  1. Lady Gaga defines bad romance with fire and destruction. She makes love seem ugly and chaotic. I think of bad romance as something that you know will hurt you or be 'bad' for you in the end, but you still want to continue with it. The characteristics could be lying, or just putting on a show and not really meaning what you say or do with that person. Or using the person for something else. In Up, a good romance was showed through their relationship together. They get married and spend all their time together, until they grow old with each other. This shows love and trust and commitement.For me, to have a good romance the person has to be honest, but not too honest. Also, not obsessed with themselves or obsessed with me. A good romance is when the two people could have a future together and they don't plan on hurting each other.

  2. In Lady Gaga's bad romance, a characteristic defining a bad romance is chaotic. There is lots of movement and destruction in the video, yet she sings that she wants a bad romance. In Up's good romance, some characteristics that define it are settled in and loving of one another. They do not want to hurt each other and have a mutual respect and love for each other. A characteristic that defines a good type of romance for me is not wanting or aiming to hurt one another. A characteristic of a bad romance is the goal of hurting one another.

  3. Lady Gaga defines her bad romance with destruction and violence. Just by her attitude throughout the whole song, you can tell she has been hurt by that man to the point where she wants revenge. What characterizes a bad romance for me is a person who is a lier, a cheater, and most of all, has no respect for what his partner says or does. 'Up' is defined as a good romance because of their eternal, undying love for each other. They both cared immensly, helped, and continued to love each other through thick and thin, no matter what the causes. A good romance for me would be someone who is willing to help, is kind, is fun, and respects the other half's opinion on topics.

  4. Lady Gaga makes love seem ugly, bad, hateful and destructive - something she sees as what she doesn't want. In Up, the romance between them is cute, together, what a "Picture perfect" relationship would be. They loved each other, spent all their time together, they got married, grew old together, until Ellie finally died. For me, a romance is something you do together, you love each other and can see a future with them. That person doesn't expect you to change, they want you just the way you are. They don't hurt you, or play you, or cheat. Lady Gaga's romance is like war, at the end either one or both of you is hurt. This is exact what a romance SHOULDN'T be. Relationships have commitment, honesty, feelings, love, trust.

  5. Lady Gaga's definition of a bad romance is wanting someone, even though you don't have a good relationship. She says, "I want your revenge," which could mean that they aren't friends, but she wants to be in a relationship. I would define a bad romance as two people who don't appreciate each other, or two people in a forced or loveless relationship. The good romance in "UP" shows that they are loyal to each other, happy together, and always there to support one another, until they grow old, and Carl still loves Ellie even after she's dead. I think a good romance for me would be one with love, but not everything is taken so seriously. We could joke around and not have to be all "lovey-dovey" all the time.

  6. Lady Gaga defines her bad romance as fierce and rough. That is toatally different from what UP decsribes it as because UP desibes it as if it were a story and it has the perfect ending to it. Lady Gaga almost forces emotion into that song because you want to hate her but love her at the same time. Up is a story where they knew eachother from when they were little kids and they soon grew old together. Bad romance is the total oppisite, the romance in UP is people staying strong with eachother, and never giving up hope with eachother. Lady Gaga's bad romance is almost forced with passion becuase she loves you and hates you at the same time.

  7. Lady Gaga defines bad romance through her music video. In it there was destruction and fire. Also, you could tell she didn't really want love because she felt it, she just wanted it for her advantage. Bad romance is basically ugly love. It's love that doesn't even count or shouldn't be real. It shouldn't even be considered love because there is no love in bad romance. In up it showed a good romance. The two main characters were always there for one another and they really looked like they enjoyed eachothers presence. You could tell that they were in love. A good romance would be if the person is always there for you, and they show that they care. I think that they also do anything to make sure that your happy and that's what the characters in up did.

  8. Lady Gaga defines love as crazy and 'messed-up' in the song 'Bad Romance'. She shows this through her insnae coustumes and the use of fire and destruction. In my eyes, I bad romance would be were something is causing two people to not be able to be in love. A bad romance could also be something that is hurting you yet you still want it to continue. In Up a loving and kind romance was shown. It showed how since the man and the woman were young, they were together. It shows that through time they still loved each other. A good romance in my eyes would be a trusting, caring, lasting relationship that surrvies everything; romance in which love overpowers all, including the bad and the ugly.

  9. Lady Gaga's romance is love gone completely wrong. All the goth and fire is representing her relationship with her boyfriend. Some people just go well together. Their are some key factors if deciding ur relationship is good. Just buying gifts isn't necessarily loving someone. Everyone in the relationship has to be active. The relationship in Up was good because both of the characters equally loved and were honest with eachother. A good wife or husband doesn't cheat on you. Every relationship is based off of trust. If you just want to marry someone by their looks or their money, that's wrong to the person. Love is a very complex two way road that everyone eventually should grasp. A good girlfriend is one that listens to you and cares about you and you feel the same way for the other. A bad romance could occur if you are overly obsessed with your girlfriend and she doesn't share the feelings you have. All she wants is your boatloads of money.

  10. Some characteristics that define Lady Gaga's bad romance is the destruction and hatred that was present during the song. The description of a good romance that was featured in Up was completed different. Ellie and Carl obviously loved each other, they were having a good time with one another, and the compassion and understanding of the pair was also clearly evident. Characteristics of a bad romance for me would be one where I didn't really feel any good feelings towards the other person, or if it's not heading in a good direction. A good romance is the opposite of that in where I do have feelings for the other person, and almost everything seems to be going in the right direction. Joshua Tyler

  11. In Bad Romance, Lady Gaga defines a bad romance with chaotic things, like the fire in the video. For me, a bad romance may involve deception and later it will become chaos, just as Gaga showed. In Up, it is visibly clear that they have a good romance, they did stuff together like dancing, reading, cleaned up the house, there was signs of joy. And they spent all their time with each other. A good romance should include honesty, joy and a general affection for each other. And they don't mind being with each other and doing things together.

  12. Lady Gaga's bad romance deals with a love that is forced upon someone by another. Her bad romance ends in fire and destruction and consists of pain and sort of being used. For me, a bad romance is pretty much that. It's wrong when people use other people, or the people don't have real feelings for each other. Those kinds of romances usually end up in disaster. On the other end of the spectrum, the good romance in up is all about being with the other person. The two characters in Up's love story both share a common dream, and love to spend time with each other. They are always happy when in each other's presence, and enjoy helping one another out. They were always there for each other, and together they were able to stay strong through the problems they face. For me, that is a pretty good explanation of a good romance. Two people who love to be together, and never let one another down. They help the other person deal with tragedy, and are always there for them.

  13. There are many characteristics that define Lady Gaga's 'bad romance" as a bad relationship. She makes the idea of love to feel crazy, stupid and almost abnormal. The way she dresses and moves defines the song and its lyrics. A bad romance, to me, is a relationship that will never be able to work out. Although, people might go along with continuing the relationship anyways, showing how its useless or "bad". in the video of the movie "Up", however, there are many things featured in it defining a good romance. From what I got out of it, a good romance is one where both people put time and effort into making it work. For example, both people are shown spending quality time with each other. They like each other's company and stay together throughout the years.

  14. Bad romance is defined by Lady Gaga to be full of chaos, and destruction, demonstrated through the fire, as well the chaos being demonstrated by the randomness of the music video. A bad romance can be described as such, full chaos and destruction, and lacking meaning to it, ultimately ending the way Lady Gaga ended her song, with one of them dead, or in a real life scenario, one of them wanting the other one dead, or gone. Up demonstrated what a good romance was supposed to be through the way the compassion was delivered, so powerful that words were not even required to depict it, with the way they dedicated their whole lives to each other and their happiness. This demonstration of love can be seen as the ideal form of a good romance, where one another is put before oneself, with complete drive to make the other happy.

  15. Lady Gaga's Bad Romance song talks about love being a negative thing. She compares love to fire and destroying things. I think Lady Gaga is trying to say that she wishes love was positive, and that she wishes love could be like the fairytales with the happy endings. I think Lady Gaga is trying to give you a rude awakening that love isn't always going to be a positive thing. There could be lies, cheating, abuse, no emotion, stealing,etc. I think she might've had her heart broken and just showed all the anger that she had bottled up inside of her. On the other hand, there is the love from the movie "Up." This showed a love for each other like no other. They loved each other unconditionally and were truly made for each other. Their love was like the fairytale love. They knew each other from their childhood and they loved each other ever since. They made each other so happy and completed one another. They grew old together and were still always there for each other. I think this is showing that you can trust others, and that you can fall in love and live a wonderful life together. This also shows true committment for one another. These stories show two very different and very extreme sides of love. You just have to pick the one that better fits who you are and what you want in life.

  16. Lady Gaga defines a bad romance with fire and crazy actions. She makes it seem like love is just a big mess and a very chaotic situation. I think a bad romance is when something is causing two people to not be able to love each other and instead they have a distant and unsuccessful relationship. It could also be that something bad is constantly occurring, but no one wants to end the relationship. In Up a good romance is portrayed. The couple is always talking, always bonding, doing cute little things together, and it is clear to see that one can't live without the other. In my opinion, good romances include connections between the two people and hanging out together. Also just being with each other and being able to talk to each other about anything and everything are good relationships. People involved in a good romance know that and because of that neither wants to leave.

  17. Lady Gaga defines bad romance with anger and fire. Throughout the whole video, she looks angry and her movements and dance moves show her emotions as well. I think the characteristics of a bad romance are lying, controlling, and being negative towards one another. In Up, just the exact opposite happens. Their relationship shows a good romance because they are always doing things together with smiles on their faces. She is his childhood crush and they end up getting married and spend all of their time together; even when they're old. The characteristics of a good romance are always being happy, enjoying each other's presence and doing everything together.

  18. Characteristics that would make a good romance would be from the movie "up".In the movie the two people got married, and throughout there time together they where always having a great time, and hapiness was all around them. In Lady Gaga's song there was fire, destruction, and just overall madness towards the end. Throughout the music video, there was always pain involved, and in a good romance pain should never be involved. My opinion of a good romance would be just like Up. There was always hapiness, and laughter, and it would bring unforgettable times.There would be no fights, and nobody would ever want to hurt eachother.

  19. Lady Gaga’s bad romance is one that consists of forced emotions of desire and lust, and is shown almost as if it is an auction to see who can buy the most romance. The dizzying, chaotic lifestyle depicted by Lady Gaga and the other performers represents the drive to please an apathetic or disconnected significant other in a “Bad Romance.” For me, a bad romance would be one in which one or more of the people involved in the relationship were dishonest, manipulative, or controlling of the other to a point where either one of them becomes a subordinate. In order for a relationship to work, both parties involved need to be fully committed to satisfying the needs of the other, treat each other as equals, not having one person as a leader and the other just be a lackey who is at the whim of the alpha. But most importantly of all, in order for a relationship to work, both people need to share a special bond. They need to be the best of friends, always caring for one another and looking out for each other. If there is no friendship between them, then there is truly no chance for the relationship to thrive like Carl and Ellie’s did in “Up.” The respect, love, and friendship shared by the two of them in the movie depicted exactly what is necessary for a good relationship. They cared for one another as friends do, and shared a special bond that remained unbroken by any forces in their lives working against it.

  20. Lady Gaga defines "Bad Romance"' as a toxic relationship that's unhealthy. Nevertheless, the two people can't stay away from each other. I believe several characteristics make up a "Bad Romance." One factor is a lack of trust. If someone in the other relationship breaks the trust of their partner the relationship can never be the same. Also, if one person in a relationship is more attached then the other it is also a bad romance. This is because that one person relies on the other to much. This will annoy the person less attached creating conflict. To me a good romance was depicted in the movie Up. Both characters were loving and supportive to each other. To me a good romance is one where their is love and support. I believe it is unnecessary for two people to be obsessed with each other. I would prefer to be independent and see myself as my own person then a part of someone else. Additionally, a good relationship also includes trust. Trust is very impotent. Without trust there is to many issues for a relationship to be worth it.

  21. Lady Gaga defines a “Bad Romance” as an unhealthy relationship. Even though it’s unhealthy, the two people that are involved feel a need to be together. There are a few characteristics that make up a bad romance. One is if one of the people is more invested in the other. This could make a very bad romance. If one of the people cares more about the relationship than the other, it will never work. The one who is more invested will can love them a lot and want to do anything for them, but the other will still feel the same. One of the most important characteristics is trust. If you can’t trust the other person, then why should you even have a relationship? You will never be fully comfortable with them again. Even if you think you can forget about it, you really can’t. There was a depiction of a good romance in “Up”. First, they showed how Carl had kept his promise to his wife. It had been years and they had grown old, but he still kept it and went to paradise falls. Next, it showed how they both equally cared about each other. Carl cared because he stayed in the same house and fulfilled his promise, and his wife cared because of what she wrote in the book. She knew he would eventually find it, and made sure she let him know how much she loved him. This is my idea of a good romance because they both trust each other and make sure the other knows how much they care about them.

  22. Lady Gaga defines a bad romance as evil and abusive. She portrays this love as if it is controlled by men and she is only there to entertain them. A bad romance in my persective would be chaotic. As if even though you have been hurt during the romance you still want to continue on with it. Up shows what a real romance should be like. A depiction of a good romance in my mind would be one where each person is happy and enjoy being together. Some characteristics that would make a good romance for me would be one where the two people would be able to be confortable around each other and accept each other.

  23. Some characteristics that I would use to describe a bad romance are dark, scary, and most of all death. In the video all of the clothes that the dancers wore were dark and very creepy looking. Also in the video there were a lot of scary things, for example the clothing. Lady Gaga was wearing a long robe that at the end of it had a dead polar bear which terrified me deeply. The video also had a lot of death to it. For example Lady Gaga, at the end of the video, was pictured next to a dead body that had already decayed. These are the characteristics that I would use to describe a "Bad Romance". As well as the "Bad Romance" video we also watched a video clip from the movie “Up” that showed a "Good Romance". Some characteristics that describe a Good Romance to me are happiness and joy. In the clip the two are very happy with each other and always enjoy each other’s presents. The clip also shows joy because the two characters are very joyful when they went through life with each other.

    Lady Gaga defines bad romance as force, being used for pleasure, and being forced to do things that you don't want.
    A bad romance to me is were a person is forcing the other person in the love relationship to do what they don't want, hurt them physically, mentally, and verbally in any shape or form. Up shows a good romance because Ellie and Carl work at their relationship not like a job but a thing that they love to do in a way. They also show that it's not about money since they work at a zoo, what house they have or even what the other person looks like. Ellie and Carl just love each other for the character or beautiful personalities that they both have and each other. A good romance is in my opinion were being gay, stratight, by, or even lesbian work at their relationship not like a job but a fun ride in life. I also think that a good romance is were people have trust,respect, and understanding just as much as Ellie and Carl have together.

  25. Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" is crazy and strange because at the end of the music video there is a skeleton next to her. I think the characteristics of a bad romance would be selfishness, greediness, and when one person is always taking orders from the other. Up depicts a good romance because the two main characters are happy to be with each other, they appreciate each other's company, and they really care about each other. I think the characteristics of a good romance are loyalty, happiness, and care.

  26. Lady Gaga shows a bad romance in which she is showing love as a negative thing and symbolizing that with fire and destruction. A bad romance for someone my age would involve someone taking comands from the other person or qualities such as selfishness and greed. In Up, they are showing a good romance in which the two characters look forward to spending the rest of their lives together in happiness. A good romance for someone my age would have caring and loyal qualities.

  27. Lady Gaga's Bad Romance shows represents love as a very bad and evil thing. In the music video, there is a very dark feeling which is felt throughout the duration of the music video. She also describes a bad romance as a love forced upon you from apathetic feelings. For me, a bad romance would a relationship in which one does anything they want no matter how it makes the other person feel. It would also be to continually abuse your partner mentally or phsically. The movie Up portrays a good romacne perfectly with Carl and Elly. They care for each other as friends, but at the same time have care for each other as more than friends. They both take care of each other with love and support. For me a good relationship is this and much more. A good relationship also needs honesty and mutual feelings. It also requires an effort, because a good relationship will be nonexistent if there is no effort put in by the couple.

    Lady Gaga's Bad Romance is shown through the male character that she kills in the end. A bad romance for someone like me wouldnt be to the extreme lady gaga had, but it would be more about dating violence which is common nowadays. A good romance for someone like me would be the two people getting along and trusting eachother. A relationaship is built off trust.

    Lady GaGa's bad romance is portraying the love as a bad thing. It is not healthy nor right; the person is not the right person or is a bad person. A bad romance for me would be someone who would not treat me how I should be treated. In Up, the romance is very good. They both love each other very much, and they show it. They also treat each other like they are the most important thing in the whole wide world. A good romance for me would be like this. If two people love each other very much and are good to each other than it is healthy and good for them. The romance in Up is so sweet, and that kind of love is the kind that would be perfect.

  30. A bad romance that Lady Gaga is referring to would be a romance that is considered bad or evil, but she keeps on going back to the romance. For me, a bad romance would be when one person is controlling the other, when someone isn't happy, or its too perfect. It normal to have arguments and fights, but true love would get back together. If its too perfect, its a fake relationship. The move Up portrays a good relationship because they are both happy through out the story. They are trusting of each others, and they both want the same thing; to get far away from where they are. When the lady dies, you can tell it takes a toll on the man. He is looking back on the relationship. If one person dies in a true relationship, a reaction similar to the old man's reaction would be seen. You can't have a relationship without happiness.

  31. From the music video, I can tell Lady Gaga's 'Bad Romance' is defined by the characteristics of anger and sorrow. This is shown through the fact of how she burns the man in the end and how her dancing is full of energy that exemplifies anger through the costumes and dark facial expressions. The sorrow of the bad romance comes from when it shows a close up of Lady Gaga singing through tears. For me a bad romance would be a situation where two people are very distant from each other or where two people try to take advantage of each other that could lead to unrest and maybe even violence. On the other hand, Up gives the depiction of a happy romance where the two people care about each other through all different circumstances of life. Personally, I would enjoy the type of situation Up posses as a good romance. This would leave me with someone who knows and actually want the best for me as two people in a good romance should have.

  33. In the music video for 'Bad Romance' you can see the qualities of an unhelthy relationship by how she is always forced to drink in order for her to do whatever they want her to do. With this, you can tell that Lady Gaga doesn't even want to be in the relationship, because she is crying and exhausted as she is singing. In contrast, a very healthy romance is seen through the montage in up. It is shown because throughout every single circumstance the two are still eachother's best friends. It also exemplifies how long that their love could last, since the two had wanted to be together forever, and that's exactly what happened

  34. The characteristics that define Lady GaGa’s Bad Romance are lust and an unhealthy relationship. Throughout the whole music video she is shown looking angry and her dance movements also show her emotions. There is madness throughout the whole video. In Up, it is the complete opposite. Their healthy relationship is shown throughout their whole life. They met at a young age and their love is innocent and real. You can see the happiness on their faces when they are together. She is his crush from a child and they ended up married growing old together. The characteristics of a good romance are always being happy, enjoying spending time with each other, and facing hard times together.

  35. In Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" is about jealousy and anger. A bad romance for someone like me would be a realtionship filled with anger, jealousy, and sadness. In the movie "Up" the romance is a good romance. They are in love and always happy together no matter what. A good romacne for me would be similar and be filled with happiness and joy.

    Sorry about this being late I was sick on Monday.

    Lady Gaga defines a bad romance as more desire, ugliness, and violence. Throughout the the video she is showing that in her romance men want her, however this is not a quality of a good romance. Also she shows ugliness in bad romance by drinking in the video. However in the Up video it shows traits in a healthy relationship love, beauty, and passion for one another. In the Up video it shows the two spending time with each other and caring for one another. Also it shows the two examplifying true love toward each other. In conclusion these are my thoughts about the two videos.

  37. The characteristic that define Lady Gaga's Bad Romance are sad and hurt. If
    I were to name characteristics that make a bad romance for someone like me I would say arguing and lying. In Up it is shown that a good romance is people that are always happy together, have common interests, and are together threw ever thing. The characteristics of a good romance for me would be trust and always having fun.

  38. Lagy Gaga's Bad Romance shows love as a bad thing. This video shows love as something that is to be avoided. In the end, she burns the guy up to show that she is angry and sorry that she even met him. In Up, the montage shows love as a good thing. They love eachother and they are eachother's best friend. This shows love as a good thing and that if you find the right person, you will have a happy life.

  39. Lady Gaga shows that love is a bad thing in her song "Bad Romance". She makes it seem like it is not good for anybody and it is hurtful. The song seems to describe two people fighting, arguing and lying, which is not good in a relationship. The three characteristics of a bad romance would be arguing, lying and fighting as well. These three actions all show disrespect and hatred, which is not supposed to be part of a relationship. For a good romance, the characteristics I would choose are trust and happiness. These two characteristics either show love or a friendship because it shows that you care about the person.
    Sorry for the late response, I was sick when this was assigned.

  40. Characteristics that Lady Gagas song describes about love are angry and sad. Charactersistics that would make love bad for me are sadness and lack of trust. In Up the good romance characteristics were devotion and trust. These characteristics would also make a good romance for me.

  41. Lady Gaga’s ‘Bad Romance’ is defined by characteristics of an unhealthy relationship. This unhealthy relationship that she is describing seems to be about how their ‘love’ is really them trying to get revenge on each other for things they have done. They get into a vicious cycle with their relationship. Their relationship also seems to have one person wishing for it more than the other. One person is more invested than the other. But although this is what happens in their relationship, they both want to keep it together.
    Several things would make a bad romance for me. The biggest thing that would make a make a bad romance for me would be if he didn’t treat me right or equally. I would also expect that he treated those important to me with respect. For me a bad romance would also include one of us working harder for it than the other. I would want both of us to be equally committed to each other. A bad romance by my standards would also involve a lack of trust and communication between us. Lastly a bad romance would be if one of us fell out of the ‘love’ or if we didn’t get along.
    In Up the characters are in a good romance. One can tell this because they have lasted through their marriage for many years and grown old together. This shows that they have been in a committed relationship for a long time. Carl and his wife are obviously in love with each other and you can tell just by the way that they act around each other. Carl also kept his promise to his wife after many years which shows how much he cared about her and valued his promises to her. These are all signs of a good romance.
    To me a good romance would have to have many certain aspects. One aspect would be both people feeling the same way and equally feeling that way. Having one person feel more strongly about the other wouldn’t be a good romance. Their would also have to be a great level of trust, communication and commitment in the relationship. I would also expect that I would be treated right and everyone close to me would too. Lastly a good romance to me would require a person who was the right type of person for me. They would have to be able to mesh with my personality, care about me, and mostly keep me entertained.

  42. The characteristics that define Lady Gaga's 'bad romance' are how her unhealthy relationship about getting revenge on her partner for the things that have happened in the past. In my opinion something that would make a bad romance would be someone who is controlling, does not respect me and the loved ones around me, lies to me, and is no committed to us being together. If he does not care for me as much as I would care about him then it would be considered a bad romance. A good romance is portrayed in the movie Up by the way that both the man and woman (Carl and Ellie) how much love and passion they shared as they were married up until Ellie died. Her dream being to travel to South America and live on Paradise Falls. Carl respects her dream and travels to move their house where she intended on moving before she passed away. The characteristics to make a good romance for me would be someone who feels equal with me, feels that they can open up to me and talk to me about everything, someone who believes in me and respects my goals in life as well as helps me achieve them, and someone who can joke around with me and always make me laugh and makes me happy.

The song has the roles of two people who t are always hurting eachother and fighting.Three characteristics of a bad romance would be abuse, arguing and swearing. For a good romance in Up, the characteristics pasiion and happiness. Carl and Ellie are completely head over heals in love with eachother and talk to each other with respect. Good characteristics for a relationship with kids my age are to be able to take time away from each other so that whay not one person is controlling the other.

  44. Bad Romance? Good Romance?

    The characteristics that define Lady Gaga’s bad romance is creepy, disturbing, ugly. She sings about loving someone and wanting their love back, but at the same time she knows it’s a bad idea, a horrible kind of romance to be in. For me personally a bad romance would be I the relationship is abusive, there’s no trust, no loyalty, no honesty; things that are essentially needed in a relationship. In the movie Up, they two lovers have a great relationship because even when the going gets tough, they’re always there for each other, always by each other’s side through thick and thin. For someone like me a good romance would be drama free, and even if we hit some sticky spots, my better half and I would be able to work it out together as a team. A good romance would have loyalty, honesty, compassion, and most importantly trust. Trust they we can both make our own decisions and not have a single worry about it.
