The penitentiary shown shows an uncanny resemblance to the cells in Alcatraz, located on an island in San Francisco which portrays the setting as a hyper-real environment. This is due to the fact that the women inside the penitentiary who are prisoners are dressed provocatively and not in the symbolic strait-jackets and the women officers dress butch. The video uses ideas such as Diet Coke can used as curlers in Lady Gaga’s hair and also portrays the prison as a non-stereotypical prison Gaga is creating a bricolage. But is this what Lady Gaga represents? Or what she’s merely making other people think she represents.ĭuring the first few seconds of the video, the typography used resembles that used in ‘Pulp Fiction’ – also labelled as a postmodern film. Looking at Lady Gaga’s ‘Telephone’ video, you can almost instantly tell that the producers are using postmodernism. But it’s still good, it’s still music and it’s still fun. I guess the only way it could be called strange is because that’s not Panic’s style it’s incongruous. But seeing Urie help an etiolated, old lady cross the street with a big smile on his face, has got to be the cutest thing that I have ever seen and makes up for the normality of the whole video. He’s not even decked out in his suit (which has become an icon now). Bikini-clad girls surrounded him popping champagne and I realised that there wasn’t a vestige of the Panic that I know and love.Īfter Urie uploading the fantastic, theatrical video of ‘Emperor’s New Clothes’ onto YouTube a month ago, watching ‘Victorious’ was so “normal” that I almost got whiplash. Brendan Urie is getting over his ex-girlfriend and every good deed that he does, he gets rewarded and feels like a “washed-up celebrity”. One week ago, Panic released their official music video for ‘Victorious’ and it is anything but strange. But it’s still good, it’s still music and it’s still fun.American rock band, Panic at the Disco have always released bizarre music videos it’s the one thing that I always look forward to.
