OK, I am not blown away from the clip of the Alejandro music video but will hold off on any judgements in full until I see the final video in full. I am glad GaGa confirmed NO NEW ALBUM FOR CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR! But she did say the third album is complete and it is a fan's ANTHEM for our generation...this also means, MORE THE FAME MONSTER SINGLES- here we go... After Alejandro- the 4th single will be- Dance In The Dark the 5th single will be- Monster the last single off TFM will be- Speechless (just because GaGa said it would be a single and they need a ballad to release)...Speechless will bridge the gap between The Fame Monster and the new album. Sounds good.

She's your generation's top Madonna impersonator, nothing more. The video looks like a hybrid of "Vogue" and "Rhythm Nation." So she has one outfit similar to something Madonna wore, so what? How bout we reserve judgment until the actual video comes out. Kthx. Pssh..Speak for yourself! If this is Rhythm Nation than that means we will get to see Tyrin Turner make a cameo. I love that due to the vid being in b&w and Gaga wearing pants it's so Vogue. Like seriously? I can't.

"The Fame Monster" has sold well over the amount to be certified platinum in Japan and was still the #4 album last week. It's the #13 album of the year so far. "The Remix" is the #36 album of the year so far and is certified Gold.

^^ Lol...I know right. Mess.
I do hope that some of the video is in color not due to lame comparisons because I could really give a sh*t but rather because I want to see all of her fabulous ensembles in their full glory. :)
I also never expected Alejandro to be in black and white not even a little bit. Then again expect the unexpected with Gaga.

Video looks good! I'm definitely anticipating it. For some reason, I figured it would be in B&W.
Hopefully the dumb story line was thrown away.
Oh, and they should either end the singles with 'Alejandro' IMO. Give people a chance to miss GaGa. If not, go with 'Monster' next and then definitely end it after that.

Video looks really good, even though Lara Stone did it better.

Um No! Sorry Dr. Freud but there is no conflict going on just me poking fun of the ridiculousness of your statement from seeing a 19 second clip. :'(
We get it- you're a Madonna Stan and Gaga is just another cheap knock off of Queen Madge. *claps* Yay You!
Good Day/Night. :)

Anthem for our generation? I don't think so.
4 singles at least would be good...6 no, 5 maybe.

The preview of the video looks really good. :) I loved what I saw so far. I wonder if the whole video will be black and white? Hopefully it's just a portion of it.
I can see how people might compare some of the looks to Madonna's "Vogue", "Express Yourself", "Erotica", and Janet Jackson's "Rhythm Nation", however, this is just one piece of it. None of them invented those styles and it bears a resemblance. Nothing wrong with that. If it were a homage, that would be even more fun. :)
BTW, I would love "Monster" or "Dance In The Dark" as the next single.

The newest clip of Alejandro sort of made me excited again for the video when I wasn't before.

I don't get why some fans are so sensitive when people point out obvious similarities with Madonna's "Vogue". Come on. B&W, blonde chick with short hair, striking poses, dancing alone and with hand above head... the whole fashion + dance vibe was key to Vogue. Now if the video goes deeper into eroticism, maybe some resemblances to Justify My Love... Madonna is one of the Top Video Icons in Pop history, so even when she has not necessarily invented many things, she made video classics which images will be easily associated with. At the same time, it's impossible to judge a (seemingly long) video only from an 18-second snippet. Maybe those are the only images that resemble to Madge's video. Maybe not. We'll see. What I like though is that Lady Gaga keeps switching her images. From LoveGame on, all videos have different aesthetics and concepts. Awesome for a Pop artist. Well done!
PS: I checked the preview at Perez :o Star of David plus man in underwear tied and Gaga in underwear uncomfortable... Controversial!!

I think it shows just how iconic Madonna is. Pretty much every blonde pop star doing anything has been accused of copying Madonna-it is because Madonna has done it all and did a lot of it first.

I just want to say that I truly am all for everyone giving their opinions. I'm not a Stan of any artist so I don't take offence- I joke and whatnot but at the end of the day my opinion is tops for me. The comparisons for some come naturally and that's fine. Madonna is and will forever be one of Pop's top visual artists, obviously.
I heart Madonna in my own way as well. The correlation to Madonna was not my first thought (this clip is too damn short) nor my second (what is that guy doing to her?) yet I can see why some would make the connection right off the bat.
At the end of the day, it is what it is. :)

I'd release "Monster" as the fourth and final single off the album. Take a break and then come back in early 2011 with the lead single off her next album.

I always imagined the video to have an Alexander The Great kind of theme but this one looks great too!
