After a brief tease the other day, Lady Gaga has released the full video for her newest hit, "Alejandro," and it's as epic and brazenly self-indulgent as you think.

At this point, did you expect anything less from Lady Gaga?

Filmed by acclaimed photographer Steven Klein, Gaga calls the nine-minute video pure "celebration of [her] love and appreciation for the gay community."

That might explain the shirtless men with bowl cuts dancing in high heels, plus Gaga stripping for them in a giant orgy, plus the obligatory Catholic imagery.

It's as if she wants it to be controversial or something.

She's set the bar high (musically, and with Lady Gaga hermaphrodite rumors), so she's got a lot to live up to. Does "Alejeandro" do it? Watch and vote ...
