she got "hit" by her car, possibly meaning her debut was a literal hit and she couldn't handle the fame at first and it was painful, but she learned to face it and endure, persevered to where she is now
So real on the fact that we don’t check up on her. As monsters, we love Gaga and her work but you’re right - we need to support her better. Respectful stans. The breakdown of theories in this video is impeccable. Had me thinking about the suburban layout and then the switch to the dark room with miss thing in the background … does that symbolise inside her mind? In broad daylight she’s confronting herself because she has to? But inside her head, she does nothing about it … because she can’t? The “disease” spits her back out, she embraces it in broad daylight … because she HAS to. Bitch the theoriessssss
I saw a theory the 2 Gagas locked away at 8:29 are twins representing The Fame and The Fame Monster. They are locked away because Gaga has moved on but they are still alive and kicking due to their popularity
Hmm and born this way was the character on the car hood, a time when she had a major physical injury, and did too much causing her crash mentally and physically
I have a theory about the chained Gaga stepping on the other Gaga. I find it interesting that the chained Gaga has no freedom but still has power over the Gaga that has no chains. To me this chained Gaga is her as a solidified pop star being restricted by the media, the music industry etc. This restricted pop-star Gaga has control and power over her self that hasn’t been solidified as a popstar yet and has more creative and personal freedom. This duality reminds me of the fame (new to artistry, expressive freedom) and the fame monster (solidified as a popstar, restricted from who she is personally) all while performing for this entity that promises performance and fame to cure her disease, her inner void.
Wow Zach!!!! You broke it down in a way I sincerely hadn't thought of before. Also No one else also noticed or mentioned that The DarkGa version of her was standing there watching in the shadows. Thats crazy! Ugh! No one else creates like her. Psshhh. I love watching your feed back friend. Really. Keep up the great work. Much Love.
That hat character is The Fame Monster - she’s legit in almost every Gaga video. Every time she wears a hat it’s a dark vibe - like the ending shot of Marry The Night
I remember her interview on Oprah when she says how at 19, when she was barely starting in the music industry, she was left alone pregnant on a street after the producer abused her. And no one believed or helped her, and then she had an abortion. I don’t know but the first scene of the video kinda resembles that story. Knowing Gaga, this could be true, but again like Zach said, her stuff is layered with meanings, and this could be a potential meaning just as a simple fragment of a more broad one. Anyway I truly admire how vulnerable she can be, and how she turns that in art every single time
Zach said “ bish I gotta post it , I gotta post. TAA pays my bills . So I gotta give the og UA-cam gurls a lil something “ and sis we still here from the wigs days from Detroit
It’s such a smart, beautiful video. And it also destroyed my expectations in a great way. You are right, I thought I wanted her out dancing right away, but we don’t need that yet. This is everything.
you already know the tour tickets will be a battle just from DWAS smashing,judas/bloody mary and locals still eating ASIB singles up. Not to mention the 110M monthly listeners which is crazy.
@@migoym6079 I don't think she will ever do BTW type of tour again, 200+ dates is not an option but I hope she can do 50-60 dates with breaks in between to care for her body. She did say Chromatica ball while short made her happy to tour again.
The only one react I was waiting for. ZACH, I follow u since back 2020, and always that Gaga release something I came here 2 c u. Kisses and hugs from Brazil.
in my opinion these are all the albums that are based on how much darkness gaga had....fame and chromatica are not there because they are not dark or light albums....they are straight up dance albums i.e fun albums.....the first one is joanne, the second one fighting is ARTPOP and they are fighting in the SUNLIGHT.....there are three gagas in the DARK basement....FAME MONSTER is in complete darkness in the mcqueen dress looking gorgeous and still bcoz its her most acclaimed album....the two gagas fighting are the BORN THIS WAY gaga together bcoz they are twins(same hair and dress)....one on the floor is the external gaga bcoz she is writhing on the floor in pain and the one on top is the internal gaga with fibromyalgia (note the broken arms and parts painting on both gagas) and she is pressing down on the other gaga on the HIPS (bcoz of her severe hip issue during that era)....also note that she had pale white eye contacts bcoz life that grows in near complete darkness(deep ocean) also has the same eyes bcoz of the absence of light now if you notice that the dark monster following around is in complete black including her face bcoz she ONLY PREFERS DARKNESS and she is inside a car i.e avoiding light....but as the video progresses she wants to be more open to LIGHT i.e at first with the transparent scarf and then completely her face in the light but with a lot of struggle.......thats y when the monster shows her face completely, the shot is filled with sunlight.......then she vomits out LG7, THE NEW ALBUM (note that LG7 is half dark and half light based on the dressing, hair and makeup indicating she is the child of light and darkness) but LG7 is unstable (the walls closing in and out) and she keeps writhing but also dances and the last scene where gaga is looking into the camera you can see a lot of unstablity but then it stops and finally its stable indicating lady gaga has finally accepted BOTH THE DARKNESS AND LIGHT in herself....the monster leaves happily bcoz her job is done i could be wrong but this is just my theory
@@ZakhadWOW there is no way chromatica is the album she threw up....the primary hair color for chromatica is neon pink (even on the rain on me video) and nowhere is there a slick back grey hair in any one the videos from the album...its also neon pink hair on the album cover....plus the biggest clue is she vomited out the album in this video i.e she is giving birth to it in the video.....every other album is already there...she doesn't need to create chromatica in this video bcoz it already exists....she is vomiting out LG7
Damn, this video and your break down makes so much sense. I love it and the fact that you’re making me think. This is making me truly realize things that I do to myself and with people who surround me.
Honestly when I first saw the video on my own I already felt like so emotional because it was so good like she ATE DOWN....STAIRS TO THE HELL WHERE HER DEMON IS AT
Agreeee you can definitely chain yourself to your mind. Your brain can be your biggest enemy! Just remember that it’s a tool to your vessel and not the controller of your vessel; your soul is!!!!!! It being in the daytime means you can feel this way at any time of day, even in your own home.
i think the all black gaga was the fame monster and the mv basically represented her relationship with fame, like for example, when shes on the carhood i took that as fame / GAGA hitting stefani like a car
STOP sign on the ROAD absolutely said it all She is SCREAM for HELP but no one STOP to help to help her they just passing by... And IGNORE HER... THIS VIDEO ABSOLUTELY SAD THO
*spoiler alert: unreleased music* *related to the snippet of the song in the music video* So you can very faintly hear the lyrics from the song that’s teased: “I can’t see straight, no, My hands are tied. I could be your type, Yeah, I’m your Zombie Bride. I can’t see straight, it’s living inside. I could be your type, Yeah, I’m your Zombie Bride.”
It is always a delight to see you react to Gaga, it’s how I originally discovered you around the ARTPOP era. It’s so fucking good, exhilarating. On the setting: the neighbourhood, the looks, and some of the stuff is reminiscent of Tim Burton’s Edward Scissor hands.
Art is very suggestive and I love seeing someone pull something from music videos and it has a message but it’s also in an artistic way. I love an artistic expression Billie Eilish and Gaga are very good at that in they music video
BEST REACTION EVER YASSSS WE ARE SO BACK BAAAABYYYY!! 😭🖤🐾👹 #LG7 #ladygaga #mothermonster 7:237:27 REALLLL 😭😂🖤 8:1910:08 i was already shocked and excited by hearing the next snippet of the song gurllll, ur so me fr 10:18 SAAAAMMMME HONEYYYY 10:3610:49 🤣🤣 11:0811:1111:2011:3311:40 YAAAASSSS!! 💅🏻
🖤 My Subjective Analysis of Lady Gaga's "Disease" Music Video 🖤 This video is a confrontation with herself, revealing the struggles she faces with fame, identity, and past wounds. The video opens with a symbolic clash as “Stefani” (Gaga’s real self) is hit by the persona of Lady Gaga-a darker version of herself that has carried the weight of every “disease” or trauma along her path. It’s a stark image of how she’s had to separate her true self from the persona demanded by fame. This collision represents a truth: Gaga projecting a public persona that is complex, sometimes dark, and layered. The video highlights the reality of fame’s fragmentation of identity and how such roles can create internal conflict. The darker version of Gaga in the video is portrayed as “Runaway Lover”-a haunting figure also seen in her "Yoü and I" video-symbolizing the toll of the music industry on her mental and emotional health, a form of “disease” brought on by fame. If you're a veteran Little Monster, you know this persona that I'm talking about. As the video unfolds, we see another side of Gaga from her ARTPOP era ("Dope"), who attempts to pull her away from this darkness, referencing a period when she was wrestling with her own identity. Yet, despite the struggle, it becomes clear that this darker part of her is inseparable; the conflict is futile because each of these parts is a layer of who she is. In a powerful sequence, Runaway Lover stands back, observing Gaga’s internal battle as if to underscore how she is both spectator and participant in her own struggles. She is bound and trampled, symbolizing the painful chapters of her life-PTSD, chronic pain from fibromyalgia, and the lasting effects of the rape. It’s a visual representation of the burdens she carries, which continue to haunt her. Despite these trials, Runaway Lover presses forward, embodying Gaga’s resilience and strength. The climax of the video shows Runaway Lover purging a dark liquid, birthing a new version of Gaga, a representation of her LG7 era. This rebirth highlights her ongoing evolution, even as she faces claustrophobic walls that grow tighter with every struggle. It’s as if the more she tries to escape her inner darkness, the more she feels confined. In the end, her release comes through singing and dancing-a reminder of her lead single: "just dance, it's gonna be okay." It’s a liberating, artistic moment that reflects the healing power of her music and performance. Ultimately, she circles back to herself, embracing every part-past, present, and future-because without these layers, she wouldn’t be the complete Gaga. Her darkness, pain, and resilience are intrinsic to her identity, forming a unique beauty and strength. ps. Love you, Zachary!🤍 Paws up, Glorius (a Little Monster from Jakarta, Indonesia)
After watching the music video a couple times and questioning too why it’s in broad daylight, it reminded me when she was teasing her back in the studio but with her wearing dark clothing/makeup with her outside in broad daylight. Kind of like she was teasing this concept for a while. As much as it’s beautiful outside, you don’t know how dark a persons life can be
Hey Zagish... You are fantastic-just like this Gagsterpiece! I think I get it-the average suburban context underscores how, at some point, we all become "diseased," even in the daylight of another mundane afternoon, leading to a normalized social malaise. And you're spot on: the multi-gagish dance scene feels like she's trapped in a perpetual struggle against her multifaceted self, elegantly shadowed by her dominating, darker side. It's a raw, rocky psycho-art piece that dives deep into our inner darkness and self-saboteur.
The second I noticed her new video came out. I immediately ran to your channel to watch this reaction.!!!!!! I was like I wonder what Zachary is going to think!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m mad atchu because AINT NO WAY you watched Gaga and DIDNT PUT ON A WIG so it can fly across the room because babyyyyyyy all wigs are on the floor behind miss Gaga hunniiiii’!
This made me go back to my middle school days when music videos and songs left me wanting more. She didn’t add dancing for a reason and I’m even more excited now
I've been watching your channel ever since you were still mrmortormouth. Seeing you react to her after all these years with excitement always warms my heart! Luv u zach and keep slaying!
“GAGAAAAAA!!!” - Zach Campbell 2020
WHY DID I HEAR IT IN HIS VOICE😂
Chuzuus, what are you doing here 👀😂
The rain on me reactionnnnn😂😂😂😂😂
Chuzuus,I have seen one of your comments under Kelela's Washed away music video😅,you are literally everywhere😂
5 seconds in and you got a whole thesis going
Well he just read the explanation from gaga before…
Does he ever stop talking
WE LOVE GAGGISHA
IS GAGGISHA FROM THE GHETTO?? 😭
@ PERHAPS PERHAPS 😆🫢
We love Gagisha hahaha ❤️❤️❤️
@@mikewazowxki Not the ghetto! 😂😂😂😂 She’s from Sesame Street!
Someone pointed out that the walls are not closing when she's dancing, that's clever!
Finally someone else clocking the Fame Monster!!!! Gaga can never run away from the Fame Monster...that monster got her on the "radio"
she got "hit" by her car, possibly meaning her debut was a literal hit and she couldn't handle the fame at first and it was painful, but she learned to face it and endure, persevered to where she is now
Gaga coming to show these pop girls how it's done
Gaga came and flopped 😍😍😍
@@bwildest Katy tease

@@angelvega3348 and the one that dragged her off the car hood looked like artpop gaga with the flannel and darker blonde hair
Where would Joanne show up? I assume the driver is Dark Chromatica
@@m.d.1395I think it’s the John Wayne ish neighborhood like Zach said & the pink nail polish 🤷🏾♂️
@@m.d.1395I thought Joanne was the one who dragged Gaga from the hood of the car in the beginning because of her outfit

Also in this scene she has her tattoos covered up and has like seams on her elbows and knees like she’s a doll
THE REACTION I WAS EXPECTING THE MOST 😭😭😭😭😭
I was waiting for him❤
Gaga never knew the word "Flop".
NEVER BELOVED
Except the song flopped 😂☠️
@@bwildest how is 89M on Spotify a flop?? lol
@@bwildest yet here u are watching this
@bwildest girl why you so obsessed? I've seen you in like 5 comments already💀

The gaga stepping on her own back for the entertainment of the dark lady suspiciously "Born this way" coded is so on the nose 💀
“Gaga Queen of Simbolism”😂love it

zach you ate this analysis upppp. the symbolism of it all chile
I really love the eyes you watch these videos through. A true fan and still noting the creativity of it all.
it's the way I only respect Zach's takes when it comes to Gaga because he's ALWAYS on point
I think Zach was on to something. I think this was an eras symbolism. The flannel Gaga was giving the Joanne Era fighting with her current Era. 🖤🖤🖤
Zach said “ bish I gotta post it , I gotta post. TAA pays my bills . So I gotta give the og UA-cam gurls a lil something “ and sis we still here from the wigs days from Detroit
It’s such a smart, beautiful video. And it also destroyed my expectations in a great way. You are right, I thought I wanted her out dancing right away, but we don’t need that yet. This is everything.
But yet it flopped.
Lady Gaga's gasp/coming back to life moment in the beginning of the video gives Debbie Jellinsky down. "Pastels?" 👁👄👁
“You gotta become one with the darkness” It’s giving Marry the Night 2.0 😮💨
2:35 Zach bringing back the old "SUBSCRRRRR" 😭😭😭 oh this feels nostalgic
She gave us everything WE. WANTED. We are so back!!!
I hope Gaga watches your reactions. I know how happy they make me, I can only imagine the way she feels watching these.
its crazy how we know gaga like no other fan base, we know her pov at this point and we love that ❤
I’m already saving for the tour 😭
me too, i just opened another savings account for the tour specifically
you already know the tour tickets will be a battle just from DWAS smashing,judas/bloody mary and locals still eating ASIB singles up. Not to mention the 110M monthly listeners which is crazy.
That tour boutta have me Speechless to experience a true GAGA Concert. Chromatica dosent count
Already saving up despite not having a good chance she'll come to my country. The last time she was here was back in 2012
@@migoym6079 I don't think she will ever do BTW type of tour again, 200+ dates is not an option but I hope she can do 50-60 dates with breaks in between to care for her body. She did say Chromatica ball while short made her happy to tour again.

She ate, got full, and left. ✌️
It’s giving Gaga Fighting Stephanie fighting the Actor Gaga.
*spoiler alert: unreleased music*
*related to the snippet of the song in the music video*
So you can very faintly hear the lyrics from the song that’s teased:
“I can’t see straight, no,
My hands are tied.
I could be your type,
Yeah, I’m your Zombie Bride.
I can’t see straight,
it’s living inside.
I could be your type,
Yeah, I’m your Zombie Bride.”
She doesn't say "zombie bride", it's just mass delusion from her fans who want her so desperately to release Frankensteined
"YOU GOTTA LOOK AT THE ISH LIKE DIS WITH STEPH!"
I HOLLAND!
The closing in walls reminded me of one of the Joanne world tour interludes IF YK YK ❤
It is always a delight to see you react to Gaga, it’s how I originally discovered you around the ARTPOP era. It’s so fucking good, exhilarating.
On the setting: the neighbourhood, the looks, and some of the stuff is reminiscent of Tim Burton’s Edward Scissor hands.
WHATEVER IS IN THE DARK, ALWAYS COMES TO LIGHT

You give me hope, we can truly get better with age 💕 more wise, even more younger looking 💕
You’re energy it’s sooo good ❤, I love your reactions 🫶🏾 love from🇸🇹

The suburbs and daylight could symbolize beauty in the darkness of things. It’s giving Imperfect perfection
TFM was about different fears, maybe this album is overcoming all the fears.
You know what I wouldn’t be surprised about, if she teamed up with Doja Cat cause she’s still in her confronting her demons era too.
