is iTunes frozen? It's been like 4 hours since the video premiere and there's been virtually no movement for this. It's been 4 hours since it *leaked*, and it's already up 3 spots.

Who is the guy that plays Jesus? He's hot. Rick Gonzalez. I knew I saw that mug before.

I prefer this video over "Born This Way". I agree, this is so much better than the BTW video.

Maybe I'm alone, but I liked the video. It's much better than her most recent ones. She looks great in it. It's visually pleasing. There's not a lot of derivative stuff. Overall, it was a good watch for me.

Well that sucked. I watched twice, and I really disliked it. Blahhh..
There's no way the video cost 10M either. That was shot at the Universal Studios backlot lol You can't get any cheaper than that. Enrique Iglesias shot his "Bailamos" video there, he even had a scene with the water...or were there scenes from a movie? I don't remember. I actually got a very cheap vibe off of it. I don't know..this era has been pretty disappointing in the video department. Oh well..

Love the video. The production values and imagery are really strong. Parts of the video remind me of Janet's "Escapade" which I love.
I feel wrong for wanting to do bad things with Jesus, though. Oh my.

Is it official that there is also an unedited/director's cut to this? I feel like this is a video that actually should have been longer.

Holy s**t...she SLAYED her Oprah performance today :'( Really, really good. I don't think there's nearly as much controversy here as people seem to want to believe. Some of what she's said herself hardly helped, but hopefully it was just a little blip. Let the album do the talking.

I can't at people calling the MV horrible. This is a good effort very tasefull sure it isn't "Telephone" or "Paparazzi" but I'm just glad it's nothing like the "Alejandro" video which was completely OTT and ridiculous.
BTW: For once she looks like a woman and not some thing. She actually looks beautiful in the video.

Not a fan of the music video though. It's a C- at best. Mess. NEWAIZ. I actually liked the video, it was visually very gorgeous. The color and quality of filming was very well done. I love the mixed themes throughout the video, I thought it was pretty damn original for a pop video. The dance scenes were fun, no too over the top or complex. This should be up there with her other good vids at the end of the day for these reasons, and it's better than BTW imo and somewhere around the Telephone/Paparazzi level of quality. Love the close up shots of her face, she has never looked so good. There's a lot of symbolism and imagery in here that will take a while to digest. From what I can tell about the general plot though, it follows the lyrics pretty closely. GaGa is meant to be in love with Jesus in the video but can't help longing for Judas even though she knows very well he's bad. (causing fights, being a womanizing jerk etc.) I'm sure people here are smart enough to dissect the metaphor used in the song anyways though, right? I think the gun scene is meant to represent her trying to confront and fight away judas, to put an end to her feelings. But she can't, hence lipstick rather than a bullet (lipstick being an obvious symbolism for passion.) There's a bath scene that follows the lyrics -- she's bathing their feet in the same water she washed her hair, and Judas pours a can of beer in the bath, typical jerk that he is. I'm sure that line in the song has some actual reference to biblical stuff perhaps but I just see it to mean humility of some sort. I think the wave is meant to symbolize her "sins" or bad feelings being washed away. Very intense scene. Anywaysss, in the end she gets like, stoned to death for her feelings for Judas, even though she is forgiven by Jesus for her feelings she has. By the way, it feels really weird typing about this being an Atheist and all. LOL.

What did you like 'better' about Telephone? Telephone was AWFUL. Don't break up the song into 47 little snippets. Judas rocks.

I liked it too. I have to watch in on the big screen on TV when it premieres on E! to get the true picture but from what I see on the computer and my iPhone, I like it. It's WAY better than Born This Way and Alejandro, but not better than Bad Romance or Telephone music videos! I think we all just want another bad romance or poker face type video from her. Something fun where we don't have to think too much, this brings it to some degree and I do like the dancing. I do wish they showed close ups of her more with the long curly blond hair ala Shakira towards the end of the video, they hardly show her face or body in those shots.

I watched the video again and I decided that I really like it now. She looks awesome, dancing is great, and the imagery is really nice. I'm excited to see the unedited version!

I just noticed: No facial prosthetics in the video. Perhaps this is why we think she looks so great in it -- it's been so long since she has been dressed up without them. I guess it's made us appreciate her natural beauty more or something. LOL.
