Judas - Lady Gaga (Music Video)















Lady Gaga has just made herself literally close to the 20th century version of jesus christ.

The biker "jesus" that she's with, who sports a golden crown of thorns minus the long-hair-and-beard-your-kind-of-jesus-look,  leads his disciples/gang for the "last supper" to Jerusalem 

On second thought,  maybe The Monster wants more than just praying to the heavens, because for this new video, the pop superstar's relationship with the lord is more personalized -the jesus that she can touch and speak with, the savior that is within her reach.

After all, she proclaims herself Mary Magdalene - a "prostite wrench" who appears to be Judas' former lover and now a recent convert to jesus' cult.

The turning point in Lady Gaga's Judas is the "controversial" cultural baptism. 
Her Magdalene dances in a watered tub, together with the two important men in her life. Then the shots shift alternately to a standing woman who wears a signature bizarre costume, on her back, a 30-feet tsunami of Japanese holy water gushes in, eats her,  and carries the slut to eternity. 

Yes, the video is screaming biblical - expect criticisms and "she did blasphemy again" remarks from the "Christians."

The way i see it, watching closely, it's not a cheap portrayal of the alpha and omega - What Lady Gaga does, is an interpretation of salvation in her own way.

And like what Jesus preaches, if you live in sin, expect that in the end - you'll pay your price
