Bad Romance was a bit different as far as pop songs go, but the tittle and subject matter were very relatable.
I'm not sure Judas falls into this category. The idea of foolishly falling for the wrong guy is relatable, but the very specific example (a biblical figure) she's using to convey it isn't. Certainly not to youngsters who are iTunes buyers. Don't challenge them - give them cutesy (Katy) or trashy fun (Ke$ha). Give them what's easily accessible.

I wonder if the production will actually take away from anyone even really paying attention to the lyrics, though.
