We see powerful women and a futuristic style crop up in this one, which continues to be a feature of her videos to date. Plus, it is packed full of dance moves that are pretty easy to mimic for your next big night on the town.

PAPARAZZI

The techno beat made Paparazzi a massive summer hit and keeps it fresh to this day. The eight-minute video for this song was leaked in advance of its release which helped to build the anticipation for the real launch. Continuing to use mini-films to tell her lyrical stories through video, we see an action-packed thriller where Gaga is thrown from a balcony to her death. Gaga’s unique style and many outfit changes in this one make the video iconic in terms of style. It is easy to see why it was nominated for 5 awards at the MTV video music awards.

TELEPHONE

“I don’t wanna talk anymore

I got my head and my heart on the dance floor”

Gaga is using her voice again here to focus on one message and that is that we are being bombarded by technology. Originally rejected by Britney Spears, Gaga recorded her version featuring Beyonce for the Fame Monster in 2008. The video told in the form of a short story was an instant hit. The powerful duo received a Grammy nomination for their performance.

ALEJANDRO

Back to her girl power ways, Gaga uses the pop song of Alejandro, to break poor Alejandro’s heart. This is both a dance floor tune and a statement love song. This one created a scene with its video and if it’s one thing that Gaga knows how to do well, it is create a buzz around her music and style. It even led to the Guardian writing a piece about how many groups were offended by it. 

SHALLOW FROM A STAR IS BORN

In ‘A Star is Born’ we see Gaga transform into a leading lady beside her co-star Bradley Cooper. In the remake of this classic movie we are mesmerized by Gaga’s natural voice. Up until now we saw her as a pop diva, with Shallow, she was transformed into a lyrical queen. The vulnerability in the story mixed with the melodic chords show off every aspect of her talent.

It is safe to say that Lady Gaga has won the hearts and imagination of the younger generation. Her captivating performances and catchy tunes will always hold a special place in our hearts.
