You cannot even begin to imagine how frustrated and pissed off I am that this bombed, there are no words to describe it.

I'm actually not as disappointed about this underperforming as I thought I would be. It's my 2nd least favourite single by her (ahead of LoveGame) sooo if any of her singles had to "underperform" I'm glad it's this and not Telephone, Born This Way, Poker Face or Paparazzi.

Yeah, this song is simply not as strong as the rest of her singles.

LMAO @ the fact this flopped so hard
And also @ all the explanations Gaga fans are blundering up as to why.
The song just sucked.... (Although I did like it more than BTW)
The public is now thinking that Gaga's career has peaked after her first era; she has yet to outdo herself. Definition example of sophomore slump.

^LMAO, you tell 'em this did not flop in the very sense of the word, but it underperformed as it was her first single not to go Top10 on the Hot100 Airplay, but I still love it death

Lowest peaking single on: Hot 100 Airplay Pop (At the rate it's going it will also be her lowest selling single) You got to admit that for a project so hyped as GaGa's album, it was quite an 'underperformer'.

Plz, Hot100 top 10 debut does not equate to this being a hit. Thats just her fanbase buying the single upon initial release. Radio flop... deny all you want

It is, which is why its poor performance baffles me. It's a great, catchy song. I hated it at first, but it grew on me and I love it now. I figured it would eventually catch on and smash, but I guess I was wrong. Oh, well...at least 'TEoG' is taking off.

It is and it isn't; the production is too disparate and each section of the song is essentially a song in itself. It's certainly not an easy ride.

I think a lot of people did not give it a chance to grow on them. So many people admit to hating it at first and then falling in love with it. However, if the hate is too strong out of the gate they wont even give it a second chance. I think that happened.
I also think top 10 debut on Hot 100 is not really a sign of a hit. It sold a lot opening week based on hype and her name. It would never have gotten anywhere close to that without a big debut week with full on radio promo. If this song had come from Gaga as a first single then we may have never heard of her.

It took too long, which isn't what you want with a radio single.

Blah Blah Blah, hit number 7 on the Hot 100 and sold 2 million copies. And K$ isn't as big as Lady Gaga. If BBB was a flop, Judas is clearly a flop.

Also BBB had a lot more going for it then Judas. You can't compare the two.

If it hasn't been addressed here already, there's a remix EP for this dropping the 16th. BBB had 3OH!3 so... Also BBB had a lot more going for it then Judas. You can't compare the two. 3OH!3's presence is irrelevant since, you know, the single still did poorly, and exactly what did 'Blah Blah Blah' have going for it that 'Judas' didn't? Either way, 'Judas' is.. well underperforming is kind of an understatement. This flopped. Coming off of a multi-week incredibly successful number one single from a big name artist then this? Yeah, don't really see how that can be argued. Don't really see what the big deal is though, flops happen to everyone at some point or another.

Far too much to even bother listing. I don't really care. Judas did great. I'd love to see other artists try to have their own Judas and have it chart as well as it did.

Still every single song she has put out has hit the billboard top 10 and also hasn't all her songs gone to number one on iTunes?

BBB is a different case to this though because K$ was a new artist with a fraction of the hype Gaga had and BBB sold 2 million overall..at the rate things are going "Judas" will not.

This Hit #10 on the Hot100
with
UNDER 3 days of sales on ITunes.
It would have been higher given a full week.
The song didn't connect quickly enough with the public. Big deal. It's still a great song and won't hurt Gaga's album in the long run.

I love how the go-to response for Gaga fans these days is a short "I don't think so" or "too many to list" or something to that effect. Like, really now, we're asking politely for you to elaborate. Please do us the favor of sharing the wisdom you seem to think you have. Let's make it a discussion, shall we?
In other news, the Goldfrapp remix and Mirrors Une Autre Monde-Nuit remix to this are both absolutely amazing.

To those that say Judas wasn't a flop need to wake up. You're in denial. I don't care if the song debuted at #10 or even #5 on the Hot 100 thanks to its "incredible" sales, it still tumbled like a box of rocks and will have no longevity. I doubt it will sell any albums. The definition of flop varies from artist to artist. Lady Gaga has never had a single peak outside of the Top 5 on Pop. This peaked at #15. FLOP

I'll be incredibly pissed if there are a lot of songs on her album who are miles better than Judas, and Judas got the single treatment.
I think they did that cuz Judas sounds like something that would fit nicely on her TFM album, but this is a new project, with a new sound and that's what BTW (whom I love) and EOG are.
