As promised the attention grabbing Lady Gaga has unleashed the debut music video of Born This Way, the title track from her third album which will be in stores on May 23. BTW follows the same formula she adapted in the Telephone video, giving you a music video in short film format. BTW is directed by fashion photographer Nick Knight, choreographer LaurieAnn Gibson and Gaga herself. I know we've all been on her case as far as her similar resemblances to what Madonna has done 20 years ago, but it seems Gaga's video was inspired alot by classic episodes of Star Trek, the Hitchcock classic Vertigo, Legend (with the use of unicorns), Aliens, the zombie boy from Thierry Mugler's recent fashion week spread, and a spritz of Madonna's Bedtime Stories video (which was written by Bjork and directed by Mark Romanek). Since everything Gaga does people follow, I wonder how long before her prosthetic shoulder pieces will be available for her "monsters" to purchase?
So my verdict on the video is - I like it much more than the single. So put on your dancing shoes and watch as Mother Monster give birth to a new species below...
