Keepin' up with Rihanna and Lady Gaga

Ahh, so in case you seriously don't watch MTV or you just dont care. Both Rihanna and Lady Gaga have new vids out and these ladies rule the video charts. I can't go anywhere without seeing either one of them and frankly their faces are starting to bug me.

I kid.

first on the chopping block we have Lady Gaga's mini opus, homage, basic rip-off, way too long, monochromatic much....video for "Alejandro." The song, an ABBA tinged dance medley from the "Fame Monster" finally gets a video and is it everything little monsters we're waiting for.

Nah.

As much as I can go gaga for gaga, this video is boring. The colors are harsh and what's with all the catholic church sexualization? *Yawn* Over it. Madonna already did it Gaga, and yeah cone-bra we see you. Can we get some glitter and soon? Why? It's mad sparkly. I'm sorry this video just does not do it for me and it might be a tattle tale sign that Gaga needs to recharge because nothing about this video echoes her earlier videos that gave you this feeling of "OOH LEMME SEE!"



Onto Rihanna, by the way, this video came out long before "Alejandro." That's for anyone who wants to say that she's copying.
Already this song from the "Rated R" album is about a lesbian tryst (everyone is kissing each other these days hmmm..) the video is *nice* but so much can be done you know? I'm really getting tired of all the pop starlets running around doing things to "shock" the public. We. Are. Shocked.

In contrast to Gaga's video we have lots of colors here which is nice, but, yeah it's all very same same-y. Maybe as viewers we're becoming jaded.
