Sure, Lady GaGa has "reinvented" the music video genre (oh! you hadn't heard? yes, along with the wheel, smizing and FaceBook) but her videos (give or take a Bad Romance) rarely do what great music videos (like, say, Beyonce's "Imma lectchu finish Taylor!" Single Ladies) are supposed to do: get you excited about the song. Was anyone excited about Telephone because of its Tarantino inspired video? Did Alejandro's crazy Nazi/Catholic nun vogue spread ahem...video give the track any more traction? Eh, maybe. But not for me.
If I'm in love with Kylie's Get Outta My Way video (and here I'm probably biased since I love love love every one of her videos - Come Into My World is my all-time favorite video of all time: such simplicity and whimsy!) it's because it doesn't want to be a short film nor does it want to shock and awe and disgust you into tuning in. It's just... gorgeous to look at and enjoyable to watch.
Enjoy!

I agree with you re: GaGa's post-'Bad Romance' video output (although, if I remember correctly, you were calling bullshit on her 'Bad Romance' video as well) but I have to disagree about the 'Get Outta My Way.' I think the song is fantastic but the video is so meh. Pretty, yes, but she kinda stands around and struts the entire time. Where's the energy? Where's the no bullshit attitude the song is all about? Love the song to pieces but the video doesn't do it for me (it's still better than 'Alejandro,' though).
All I know is the video makes me wanna dance surrounded by scantily clad guys and that's something a Gaga video has never achieved.
It's absolutely fantastic isn't it? Love it.
Of course, Kylie is my religion, but that's fine. Everyone needs a vice in life.
