There was a lot of discussion about this with xtricks and I think it depends on what your sensitivities are and what things are big hallmarks of "fiction" for you.
"Bad Romance" doesn't particularly bug me, because, I think it feels like a very alien world to me. And where it doesn't -- sexual commerce, Leigh Bowery, etc -- *shrug*
On the other hand "Alejandro" is very challenging for me, because I'm very sensitive about the iconography I'm not supposed to find interesting as a nominally Jewish female-type -- the Catholic and fascist imagery in the piece are what make it intellectually interesting to me, but they are also what cause me to retreat into my recurring fear that my intelligence is a moral failing.
