After lots of “leaks” Lady Gaga finally released the full version of her video for the song Alejandro<\/em> on Tuesday. Musically, the song is catchy enough, but if you remember Ace of Base and Madonna’s La Isla Bonita<\/em>, you won’t find anything groundbreaking. While the video also has its references to her predecessors – think Like a Prayer<\/em> for the Catholic imagery or Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation<\/em> for the dancing military men, the cinematography is arresting and Lady Gaga pushes the envelope further than Jackson or Madonna. Plus, most of her fans probably missed the others the first time around (not having been born and all) so it will still be something new for at least one generation.<\/p>\n
