Part 2: J U D A S – Lady Gaga [The Video Review of Tika’s Version]

dear blogspot who keep listening me,

sorry for the late post again. so this post is about the part 2 of my review about JUDAS by Lady Gaga. and this one is the MUSIC VIDEO REVIEW after i wrote about the lyrics review a few weeks ago.

the first time when i watched JUDAS music video, my comment is SUPER COOL EPIC CONCEPT! this one the SURPRISE from lady gaga to her world fans. the video concept is SO CREATIVE! i really really admire lady gaga. she's very very adorable as the composer, singer, dancer, choreographer, and director! (: this is TOTALLY AMAZING. lady gaga put everything perfect for her JUDAS professional project <3

i studied catholic religion in my school from grade 1 and i learned alot about the journey of Jesus and his disciples to Jerusalem so i think this video concept is similar with what i learned in school before.

so for you all who haven't watched her cool creativity,, you should watch her judas video on youtube! i hope you have the same thought with me.

but this JUDAS video put a lot of CONTROVERSIAL from many people around the world because this one such a crazy idea.



and these one are my review, my version.

- i thought that the concept is about modern life of Jesus. you can see how handsome the actor who played Jesus is, how pretty Lady gaga as Mary Magdalene is, how sophisticated the Jesus apostles use to go everywhere (the motorcycle) is. LOL. you can see on the fashion they use on the video. and also the property, the places, the video settings. lady gaga acts as mary magdalene.

- on the beginning, lady gaga was on the motorcycle with Jesus (symbolized by the man with the crown on his head), followed by Jesus' apostles who were riding motorcycle too. lady gaga looked happy with Jesus. but suddenly, judas came to the Jesus' motor, came approach to Lady Gaga and influenced her.

- Jesus saved Lady Gaga away from Judas (on the crowd fight scene) but lady gaga decided to follow Judas.

- but finally, Lady Gaga feels guilty to leave Jesus. She can't ignore the Judas' temptations.

- then, lady gaga was veiled on red and blue scarf. that was to indicate that Lady Gaga acted as Mary Magdalene.

- lady gaga pointed "peter" name (one of Jesus' disciples). that was to symbolize what Peter said in the Holy Bible about Peter as the priest finally.

- there is lipstick gun scene where lady gaga put lipstick to Judas's lip, i think that was to symbolize that Judas was bad guy who betrayed holy man, Jesus. and lady gaga knew about it so she wanted to kill Judas but she couldn't because she was really in love with Judas. that's why she just put lipstick gun on Judas lip as her love mark. this was following by the session where Judas kiss Jesus chick was to symbolize that Judas totally betrayed Jesus. i'm sure that was adapted from Holy Bible.

- the next session was when lady gaga was standing by the ocean waves. that was to symbolize lady gaga was hard to choose. she was confused to choose between Jesus or Judas. she was like a boat which was swayed in the middle of the ocean. she couldn't decide her choice certainly.

- and then, she was sitting between Jesus (God) and Judas (evil) on the bathtub. i think she was choosing which one she will follow as the truth way.

- finally, she choose Jesus. so she washed Jesus' feet. i think this was adapted by HOly Bible too where Mary Magdalene washed Jesus' feet and put fragrance on His feet. so Jesus forgave Lady Gaga.

- but because Lady Gaga had been making sin because she followed Judas before, so she was punished by standing in the middle of a lot of people and the people should throw a lot of stones & rocks to Lady Gaga until she was died. (the scene where lady gaga wear white dresses on the eventually scene). that was also adapted from Holy Bible where Mary Magdalene want to be thrown by alot of people with stones because she did adultery but finally she didn't because Jesus help her so Mary Magdalene wasn't died. but in Lady Gaga music video concept, Lady Gaga was died.

okay, i feel i like a religion teacher who teach you about some of Holy Bible verse. but once again, i don't mean to be a religion teacher / priest / pastor who instruct you.

i think the song is not meant to offend any religion. i know this JUDAS song get a lot of angers and dislike critics from a lot of people. but i don't want to intervene. everyone has their own right to give opinion.

i think that it is a metaphor for always loving the wrong guy, when your really true love that is good for you is right in front of you


how is your opinion about JUDAS by Lady Gaga?
