Lady GaGa's vides went from being awesome (The Fame era, +Bad Romance), to just a bunch of homoeroctic humping between mutiple men and women with no substance ever since the Telephone music video. Not to mention they are unnecessarily long, especially Alejandro. Katy Perry's videos are actually always decent. Every one of them.

I love how this... i'm shocked at the Alejandro comparisons after the video teaser premiered. ...is what started this conversation. Nobody on this forum even mentioned the "Alejandro" video and yet here we are, a page later, talking about it. Let me try an experiment: I can't BELIEVE all the Rihanna fans saying the "Last Friday Night" video is a rip-off of "Unfaithful".

I think every music video from the TD era has been great, I wish we could have seen a music video for Hummingbird Heartbeat though.
Decent performance on that Just Dance show just now, but she seemed out of breath a couple of times (or maybe it was just LQ stream). POM should rock in UK now after this promo. :)

How is this performing in the UK, and just worldwide? Does anyone know?

It goes to iTunes in the UK in just under three hours. It was up 17-11 in airplay last week and a version by the Teenage Dreamers has been floating around the bottom of the top 100 on iTunes for a few days. It's definitely a contender for number one.

Meh. She should use more pre-recorded vocals, or do it acoustically.

Definitely not her best performance, not as good as the Grammy's. The backing track seemed very loud.

eek, that was not good. Visuals and spectacles very cool, outfit was cool, but the vocals were terrible. Girl needs some vocal coaching stat. I don't understand why she wouldn't want to?

I can't wait to see the video for this. The concept looks to be a very interesting one to say the least. I hope it really delivers, because she's put out some pretty good videos over the years.

Well it's not like she can't sing, she definitely can.
This was just not as good as the Grammy's and she seemed out of breath relatively quickly which surprised me. She did go for more edgier notes than in the Grammy performance though.
POM back up to #9 on iTunes. :)

Please explain. I honestly hope it's NOT a political statement. She should stay clear of that.

It wasn't as good as the Grammy's because she lip synced there. Did everyone forget that part?

She should stay clear of that. because war is a huge deal. the coalition has gone into baghdad and afghanistan and killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people (which u may not have noticed while u were dancing to california girls) - you should watch the collateral murder videos on youtube. when MIA did it she was making a political statement. even when gaga did it she was making a statement for dont ask dont tell. look katy can do it wihtout political reference but it seems thoughtless, humourless, tactless.....

Yeah Wide Awake is epic. :'( I think they're gonna release Dressing Up though, unfortunately.

I love Wide Awake! Definitely hearing some hit potential there. :) Though I'm going to need to hear a full version Dressing Up before I decide which one I think should be released next.

Wide Awake is definitely good, and a new direction for her. But, I think rumors of Dressin' Up being released next means it's better.

Meh. She should use more pre-recorded vocals, or do it acoustically. yikes. i think there's a difference between being able to carry a tune and being able to sing. for me, she clearly falls in the former category. but her voice is perfect for her type of music so it doesn't really matter does it.
