  • 1:57 Thank you, Todd. The first time I heard that, I was laughing the rest of the night xD

  • lady gaga souled her soul her soul to the devil so everytime she sings people like it and lady gaga is a bitch behind the stage cuz my mom worked there once. lady gaga made the song judas to honor the devil and so i hate lady gaga an i only like the song poker face

  • I want to put My arm around Todd and comfort Him saying - "I know what You're going through Todd, Lady Gaga has raped all of our minds and souls with her incoherent lyrics and broken musical tones, I have cried for many an hour, weeping for My lost innocence, you'll get through it like the rest of Us." Oh and one more thing, does anyone else think Lady Gaga sounds like Gozer from Ghostbusters?

  • I prefer the Skrillex remix of this song. Just saying.

  • Ahahaha. I love Todd in the shadows. That bit with all the horror movie references made me think of "Close encounters of the third kind" "..It has meaning! It has meaning."

  • This is the one song I didn't know much about before but started liking and looked for after seeing the review. Well, this and "Fuck You". Still don't like Most of her other songs, though.

  • The only thing that saves Gaga is the LK parody songs.

  • she used to be an unknown piano player in small places and sold her soul to the devil and now no matter what she does or sings about it is always conisdered good and people like it and it brings her money and there is no meaning its far too abstract so anything could be seen and heard there she is like salvador dali of pop music

  • he could review one of gaga's recent songs like judas

  • hey todd please do another lg (lady gaga) born this way full

  • 1:30-1:55 so that's why she sends a chill up my spine.......still like her, though :)

  • The reason she changes is that pop stars (or at least the ones worth anything) work in eras.

    The Fame is an album that has very shallow themes, based on money, sex, and having a good time. Her dress and singles during that time reflects that.

    The Fame Monster is about the darker side of fame, which is clearly reflected in that video. Bad Romance is a song about being in love with a friend, and she is expressing that closed feeling to being a sex slave.

  • am i the only one that caught the Chuck Palahinuik reference to Invisible Monsters???

  • I only like Poker Face because it annoys the hell out of my friend. We have a bit of a passive aggressive oneupsmanship thing going on.

  • Lady Gaga videos are like something out of Silent Hill.

    Actually, now that I think of it, Gaga herself is like something out of Silent Hill.

  • @julian8456

    holy crap

    I just watched the rest of the video, and Todd actually agrees with me.

  • Wait, didn't GaGa just use Vertigo's score for Born This Way? And she used random Hitchcock movies in Bad Romance?

    ...the hell?

  • wild and free and beyond good and evil.

  • is it odd that his piano is better then the actual song?

  • At 8:10 I thought it was "I shook my bro man!"

  • "I want your ugly", "You have enough of your own!" In my sleep deprived, energy drink fueled state that nearly killed me. Thank you for that Todd!

  • My least favorite thing about Bad Romance is that she says "you and me could write a bad romance" .... Now I understand it when artists skirt grammar rules to make the lyrics flow better or sound better, but "you and I" would sound 100x better in this song! Is it just me? Whyyy?

  • The only way to beat Gaga is with My little Pony friendship is Magic!!!

  • if bad romance didnt have the ra ra ah ah ah ro ma ma gaga oo lala

    it wouldnt have gotten anywhere

    if poker face didnt have the

    pa pa pa poker face pa pa pokerface

    it wouldnt have went anbywhere either

    i love it <3

  • I think poker face is okay (mind you I only like the chorus because I can't understand the rest) but I still prefer DJ Contacreast.

  • I love Todd, but I think lady gaga is too good for him to review. True, it's odd, but she's ridiculously talented and has inspired an entire genre

  • @WIlliamMunnyOutlaw ...What genre?

  • @WIlliamMunnyOutlaw I think he needed to listen to some decent music after reviewing Break Up. And this just happened to be the least good of the songs he listened to in that period.

  • my god have you ever heard of scat? the jazz technique? well yeah it's not a very good technique when your just dribbling out gibberish but it's slightly legit.

  • 5:14 wait go back I was enjoying that song more than i ever will enjoy bad romance

  • After this video, her fans can no longer say that there's any meaning in her songs or MVs. Her songs sound baby babbles which explains her name.

  • I think she is a good singer and her song are catchy (most of theme). the only problem is her music clips are weird. I dont I think she had a bad childhood or her crazy director is her friend or something.

  • The Deep Ones: Hu'la La La La W'an yo'ur b'ad ro'mance Cthulhu R'lyeh!

  • This is the mark of a great comedian or critic. If you disagree with him/her, and yet you still find the review funny, that's rare.

    Although parts of this song are a rip off of "Poker Face", I think the original parts of "Bad Romance" are catchy and well made enough. I love her music videos too, but that's probably because I'm gay and if I say I don't love her style the gay gestapo will make me disappear.

    "Love Game" still sucks ass though. "Disco stick"? Really?

  • Ok, I think the reason people hate Lady Gaga is because she sings and writes catchy tunes, but in real life she's just....weird. I happen to like Lady Gaga's music and couldn't care less how she acted at some football stadium.. or how she acts period. But, that's just me.

  • @TheFallenStar181 The reason people like me hate Lady Gaga is because we generally don't like pop in general. Right now, my music player has Kreator followed by Pestilence, two bands that are completely different in sound from Gaga. The only difference I can discern with Gaga from the rest of pop is she's an actual musician (Julliard trained, legitimately decent singer when not fucking insane), and she doesn't mind treading on the dissonant, evil side... which is more respectable than sappy pop.

  • thnx for the ear bleach at 5:09

  • Aww, don't cry please :'( *hugs Todd*

  • Comment removed

  • Kill it with fire!

  • @mharris802000 1:47 I think she's immune.

  • Like many other Pop singers Gaga has the magical ability to make terrible songs get stuck in your head!

  • You are fucking hilarious man. I only watched you because of the cameos in Nostalgia Chicks videos, watched two vids on TGWTG and just had to watch you from the beginning. You're the first video maker in ages to make me outright laugh out loud multiple times. You are immensely talented and have jumped up the list of video producers I watch along side Spoony and Linkara as being genuinely and consistantly funny. Keep it up.

  • Ah, the sounds of man-crying... Music to my ears! Bwahahahaha!

    -Lady Gaga

  • gaga.......2012 does anyone else see the conection!........Nostradamas was right

  • My sister sighed when she saw this, and said you shouldn't be so cynical.

    I told her that she could take her petulant bullshit all the way back to her Ipod with 'Nyan Cat' on it.

  • Is it about revenge...sex?

  • I think I just died laughing.....

    "Did she run out of English? Is she summoning Cthulhu?"

  • Surprised he didn't make a Troll 2 reference at 2:07

  • "Or she's just profoundly drunk"

    Everything about her just made sense.

  • lady gaga you have got to go. unless you can make music videos that dosent freak people out, or cause us to go insane from your material, you are not worth our cash

  • @redwallfan123 By your standards, no-one should watch The Wall.

  • This is the best review you've done that I've seen. Even including the newer ones.

  • DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAH!!

  • she's no demon she's a silent hill monster luring those poor souls to silent hill

  • Always remember never watch a Lady Gaga music video unless under Toddintheshadows supervision. It saves lifes!

  • Thank,s lady ga ga you make todd wet himself !

  • two words for ya todd, leather pants

  • did she run outta english - is she summoning cthulhu?

    what makes a pop singer decide she wants to make a whole video where she looks like a silent hill monster

    'i want ur ugly' - YOU HAVE ENOUGH OF YOUR OWN

    is there a reason why shes singing this like a vampire with downs syndrome...

    lol briliant

  • Comment removed

  • and also even if i tried to listen to her song, i would take grocery bag as my ticket out of this world

  • todd i agree with you lady gaga is pure evil. the only thing i like from her songs is the chorus of poker face, and that is because of eric cartman. outher than that she scares the fuck out of me. and this video is living proof of how fucked up this craze is

  • I just figured out the FF villains she looks like! And both are slutty! 'Cloud OF Darkness' and 'Ultemicia'! Google them, I dare you, they're gross. And what ARE those white things coming out of the pods, I think those ARE demons or something!

  • @Espadaknight4 Those are baby mini-bosses. Watch, Lady Gaga will be the final boss in FFXV

  • @littlekuribohimposte XD

    ...scary part is that it sounds true...

  • I first say this music video in France and i thought i was on a drug trip.

  • Lady Gaga's new song, Judas, sounds like Bad Romance with a different key signature.

  • dude you're hysterical xD

  • If you don't want to be French, then why were you speaking it?

    Also, she does look like a FF villain.

  • 9:06 yeah, that was about the same reaction I had after I first watched the Bad Romance video.

  • Some of it sort of reminds me of that Silent Hill movie... maybe it was intended as a surrealist horror?

  • Evolve? They de-evolved.

  • You now in some ways Lady Gaga is abit like the Guns'n'Roses of blonde pop stars. No wait hear me out! before G'n'R came glam metal was cheesy and party hearty. Glorifying night life and the sort you know ""Girls Girls" yeah you get it.

    Anyway G'n'R' took it to the extreme and told of a world full off drugs, prostitutes and death.

    Ehh come to think off it it might be pretty far off. What I think I mean that she is like a Hegelian antithesis! Ah forget it.

  • Warning: the events of Lady Gaga's videos are made under controlled conditions at the 'Haus Of Gaga'. Imitate them at your own risk and 'Just Dance' (tm). BTW, fancy Gaga being the next Sailor Moon Sailor Scout or villianess?

  • I swear, all Lady Gaygay does is rip off 80s artists. And try WAY too hard to be weird as hell >_>

  • I heard it first as "I want John Barrowman." Oops ^_^

  • @JennyCThree we all want john barrowan! go look up Barrowman-ce xD

  • @JennyCThree I like how you think -_^

  • WE WANT YOUR LEATHER PANTS

  • Who's always last to know?

    Who fills the air with cries?

    Whose sanity is blasted

    And then who often dies?

    The victims! The victims! Stefani!

    The victims! The victims! Stefani!

  • I think it's funny that on the Alejandro review, he backpedals pretty largely on Bad Romance.

  • Gaga is pleased by your fear, Todd. Your SCREAMS only FEED HER!

  • right as the video ended porbably all of the dogs in my neighborhood cried in what i cqn only preaume to be anguish

  • LMAO @ " vampire with Down Syndrome", and this whole video in general.

  • i like Ke$ha songs though beacuse their catchy

  • Ya know after seeing that video a couple of times and than coming back to your video. For some reason I really feel like playing DOOM.

  • Let's take his leather pa-ants!

  • Watch ya barrowman? does she like torchwood?

  • You know, say what you will about "Bad Romance", I can't say I like it either. But at least it makes an impression. I mean, the seizure-like "roma-roma-ma" sticks to your ear (and you can't tell whether it's annoying or pleasant) and the video is weird enough to get your attention. "Born this way", on the other hand, is so... underwhelming. It sounds boring and, after all the odd stuff we've seen from her, the video looks... common and uninteresting.

  • @Phastolph I know you posted that like 5 days ago, but I found that Born this way is pretty ironic. From what I know it's about her being this weird, crazy musician, and it's her most normal song. And as for Bad Romance, Todd said he the song grew on him and he thinks the video is actually pretty good and suits the video well.

  • @PoppinFresh96 Yeah, I know he said after you get used to the song's weirdness, you'll start enjoying it and I saw him compliment the way the video suits it during "Alejadro"'s review. But, well, I kinda never got used to the forced weirdness of the song, so... But I think it deserves recognition for being... original, noticeable and different.

  • The song is good, but the video makes NO sense.

  • Referring to the French part, in a place where people can stop a video and go straight to the comments, you might not want to make a mistake and immediately correct yourself. Even if it was just a joke.

  • @uneek35 :/ People really shouldn't comment rate or fave a video until they've seen the whole thing though...

  • I love how he has admitted how much he actually likes his song in both of his Top lists this year.

  • @ElvisHairDude8492 He made one reference to her outfit.

  • So you hate this song but at the same time you think it's the best one of the year? I don't get you.

  • @ElvisHairDude8492 I think todd said is was the best song he did a whole video review of.

  • She's not bad if you never see the music video. xD

  • i'm pretty sure the "rear" window was a connotation for something else, lol..

  • we laugh at your pain, todd, we laugh at your pain.

  • "Russian roulette is not the same without a gun"

    You can't play Russian roulette without a gun.

  • @marcus8374 -_-

    

  • @MrShotgunrain3 How to play russian roulett:

    You load a revolver with one bullet, spin the magazine, point the gun towards your head and pull the trigger with a 1/6 or 1/7 chanse that you will kill yourself. (the nagant m1895 holds 7 bullets)

    During the first world war it was popular among the depressed russian officers.

  • @marcus8374 ah i see

  • @marcus8374 I think that was the point, DUH.

  • @joshfantasy77 Sigh, you can't say it that way. It sounds as if she is talking about something that enhances the experience, not something you NEED to be able to play the game.

    Let me illustrate this with two examples

    Right: A party is not the same without beer.

    Wrong: Driving is not the same without a vehicle.

  • I am not of the army of Gaga, but I do enjoy the song. I am not a reader of symbolism nor a "well in the behind the scenes they said..." cultist geek. But the lyrics do paint an image pretty clearly to me (do take note I decorate my house with salvador dali and picasso posters; strange is normal for me)

    The song (in the lyrics) is about abandoning friendship in favor of physical romance even though its obviously a bad idea....destroy the relationship for the romantic impulse....do you disagree?

  • She will definitely evolve into an Akira-style blob of pop star goo. XD

  • That's what I was saying this whole time Todd, she is the devil. This MV is exactly what you see when you're possessed and on every drug known to man.

  • Also, I'd like to point out that Strapping Young Lad is better at desecrating the idea of love. Not that the singer doesn't love, but in a song like "Possessions", there are lyrics such as this - "I want your heart, your soul, and your mind. You'll give me trust, your body, then you're mine."

  • I honestly think this video is about the industry in some way. I don't think she's trying to communicate anything. She's shallow. I just think that this whole gimmick is about how pop stars are grown in a lab, then prostituted out to the public. But then it gets confusing. Shouldn't SHE be the one that dies in the end? That would make more sense. Maybe it's saying that the industry has an agenda to KILL the audience? Either way, she is a demon from hell. No question.

  • lmao I'd laugh if that actually happened, lady gaga decided to kill us all and I'm not going to lie the music video for bad romance scared the crap out of me the first time i saw it...

  • She's Not Evolving... SHE'S MUTATING........

  • Lady Gaga is the biggest disgrace to all of humanity and to entertainment. Her songs are mindless babbling, so that her fans will understand what she's saying. If someone from another country asked me "So what's the best music out in America right now?" I would reply, "Nothing....there is no more music, it's all a bunch of blithering idiots now!"

  • @SB80100 Lady Gaga's songs seem shallow, but they all have a deeper meaning. Anything looks shallow if you don't look more into it!

  • in the seen where shes in red and in the scene where shes in the bath house shes speaking french..... just saying

  • The guy with the golden chin piece is Jurij Bradač. A fellow Slovenian. WHYYYY!? DX

  • HAHA LMAO!!! xD

  • "Ra ra ra". Ra is ancient Egyptian sun god. She is calling a pagan god.

  • @Autoctonal Not only that, she is also using the summoning for Cthulu. Thus she is obviously planning to sacrifice the sun god to the slumbering horror to bring about her own end to all humanity!

  • Thanks to the efforts of Lady Gaga, the Elder Gods will soon beckoned towards our planet, and we shall be see horrors beyond our wildest imaginations.

    In five years, maybe less, mankind will be nothing but a myth, something that once "was".

  • @EyeoftheU But the Elder Gods are not that bad. They are enemies of the old ones who are significantly worse.

    The Elder Gods are indifferent to us I think.

  • @EyeoftheU that explains the deep ones doing the supporting vox

  • Most of the shit in that video looks like it crawled out of Silent Hill.

  • I'm either going crazy, or she lifted the main melody from "Do They Know It's Christmas"?

  • What's the movie "It's a cookbook?"

  • @QuatermassMan that's actually from an episode of The Twilight Zone called "To Serve Man." check it out, it's a good one!

  • 3:41 features Gaga being controlled by a Wiimote and being bought in Pokemon money. Clearly Gaga is the reincarnation of Shigeru Miyamoto.

  • @SuperWarxe No. Shigeru Miyamoto is weird, but not that weird.

    ...

    Also, Shigero Miyamoto is still alive.

  • Dont bring Guns & Roses any where near This demon that gave birth to Justin Beiber

  • Why are there so many people dressed up as an amalgamation of Bart Simpson and Sperm cells?

  • 3:41 Wii nunchuck!

  • his neighbors must think he's crazy

  • Lady Gaga, bride of Yog Sothoth? Only time will tell, but I'm rolling out my sacrificial disembowelment kit just in case. If she really is bringing the apocalypse, I'd like to be on the *right* side of it.

  • @5522NOYB The mythos probably predicted this.

  • Whatchu borrow man?

  • Yay for Lady Gaga summoning Cthulhu!!!

    

  • Yay for Lady Gaga summoning Cthulhu!!!

  • Chuck Palahniuk and Guns N' Roses references in one video? AHHH I LOVE IT!!!

  • Is it bad that I find "Leather Pants", a parody of this song, to make more sense than this song?

  • @Ardith50

    No, cause that song is awesome.

  • @Ardith50 Nope ^_^ Florence and Malik are normal in comparison.

  • @Ardith50 Not at all.

  • Silent Hill Ctuhlu!!!!

  • Tetsuoooooooooo!!!

  • Want John Bar-ROW-man!

    She's obviously a Doctor Who fan.

  • You are the best reviewer of music ever.

  • Ok, you should make a video:

    Go outside and find someone walking in the street,

    (Use the same tone as you did on 1:56) and say

    "WHAT ARE YOU WALKING FOR!? YOU WANNA DIE!?"

  • this is exactly the reason why i left work xD they kept playin this over and over and over

  • I love you

  • @jadencore But...but if he did that, than he wouldn't be in the shadows anymore.

  • @ConfusedShaman Well obviously, but its a stupid gimmick anyway. When he inevitably caves to trend with TGWTG and gets everyone on their bloody website to cameo in his videos, he'll step out of the shadows eventually. 

  • @jadencore Haha, I actually hope he does, because I would love to see his face. :P Also, dumb question: If you know he has videos over on the TGWTG site, why didn't you post your comment on there? It just seems that he would be more likely to look at comments on his more recent videos, rather than one done back in '09. But I dunno.

  • @ConfusedShaman Well because I have no interest in making an account on TGWTG as its full of retarded fanboys that take any criticism you give a video maker and tell you to shove it up your arse. I may send him an email though, thank you for the idea. Also thank you for handling my comment in a reasonable way, if only most of TGWTG could learn from your example.

  • @jadencore There was nothing in your comment to get riled up over. :P You weren't flaming him or insulting him, just making a suggestion. But lol, I know what you mean. I normally don't even comment on videos because people seem to think it's fun to act like a two year old. =.=

  • @jadencore Jaden, congradulations. You have discovered the reason that teenagers use the internet except for pornography.

  • @cryszofthescots What exactly do you mean by that?

  • @jadencore Well, isn't it obvious? Trolling!
