chromarica Ball, seguramente la pasarás de maravilla, ojalá puedas hacer un vlog o un video comentando tu experiencia… yo espero que venga a México 😭😭😭 y ojalá no sea solo a broncearse 😤 Los discos y videos de ella son todo un viaje y una experiencia, no te preocupes por no entender nada porque la mayoría no lo hacemos y tenemos que buscar en internet 🤣 Si tienes planeado reaccionar a actuaciones de ella en vivo, te dejo algunas recomendaciones: - Sound of Music - Speechless - I Wish, a Stevie Wonder tribute - If I Ever Lose My Faith, Sting tribute - Your Song (está en Vmeo la del tributo a Elton porque aquí en RU-vid solo encuentras el ensayo) - Shallow, Oscar’s performance - National anthem at the Super Bowl 50 - Moth Into Fame, dress rehearsal, porque la presentación que se transmitió en los Grammys tuvo fallas técnicas en el micrófono, así que ve el ensayo mejor, esa versión la difundieron después de que salió mal la actuación en vivo en los premios - New York, New York, live from Sinatra 100 - Bang Bang - Paparazzi - Imagine, live at Baku 2015 - Cantó 3 canciones en piano en el Hurricane Relief Concert, frente a Obama, Clinton y Bush Y seguramente olvido alguna otra actuación que te pueda interesar pero creo que estás te sirven para ese video. Amo ver tu viaje con ella, el hecho de que te convirtieras en little monster frente a mis ojos lo hace muy especial. Te mando todo mi cariño desde México 🤗
All the albums are so different it’s like Bjork like you can’t rank any of their albums because each means so much to the fans and they all are like puzzle pieces into one gaga puzzle
Also I never watched the shows, but the ladies in pink playing random instruments before GUY starts are from the Real Housewives TV show lol. (And Andy Cohen is Himeros)
Gaga's music is all cool and fun until she's performing them , she changes the songs entirely , you should check her performances , I'd suggest Venus X-Factor , perfect illusion live , million reasons live , Joanne in the Grammys , David Bowie's tribute , sound of music tribute ...
In fact she is speaking about what happened during the era in this music video of the Artpop film the men’s label managers killed her killed her of creativity for money she wasn’t relevant for that then Venice she let herself die but she came back she came back because she’s strong she’s relevant and she knows how to re born every time
It might be just my opinion, but I think that John Wayne sounds SOOO much better in the music video. The sound effects really just add another layer to the song. Every time I listen to the Spotify version I feel like it lacks something. Especially towards the end where in the music video there’s explosion and cracking sounds just every second. No hate to the song btw, I just think they popped off with the music video version
Also i have recommendations for you to react to a kpop girl group named AESPA. The group makes their debut alongside their own “ae” avatars, a concept serving as the label’s first project in its SMCU (SM CULTURE UNIVERSE) vision for the future of entertainment, aespa will project a future world centered on celebrities and avatars, and will be born into a group of completely new and innovative concepts that transcend the boundaries between the real world and the virtual world. aespa's storyline, you can start from (don't forget to turn on your subtitles): 1. Black Mamba 2. SM Culture Universe EP.1 "Black Mamba" 3. Next Level 4. Savage 5. SM Culture Universe EP.2 "Next Level" 6. Girls or you can watch their English Version song's "Life Too Short". I always love your reaction 💖.
You should react to BROOKLYN NIGHTS It was supposed to be released on the ARTPOP ACT II I think you will feel more the energy and what she wanted to say
I think in guy when she was an angel and she got shot with a bow and arrow and I think later when she went into the pool she got brought back alive an the cut off her wings like maleficent and she decided to take full revenge as being in charge. #gagaincharge
