Mother Monster aka Lady Gaga has premiered the video for the fourth single lifted from her Born This Way album, the power rock ballad Yoü and I.
The track, which Gaga originally showcased at Elton John's White Tie and Tiara Ball in June 2010, was due to have the video premiere this coming Thursday following an interview with MTV; but in true Gaga fashion she's done what she likes and delivered it early. No complaints from my point of view, because the video is brilliant.
Featuring her alter-egos Jo Calderone (the bloke who has a eerie resemblance to Bob Dylan) and Yuyi (the mermaid she debuted at her recent Sydney Monster Hall gig), Gaga doesn't let her fans down. After most criticised her video for the previous single The Edge of Glory, the video for Yoü and I clearly makes up for it and more.
This is Lady Gaga's best video clip since Telephone. Hands down.
Before you watch the clip, let's get this out of the way (because it's overly distracting)... the hot bloke that you can't keep you eyes off is American actor Taylor Kinney, last seen playing Mason Lockwood in the CW TV series The Vampire Diaries.
Brilliant points to note:
+ Choreography to a power ballad in a barn and a corn field. Brilliant. Period.
+ Yuyi and Kinney making out. Mermaid sex just got hotter.
+ Calderone and Gaga making out. Self love (ahem) just got very 2011.
Well done Gaga, you shown 'em whatcha made of.
Yoü and I and Born This Way are available digitally today [iTunes]
