I don’t have a whole lot to say about this video other than “Ew.” But that’s probably, exactly what Lady Gaga wants us to feel about her male alter-ego, Jo Calderone. Because Jo is gross. Jo, stripping down to his man-panties and groping his package is nasty. Jo reminds me of the “I wanna dance!” dude in one of my favorite movies, Dazed and Confused, and even though I love the flick, the comparison is not not not a compliment.
Here he is again:
So, right? Imagine him (who is Adam Goldberg, and – wait. Is that Christina Ricci in that photo? YES IT IS. Apparently the two dated), messy hair, smoking that cigarette of his, stripping down to his underwear and looking all Lady Gaga-like. I’m not saying that Adam isn’t attractive, because I’m the one who’s infatuated with Adrien Brody and not a lot of people understand that. But I am saying that any hotness he might have possessed after a second or third (or … fourth) look all but evaporated once Jo Calderone arrived on the scene. Because now, I can’t look at Jo Calderone without thinking ‘Adam Goldberg’, nor can I look at Adam Goldberg and think ‘OMG hot’.
See what you’ve done, Gaga? You’ve ruined a perfectly good man with your greasy, skeeviness-masked-as-high-art, which, in actuality, has all been done before, and in case you were wondering if I was still (or, you know, ever) a fan of yours, the answer is a big, resounding ‘HELL NO’.
Other than that, the vocals on the video aren’t bad.
I never said she couldn’t sing.
Horrible, over the top acting, mostly consisting of posing and puffing on a cigarette like mad. I don’t think Jo Calderone is any more interesting than Chris Gaines was.
Or Sasha Fierce.
I thought I was the only one that saw the resemblence between Jo and Chandler’s crazy roommate! “You killed my fish!” ahahaha! Ahhhhhh Friends!
