"Alejandro" Video Review

"Lady Gaga was bluffing with her muffin in "Poker Face," turned herself into a sex slave monster in "Bad Romance" and kinda hinted at hooking up with Beyoncé in her "Telephone" video. And today we get a look at Gaga's controversial new "Alejandro" video! And surprise, surprise! The homoeroticism continues!" - MTV

It was inspired by Gaga's love for her gay friends and admiration of gay love—her envy of the courage and bravery they require to be together. The Alejandro music video portrays Gaga with a group of soldiers in a cabaret, dancing to the song. It is interspersed with scenes of Gaga as a nun eating a rosary and near-naked men, holding machine guns.

In the United States, "Alejandro" debuted at seventy-two on the Billboard Hot 100 for the issue dated April 17, 2010. It has reached a peak of six on the chart, becoming Gaga's seventh consecutive top ten hit in the United States. Gaga became the second female artist to have her first seven singles reach top-ten in the United States, since R&B singer Monica did so in 1995–99. The song also debuted on the Mainstream Top 40 chart at thirty-five, and the Hot Digital Songs chart at seventy-one, after selling 24,000 paid digital downloads according to Nielsen Soundscan. "Alejandro" has reached seven on the Mainstream Top 40 chart. It also debuted on the Hot Dance Club Songs chart at 40 and has reached five.

"My first thought was “this sounds like something” and after a lot of shouting and singing the lines fiving we got it! High fives all round! It’s that 90’s classic Don't Turn Around by Ace Of Base". - HardCandyMusic

"A few seconds into the track, it becomes quite apparent that Lady GaGa is channeling herself some “La Isla Bonita.” In fact, the similarity between the two tracks is almost as obvious as Madonna’s “Revolver” to Britney’s “Radar.”" - PrettyMuchAmazing

After an epic build-up, Lady Gaga's new video debuted on the web last night. So is the nine-minute clip, directed by fashion snapper Steven Klein, actually any good?
