Roma-roma-mamaa... Ga-ga-ooh-la-la...

It's finally out- Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance"video, and it is sick and twisted in all the right ways.  Murder, death, torture, sex, fashion, hairless cats.  We would expect nothing less from the Haus of Gaga, especially when collaborating with Francis Lawrence.  Some of her ensembles include razor blade sunglasses, a white bear skin coat (head included), spark spraying bra, protruding vertebrae, crowns galore, and Alexander McQueen's latest extraterrestrial-inspired 12-inch platform shoes.  White spandex clad dancers emerge from alien-pod-like coffins and pay homage to MJ's Thriller with plenty of writhing and jerking.  Models kidnap and force feed vodka to our protagonist, the double-jointed and pupil-dilated bathing beauty, before pawning her off to Russian mobsters.  Don't worry though; she gets her revenge.

As for the song.  Well, it's heavily produced pop with catchy hooks and solid beats, but Miss G sets herself apart vocally from other pop artists during the verses.  Her deep, almost husky voice captures the angst and agony that this song is all about.  This video is definitely worth 5 minutes of your time, but with theatrics like these, she'll have you coming back for more.
