Judas' only error was letting that vulgar Gibson rat direct the video, because everything else was on point.
THE IMAGERY, THE FASHUN, THE MALO MART CHOREOGRAPHY. Iconic in every frame.

This I do agree with somewhat.
I don't think the partnership works now for whatever it is Gaga is trying to be these days, but LAG was a very important part of Gaga blowing up during her debut days. I think my head exploded when I learned that Boom Kack was Gaga's choreographer. Such an unlikely pairing, but it worked....back then.
That Iconic Poker Face choreo. *.*
Eh that may hold some truth but she tried to restrict Gaga during the BTW era with Judas and EOG then goes on to do some more religious crap with Nicki
she can stay fired
Yes, apparently it was deeply offended at the original concept. What a Westboro cunt, good riddance.
Let me petition Roger Deakins to do the cinematography for the Queen's first ARTPOP film.
...and I've gone on record stating that I thought the Not Myself Tonight video was bad so I don't know what your point is, sis.
And yes, I LOVE Cake. But I wouldn't really call Cake shocking...more tongue-in-cheek.

Eh.....I don't see it. The controversy about it was all over the internet for a long time before I ever watched the video, but I found it thoroughly unshocking (though it had some amazing moments). Not sure whether thats a good or bad thing.
I thought so too at the time, that Lauriegag toning down the concept for Judas was a good idea; but then she pulled that other shit with Edge Of Glory (the video I wanted so badly to slay) and her true hideous self was revealed. It had clearly become a roadblock rather than an asset during the BTW era, and its firing couldn't have been a better choice.
Especially after staring at its subsequent work with Garbaj. GOODBYE.

My point is that you shouldn't be chastising my fave for doing what your fave did.
At least my fave didn't flop because of it.
But that doesn't make sense.
Xtina may be my ABSOLUTE fave but I'm not above criticizing her, and I've been very vocal about hating EVERYTHING about Not Myself Tonight (song AND video).
So if I do that to my FAVE, what makes you think Gaga's going to escape the scalding tea?
I think the "Bad Girls" video is a better example. *.*
I remember when The Edge of Glory premiered in SYTYCD I was perched through the whole show to see the hospital scene, NYC/Brooklyn Bridge, and of course the mermaids(Yuyi). All I got was a boring ass video. The song was already a hit and an iconic video would have pushed it further. Once I learned it was due to Gaga's ego of not letting Joseph Khan get his way or something like that, I almost tored my stan card

1.5 million views?
After almost 3 years?
Pretty sure a blank video with that title could get more views that than just through the passive searches of people looking for the video of the song "Born Free" by John Barry/Don Black....or the Kid Rock version.
Shocked youtube viewers into complete apathy apparently.

But shouldn't a "shocking video" be one that everyone flocks to?
I LOVE The Edge of Glory video, though. I really do...
It's so Stripped. Just Gaga working it OUT to her song. I think after all the over-the-top theatrics Gaga really needed to do a simple video like that.
I think the part when she's WORKING that fire escape during the sax solo might be my favorite Gaga moment.
I rather like Edge of Glory. Maybe this is why.

Edge of Glory was the best single from the album......I just can't with the video though.
I was bored....and that is unacceptable from Gaga.

1D's cultural relevance too much for you?

Harry for sure.
Haylor only cements it.
I would be shocked if he doesn't go solo in 2014
unless that cunt ruins his image beforehand
None of them, hopefully.
What kind of career.
Do you think he has a shot?
I mean...I'm sorry, and I know this might be an "old person" argument, but...those boys are almost completely devoid of talent. They may be able to hide that amongst a group...but solo? I dunno...
And I feel like this is a relatively new thing (going solo without a shred of talent). People can say what they want about the previous crop of boybands, but most of them had members that could sing, dance and entertain. And, in Justin's case, produce.
What can any of these guys do to make their solo careers successful other than "Hey, I'm that guy from One Direction"?
Well, they kind of didn't. Only one (maybe two if you count Baby), had a solo career worth talking about.

Eh if I am being honest and removing hyperbole (Like "no talent"....which is untrue. Their format just does a shitty job of displaying the talent they do have).
Probably not. Harry I would give maybe an even shot of having SOME sort of career solo. Zayn could do something on the indie side, but I don't think he could be a solo popstar.
Other three would have no chance.
I am not horribly interested in the idea of them going solo so it doesn't bother me at all that they probably would flop if they went that route
