HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUDAS!
This day, 3 may, one year ago, Lady Gaga officially released her second music video from her 2nd studio album for the controversial song ''Judas''. The music video for it leaked hours before the official VEVO release. It is the most viewed music video for Lady Gaga's Born This Way era and for many people also the best she released this era.
In just one year, the video managed to get more than 136 million views on VEVO and became one of Gaga's signature music videos.
This was the first music video directed by Lady Gaga herself with some help from her choreographer and ex-creative director Laurieann Gibson.
The music video was also criticized by the Catholic League because of its strong biblical sense.
At the 2011 MuchMusic Video Awards, Gaga won the Best International Artist Video award for "Judas" and at the VMAs the video was nominated for both 'Best Choreography' and 'Best Art Direction'
So now let's take a moment and re-watch this masterpiece:
How'd you feel about Gaga having a gun to your head and then putting lipstick on you?
That was actually a real last minute thing, I was going in for the kiss and then Jesus and I looked at each other like, "Are we going to make out? What's going to happen?" But then she runs over in that outfit and she goes, "I got an idea! I'm going to pull out this gold gun, one that shoots lipstick out of it, and then I'm going to put it on you!" and then gave me a look like, "Is that cool with you?" and I just said, "Rad!" So she said, "Great!" It was totally last minute.
