Madonna released her Girl Gone Wild video and I find it hysterical that little monsters are crying "copycat" all over the world wide web. Apparently to their blind little eyes and impaired version of history, they think Madonna's ripped off the Alejandro video when all Madonna really did was go back to her Erotica era with a video reminiscent to
Justify My Love and Vogue.
You see, the Alejandro video was a rip off of Vogue, Express Yourself and Human Nature so to claim that Madonna is now lifting from Lady Gaga is a moot point and utterly laughable because if Madonna really copied anyone, she copied herself. I didn't even want to give it attention because it's a joke. I can't blame Gaga's fans for not yet being born when Madonna did all this.
Men in high heels - not Gaga's original idea either. Neither was being surrounded by androgynous men wearing make up. For the video, Madonna tapped Kazaky, a boy band from the Ukraine known for wearing stiletto heels.
Once again look toward Madonna's uncensored Erotica video but feel free to fax your complaint to 555-EAT-SHIT and I'll file it in the complaint box (points to trash can).
Some arguments are really ridiculous, ranging from Madonna copying Gaga for smoking in her video and mascara smeared tears. If you really want to go there, go and watch some of Madonna's older videos like Bad Girl (also from Erotica) for example. Lots of people smoked in videos and cried in videos. So what. On either side, there isn't any copying. Move on.
One major distinction between Girl Gone Wild and Alejandro is that Madonna is able to pull off being sexy without trying too hard but when Gaga attempts to be sexy, it usually ends up as an epic failure.....and fail she did in the Alejandro video.
