Thoughts?
JUDAS

I am not a fan. I think there is intelligent, thought provoking music that pushes the cultural envelope and it's great, but this feels like she is writing it to shock. Besides, the 3 times she keeps saying over and over refers to Peter who denied Jesus, not Judas who betrayed him.

Like most Gaga songs I hated it at first and now I can't stop listening to it.

You know how The Simpsons or Animaniacs take a well-known song and invert a few notes to make an obvious parody? It sounds like she did that to Bad Romance in this one.

But I'll give it time. Like in Erik's case, her songs tend to grow on me over time (though Born This Way never has...)

Agreeing with Calvin 100%, right down to Born this way never growing on me.

I thought that, too! I was afraid to say anything, though, because I thought Borstalboy might yell at me!

I don't like the time changes, I felt the ones in Born this Way interrupted the flow in a similar way.

Being a part-time Jungian, I'm very much in favor if juxtaposing Jesus and Judas, as opposed to the more archetypal Jesus v. Satan. By using that, and imagining them her boyfriends, she knows that one represents her acceptable self and the other her shadow. Since even Oprah has gotten hip to Jung, I think it's fun to hear it so front and center in a pop song.

I like the chorus a lot. But I can't understand anything else.

I think I'm Gaga'ed out.

Overkill.

Too much. Too soon. Too little time to deal with it.
I can't help but recall Dale Bozzio with this new 'look'.

I'm so over her. Anyone who (or whose people) treat Weird Al they way she (they) did isn't worth my time

Does she only know how to write dance music? I haven't been following her, but it seems every song of hers I've heard has the same beat and, frankly, they're all starting to blend together in my mind. She should write a ballad every now and then. Change it up.

Oh, and my favorite lyric from the song, only 'cause it's so bad:

I've learned love is like a brick you can
Build a house or sink a dead body

She and Weird Al made up.
