Already an improvement from the Alejandro/Born This Way videos. I am glad it is better!
Anyways, the music video leaking is NOT a good thing for her right now. It is NOT what she needed to happen.

I'm sure she has a barrage of hidden meanings that will surface at a later date (bluh), but even without them, that's a hot video. Great choreography, love the imagery and it's so colourful. Here's hoping it does something for the song, it's one of my favourites of hers.

I doubt it will have that much (if any) impact - it's not as if it leaked way prior to its official release.

Are those crosses on her nipples? Yeah I think so. Didn't she have a red-tape one on her vagina for Alejandro?

I'm in love with Judas too! this is the best she has ever looked in a video and the plot is great. Too bad that her best song ever is not doing as good as her previous singles.

What is controversial abt that video? i thought she was going to be giving Jesus a blowjob from the hype surrounding it.
I liked the video.

Leaking this early pretty much derailed the point of the E! premiere though and like the "Telephone" premiere, they were probably expecting a bigger viewership for that. Still, no biggie.

Ok.....
I really don't get the entire video but at least she's finally dancing better than a monkey that's been set on fire so that's an improvement.
Also, why was there an uncomfortable 5-second close up of feet?
Still, overall one of her better music videos, for me at least, probably because I didn't see/get the deeper meaning which is mostly because I was looking at the guys...don't judge.

Video is good, I think a lot of it is interesting. Mostly, I think it's good that it isn't totally over the top. People have been really blowing this controversial thing way out of proportion and I think the video helps stave some of that off.

I loved it? I mean, it was a hot mess and God even knows what she was getting at but I loved the visuals. It seemed to move a little slow at times but I did enjoy how choreography heavy it was. Very interesting. Part of me hopes she'll keep her trap shut about it so my sentiments can stay that way, but part of me almost wants to hear her attempt to make sense of it. MIXED FEELINGS.

It's really weird - I feel this massive sense of relief that's in not in your face controversy!

Yeah I was expecting controversy as well, but with that being said, I still don't like it. I don't get anything she does anymore.

^ how was it that Madonna was able to pull off being controversial for 15 years before people grew sick of it and gaga can't do it for 2 years?

I agree about the lack of controversy, though I had a moment of when I thought the cheek kiss was a mouth one. I really like the visuals, she looks pretty good, I enjoyed the way they showed every name on the jacket and "Electric Chapel". As for the charts, I'm glad they released it early, now it can either help the song or let them move on from this single. ^ how was it that Madonna was able to pull off being controversial for 15 years before people grew sick of it and gaga can't do it for 2 years? My only explanation is that her music was generally considered better, but it's about 8 years, not 2 (from the 1984 VMAs to SEX/Erotica). Also, we might just be underestimating the amount of controversy there was at that time.

Hopefully people will see that this isn't as controversial as everyone thinks it is and it can spring a second life into the song.

Did anyone else get the impression she was trying to speak for Jesus throughout this whole video like he was the one in love with Judas (in a more platonic sense than romantic)? Maybe it's just that I haven't slept in over 24 hours...

I actually like it. The imagery is amazing. The set and the costume. And that scene where she gets hit by the waves was just :o I like it! The quality is not the best yet and I do think this is not the final version yet, but I'm impressed. She still manages to look anorexic though

I think Gaga could never ever create another great, interesting, fun video like TELEPHONE. I'm not a fan of this new video.

Just watched the video and I love it. :o The song is AMAZEBALLS so I was just worried she would taint it but it was her best video since BR
There is blatant religious symbolism (of course the Jesus-like figure with the thorn crown on his head and her dressing up like Mary and the entire latter part of the video) but it didn't really come off annoying. She might still face backlash with it though...

I don't know how I'm supposed to feel lol.
I thought the crowns of thorns was a bit much. She couldn't just give him a beard or something?
I thought the part where she was in the ocean was incredible. I got goosebumps.
I loved the entire vibe of the thing. The dark, kind of creepy vibe. Loved that.
I thought she looked good. She looked...normal for a change. She should do it more often.
The song is still meh.
Definitely her best video since 'Bad Romance' for me.
