Gaga Goes Simplistic For "Born This Way" Video

We've come to expect the most outrageous, absurd, over-the-top things from pop megastar Lady Gaga, but this era, she's taking things down a notch.

After a subdued, but still awesome Grammy performance of her single "Born This Way", which in itself doesn't quite match the braggadocio of "Bad Romance", Gaga has released the highly-anticipated music video for her #1 smash. Anyone expecting exploding meat dresses or anything of the sort might be surprised: "Born This Way" is the most anti-elaborate video she's ever released.

The video, as Gaga put it, supposed to show the birth of a new human race. While there are some scenes of Gaga, who dresses up like some alien queen with a huge beehive, birthing something, most of the video features her hatchlings dancing in a completely black space, with Gaga dancing around in her face horns and black underwear. After the insanity of "Telephone" and the "creepiness" of Alejandro, this video is, and I'm surprised to be saying this, quite subdued.

One note: I really liked the little nod to Michael Jackson at the end.

Check the video below and let me know what you think.
