A music video for the song was filmed in late May , co-directed by the singer and her production team , Haus of Gaga . The video is simple in contrast to much of Gaga 's previous work , and portrays her dancing on a fire-escape and walking on a lonely street . Differences include the lack of intricate choreography and back-up dancers , as well as using only one outfit designed by Versace . Critics lauded the simplicity of the video , while comparing it to the works of Michael Jackson , Janet Jackson and Madonna . Live performances of the song include the tenth season of '' American Idol '' , the 2011 MuchMusic Video Awards , '' Good Morning America '' 's " Summer Concert Series " , and many of the singer 's concert tours
