Lady Gaga – Alejandro

admin — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 17:44:16 +0000

Live Yokohama Arena, Japan, April 17, 2010 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003GCB0Z8?ie=UTF8&tag=ub066-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B003GCB0Z8

“Alejandro” is a song by American recording artist Lady Gaga. It is the third single from her second studio album, The Fame Monster (2009). Co-written and produced by RedOne, it is composed as a mid-tempo Europop song with an uplifting melody, where Gaga sings in a non-English accent about bidding farewell to her lovers. It was inspired by Gaga’s “Fear of Sex Monster”. Critics noted it to be heavily influenced by ABBA and Ace of Base, and predominantly gave positive reviews for it.

“Alejandro” charted on the UK Singles Chart prior to its official release, and reached the top-five on the Hungarian Singles Chart due to download sales from the album. It has also charted in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Sweden and the United States—where it became her seventh successive single to reach the top-ten of the Billboard Hot 100. Gaga performed the song on both legs of The Monster Ball Tour, portraying a sexual innuendo scene with her dancers. The song was also performed on the ninth season of American Idol on May 5, 2010.

A music video for the single, which was directed by photographer Steven Klein, was released on June 8, 2010. It was inspired by Gaga’s love for her gay friends and admiration of gay love—”her envy of the courage and bravery they require to be together”. The music video portrays Gaga with a group of soldiers in a cabaret, dancing to the song. It is interspersed with scenes of Gaga as a nun swallowing a rosary and near-naked men, holding machine guns. The music video received from mixed to positive reviews, with critics complimenting its idea and dark nature, while the Catholic League attacked Gaga for her use of blasphemy, despite Klein dismissing the idea and claiming the scene in question (the swallowing of the Rosary beads) was Gaga’s “desire to take in the Holy”.

A good part of the video is dedicated to the Broadway musical Cabaret with a dance scene dedicated to Bob Fosse. The video begins with soldiers sleeping in a cabaret with a close-up of a soldier passed out in fishnet stockings and heels as another lone soldier stares into the distance. The scene then cuts to male dancers performing elaborate choreography while marching forward. As the intro of the song begins, Gaga is shown leading a funeral procession, carrying the Sacred Heart on a pillow. When the lyrics begin, she sits on a throne wearing an elaborate headpiece and binocular-like eyepieces, with a smoking pipe in her hand, watching her dancers perform a rigorous routine in the snow. Gaga is then seen as the character Sally Bowles from Cabaret, dancing and simulating sex acts with three men on a stage with twin beds surrounded by spotlights, all wearing nothing but underwear, intercut with shots of Gaga lying on a larger bed dressed in a red latex nun outfit. She subsequently appears dressed in a white hooded robe reminiscent of Joan of Arc with her dancers, before a shot of her as the nun eating a rosary. After this, Gaga and her dancers are shown in a sequence in black-and-white in their military uniforms performing a tribute dedicated to the late choreographer Bob Fosse, who won an Academy Award for his direction of the film version of Cabaret. Gaga is seen in a blonde bob and a similar outfit to one of Liza Minnelli’s performance costumes. The video moves to a scene of her wearing a bra equipped with AR-15 assault rifle barrels and her dancers performing another dance routine. She is then shown in the empty club, scenes of war breaking out flash by, and the lone soldier appears again. Going back to the Joan of Arc scene, she struggles with her dancers and disrobes. The video ends with her dressed as the nun, the film burning away from her face outwards. Klein explained that the video was, “about a woman’s desire to resurrect a dead love and who can not face the brutality of her present situation. The pain of living without your true love.”

What measures should I take? I see someone down the street from my window?

admin — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 05:17:28 +0000

I think I heard something outside my house so I looked out and I saw a person walking about 300 feet down the street in black clothes and a white hat. Our street is in the shape of a bracket. He looked like a robber wearing all black and a white hat and I thought I saw him look at me with shifting eyes when I was standing at my window with my binoculars. I was kind of hidden behind my curtains but I’m afraid he might have saw me. Now I’m afraid he might come to my house or something because he saw me see him. I’ve never seen him before and my neighbourhood only has about 800 people in it. And I know I’ve never seen him before because I video tape usually through the day what goes on outside and then review it later that night, but today I didn’t have my video tape on and he might have known that..should I call 911? Or the fire department? WHAT SHOULD I DO!?!
