One of my favorites from Lady Gaga. I was really disappointed when this didn't go to #1 on AT40. Otherwise, it would've been her 7th #1 in a row.

One of my favorites from her as well. I also enjoy the video.

I loved it at the time but it hasn't aged as well as some of her others. If I ranked all her singles, it would be towards the end. Still, I enjoy it.
What I don't enjoy is the video. I remember turning it off after three minutes because the song still hadn't started. I finally watched it a few weeks later and I wasn't impressed.

I like it less than "Bad Romance", but more than "Telephone". It also aged well for me. The video is too long and... errr not my thing.
Why the "(2011)" in the thread title though? :)

I didn't care for this as the third single from the album at the time but then the video came out and it somehow changed how I felt about the song. It's not my favourite from her but I still love it. I love how cold the video is too. Probably my second or third favourite video from her.

Love the song, but the video was when she started doing too much for me.

I still like it. "Bad Romance" and "Telephone" are better songs/singles.

Love "Alejandro". One of my favorite singles by her (behind Bad Romance and Paparazzi, on par with Do What U Want). I actually like the video - the second half isn't the best but there is some great cinematography and choreography (and eye candy).

I loved this from the first listen. Easily one of her best singles.
The video sucked though and was the first thing from her that generally got a negative reception.

I wasn't a fan of this when it was first announced as a single, but I really enjoy it now. It is still one of my least favorite singles from her, however.
I don't like the video at all.

This is easily my favorite Lady Gaga song. I was glad that this was a single but I too was disappointed it didn't do as well. It was quite a risky choice for a single given that it was in the 90s Eurodance and Reggae sound that Ace Of Base used to do. It sounds very different from anything Gaga had done at that time and since then. I preferred the demo version that had surfaced before the final album version.

I absolutely love the Ace of Base sound of this. It's definitely one of her best singles for me.

I always really liked it and grew to love it. Silly lyrics, but it's catchy and has a nice melody.

Love this song. One of my favorite singles from Lady Gaga. (I've never been invested in her enough to check out her albums except for The Fame and The Fame Monster)
But shouldn't this one be in 2010s since it was a single in 2010? Or is it ok because The Fame Monster came out in late 2009?

Probably my favorite single by her, up there with "Paparazzi." I love the whole vibe of the song, it's like the bastard lovechild of Ace Of Base, ABBA and "La Isla Bonita." And it's dated in all the perfect ways that make it still sound fresh
The video on the other hand was an over-indulgent mess and was the first real crack in her career. I wish at that point she had taken a step back to listen to the feedback, but nope. She just kept chipping away.

I absolutely love this bop
It was dated in sound but in a way that worked wonders for it
The video I'm ok with, it's not a favorite but it's not bad

Still in my top 5 Gaga songs, a masterpiece. I really liked the dark vibes in the video, too.
I just came across this, and it makes it sound like it could literally be a hit today.

I used to hear this song a lot and to this day, I think it's one of her best songs. It was always hard to get the "Ale-ale-jandro Ale-ale-jandro" out of my head.
