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...? Judas & Mary Magdalene lovers? A crown of thorns on Judas...? Jackets with names of the apostles? Her washing Judas's feet? 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... Yeah I really don't get how some people are like "this is her least offensive video yet" or "this isn't controversial" when you have those blatant religious images/lyrics in the whole thing. 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 Good point. It's funny how as much times as Britney has been brought up in this thread, you would have thought this point would have been brought up as it is one of the most sensible and relating ones to the song. I agree that "3" was more directly offensive than this though. With this, there is at least some talk of it not being literal and being a metaphor but the lyrics of that were blunt and straight to the point. It wasn't beating around the bush.

While I don't find the video astounding, it is definitely better than BTW's video. As many people have put it, the imagery is amazing, nice costumes and good dancing, I didn't understand the video's concept but I haven't had a good night's sleep so maybe that's why, I'm a bit slow pardon me

Holy s**t...she SLAYED her Oprah performance today :'( Wow, she DID that. Whenever she does her acoustic/ballad sets she never ceases to completely win me over. I still remember "Speechless" at the VEVO launch. :'( "You And I" will probably be the "Honest Eyes/Speechless" for me this era; aka most played track of the era. :'(

And I don't recall "Just Dance, Poker Face, Paparazzi, Nothing Else I Can Say" or "LoveGame" being even mildly offensive tbh. I'd say "Alejandro" is her most offensive with this in a close 2nd.

No, 3 was about a game of twister. Peter, Paul and Mary getting down on the floor, playing twister with 3 players, with Britney caught inbetween. >:(

I enjoyed the video. She looked good in most scenes which is a plus. I like how it is dark, but not overly so, nice balance.

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... LOL it sounds like something she would do.......smh

Maybe it's just that I haven't slept in over 24 hours... Noperz. Even before the video I felt she was hinting at a romantic relationship between Jesus & Judas, in the song.

The video fit the song in that both are awful.
She did look the best she has in awhile though, and there were a few neat visuals.

I am not a fan of BTW or Judas, but 'You and I' just might pull me back for this era. She killed it on Oprah. ETA: I liked her makeup in the video and her bod looks bangin'.

I liked the video. Awful is way too harsh. I could think of far worse videos. lol I mean, when I think of awful, I think of an F. Is this really THAT bad? Not IMO. I give it a B.

is iTunes frozen? It's been like 4 hours since the video premiere and there's been virtually no movement for this.

It's on her YouTube channel now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wagn8Wrmzuc&feature=player_embeddedI was expecting the religious aspect of the video to be much greater but I'm glad it was just an underlying element. I was also expecting it to be much darker and more out there than it was. The video feels like the lovechild of "Bad Romance", "Telephone", and "Alejandro". I thought the choreography was a tad cheesey. ;) I thought Gaga looked really great throughout it. Many of the guys in the video are really hot. :kii: My favorite part is the last quarter or so of the video. I like the video overall. I prefer this video over "Born This Way".
