Lady Gaga's 'Judas' Video Gets Early Release

Lady Gaga Judas VideoInterscope

Lady Gaga's 'Judas' video has arrived ahead of schedule! Slated to premiere tonight (May 5) on E!, the much talked about, highly anticipated video found its way on to the internet and went viral hours before the TV premiere time.

The already-controversial 'Judas' video depicts co-director Gaga's take on Biblical motifs, with Mama Monster as a swaggering Mary Magdalene biker chick opposite model-turned-actor Norman Reedus' smoldering Judas Iscariot, Jesus' notorious betrayer. Baptisms, biker brawls and menage-a-trois bathtub scenes ensue. The video's wardrobe includes chains, leather, bejeweled crosses and, of course, a crown of thorns. All of which provocative content lends weight to creative director Laurieann Gibson anxiety about the fearless Gaga's sexed-up re-interpretation of the Christian holy book.

Gaga's eager "monster" fans will not be denied -- just a few weeks ago, the 'Judas' audio leaked as well, a whole four days early. Gaga has been building the 'Judas' video release anticipation and working hard promoting the upcoming 'Born This Way' album with performances on 'Ellen' and most recently, on today's 'Oprah.'

I love Lady Gaga!! She continues to inspire me everyday, and proves that it's okay to be weird and true to yourself. When the acolapse comes, everyone (Little Monsters) who listens to Lady Gaga will survive. We are the master race, and together, we will rebuild the planet and there will be no hate, predujice, and crime. Put your paws up if you believe in the Gagavision. "So many will try to destroy me. So many, over and over, coming in periods of greatness. But in this period, I cannot be broken. GAGAKLEIN."

"This is the Manifesto of Little Monster:

There is something heroic about the way my fans operate their cameras. So precisely, so intricately and so proudly. Like Kings writing the history of their people, is their profilic nature that both creates and procures what will later be perceived as the kingdom. So the real truth about Lady Gaga fans, my little monsters, lies in this sentiment: They are the Kings. They are the Queens. They write the history of the kingdom and I am something of a devoted Jester. It is in the theory of perception that we have established our bond, or the lie I should say, for which we kill. We are nothing without our image. Without our projection. Without the spiritual hologram of who we perceive ourselves to be or rather to become, in the future. When you are lonely, I will be too. And this is the fame."

One day, the world will be ours (Little Monsters and Mother Monster a.k.a Lady Gaga).

MARK 8:36 - For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?


And the Merciful Father GOD of all time still has mercy on her Soul through the Blood of Jesus Christ....Now that's Love!

Gaga is hot. from the inside out. so what if she's a bad ass. she openly says she's a performance artist. she's also not what i would call conventionally beautiful, but she does have a killer body, lots of talent, and tons of style.

I am not supporting but, it sounds to me as if she is having an Augustine moment. She is aware of the true God and wants to sin for now and hit bottom due to conscience. Her heart sounds to me, she wants to get back to a deep relationship with her lord and saviour. Just a Catholic perspective. Vivat Jesus
