 Absolutely Sublime!! July 17, 2010

Great song!!!
I love the lyrics, how you're so afraid to love that even if you can't resist to be with that person you still tell them no. And how Alejandro tries to fight through that since Lady Gaga's past lovers Fernando and Roberto who hurt her and made her terrified to ever have a physical and emotional relationship with someone.
The beat is amazing and Lady Gaga sounds sublime as well
Overall a great single and a dark breezy tune for summer!
Way superior than Katy Perry's vapid California Gurls,
Which was mindless pop music at it's best.
Lady Gaga rocked this song!
Amazing!
Lady GaGa on La Isla Bonita June 9, 2010

"Alejandro" is, in a sense, Lady GaGa's tribute song. While the videos and music for "Bad Romance","Telephone" and "Paparazzi" are original, "Alejandro" evokes Madonna's "La Isla Bonita" with its Latin flair. It's definitely destined to be the guilty pleasure summer song---"California Gurls" with Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg's obligatory rap be darned!
"Alejandro" has a definite rhythm to it, and it improves with listening. The song is about a woman smitten with her gay friend, and asks for his "cigarette touch." The music video has religious images in it, evoking "Like a Prayer", while the images of leather-clad men and Lady GaGa eating a rosary evoking The Complete Magick Lantern Cycle by Kenneth Anger. Just as "Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome" begins with a man eating jewels, so does Lady GaGa, dressed as a nun, eats a rosary. Lady GaGa has a virtual harem of scantily clad men (with Three Stooges bowl haircuts?)--but they're all interested in each other. GaGa loves Alejandro, he loves men, sort of a military meets Christianity meets Will & Grace: The Complete Series.
"Alejandro",like a shot of tequila or a good margarita, is musical guilty pleasure for the sweltering summer!

Hi, I thought 'Bad romance' was great, but 'Alejandro' is by far the best!!! I have seen.
New,fresh and uplifting.
The intro,lyrics from start to finish.....you name it, just superb.
This is the best song ever of Lady Gaga,but believe me; she will top this one, and another and another......
Keep doing what you been doing Lady Gaga, we love your music.
I'm amazed... June 8, 2010

While this song isn't the best top ten hit I've seen Lady Gaga do, it is still a fun listen. It's like listening to candy in an audio format, with how catchy the song's chorus is. It isn't going to replace "Paparazzi" as my favorite Gaga song, but this one is up there.
The lyrics are a little strange & I'm not entirely sure of the song's meaning, so if you are wondering if it is a very deep song then I'm really unable to answer it for you. What I can say is that the song seems to be something a little different for every listener- some believe it is about a girl singing for her bisexual lover while others think it might be a religious or self-affirming song.
