Kendrick Lamar - Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe (Original Version) Feat. Lady Gaga.

We get the original version of the song that didn't make the album with Lady Gaga singing the hook for this home video from Gaga.

Zedd - Stache (Feat. Lady Gaga).

It's been a House theme of lately, and here's another dance floor ready track with the producer Zedd enlisting Gaga

Lady Gaga - Marry The Night.

Gaga makes her directorial debut on this mini movie supposed to be just a music video. The "semi-autobiographical" video takes 8 minutes before the song begins, and ends in a "Dirty Dancing-esque" dance scene, meanwhile in the middle she manages to pour cheerios on herself while butt naked. Gaga is a wierd one, but still a very entertaining one. 

Lady Gaga - Marry The Night (The Weeknd & Illangelo Remix).

Have I heard something musically so far, that The Weeknd has been involved in, that I haven't loved? NOT NEVEAH!
