Lady GaGa has released a promotional video for her prematurely released single 'Applause'. In true Gaga style the video shows the 27-year-old pop sensation sitting naked in a room, wearing a transparent visor. Although she says nothing, she employs reverse psychology by telling her fans not to buy her 'Applause' single or her upcoming Artpop album.

The video, entitled Lady Gaga is Over - A Film by the Haus of Gaga features subtitles which tell the viewer not to purchase her song or albums.  The subtitled video states, whilst Lady Gaga's face is illuminated in a flickering light, that "Lady Gaga is no longer relevant." It continues by saying that she has not been relevant since 'Born this Way' and she is a "flop" and "over." It capitalises "do not" and instructs the viewer not to buy her songs. Furthermore the video tells fans that they should give her no "A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E."

However it does initially warn viewers 'if you don't like pop music you should turn this off." This, contrary to what Lady Gaga may appear to be saying, does still show that she retains her title as the Queen of Pop. In many ways, it implies, her music is the essence of pop and her name synonymous with the genre.
