"Paparazzi"
Song

"Paparazzi" is a song by American recording artist Lady Gaga, released as the final single from her debut album, The Fame. Written by Rob Fusari and Gaga, the song was the album's third single in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Italy, the fourth in Canada and the United States and the fifth in Australia, New Zealand and France. It was released on July 6, 2009 in the United Kingdom and four days later in Australia. Initially, "LoveGame" had been planned as the third single release in the United Kingdom, but it was decided that "Paparazzi" would be released instead because of the potentially controversial lyrics and music video of "LoveGame".[3] The song was written by Gaga to portray her struggles with her quest for fame. It is an up-tempo dance song whose lyrics describe a stalker following somebody to grab attention and fame.

"Paparazzi" has been critically acclaimed for its fun-filled, club-friendly nature. The accompanying music video shows Gaga as a doomed starlet, hounded by photographers, who is almost killed by her boyfriend. It shows her survival, comeback, revenge on her boyfriend, and experiences on the way to fame. The song reached the top ten of the official charts in Australia, Canada, Ireland and United Kingdom, while reaching number one in Germany and the Czech Republic. In the United States it has reached six on the Billboard Hot 100.

Gaga performed the song live at The Fame Ball Tour, where it was the opening song, the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, where she won Best Art Direction and Best Special Effects awards, and on Saturday Night Live in October 2009. As a Rapunzel-like character, she also performed it on The Monster Ball Tour. On the second leg of the tour Gaga performed the song alongside a giant anglerfish who attempted to devour her, but was killed after her leotard shoots sparks into the monster.

Writing and inspiration

When Ron Slomowicz from About.com referred to different interpretations of the single, Gaga responded:

Well I'm so glad there are a few different interpretations, that was the idea. The song is about a few different things – it's about my struggles, do I want fame or do I want love? It's also about wooing the paparazzi to fall in love with me. It's about the media whoring, if you will, watching ersatzes make fools of themselves to their station. It's a love song for the cameras, but it's also a love song about fame or love – can you have both, or can you only have one?[4]

To the Australian Daily Telegraph, Gaga explained that the song was also about struggling to balance success and love.[5] Bill Lamb from About.com concurred that "the song is a tribute of sorts to the symbiotic but ultimately fake and 'plastic' relationship between stars and their trailing paparazzi [...] who, for better or worse, are there to document and, in a sense, create the stardom."[6]

"Paparazzi" has a similar up-tempo composition to the previous singles "Just Dance" and "Poker Face"[7] and carries a sultry beat.[8] The song has a moderate electro-synth groove and is in the key of C minor with a tempo of 115 beats per minute.[9] It is set in common time, and Gaga's vocal range spans from a low-note of G3 to the high-note of E♭5. The song follows in the chord progression of Cm–A♭–C–N–C.[9] According to Bill Lamb of About.com, Gaga's voice is heard above these beats, seductively as if enticing the listener to the complex world of stardom.[6] "Paparazzi" is based on slightly langorous synth textures and incorporates percussion to convey the emotions.[6] Emotions lying in the composition range from sexual desire, dread, and resigned acknowledgment to an insistence to have fun.[6] The lyrics of "Paparazzi" deal with stalking and the trappings of fame.[10]

The song has been critically acclaimed by music critics. Jill Menze of Billboard, while reviewing The Fame Ball Tour, complimented Gaga's vocals on the song by saying, "The fame-obsessed ballad 'Paparazzi' showed how adept she can be with her range."[11] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian said that, "You may quickly tire of hearing the album's theme constantly reiterated, but the tune of 'Paparazzi' takes up residence in your brain and refuses to budge."[12] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic, called the song clever and said that it "functions simultaneously as glorious pop trash and a wicked parody of it."[13] Ben Norman of About.com said that the song was one of his favorite three of the album and that it was amazing.[14] Priya Elan of The Times thought that "even the trio of songs that provides the core of the album's celebrity theme ('Paparazzi', 'Beautiful Dirty Rich' and the title track) don't ruminate on the addictive inanity of fame, choosing instead to observe passively."[15] Bill Lamb from About.com felt that the song was Gaga's top artistic achievement. He went on to list the symbiotic star and paparazzi relationship, the emotion behind the words and music, and the insistent vocals by Gaga as the pros of the song.[6]

Evan Sawdey of PopMatters said that both "Paparazzi" and the earlier single "Poker Face" are comparable with the musical styles of first single "Just Dance" but added that "never once does it feel like Gaga is deliberately repeating herself; instead, her faults only come from covering territory that she’s obviously not prepared for."[7] Freedom du Lac of The Washington Post said that even though Gaga turns somewhat serious while disapprovingly singing "Paparazzi", the song comes across as flat and faceless as well as vapid.[16] Erika Howard of the New Times Broward-Palm Beach called it the most telling track from the album.[17] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times said that "'Paparazzi' is a love letter from camera to subject but stops short of admitting that the affection runs both ways. Any notion that Lady Gaga is sketching an elaborate stunt is stopped cold at the lyric sheet, a perverse flaunting of simplicity that betrays no cynicism whatsoever."[18] Pitchfork Media ranked 'Paparazzi' number 83 on their list of 2009's 100 best tracks.[19]

It reached a peak of six, becoming her fourth consecutive top-ten song on the chart.[20] With the song, Gaga joined Christina Aguilera, Beyoncé, and Fergie as the only women this decade to collect four Hot 100 top-tens from a debut album.[21] It also reached the top of Billboard's Pop Songs chart, thus making Gaga the first artist in the seventeen year history of Pop Songs chart to have her first four singles from a debut album reach the top of the chart.[22] The song also topped the Hot Dance Club Songs chart.[23] It has sold 2.776 million paid digital downloads in United States according to Nielsen Soundscan.[24] "Paparazzi" debuted on the Canadian Hot 100 at number ninety-two[25] and moved up to fifty seven the following week becoming the weeks greatest digital gainer.[26] The song has reached a peak of three on the chart.[27]

Music video

Development

The music video was directed by Swedish director, Jonas Åkerlund, who has previously directed music videos for artists like The Smashing Pumpkins, Madonna, Moby, Rammstein, and U2. His wife Bea Åkerlund was hired as Gaga's stylist for the video.[42] Gaga told MTV that she had finished shooting "[..] my video for 'Paparazzi,' which I really am very pleased with the way that turned out. It's like a short film."[43] In an interview with The Canadian Press on May 26, 2009, Gaga cited her video as "the most amazing creative work that [she's] put together so far."[44] She went on to describe the idea behind the video and the message it gives as,

"It has a real, genuine, powerful message about fame-whoring and death and the demise of the celebrity, and what that does to young people. The video explores ideas about sort of hyperbolic situations that people will go to in order to be famous. Most specifically, pornography and murder. These are some of the major themes in the video.[44]

The video was supposed to premiere on June 4, 2009, in the United Kingdom and Ireland, on Channel 4. However, while touring in Australia, Gaga posted a message on her Twitter account on May 29, 2009 saying "Stop leaking my motherfucking videos", which referred to the video being released without the singer's consent.[45]

Synopsis

A woman wearing a metallic leotard and helmet is seen walking with a pair of crutches. Behind her, a number of dancers are visible, who are wearing tuxedos with white gloves, and making different gestures behind the woman.

The music video is an eight minute mini-movie starring Gaga and Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård as her boyfriend. It features a murderous plot line involving a doomed starlet who is constantly followed by photographers.[45] The video opens with a shot of a seaside mansion, where Gaga and her boyfriend are shown lying on a bed talking in Swedish. They move to the balcony and start making out; however, when hidden photographers start taking pictures of them, Gaga realizes that her boyfriend has set the paparazzi to photograph her and tries to stop him.[46] Her struggles nevertheless remain futile even when she punches him, and in a final frantic attempt at defense, she smashes a nearby glass of liquor (presumably chapagne) into his face. The enraged boyfriend throws her over the balcony. Gaga lies at the ground in her own blood as the photographers continue take pictures of her bloody body and tabloid headlines proclaim that her career is over.[45] According to Rolling Stone this scene pays homage to Alfred Hitchcock's film Vertigo.[47]

Gaga is shown getting out of a limousine, being carried by male dancers to a wheelchair. It is during this scene, that the song starts.[48] As the dancers gyrate around her, she starts walking down the carpet with the help of a pair of crutches while wearing a metallic bustier and a matching helmet. The metallic outfit is a reference to the film "Metropolis". These scenes are interspersed with scenes of dead models lying around the mansion. We later learn that the dead housekeeper is actually the very same one that brings Lady Gaga and her "boyfriend" their coffee/tea, implying Gaga killed her next (and maybe the other girls?).[45] Next Gaga is shown on a golden couch where she makes out with a trio of hair metal rockers during the line "Loving you is cherry pie". The trio, known as Snake of Eden, are from reality television dating program Daisy of Love.[48] According to MTV this scene is a reference to the song "Cherry Pie" by American glam band Warrant.[45] This sequence was dedicated to Gaga's initial days as a dancer at rock clubs.Right after that, the chorus starts again with Gaga wearing a white body suit and a black skirt on her right leg.[46] The video continues through the intermediate bridge with Gaga wearing a dress made up of film strips and a towering feathered Mohawk headdress.[45]

In the next scene, Gaga and her eye-patch wearing boyfriend are reading magazines on a sofa in a tea room. Gaga wears a yellow jumpsuit with circular glasses and shoulder pads.[46] The Guardian compared this look with that of Minnie Mouse.[49] She finally takes her revenge on her boyfriend by discreetly poisoning his drink with white powder concealed in her ring [like Lucrezia Borgia is rumored to have had.] As he falls dead she calls 9-1-1 and declares that she just killed her boyfriend.[45] The police come and arrest Gaga who, wearing a tall ice cream cone corkscrew wig, walks to the police car as the paparazzi surround her once again.[45] Images flash by, with newspapers proclaiming her innocence[46] and that Gaga is back in the spotlight and has regained her fame. The video ends with Gaga posing for mug shots like a fashion model while wearing a tulip shaped metallic dress similar to the single cover. The Daily Mail compared this dress with a similar outfit worn by singer Beyoncé Knowles on her I Am... Tour.[50]

Reception

Rolling Stone writer Daniel Kreps compared the video with the music video of "November Rain." The scenes of the dead models were described as stomach turning while he complimented the video for "brimming with cinematic style [so] that it’s hard to take your eyes off it, though it will likely be labeled as a little self-indulgent." He also commented on the leaking of the video saying that it "warranted more than just a simple leak; it deserved a red carpet."[47] Anna Pickard from The Guardian complimented the video saying that "quite a lot of work has gone into it". However, she opined that the video was too long.[49] The video was nominated for five VMAs at the 2009 awards in the categories of Best Direction, Best Editing, Best Special Effects, Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction. Along with four other nominations for "Poker Face", she and Beyoncé were tied for most nominations this year.[51] The video won the award for Best Art Direction and Best Special Effects.[52] The music video for Gaga's single "Telephone" is a continuation of the "Paparazzi" music video, and is a short film as well. The video picks up right where "Paparazzi" left off; starting with Gaga in prison.[53]

Gaga performed "Paparazzi" live on the UK program, The Album Chart Show on February 14, 2009 as promotion for The Fame.[54] The song was performed at Capital Radio 95.8 FM in an acoustic piano version on May 1, 2009.[55] On June 26, 2009, Gaga performed the song at the Glastonbury Festival emerging from a silver case on stage.[56] The song was a major part of Gaga’s performance in her first headlining Fame Ball tour as the opening number of the setlist. The show started with a video intro called "The Heart" where Gaga played an alternate persona called Candy Warhol.[57] She wore a silver and black short skirt like a tutu and shaped like peplum on both sides.[58][59][60][61] She was surrounded by her dancers holding plates which were encrusted with crystals and completely hid them.[8][62] The stage was surrounded by mechanical fog and heavy lighting was being emitted from the background.[61][59]

A blond woman wearing a shiny black dress and her hair extended with long braids, stands on a stage. The braids fall on her left arm and continue down. Behind her, a number of twinkling lights are visible and the woman makes a gesture with her right hand.

It was also performed at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.[63] The performance began with Gaga lying on the floor, on a set that was described as an ornate mansion. Gaga staggered across the stage and pirouetted behind a dancer in a lily-white wheelchair. She made her way to a white grand piano which she played by placing one foot up on the keyboard. Once again, she staggered across the stage, with theatrical blood dripping from her ribcage. She collapsed on the stage wailing in agony as one of the dancers gently lifted her. Gaga then hung liflessly with one hand rising above her dancers and blood smeared on her face with a golden halo being projected on the screen behind her.[63] She later commented that the performance was for her fans: "I wanted to say something honest and real and not just give a performance where I was jacking off on stage the whole time about my record," [...] It was really for my fans, who I knew would be at home cheering and swooning."[64]

The song was performed by Gaga in a similar choreography at the thirty-fifth season of American comedy show Saturday Night Live.[65] It was also present on the set list of Gaga's The Monster Ball Tour. She wore multiple donned braided extensions and was perched atop a railing. From each of her braids, a dancer was attached on the stage. A backdrop of stars were shown during the performance.[66] During the European dates of The Monster Ball, Gaga changed the concept and the performance of the song. She wore an emerald green leotard, and was attacked by a giant, mechanical Angler fish who attempted to devour her, but is killed after her leotard shoots sparks into the monster.[67]
