The buzz around this has got me listening to G.U.Y. today (haven't listened to artpop since December) and I love that "touch me touch me don't be sweet" part You mean the bit that sounds almost identical to the Lovegame bit? Good video.

After seeing the video, I really wish that she'd used it for a new song. Combined with great material and anticipation, it would have been an absolute killer.
As it stands though, it's a great video with a tired record behind it.

Welcome back Gaga, she aint fucking around. She is always better when she having fun instead of seeking to be taken too serious. We cool as long as she doesnt act like she curing AIDS, music is suppose to be fun! bravo.

Naturally, I don't understand the video. Gotta fully analyze it later. Lol. The 'ARTPOP' & 'Venus' "scenes" were ok, definitely unnecessary, but was used to further promote the album. The actual 'G.U.Y.' music video was amazing. I like she didn't overdue it & went completely off the wall. The images were beautifully & I liiivvvveee for that long, white wig! I hope this can revamp this era & change some things around.

It's as if she knew EXACTLY who to feature to get the gays interested again.

Those people don't really appeal to the general public. I don't even know who the housewives are. I know she used "housewives from a popular TV show" only because of this thread. I'm assuming they were the awkward women in pink? The video would have been better without them. As for the video, is was aesthetically pleasing to look at. Loved the video!

What a fucking masterpiece. Loved every bit of the video itself. The first few minutes (the "film" portion) weren't necessarily amazing, but they were definitely great. The "G.U.Y." video itself, though, was one of her best yet. I'd put it right up there with "Bad Romance" in the very top tier.
I really hope this becomes a hit and this era can see a turnaround for her.

She always rides a very thin line between self-awareness and delusion, and this video definitely takes me back to the days when she seemed very self aware of what she was doing and how she was perceived. The beginning dramatics was completely unnecessary but it was also interesting to see her kind of represent the initial failure of Artpop (whatever the cause may be) and then be "reborn" with GUY. It was a good video. I agree, I don't get why everyone is salivating over those Bravo twats being featured but whatever gets her the views I guess.
I keep going back and forth with whether or not I could see people really getting into this song. It still seems like kind of a long shot but if it does take off the video will be completely to thank for it.

The video actually makes me like the song more, so...great job, Gaga. For real though, the video was fantastic. I loved all of it but the GUY section was borderline brilliant. Very impressed. I agree with the Bravo "stars" hate squad though. They are completely unnecessary as human beings and as video presences. I can't stand Andy Cohen and the Housewives are worthless.

Love the video. She picked the wrong Housewives cast, though.

Not that I care but Perez hasn't even mentioned on his blog that the GUY video exists. He's probably kicking himself for the Gaga beef.

Great video. I get that Bravo paid for it, but did we really need Andy Cohen in the sky? That's the only part that felt off.
In terms of strategy, she should really have used this opportunity as a platform to mark the end of the Artpop era (because let's face it, the album *is* dead, regardless of what she does at this point) and launch a brand new, killer single. The video is ace - it's just too bad it's for G.U.Y., because ultimately, no one's going to care and it's not going to move her forward at all. Remind everyone of why you're great, get a massive "comeback" hit, then relaunch in 8-10 months with a new album.

Very entertaining video although the Bravo TV show personality placement was in poor taste. Aside from that, I was entertained from start to finish and enjoyed the theme that she has been referencing in her interviews: stabbed in the back by money-hungry suits from her label, rejuvenated by her people during 'Venus', and after some dance moves, took revenge on these suits at the end of 'G.U.Y.'. Definitely an "A" video reminiscent of early Gaga, the best video artist from the past decade.

I think the Bravo peeps are there to represent pop culture when she came into the scene.
