Blue Jeans 3,815 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 The other day i was having a conversation with my friend whom i havent been with a long time, and as music lovers we were discussing about current music, and then she said: I used to love Gaga, but then Judas happenned, that song is awful" she continued by telling me that shock value only gets you so far, and that after Judas nobody really cared about Gaga, she didnt even Know ARTPOP existed Its not the first time someone told me she went too far with Judas, because regular people don't look into lyrics like fans, they just see: oh this b---h is in love with the one who betrayed Jesus, illuminati blabla bla My question: was it a mistake to make Judas a single ? Destiny is for losers. It’s just a stupid excuse to wait for things to happen instead of making them happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromatica 7,030 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I think it's funny how she would release that after such a huge self-acceptance anthem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SychosSoChic 9,995 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Yes. I knew it was a mistake the second she announced it :cry: But I never knew just how big a mistake it was until I saw how it affected her popularity, even years later Life ain't Hollywood for any one of us.

idldte 2 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Lady Gaga herself after the BTW era ended said she didn't want Judas as a single. She said she wanted the singles to be: "btw, scheibe, teog, mtn" something like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc 4,772 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Biggest mistake in her career so far. So much backlash from that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
idldte 2 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 But I never knew just how big a mistake it was until I saw how it affected her popularity, even years later I don't think that's what damaged her career. The quality of her work just isn't as good was it was. She's still a good artist, but she was an absolutely incredible artist in 2010. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
popper 3 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Some people can't handle the slayage of Judas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariano 958 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Well maybe it was a mistake, but she didn't get much backlash in Europe/Asia etc. i think it was just in the USA ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batwings 12,694 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 The lyrics are obviously metaphorical, so I'm surprised that so many people take issue with the song. Also, I think it's mostly just the fans who think that Judas somehow affected her popularity. Hell, most members of the GP probably don't even know the song exists since it was sandwiched in between Born This Way and The Edge of Glory which were much more popular. People will casually reference "all the backlash," but I honestly never saw any. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Professor 1,060 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Funny. I know a friend who hated BTW and said that Judas was the only good song from it (she's part of the GP btw not a fan) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PopBitch 1,218 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 All the people I know that lost interest didn't blame Judas in particular. They just basically said her music isn't as good anymore. One said he got sick of her preachiness. Judas is a good song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pity Party 743 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 "Judas is an awful song" Your friend has no idea what she's talking about. "After Judas nobody really cared about Gaga"? I guess she forgot about TEOG.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
