Frank Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) The first 2 minutes or so... I am a happy bunny That Michael Jackson&Madonna "dress-up" at the end was quite cool The visuals are very striking too. Reminds me of...Salvador Dali, maybe? Edited March 1, 2011 by Frank
Pancake Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Oh no no noes! Sounds like Bon Jovi! I'll stick to the original! (i quite/really like it now - has serious slow burning powerz).
Paj! Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 It's the lyrics that are the most unweildy part of the song. The original production is actually great. So that's what needed changing (not in subject - think it's brilliant in essence what the song says of course).
mcj metroid Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Why was this version made? It's quite good actually. That " don't be a drag just be a queen" doesn't work here though. In fact the song would be a lot better in general if she stopped the talking parts.
Frank Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 I think that's her way of "inventing" a new genre though. I've heard she's after a techno/rock sound. So, I think it suits the song. The country/techno is a nice, unusual twist. I think I prefer the country road version. As for the original, like Pancake said, the pop version is a slow burner. It's really growing on me.
Frank Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 http://gagadaily.com/2011/04/song-premiere-lady-gaga-judas/#more-17642 Gaga releases "Judas". Interesting. I actually do really like it. It's a little...or lot like a Bad Romance 2.0. Also seems to just be ticking the boxes for what's popular now. Regardless I've listened to it several times and I love how she sings the "Juda-juda-as GA GA!" part I also love how she sings the verses. Quite Rihanna.
Retro_Link Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) Yeah it's better! Though still some way off of Bad Romance. The Chorus is kinda Eurovision :p, but that's ok! Probs gonna find myself singing that all the time! Until I hear the album, she's not hitting Fame Monster levels, and not sure about the speaking part again @2.50, but a step up from Born This Way at least! Edited April 15, 2011 by Retro_Link
Frank Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Definitely. Felt the same about the chorus yet I'm singing it. All she wants probably :p I feel from listening to random bits like "Scheibe" and "Government Hooker" it'll be a lot better I like the lyrics in "Judas"... Oh, I heard someone on the interweb saying something along the lines that Judas betrayed Jesus 4 days before Easter and this song was released early by 4 days. Regardless of if it was intentional, I like that Forgot to mention, Desi version of Born This Way is also worth a listen. Very nice overall production.
Paj! Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 I like the production I hear so far from this album. 90's-influence is always welcome. Of course Roisin Murphy did it first, but it's fine. GaGa steals from Murphy all the time. Boring song overall though.
Paj! Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 --- Apparently this is the official album cover. I HOPE it's fake. It's been "reported" though (by Perez Hilton *vomit* who I think is a friend of hers or something). I hope this is a filthy, horrible lie.
Shorty Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 Looks like somebody googled metallic text photoshop tutorial.
Frank Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 It was on her Twitter so I imagine it's real. The scary thing is that she said she'd stayed up over 72 hours working on it... oh dear... My favorite response to this -- "I don't speak German, but I can be a bike"
Retro_Link Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 It was on her Twitter so I imagine it's real. The scary thing is that she said she'd stayed up over 72 hours working on it...I could understand the end result if she produced this cover just by herself after 72 hours googling photoshop tutorials etc... But if not (actually either way) just oh dear, that's one bad artwork! I don't understand it in the slighest either, what's her head badly photoshopped on to a motorbike got to do with any of the messages she's been putting out behind this album and born this way?
Ashley Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Don't worry! The special edition is a close up of her face from that art work. Shame about the face though.
ReZourceman Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 What does she mean in her song when she says "It doesn't matter if you love him or capital H I M" uhghhh...I just hate her, its embarrassing typing these stupid lyrics. Whatdoues itmean
Retro_Link Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 What does she mean in her song when she says "It doesn't matter if you love him or capital H I M" uhghhh...I just hate her, its embarrassing typing these stupid lyrics. Whatdoues itmean I've wondered this, so after a quick google, which led to the Gaga forum... Omg... Gaga has explained this before...She said "H-I-M" is someone you look up to, your higher self. For example, your H-I-M could be Lady Gaga, if you look up to her. It could be any type of God-like figure that inspires you in life. It could be Jesus, Alah, etc, but she is saying it doesn't matter what you believe in, we are all equal, we all love and look up to different people and things, it doesn't have to be just a human (him) that we can love. We can love other people that influence us and it doesn't matter. We shouldn't judge people on it. Apparently something along those lines?! Sometimes I think she tries a bit too hard!
ReZourceman Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Wow. Way stupider than I was even prepared for.
Ashley Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 ...I still say its the shit Finnish band. And I hate the messiahification of Lady Gaga.
ReZourceman Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 ...I still say its the shit Finnish band. But the beginning and middles of their songs are all good? Teeheehee.
Ashley Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 You can't use bad puns a few mere posts after criticising Lady Gaga's written work.

I know It confuses me. I don't understand why she didn't have this one... It's a lot better At least the special edition is, like Ashley said, a close-up of her face. Speaking of her lyrics, I do quite like them. I appreciate that she at least writes her own lyrics. I mean...I really do love the lyrics to "Judas" "I'll wash his feet with my hair if he needs Forgive him when his tongue lies through his brain" "In the most Biblical sense, I am beyond repentance Fame hooker, prostitute wench, vomits her mind But in the cultural sense I just speak in future tense Judas kiss me if offenced, Or wear an ear condom next time" Give me that instead of "PUT YO HANS UUP!!" For the 1000th time... Edited April 17, 2011 by Frank
