Perhaps this source could be worked into the article (Vulture):
"Take “Alejandro”; an Ace of Base-by-way-of-Cabaret belter that reduces queer men in the pit to tears. It’s a song about infidelity, engorged with innuendo. The line 'don’t want to kiss, don’t want to touch/Just smoke my cigarette and hush' is a reminder that Gaga was so daring in her forthright sex positivity that the public doubted she was female."

Would it be beneficial to separate the music video into its own article á la " We Found Love"? I only ask because information on the music video takes up a substantial amount of the article and there appears to be enough coverage on it for it to be considered notable on its own.

@ Sricsi is there an image of Monster Ball which shows Gaga in front of the Fountain? That might be a more suitable image seeing as the fountain was a crucial piece of prop she used. — IB [ Poke ] 17:38, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
I meant it’s the final one where she performed this song. It was honestly a little surprising given how much success this song had. That she will be releasing more music is all the more reason she will no longer perform this song as she will have more new material and will have to remove the old ones. But maybe you’re right; it probably does border on recent-ism. Who knows she might bring it back on her future tours even if she most likely has more new hits to perform.

@ IndianBio and Sricsi: after adding a commentary by Katrin Horn, checking/formatting the references and giving it a final read-through, I am thinking of giving it a try at FAC. This looks pretty decent IMO. What are your thoughts on this? Does it need any more work? FrB.TG ( talk) 13:50, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
