<\/div>\n<\/div>\u201cPoker Face\u201d (2008)<\/h2>\n\n\nAn early hit, this was the music video that helped establish Lady Gaga as an avant-garde artist, especially with its unique outfit choices: the bleach blonde bangs, the bow made out of her own hair, and that metallic disco mask. And emerging from a pool in a leotard between two regal Great Danes is one of the greatest music video entrances we’ve ever seen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\u201cBad Romance\u201d (2009) <\/h2>\n\n\nWith over 1.9 billion views to date, \u201cBad Romance\u201d is Gaga’s most viewed music video on YouTube, and it’s obvious why. It boasts an iconic dance sequence (which we all tried to mimic at least once) and an incredible wardrobe by Alexander McQueen, featuring those one-of-a-kind armadillo shoes that Gaga helped make famous. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n

It features an elaborate performance about love and revenge in a luxurious mansion, but her use of crutches and a wheelchair as props caused an outcry by the disabled community. Gaga later defended<\/a> the decision, saying it was a metaphor of what artists will do to \u201cfame-whore themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\u201cLoveGame\u201d (2009)<\/h2>\n\n\nGaga gives an underground tribute to New York City as she and her crew dance through subways and parking garages clad in denim, leather, and studs. The video is directed by Joseph Kahn<\/a>, who’s also worked with Taylor Swift and Britney Spears for her \u201cToxic\u201d video.

If you look closely, you’ll find some Madonna influences, which some read as a complete rip-off<\/a>, especially with the machine gun bra meant to resemble Madge’s cone bustier. Despite its controversial imagery, director Stephen Klein said<\/a> the video is about \u201ca woman’s desire to resurrect a dead love, and who cannot face the brutality of her present situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\u201cTelephone\u201d (2010) <\/h2>\n\n\nWhat happens when you put two queens together on a hit song?

She appears alone with legendary saxophonist Clarence Clemons from the E Street Band, and dances solo as he plays on a stoop. Unfortunately, Clemons passed away shortly after the video was released. But when he was still suffering from his stroke a few days prior, Gaga gathered her fans to pay a tribute to the musician through tweets and videos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n
