Styles of music videos - Lady Gaga and Adele

Adele's style

Adele is very much  a normal person, she is very relatable and down to earth. She's just a regular woman who grew up in Tottenham and happens to have an amazing voice. More often than not Adele is singing about a previous relationship gone wrong in her songs this allows her to be widely relatable as nearly everyone knows what it's like to have their heart broken. 

Her songs often have a message of still being strong after a break up which attracts an audience of young girls and women as this can be seen as inspirational for those who are currently dealing with the saddness of a breakup, because of this her target audience is quite large ranging in ages from roughly 16-50. 

Her image isn's over sexualised and perfers to keerp her music videos simple - instead she lets her music do the talking.

Here are some of her music videos to show this:

"Someone Like You"




"Someone Like You" is a good example of Adele's style it focuses on her looking sad and it's in black and white to convey a more somber tone. It is a simple music video using only a few differnt shots.

Here are some other examples of Adele's music videos

"Chasing Pavements"



"Send My Love"






Lady Gaga's style 

Lady Gaga is known for being very wacky and abstract. She is an artist that strives towards being unique and being original, testing boundaries when it comes to her music and her music videos.  She is much more than just her songs unlike Adele she presents herself and her strange characteristics through her music videos and often uses imagery to add amplified meaninf to her songs. 

It appears as though she changes her personality to suit each album she often uses her music to speak up for people with differences and show that being unique isn't a bad thing- to her it's something to be celebrated. Her target audience is those from minority social groups and teenage girls. 

Here are some examples of her music:

"Poker Face"





This music video displays Lady Gaga as a very over the top character and fits with her style. She uses costume and makeup to show she is a little strange. 

Here are some other examples:

"Just Dance"



"Born This Way"
