Lady Gaga Garners Round of ‘Applause’ for New Video

Posted byBy Leo | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Lady Gaga premiered her new video today for the single “Applause” on the “Good Morning America” show. Gaga was there to guest host GMA and talk about her new video and upcoming album “ARTPOP,” which is scheduled to be released November 11. According to huffingtonpost.com:

“The visuals to ‘Applause’ show Gaga in various levels of dress, from a full black hooded bodysuit, to almost entirely naked, with just seashells or a set of hands covering her breasts. While parts of the video are shot in stark black-and-white, others are done in striking color with Gaga sporting dramatic makeup and get-ups.”

The song was released prematurely last week by Gaga, after hackers starting publishing low-quality versions of the song on the Internet. Gaga’s ‘little monsters’ (fans) took to social media to encourage people to stop sharing the song before its release. However, rather than fighting it, Lady Gaga decided to release the song, and now the visuals, a little earlier than planned.

Gaga is set to perform “Applause” live at MTV’s Music Video Awards Sunday. The song is the first single from her upcoming album “ARTPOP,” which is her third. It’s kind of ironic that this is only Gaga’s third album, yet she seems like a veteran, considering her popularity.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
