LADY GAGA ALEJANDRO OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO


Playing the devil's advocate here with a fun video of Lady Gaga and Madonna comparisons. I like Lady Gaga, have even seen her in concert, so don't get me wrong here. I made this for fun to show that %26ampquot;originality%26ampquot; is tough these days, especially when Madonna is the queen of pop and has done it all. So, whether it be coincidence, inspiration, or copying is for you to decide, and that's why I made this- to pose that very question and see where everyone stands :). I know a lot of these clips are different in many respects, and I'm NOT saying Gaga intentionally copied every single thing. Many inspirations Madonna and Gaga did pull from other artists and places, but it's still amusing to see and I have fun making videos and just want to see where people stand on this :). Again, PLEASE NOTE: i am NOT necessarily saying Gaga is copying Madonna, I'm just presenting the similarities I found and leaving it for the viewers to discuss, so feel free to attack me rather than coming up with something constructive if that's all you got. I'm tough so give me your worst lol ;). With that: Enjoy! :) EDIT: Youtube reduced the quality and took away the HQ option, so I do apologise for that.LADY GAGA ALEJANDRO OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

3d Hologram

This is interesting:

duckinwales posted a photo:



Last night we went to the wonderful Nant Clwyd y Dre in Ruthin for a lecture on bats, and an evening bat watching. (Nant Clwyd y Dre is the oldest surving townhouse in Wales - more details at www.denbighshire.gov.uk/en-gb/DNAP-762LM7 ).

The lecture was by Kate Taylor of Denbighshire County Council's Biodiversity Team, and a Bat Cam was installed in the attic to enable us to watch the bats. Later on we were issued with bat detectors to help us as we we watched the bats appear for an evening hunting. The great talk had a lovely PowerPoint provided by the Bat Conservation Trust www.bats.org.uk/.

Nantclwyd y Dre was also playing host to an exhibition of 3d holograms developed by Professor Hans Bjelkhagan in conjunction with Technium OpTIC of St Asaph and Glyndwr University in Wrexham.

The BBC have an article news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/north_east/8663167.stm , but I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in imaging, history, or museums.

The holograms, bats and setting are absolutely stunning. Highly recommended.3d Hologram

Sitting on the front room floor with that old shag carpet underneath me and my favorite hanging lamp over my head. Joe and Edmond are over for a short visit. Making plans for some incredible fun a little later. How long can this go on?

Why I Love to Continue Down This Road

Spending some time in bed catching some extra Zs. Here with Carlos, Vinnie, Trina, Patrick and 3 other people I dont even know yet but probably will in the next few hours. Stealing a little bit of shuteye on the sly I have to admit - but that aint so bad. How long can this go on?

No Worries . . .

In the hallway by the closed door. Rug at my feet and a lamp overhead. Have my nephew over for 3 days trying to figure out what he likes. Playing a couple of mind games that youd never be able to figure out. Thinking that life couldnt really get any better . . . And not expecting it to.

Hanging out

Outside the door with the cool letters on it. Parents are going to be visiting so thinking about that. Getting ready to get some food together because I can feel a real hunger coming on. Thinking about changing jobs - a scary prospect.

Never Doubt

Out in the backyard on the newly redone patio. Hanging out with the crew that we met at the club last week. Building a cool new concept in my mind. I can see it now taking shape and can imagine that were going to have something pretty cool when it all comes together. Trying to figure out who to bring along when we head out a little later.

Staring out the window at the world that surrounds me in this little place that I like to call home. Sarah and I are getting a little get to know you time together. Making plans for some incredible fun a little later. Considering grabbing some drinks for the evening chill.

Ive been wondering about a few things lately

Spending the day away from Carol. Got the cousins visiting and need to show em a good time tomorrow. Staring at the ceiling at the moment. How many birds in the hand are worth one in the bush?
