Also, we might just be underestimating the amount of controversy there was at that time. Absolutely. Madonna was extremely controversial particularly during that during the period from Like a Prayer through Erotica probably even more so than Gaga. That was before the internet so things just went much slower but people underestimate just how many people she pissed off between that time.

Reguardless of what this song does, or how much controversy she generates, she's a force to be had. I would love to hear some pure pop though and not her trying so hard to make a statement. not to bring up madonna again, but she had a lot of controversy, but had some great pop songs thrown in there for fun as well. hard to not make the madonna comparisons, but i think that is a good thing because there's madonna, then everyone else.

I love the styling in the video and the idea, but does anyone else think that it's really poorly shot and edited? There's too many scenes and the plot never really comes through, it sorta gets stuck behind all the costume changes. The dancing doesn't work either, especially the arm swinging bit in "woooo, I'm in love with Judas." It's filmed like an epic dance number but it looks silly when everyone's barely doing a line dance.
The idea for this video had potential, but I don't think they've pulled it off.

Well it's far less WTF than Born This Way, I'll give her that. But I agree that the plot doesn't really come through in the video. All I really took away from it was that Jesus and the 12 disciples were depicted as a biker gang. And GaGa is Mary Magdalene... how? Other than we've all been told who she's supposed to be, and how she was hanging all over Jesus (where was the name on the back of HIS jacket BTW?) you wouldn't really know who she's meant to be in relation to all the others.

Video is strong as expected. One small quibble: the editing could have been better after the bridge. I would have preferred a cut to the choreography immediately after "I cling to" since that's such a moment of heavy intensity in the song. We needed to see it danced then cut back to the plot.
This is actually one of her most inoffensive videos in a while and relatively low frills by her standards, tbh. The crazy convuluted plot, extreme darkness, and uncomfortable moments are conspicuously absent here in favor of a simple plot and imagery. Smart move and I hope it pays off and helps people digest this song which can be polarizing initially. I guess we could have predicted that she would do a bait and switch of sorts getting people all riled up and delivering a high gloss but standard fare video. Of course, we will still have those feigning offense to the concept of this video but they're really just offended by her mere presence.

Are the 12 disciples supposed to be Hell's Angels?

Just watched it. As a Madonna fan....well, what can be controversial anymore?? Madonna walked naked on a highway, kissed a black saint that came alive..etc. I know I will get flack for this, but my point is, it's 2011. I wasn't shocked by the video at all. Loved the colors. I think it will help the song sell a few more on Itunes, but radio play is not going to change.

wow this is really doing badly on radio the people using the religious content excuse for the song's demise need to find something new because Plenty other songs got very far with as much; even Britney Spears 3 did and those lyrics could be taken even more blatantly offensive by sexualizing popular biblical figures. i liked the video but idk if it will even save this

I would love it if SHE died in a video. Just sayin.. Lol Oh my gosh! You're psychic! She does die! ;) Or at least it appeared that way in the end when she was being stoned or something...

Loved the video... wish I understood all the imagery though. Sad this isn't doing well on radio :(. This might be her first flop :( :( :(. I'm certain there will be other songs on the album that will salvage it though.

www.wat.tv/video/lady-gaga-judas-official-music-3nbj9_2zicp_.htmlIt's a little slow, be patient. How much did this MV cost again...? Jesus & Mary Magdalene lovers? Jackets with names of the apostles? Clearly, her being stoned and washed away by the sea are a metaphor of her career at the moment... I love Lady GaGa and the song. But this is a lame attempt at controversy...
