music videos

Has anyone caught some of Lady gaga's videos? I almost have too since she is on the radar of my students. (I will say she has a wonderful voice and clearly she is talented musically)

But it strikes me that in most of her videos there is a scary trend in removing the "human-ness" to her and in her storylines.

I know that there are many videos now that almost revel in depravity....essentially soft porn....

But hers are interesting....they show, even in her expressions, almost a robotic, disconnect in her expressions and a new low in meaningless relationships. The eyes are telling, either mannequin like or covered....

Any thoughts? It's always a shame that such a talent produces such....weird stuff...

Yes, I definitely think that she is a very talented musician, but her choice of literature is not the best. She knows music very well, but I don't think highly of her since she started doing all of this techno-sexual stuff.... But, I suppose that that is what society wants.

aen't they weird? of course, I usually don't get the whole storyline of most modern music videos.
