This summary seems to make sense enough

"First of all Jo represents herself. The other man represents both Lüc, and her own self doubt. Now, this video is a nonlinear story line so I’m gonna do my best to put this in a way that makes sense.
Gaga is returning to Nebraska in a bionic exoskeleton. She has been morphed into a machine for the sake of perfection as seen fit by the world and possibly other men. She is returning to the man who once upon a time tried to force her to change herself or perfect herself. Now mermaids represent a duality in nature( half human and half fish) and Gaga has said she lives in half fantasy and half reality. It appears that the man was changing her from mermaid to human. He was erasing the part that was fantasy and tried to force a full existence of reality on her. The bionics show injury from this. She left him, for no clear reason.
Here’s where Jo comes in. Gaga appears alone with Jo in a cornfield and at a piano. This is Gaga alone with herself (meant many different ways). She is free and alive with herself and her piano (the most treasured artifact in Gaga mythos). And the “Gaga on Gaga action” represents self-love, the ultimate thing required for a lasting relationship. She loves and respects herself and now that she is able to do that she returns to the man who once tried to change her and the two are able to have a relationship that lasts because she has gained self-love in her journey."

What the word "normal" means in this case is "it had no budget".

to be fair, that shot of her playing the piano is probably the most un-gussied I've ever seen

which is an improvement

I understand all that, I just think the non-linear plotline makes the entire thing very confusing. It was a poor decision to do it like that IMO.

TEoG had a big enough budget, she just ended up scrapping her original idea on the last day of shooting to make a more basic video. The original TEoG concept involved mermaids and surgeons and military officers, and those ideas apparently were just carried over into You & I... resulting in a bit of a convoluted mess of a video.

I once had a professor who, completely seriously, tried to critically analyze the Telephone video during class and admitted that he couldn't think of what the cigarette glasses represented. He was a huge Gaga fan and knew everything about her, so I can only wonder what he thinks of this.

I'm not a fan so I'm not going to judge how well the music video interpreted the song.

I will say, that was some of the worst lip synching I've ever seen.
