Lady Gaga Judas - like a prayer video?

14-04-2011
Let's face it...love gaga...love madonna.....liked born this way but it was too express yourself and vogue derivative ...slightly disappointed especially among the hype .....so to hear that the video to judas has a similar story line to the like a prayer video disappoints me.... I so hope that it's not true....by all accounts she plays the part of Mary M saving a black man from a crime he did not commit ....I love original Gaga as evident in just dance, poker face, bad romance and paparazzi. I have also heard that Judas rehashes bad romance. So a rehashed bad romance with a like a prayer video does scare me..... I need it to be great to restore the faith lol

I'm surprised that she wasn't pulled up for her Madonna 'bits' in the Alejandro video.... with the 'Vogue' looking bits and the religious imagery whilst people like Christina Aguilera get ripped to shreds when they do something similar. One rule for Gaga, one rule for everyone else...

... We will have to wait and see what Judas turns out like (the song and the video) but after the disappointment that was BTW (the song AND the video) I feel like she really needs to pull something out of the bag.

And before someone jumps on me, YES, I know that BTW was #1 for 6 weeks in America but that doesn't make it a GOOD song.

Judas supposedly rehashes Bad Romance in the same way that Bad Romance rehashes Poker Face. i.e. it's a progression of that particular Gaga/RedOne sound.

Pop Justice said it knowingly references BR (similar to how she gives a nod to Just Dance in Monster, perhaps), but that doesn't mean she's just repeating herself.

As for the Like a Prayer comparison...I feel that's a bit of a premature assumption and a generalisation that anything with Biblical theme is automatically just LAP reincarnate.

I'm sure a lot of people will harpoon her regardless of how the video turns out, but it seems kind of lazy. BTW was just, but Judas seems unfair - already.

It would be so nice to Listen to GaGa or search for her without hearing
Madonna and her being compared again!

The reason she did not get ripped on with the Alejandro video is because Lady GaGa ripped off specific late 1960s/early 1970s banned religious horror film images, not Madonna. Plus there were other specific scenes inspired from Liza Minnelli's Cabaret; and David Bowie films The Man Who Fell To Earth and Christine F.

Plus anyone who starts talking about Madonna being original and not a thief is quite frankly invalidating their own argument.

I hope this isn't true. I want to see something by Gaga where she ISN'T accused of ripping off Madonna's style (when Madonna wasn't completely original herself anyway). I don't want another Express Yourself-Gate

Madonna always paid homage! but many of the things that she has been accused of evidently werent rip offs....i mean JEEEZ, Kylie ripped off Che guevara :O the scandal!!!

right Madonna herself has not stated ever she was original. She brings the underground out into the mainstream. She is iconic, legend and talented. She broke boundaries. And there was a page on facebook that said that while she paid tribute to Marylin, greta garbo, Marlene Deitrich etc. she remained Madonna 100% bringing back deceased Icons of old skool Hollywood. always tongue firmly in cheek!

gaga is bringing back EVENT pop of Madonna, Michael Jackson, David Bowie and Andy Warhol. Each respective artist released fantastic work (Warhol and Madonna MAINLY however is evident in her career!) Judas will have its own message. And even if it is like LAP....so what LAP is a masterpiece song with one of the finest videos of all time from my all time favourite album (never gonna change!) Judas is gonna rock the world!

I don't know why or how Gaga is getting away with ripping off Madonna so much but I have a feeling Judas will be the straw that breaks the camels back.

Because she's doing it on purpose and completely ****ing with everyone.

It's not like it's a very well hidden or subtle attempt to rip Madonna off (when she does), is it?

OP: Judas snippets have leaked, and it doesn't sound like a rehash of Bad Romance at all.

Anyway I haven't heard the part about saving an innocent black man from commiting a crime but if she does it she will surely be accused of ripping off Madonna AGAIN. I know Madonna wasn't exactly original herself but she has had a career of 25+ years and a solid hardcore fan base of millons around the world who wouldn't hold back in trying to tear Gaga to shreds for copying Madonna - as we've already seen with BTW. I'm a huge fan of Gaga and I wouldn't want to see her career in tatters in the future if the blatant Madonna references continue, she's so much better than that.

PS: Judas sounds so much better than BTW already!

So we're saying Judas has ripped of Madonna BEFORE WE'VE HEARD THE SONG OR SEEN THE VIDEO?

Reminds me of how everyone said Alejandro ripped of Vogue based on a 10 second preview.

ermmmm just heard the track.... and i love the intro chorus judas hook.....doesnt remind me of bad romance and is more original sounding than BTW....the verses are a bit hit and miss but i think its the dj shadow mixing/sound production....he is raw and unpolished.. so yes the faith has been restored.....for now...
