Laurieann didn't say ANYTHING in this quote about religion. "DarK" does not necessarily equate to religious blasphemy. That idea is pure interpretive speculation on this bloggers part. The way I interpreted Laurieann's remarks is that Gaga's image/tone became too "dark" and serious. She (Gaga) definitely takes herself way more seriously than she use to these days and through out the BTW era. She forgot how to be fun and poke fun at herself the way she use to. She went from wearing flamboyant costumes that were interesting, whimsical and sometimes a bit silly (in a good way) to high fashion monstrosities that try way too hard and lacked in the tongue-in-cheek quality that she use to have. Her BTW music video was so over the top trying to be "deep" and "darK" that it missed the mark about the message the song was trying to convey. Her "Judas" video again was her trying to come off "deep" and was suppose to "shock" with its religious imagery but just came off as big budget high-school production of Jesus Christ Superstar. Her "Marry The Night" clip again took itself way too seriously and tried so hard to come off as a cerebral but in the end looked like a ridiculous "b" grade foreign film. I'm glad she's hiding out for a while to recharge her creative juices and hopefully come back with something a little less "lofty". She's not that good at being "dark" and "deep"... I hope she just goes back to being fun.
