Oh Hi, Jo Calderone!
Lady Gaga's alter ego stars in the "You And I" video. Read More »

Contrary to initial reports, Lady Gaga‘s video for “Judas”, the second single from Born This Way, did not cost $10 million dollars to make. Even if the clip for the religion-skewed romance dance track cost Gaga two shiny pennies, we’d still be head over lobster claws waiting to see what visual delirium she’s come up with this time (especially since she co-directed “Judas” with her creative director Laurieann Gibson). Now’s the time, little monsters — watch the makeup-gun-toting pop star’s latest creation.

“I want to allow the video to speak for itself but I will say that the theme of the video and the way that I wanted to aesthetically portray the story was as a motorcycle Fellini movie where the apostles are revolutionaries in a modern-day Jerusalem,” Gaga explained to MSNBC about the video. “And I play Mary Magdalene leading them into the town where we meet Jesus and I will leave the rest for you to see. But it’s meant more to celebrate faith than it is to challenge it.”

What do you think of Gaga as Mary Magdalene, Biker Babe? And where does this rank in the entire catalog of Mama Monster’s music videos?

    It’s crap, boring and looks beyond cheap…

    Oh how I miss Madonna, comeback already girl! Btw. that stoned to death shot was already made by Marilyn Manson in his “Man that you fear” video. Chola? Gwen Stefani did it in her “Luxurious” video…

    Another flop for Lady Gagme, NEXT!

  2. ELmo.

    Wow..se decribed it very well…as a MAster Piece…and if anyone says this is cheap and boring and sucks….U are straight up lying to urself or in denial

  3. Yaya

    Like a Prayer is so much deeper , hell Madonna is a lot deeper than this.. Gaga is a good singer and she puts out good music but in no way is this anything new.

  4. nene

  7. Javi

    She just is doing her job:BRAINWASHING HER FANS.Another DEMONIC ANTHEM.
    The only way to sell this crap song is exploiting the contempt the world has for
    Christianity.She is Satanic.The one who denied this is stupid.

    Um, Marilyn Manson did not invent stoning. Anyway, the video was awesome. It’s probably her best work, although I’ll always have a special place in my heart for Bad Romance because, in addition to being her best video to date at the time, it arrived just as she soaring above her peers and emerging as a major player in the music industry. The Born This Way video was very cool too, but was much more “artsy” and obviously didn’t please the general public who just wanted to see some boobs and funny outfits. This video really gets the balance of pop and art just right, just as Bad Romance did. A+!

    By the way I love how her haters are always the first in line to comment, like they’re waiting eagerly for her to come out with something new so they can bash it, and yet they always claim they’re bored by her. Something doesn’t add up there. Also, if you still want to call her “Satanic” after watching this video, you need your head checked. The whole video was a love letter to Jesus for God’s sake.

  11. jendora

    I really like Lady Gaga a LOT but her wearing horns and shoulder spikes all the while calling us little monsters, AND this song “…Judas is the demon I cling to, I cling to” are people just looking the other way or does she seem a little…. well I dunno like demonic???

    Still love her… if u hate this vid, watch paparazzi.. still love that one… artistic beyond this new stuff.

  13. elena

    wth is she doing? okayy ilove gaga but its like shes making it easy for me to hate her ):
    imiss the old gaga, but now shes just a freakk &looking for attention :/

  14. MarlonBrutal

    btw is “artsy”? and general public just wants to see some boobs and funny outfits??? wasn’t she wearing a bikini in her video, or some “funny” (ugly) outfits? FAIL

  15. MarlonBrutal

    the video looks cheap. i can’t believe it’s cost of 10 mill $. and the best video ever? no. not impressed with it’s kitschy content.

  16. Elaprez

    LOVE this video! Gaga has gone beyond the limits and the imagination! I adore her creativity! she is so AWESOME! I confess that I will say that I´m her little monster!

  17. Anonii

    Hey did anybody notice at 1:39 the neon sign said Electric Chapel, the name of one of the songs on BTW?!?!?!?!?! Is it just there or could be a sign that it could be the next single?
    Oh and I loved this video despite all the haters with no lives say!

  18. Tiffany

    I think she is using “demon” as a metaphor. You know, the old devil on one shoulder, angel on the other theme.

    I really like the video, it is beautiful and interesting at the same time. The wave part in the end is gorgeous.

  19. Lexy

    I don’t know what she was thinking when she made this video. Its a hot mess! what was she even singing about?

  20. Jennie

    um…no its not, judas betrayed jesus

  21. jendora

    In the making of this video Lady Gaga raped 14 orphans

  22. Your Master

    Lady Gaga is most likely the worst thing to happen to the human race

  23. Your Master

    probably true

  24. Dropped ur pweefcase

    The sound of the chorus was very similar to Bad Romance… the song sucks and the music video is extremely weird.
