there will be no other version..
in the PV GaGa goes on a rock concert with Jesus and the 12 disciples (with Jesus as the rockstar - he on the stage) and she gets attracted by Judas with his bad boy look. the scene with the lipstick-pistol symbolizes how she kissed him (or maybe even more) and right after that she falls to her knees begging Jesus for forgiveness and he of course forgives her (kiss on her forehead).

wildconnetta 7th May 2011 09:04 AM

That video is so beautiful (but nothing beats Paparazzi).
My Mom says it's blasphemous.

Taru86 7th May 2011 07:21 PM

I love the video for Judas!! I wasn't really sure what to expect, and didn't have too high hopes for it, as I wasn't really impressed with her last 3 videos. But Judas is pure gold to me!! I like almost everything about the video, and Gaga looks stunning throughout the entire thing! The only part I kind of don't like is near the end when the music abruptly stop (when Gaga is in the tub), that part just catches me off gaurd every time I watch the video (and kind of interupts the flow of the video for me).

The song Judas has gotten me soo pumped for the album!! I absolutely can't wait!!!

Mirai Noah 7th May 2011 08:49 PM

The video was better than I expected! :)

ren'ai 8th May 2011 04:50 AM

I loved the video and the song of course! It's great when she's not being so OTT

jbrat2219 8th May 2011 05:14 AM

Watching her HBO special right now! So far so great. :luv2

yabieru 8th May 2011 01:21 PM

I don't like they cut all the interludes that were amazing (including the intro) I hope she releases a DVD with the full concert.

fuawas 8th May 2011 02:03 PM

Do you guys know if there's a torrent of the special or smth? I'm searching for links but I can't find them :(

U-GO-BOY 8th May 2011 02:37 PM

^ nah I think there'll be one in maybe 2-3 hours..

milky_way 8th May 2011 03:08 PM

After watching her HBO special, I really want You and I in HQ like right now :D

Minttulatte 8th May 2011 04:10 PM

I'm so excited that Monster Ball Tour will be shown on finnish TV tomorrow and later on Friday as well. I can't watch it tomorrow so I'll go home and watch it on Friday night. I gotta wait for a week D:

Anyhoo, Judas PV = :luv2

Her best PV since Paparazzi. <3

Taru86 8th May 2011 06:02 PM

I'm sad that I don't have HBO, so I wasn't able to watch the concert. But it's kind of ok because I saw the Monster Ball live back in July. Just really really hope it gets released on DVD!!

jbrat2219 9th May 2011 02:03 AM

This is my first time viewing a Western concert in full so I'm not use to them but... is it common for artists to talk so damn much during the show? Outside of her random story-telling, I liked the concert. I think I've been watching too many Japanese concerts...

adantatu2 9th May 2011 03:52 AM

Judas PV (PV or music video, whatever) is good!!
She looks great, and pretty i guess.
but her cactus outfit is so random, is weird and bad.

usually western artists talk as much as japanese ones...

jbrat2219 9th May 2011 06:12 PM

I've never seen them talk after each song though. One big talk section is one thing, talking after each and every song is another.

THE EDGE OF GLORY IS HERE!

PRAISE THE HEAVENS



But it isn't on iTunes yet. :(

wildconnetta 9th May 2011 09:04 PM

WHERE THE FRICK IS THE EDGE OF GLORY ON ITUNES? THERE IS THE COUNTDOWN TO BORN THIS WAY ON THE HOMEPAGE BUT THE EDGE OF GLORY ISN'T RELEASED YET ON ITUNES ZOMG I WANT IT SO BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD

Minttulatte 9th May 2011 09:18 PM

I decided I will listen all the new songs from the album when it's possible. Of course, it's pretty hard but I can make it. Release date's not that far anyway. :)

yabieru 9th May 2011 09:22 PM

OMG I'm on the edge of glory with that song!! It's too amazing for being real *__*

Mirrorcle Monster 9th May 2011 09:35 PM

So epic, love the edge of glory!

fuawas 9th May 2011 09:55 PM

The Edge of Glory is orgasmic, freakingly AWESOME. I LOVE IT.
Best song released from Born This Way, IMO. This change of style is so great ._.

Yum!Fruit_Salad! 9th May 2011 10:17 PM

Love The Edge of Glory. I need to have the album NOW!

@jbrat, maybe not after every song but after every 3-4 songs is pretty common.

zellyx 9th May 2011 10:28 PM

I like Edge of Glory, Btw, and Judas!!!

SURREAL__RAINBOW 9th May 2011 10:56 PM

The Edge of Glory sounds nice :)

Jwiz 9th May 2011 11:17 PM

milky_way 10th May 2011 12:03 AM

Edge of Glory is sooooo goood :heart

ストロボ・EdGE 10th May 2011 12:33 AM

Edge of Glory is kind of boring for me.

tokyoxjapanxfan 10th May 2011 12:37 AM

edge of glory is much more of my style :) thank god, haha.

freedreamer 10th May 2011 12:43 AM

Sounds really amazing!!! It's so uplifting and...normal HAHAHHA. Good ol' days of pop with a modern sound :)
electro but that saxophone sound just made it SO DIFFERENT and fresh :)
GaGa actually has this...jazzy thing going on..i sorta feel it..esp when she plays the piano for BTW and YOU & I
I can totally expect some brilliant acoustic covers :P

pommy48 10th May 2011 02:05 AM

Hmm the song is kinda okay for me~ It feels so...generic?
I keep on thinking about Celine Dion though lol

koumori 10th May 2011 02:10 AM

Her voice sounds clear and strong in this song, but it's nothing too special to me. Maybe it's a grower.

Paparazzi 10th May 2011 03:03 AM

I love "Edge Of Glory"

Something that really bothers me: "You & I"

It should be "You & Me"

tokyoxjapanxfan 10th May 2011 03:27 AM

"You & I will go to the store"

"You & Me will go to the store"

I believe it's "I", because if you remove the "You &", it would be "Me will go to the store" as opposed to "I will go to the store."

Right?

I prefer Judas and BTW :\ I think Edge of glory is kinda boring but maybe it'll grow on me

JackieRos 10th May 2011 05:03 PM

You and me
You and I

You and me sounds more right than You and I

eh both are right I think

Right?

To be grammatically correct it's "You and I", but people have become accustomed to saying "You and me". Both are correct in general terms.

AyuHamasaki01 10th May 2011 05:37 PM

Edge of Glory is a nice song, nothing special though.

Meh, it's not the crack that was promised. But it's kind of okay.

If BTW (song) was a blunt, and the rest of the album was going to be cocaine like she said, than Edge of Glory is just like, a cheap cigarette.

Mirai Noah 10th May 2011 06:10 PM

I like The Edge of Glory because it reminds me of older music. Especially that saxophone solo. :D But I get that that's not everyone's cup of tea. :yes

bondingo 10th May 2011 06:11 PM

^ You think the sax solo sounds like her older music? I don't at all. The rest maybe (as in her less than great old songs).

Agreed.

TeamAyu2004 10th May 2011 06:27 PM

^ I think, speaking as grammar, either is fine, but it depends on the rest of the sentience. It its just a song title, I think it was to be You and I. (but of course it could be you and me because people talk that way)

As for the song, The Edge of Glory.. it is amazing! SOOOO much better then Judas, which is just a bad, really bad song...

On par with born this way!

AyUta 10th May 2011 07:06 PM

EOG is so good :shimmy

isthisLOL? 10th May 2011 08:32 PM

Noone mentioned that Edge of Glory in parts sounds exactly like Cher's "Song for the Lonely"? The beginning of the chorus is nearly identical.

butterfly_ayu 11th May 2011 12:03 AM

Edge of Glory isn't very much special to me either >.< it's a nice song though. I hope the album tracks will be good, because none of the singles had "wow-ed" me so far.

NintendoHTF1242 11th May 2011 04:29 AM

Too lazy to listen to "The Edge of Glory" + waiting for the full album before listening to any other track. Born This Way and Judas both grew on me, and now I think they're both fantastic songs. So I hope this album is either like that or just amazing right off-the-bat. I'm so excited <3

MemorialAddress 11th May 2011 04:45 AM

Edge of Glory has really lame generic lyrics IMO :/ I don't like it at all and can't ever see myself liking it.
But seeing as I'm so ****ing in love with Judas, I still have hope for the rest of the album!

ストロボ・EdGE 11th May 2011 05:20 AM

Judas has only been on the Billboard Hot 100 for 3 weeks and it's already at #20...

Week 1 - #10
Week 2 - #12

Kinda lackluster for Gaga.

In comparison, BTW is on its 12th week and still beating Judas at #16 this week.

tokyoxjapanxfan 11th May 2011 09:49 AM

Well, there is such a thing as being too weird, especially for radio play, which is what I find Judas to be. But that's just me, haha.

U-GO-BOY 11th May 2011 12:49 PM

I think EoG will be better on the charts than Judas..

just look at the iTunes position:
#1 Canada
#1 USA
#1 Australia
#1 Spain
#1 France
#1 Greece
#1 New Zealand
#1 Italy
#1 Mexico
#1 Greece
#1 Portugal

Have you actually listened to both melodies? They are even phonetically very similar. And no, I am not screaming PLAGIARISM, just pointing out that a part of the melodies is highly similar(while Born This Way should have been promoted as remixed cover with rewritten lyrics)

kotora 11th May 2011 05:21 PM

I think EoG is a nice song for the ending of the album, where is the song going to be in the album Born This Way - the last track of the album. Not too crazy yet crazy.

I'm not sure what it is. I don't know if it's the controversy with the Catholic Church or parents or if people simply don't like it.

I thought Born This Way was too gospel-anthem-y to be popular but it ended up being huge. I guess you really never know.

Suteisi 11th May 2011 06:37 PM

I have to agree with you here.

Usually I'm all over it when she releases a song, but this time I just wanna wait for the album to come out. I do have high hopes for it though...especially considering the fact that I loved her first two albums. Don't let me down Gaga!

JackieRos 12th May 2011 12:51 AM

FB is widely used around the country I think it's a fantastic way to advertise yourself :yes...I guess maybe the method in which she's doing it's kind of odd, but when has Gaga ever been 'normal'? lol

TeamAyu2004 12th May 2011 01:11 AM

I think it is a "fail" because going to farmville is something of a sellout??
I guess i get it, but Gaga doesnt make profound music.. she has always been about the flash and what not...
I dont understand the whole sellout in general... people want to make music, it doesnt matter how or what...

JackieRos 12th May 2011 01:35 AM

FarmVille sucks

NintendoHTF1242 12th May 2011 02:28 AM

Just because it sucks, does not mean it's ultra popular. This is in the company's eyes, a great promotional tool. Even if you don't like it, they're going to go through with it. Deal with it.

I cannot ever reach the level I want to go in Farmville, but when gagaville exists, it is possible.

I want to hear the song and farm the blackberry, move my cows, and pick up the eggs from my chicks.

I said to my boyfriend earlier this year that I was definitely buying the album, but I'm not sure that album cover...well. I might buy it, if I hear more songs I like.

Paparazzi 13th May 2011 07:23 PM

No guys - it should be "You & Me"

To figure out whether or not to use "You & I" or "You & Me", the rule is to say the sentence twice taking out "You &"

for example,

"You & I contracted herpes" vs. "You & Me contracted herpes"
-- "I contracted herpes" vs. "Me contracted herpes"
obviously in this example, "I contracted herpes" is the correct form.

In Lady GaGa's song, it is

"There's something about You & I" vs. "There's something about You & Me"
-- "There's something about I" vs. "There's something about Me."
So clearly, the correct form is, "There's something about Me."

Put the "You &" back in, and you simple get "There's something about You & Me."

That being said, Lady GaGa is wrong and needs to take an English class.

If you don't believe me, google it.

TeamAyu2004 13th May 2011 07:38 PM

^ this is what I was saying when you have to look at the rest of the sentence!
But when it comes to prose and music, I think anything is correct! lol

I certainly don't think she needs to take an English class :laugh...from what I understand she's actually quite intelligent. But that's beside the point...

So what if she made a small grammatical mistake? Oh well no one is perfect :shrug...

Seriously. At least the woman isn't confusing "there", "their", and "they're" or "your" and "you're". Then there'd be a problem.

And I didn't know the context either, hence why I thought it was "You & I". But whatever; the song's already been given a name and there's nothing we can do about it, correct usage or not.

It really does depend on how you talk :shrug If you're going back to the basic rules, then it all depends on context. In the context of a song title itself, it really doesn't matter. The amount of titles in Asia that are just pure Engrish...:laugh I don't really care.

And I agree that Gaga doesn't need to "take an English class". I'm sure she's not the only one that's not looked too much into grammar rules when naming something.

Judas isn't recieving any radio airplay, maybe because of the controversial title/story
