Lady Gaga Clears Up ‘Judas’ Video Confusion

Published: Friday 6th May 2011 by David

Lady Gaga sat down with E! News this week to explain the concept behind her controversial new video ‘Judas’.

The clip, as like many of the singer’s offerings, was labelled confusing and unclear by some. Yet in typically ‘out there’  fashion, the 25 year old readily breaks down the visual’s message.

See what she had to say after the jump…

Any wiser?

    Dating back to November of 2009, Lada Gaga’s 200 reported Monster shows grossed $227.4 million and drew 2.5 million people, according to numbers reported to Billboard Boxscore. Depending on how several other tours shake out this year, Monster Ball is flirting with becoming one of the top 10 highest-grossing tours of all time.

    WHO IS MAD????? THE LEGEND SLAYS…. SHE IS THE MUTHA.. SHE RUNS THE MUTHA

    Gaga’s tour has been a monster beyond just the box office numbers, with her army of dedicated fans known as “little monsters” packing houses and often dressing in outlandish style. Along the way, Gaga grew from a hot pop artist to one of the biggest acts on the planet. She won the Breakthrough Artist award at the 2010 Billboard Touring Awards and was named Billboard’s Artist of the Year in 2010.

    PRAISE THE LEGEND…. PRAISE THE LEGEND

    I see the Gaga haters are out.
    But anyways,, LOVEDDD the video.
    It was one of her best.
    I’m starting to love this era.

    And another thing…that 10 million dollars
    thing was a LIE.

  16. Lolita May 6, 2011

    Super Bass slayed this video. She’s confusing for no f****** reason. It’s sad this troll b**** can’t gain popularity without slandering someones religion.

    She needs to take notes from Rihanna, and learn how to sing and dance. And to sell concert tickets without all of the foolery.

  17. mehtney this way May 6, 2011

    LEGEND GAGA IS DA BEST…………… JUDAS VIDEO IS THE BEST VIDEO OF ALL TIME !!!!!!!!!!! DEAL WITH IT

  18. The Madonna Fraud May 6, 2011

    This b**** is so overrated, she can’t dance, singing is decent, music is generic

  19. samy May 6, 2011

    she doesn’t have to explain, she can sell anything she wants. everybody loves her and her video

  20. youcansaywhateveryoulike May 6, 2011

  21. mobwife…….”she aint you”!! :-) May 6, 2011

    Juliana is a HIDEOUS WITCH…..DAMN!!

    Gaga looks a hot mess but that Juliana woooo my GOD!

    Anyway, Gaga put her entire foot in her mouth with this song and video! Because she, PER THE AMERICAN MEDIA, is the new Madonna they will promote anything she produces! Judas is far worse then anything “M” ever did!!

    THE MEDIA IS EVIL!!! She gets these sweet lowball question while the media throws constant bullsh** questions at others! She curses and its cute..LOL! Let someone else do it and they are vicious and mean! THE MEDIA IS EVIL!!!…..Judas, Brutus, Whatever…..

  22. lisa281 May 6, 2011

  23. JJfan1814 May 6, 2011

  24. mobwife…….”she aint you”!! :-) May 6, 2011

    Ummm LEGENDS are neither made by the media nor defined by record sells!

  25. royalkev May 6, 2011

    @Mobwife…

    You really get it! I always see everyone else in the industry being scrutinized 10x worst! …It’s as if she’s trying to top the worst thing ever done.

    LADY GAGA MENTORING TOP 4 ON IDOL NEXT WEEK!!! PROMO BABYY!!!

  28. black madonna May 6, 2011

    I LOVE HER TO DEATH

  29. MISHKA May 6, 2011

    @KAT DELUNA, I got to agree with you . She chose to do it that way so that she would have to clarified after… Oh well

    The video is nothing spectacular anyway. I thought she would go harder than Madonna’s “Like A Prayer” but she didn’t even cast a black Jesus.

    And the choreography is lame, let’s be honest.

    The song is actually good but the hype kinda ruined it.

  30. MISHKA May 6, 2011

    oops I meant “clarify” ^^

  31. lol May 6, 2011

    it took me a second to truly UNDERSTAND the video but this what i got:

    In the beginng of the video Gaga is riding with Jesus to Meet Judas at the New Jerulsalem(lauryn gibson way of describin it)
    Gaga seems to apply that Jesus and Mary Magadalene had a special relationship …maybe a lover ?
    anyway as enevitably Judas betrays Jesus but Mary/lady gaga most choose who she gonna folllow Jesus/Good or Judas / Bad .
    Mary/Gaga is expected by jesus to shoot Judas but she doesnt only lipstick comes out instead of bullets …she made her choice … Mary/Gaga turns the gun on Jesus
    and helps Judas betray Jesus (ill bring Him down , bring Him down, down …A KING WITH NO CROWN!!! a.k.a. Jesus!

  32. BitchIcantevenspellwelfare May 6, 2011

    The fact that Gaga actually has to EXPLAIN her video says more about the people who don’t get it and less about her. The video is.very.self.explanatory. By the way, love the video!!!

    Alejandro is much more complicated but still pretty easy to comprehend.

    @LOLITA, “Super Bass slayed this video.” Are you serious? Uh, okay…..

  33. lol May 6, 2011

    im not sure if the video is blasphemous though if she is implying that Mary and Jesus
    has a relationship exceeding that of a Teacher / Disciple then it is Blashphemous

    but with Gaga you can never tell

    also i think she is running out of ideas the stoning scene was just simply thrown in their

  34. The Madonna Fraud May 6, 2011

    @LOL Everybody knows the story but it was just really corny ass hell to put a modern twist on it like that hasn’t been done before.

  35. Y’all are too fake May 6, 2011

    The video is NOT 10 Million dollars. That was a rumour, stop believing everything you hear. ENews has already confirmed that was false.

    Yall are really dumb. People keep saying it and it’s like you’d rather believe the lie

  36. Y’all are too fake May 6, 2011

    @ The Madonna Fraud

    It hasn’t been done before.
    Please show me a musical artist that has done this before?!!???? And not Madonna cuz Like A Prayer was nothing like this Video.

  37. Y’all are too fake May 6, 2011

    @ Lol

    You completely missed the point of the video. You were close on it until you made up the end.
    How can Jesus and Mary ride in to Jerusalem to meet Judas IF Judas was riding with them on the Motorcycles?? Your assumption doesn’t make sense. Gaga struggled to choose, but she choose Jesus over Judas in the video. And I didn’t get the concept of the stoning part either.

  38. mobwife…….”she aint you”!! :-) May 6, 2011

    @royalkev

    Absolutely!

    Someone the media dislikes could “sneeze” and they would swear that person was trying to spread disease!! Let one of their PETs do or say anything, humm it’s all good or they provide them with countless platforms to clarify their position! Case in point!

    I don’t dislike Gaga, I just don’t see the “icon” or “legend” her stans claim her to be after only being in the industry for 3 years!?!? Again, LEGENDS & ICONS are neither made by the media nor defined by record sells!!

  39. mobwife…….”she aint you”!! :-) May 6, 2011

    Oh LAWD no I didn’t just read someone quote her Youtube views as proof of something…LOL! Gaga is a gimmick she knows how to get attention. Honestly, I’m not necessarily mad at her for that!

  40. MusicFan May 6, 2011

    Lol, haters gon’ hate.

    Listen, the video was good. WAYY better than Born This Way. And all those Bey stans hating. AT LEAST OUR B**** HAS A NEW VIDEO OUT HOEEE!!!!!

    #STAYMADD… 🙂 It’s just so cute.

    Lol, Judas #11 on iTunes, Run The World, last time I checked was like 40 or 50 something? Idk, I just don’t check for that song no more. Bey gurl, come on release the next single already. The fact that you ain’t said a word about anything just screams END OF CAREER…

  41. MusicFan May 6, 2011

    I still think Bad Romance is her best though.

    1. Bad Romance
    2. Paparazzi
    3. Telephone
    4. Judas
    5. Born This Way
    6. Poker Face
    7. Eh, Eh, (Nothing Else I Can Say)

    Are you sure he’s not black because he appears black to me or Latino at the very least?!?!

  48. MusicFan May 6, 2011

    Lol, ^

    #YOUPRESSED

  49. MusicFan May 6, 2011

    Wow, @S***,

    Honestly, like no joke… I’m just like amazed you even said Judas was okay. I mean I thought you were equivalent to a delusional Bey stan who thinks everything she does is the best.

    BUT Run The World is just not up to par to Bey’s standard.

    And Born This Way won’t flop. Don’t call my girl a flop when she is running circles around yours as far as sales…

  50. MusicFan May 6, 2011

    I am honestly still waiting for Bey’s BIG COMEBACK. I ain’t seen no performance, no video, no NOTHING… I really want Bey to come hard. She just ain’t doing it.

  51. S*** May 6, 2011

    I have VERY LOW expectations of GAGa.

    & JUDAS is OKay, Atleast she looked good & CERTAIN parts of the song is good

    But her Album is gonna FLOP though. SORRY 😐

  52. MusicFan May 6, 2011

    Lol, naw I’m not because it’s funny how they expose everyone else, but they keep Bey with makeup. Why don’t they show Bey without make up?

    Lol. And, Bey may be hot, but that’s obviously NOT helping her with her career cuz last time I checked, she ain’t even crack the Top 20 h**…

  53. MusicFan May 6, 2011

    And whatever expectations you have, they can’t end up being as dissapointing as Bey’s were. Cuz the concept you don’t seem to be catching on to is that Bey has flopped. Lol. At least Gaga gets normal airplay and is rising again in iTunes. Lol. All you do to come at my girl is put up GIF’s and some witty comment. But that’s okay, I’ll let my girls numbers AND musical quality do the talking.

    BORN THIS WAY ERA>BEYONCE NEW ALBUM ERA. :/

    I love Bey too. I was hoping for her comeback.

  54. MusicFan May 6, 2011

    BTW, I still can’t get over the fact that you said the video is okay. And I agree she looked good at some points. Especially when she was wearing the red dress in the first dance scene after they arrive at the Electric Chapel in motorcycles.

    #JUSTSAYIN’

  55. S*** May 6, 2011

    @MusicFan

    RTW actually isnt doing HALF as bad as some make it sound, WHEN was Bey ever big on Itunes?? Bey has atleast 5 EXCUSES for why its a so called Flop. 🙂

    It STILL has a Chance + Bey has other songs lined up, this one might just be a buzz/warmup single. Even though the song is FLAWED Its STILL better than Whats out now IMO.

  56. S*** May 6, 2011

    Well Better than MOST of what Ive Heard on the radio this past year. 🙂

    Actually I Dont even listen to the Radio anymore, Lady GAGa is probably MOST responsible for that LOL…

  57. MusicFan May 6, 2011

    Haha, gurl please. Just say it straight up. RTW FLOPPED. And don’t bring the whole “Bey ain’t good on iTunes” s*** up because her ass has been flopping on Billboard the past what, three weeks? So just please don’t do it. Lol. SHE FLOPPED.

    *Awaits next single* maybe if she did something rather than forget she even has a singing career, we could get some quality music from her.

    Oh and quality…

    JUDAS>RTW.

  58. MusicFan May 6, 2011

    Lol,

    AT LEAST GAGA GETS RADIO AIRPLAY!!!!

  59. credits May 6, 2011

    i know she hates those shoes she is wearing, she looks like she was scared of breaking her legs when she was walking in them. Her image, i think it is all a front, she created a personality for the media.

  60. WHITEJESUS May 7, 2011

    no confusion here it was s*****.

  61. bey’knight May 7, 2011

    is it just me or did giuliana look like she was bored even before the interview started, she was yawing before gaga asked about her hubby

    for all the flack thrown at her, i don’t think gaga’s presence can be a bore to anyone lol

  62. bey’knight May 7, 2011

    @MUSICFAN

    there are other people who dont like the video or song that is judas. go back to original post and check, and noone mentioned beyonce till u did. ur just reaching because u see the ode to beyonce in their names. when will yall stop blaming beyonce for everything? she cant always be the big bad wolf!

  63. GagaIsLove May 7, 2011

    I love Beyonce.

    But honestly, Beyonce fans laughing at ‘Judas flopping’…. It’s just funny.

    :/

    If Judas is a flop, then what is Run the world?

    :/

  64. ERIC May 7, 2011

    @GAGAISLOVE

    you spoke right…

  65. Bey’knight May 7, 2011

    @GAGAISLOVE

    am the biggest beyonce fan but i agree. I said b4 d word flop has no meaning anymore or at least it has diff meanings to everyone. Ppl say things like flop this way but that song is anythin but

    Again not everyone saying this is a beyonce fan. Some jus dont like it for it

  66. latisha May 8, 2011

    @lolita honey you crazy who in they right mind would go to rihh for SINGING advice?? that b**** cant sing s***.

  67. Ryan May 14, 2011
