Those among you who remember Madonna’s music videos for Oh Father and Like a Prayer can enjoy a walk down memory lane thanks to Lady Gaga. The newest queen of pop released a video for her hit song Alejandro which plays with some taboo religious icons.
Gaga dons a nun’s habit in the new video and struggles to fight her attraction to men. But so much for chastity and self-control… Near the end of the song, she offers her practically nude self to a dozen men.
The background for this video is very 1984 by George Orwell with a militaristic choreography.
Lady Gaga also wears a bra with a protruding gun barrel pointing out of each cup. The bra is strangely reminiscent of those worn by Madonna and the dancers and created by French designer Jean-Paul Gaultier.
The mixture of religion and sex create the controversy surrounding this video for Alejandro. It’s a song from The Fame Monster, the enhanced edition of her debut album, The Fame.
The star has an erotic scene on a little bed with one of her dancers. She is dressed in a flesh-coloured bathing suit that gives the impression she is naked. She also wears an androgynous cut which stresses her admitted bisexuality.
