I like it, but that's it. I don't see myself putting the song in repeat during months. I didn't with Born this Way either. I still play all the songs on The Fame Monster regularly, I don't think it will happen with these 2 singles. Liked it more than Born This Way.
 
Not doing it for me in the slightest. It doesn't make me wince like Born This Way did, but it's still not exactly what I'd consider good. It's a shame, I really loved The Fame Monster.

Generic Dance Track #12 fails to impress me.

For me it will never get better than THIS from GAGA.

I've never been a fan of Gaga's music, but I've always admired her honesty and image. This Disco Heaven number is actually the first song of hers that I like for the music alone, and not for the Gaga-ness of it all. Can't believe I'm only just now hearing it, thanks! :-)

EDIT: I never really heard of Gaga until Fame Monster, so I only heard the big hit singles from her original album. Listening to all of The Fame-era stuff on YouTube now, and I'm really impressed. So melody-driven and just pure music without pretense. I love Disco Heaven and Rock Show! Which album were these songs on?

very forgettable song. If gaga name was not attached to the song no body would have even noticed it.

Basically how I feel about it. This isn't execrable like "Born This Way," instead it's completely routine and unmemorable. Pop music is rarely unique and fresh, but "Judas" doesn't even register; there's no hook, nothing to trigger excitement about hearing it again. Gaga's problem isn't that she's suddenly become worse at what she does, it's that she's essentially branded herself into a corner and seems to be dissolving into a homogeneous pool of pop-slop.
 
Some insipid gay guy on tv is trying to hype this song up; both the tv presenters rolled their eyes.

Pretty much how I feel about Madonna-lite.
 
Not bad, however I think I still favor Born This Way over Judas. Maybe because it carries a deeper meaning too me, like Bad Romance over say Paparazzi or Poker Face. All good songs, but sometimes a song will speak to you on a deeper level and make no sense to anyone else.
 
This song is blah, and I think she's getting a bit too into herself with the symbolism and how deep she thinks she is and is now crossing into the realm of cliche.

Also, I can't help but be annoyed that, after all this hype, we get a song that follows the EXACT SAME FORMULA that "Bad Romance" did. From the "oooh Ohhhh Ohhhhh"s in the beginning that transition into her repeating some series of sounds that ends with her saying "Gaga!" to the sing-songy chorus, this song is basically the framework of "Bad Romance" with a new skin on it.

So far Gaga's new era hasn't been terrible, but she's yet to genuinely impress...
 
I thought the song was kind of okay, but as others have mentioned it felt way to formulaic and was just way overhyped.

I re listened to Dance in the Dark and Future Love afterwards and its hard not to feel like Gaga peaked already and we're in a decline.

Ha, I was actually thinking if it was possible to put the Bad Romance vocals on Judas instrumentals, and the other way around. If it can be done, it'll happen sooner than later. Simply by listening to both songs, it seems like it'd be easy. And if it really is just the exact same song structure, that's pretty damn lazy song writing/producing.
 
I want the video now, I need a dance routine for this song

There is a section of it that I dont like, but I'm still in love with Judas baby.
 
parts of it are really barren, like she's singing in an empty warehouse. LOL most noteworthy part of the song is the catchy 'Judas Juda-a-a, Judas Juda-a-a, Judas Juda-a-a, Judas GaGa' bit, by far.
 
Listening to her Fame-era stuff on YouTube somehow led me to her demo stuff from ages ago. Wow, this stuff is crazy good - I'd love for her to release a non-electropop album!

Out of Control

Future Love

I feel bad saying that I want this Gaga back because I only became a fan today :-(
 
I like it, but I hope all her songs aren't going to have this retro feel. I get that she probably wants to do different stuff, particularly after her "expansion pack."

The first verse is like her singing while holding her nose. Sounds really hollow.
 
Finally got a chance to listen to it. First impressions are that it's definitely a step up from Born This Way, but not quite up to par with Bad Romance and Poker Face.

Song definitely restored my (slightly) waning faith in GaGa, and makes me anticipate the full album all over again.

I love most of it - the bridge part with her higher voice overlaid over her speaking voice is great - the chorus is the only part I don't love, it's bit too shiny and sweet for me. Needs to be harder edged. The "bring him down/a king with no crown" bit is what I keep going back to.

Heh, that bit reminded me of Rihanna's voice.
 
completely off topic, but has anyone noticed Katy Perry's ET is a compete rip off of tatu's "all the things she said"?

It's not even subtle.

Interesting analysis. I myself wouldn't commit to all that before the full Born This Way album is released and we've had a chance to see how it's received by the public, and how it sells, and how Gaga tweaks the material as she's known to do.

One of the main things that sets Lady Gaga apart from her peers in the pop business is that she treats music as the malleable thing that it is, even while she's entangled in a corporate apparatus arrayed toward the production of neatly packaged disposable products. Gaga doesn't just release the obligatory house remixes for her first few singles and call it a day. No, she changes the melodies, tosses in new lyrics, and kicks down the boundaries between genres with major revisions of all her main tracks. My favorite example of this process is her stripped down piano-backed live performances. Gaga rolls up her sleeves and mud wrestles those pop songs right up there on stage, and somehow that mad tangle of dulcet notes and high heels assumes its own chimeric geometry and simply works. The latest musical cocktail in this vein: Born This Way (Country Road Version), which I much prefer to the original.

I think that if Gaga's fourth album is middling, if it fails to yield another Paparazzi or Bad Romance, then your point will be borne out. It certainly strikes me as a credible prediction of where she might be headed. But to dismiss her this early in her career, before she's even launched her first serious experiment, before her image is fully crystallized? More than a little premature, I say.
 
Song is okay, might be a grower. I really used to like gaga, but now people act like she's the second coming of jesus and hype her singles to death. BTW was disappointing . I really want the old gaga back. Be weird, but tame it down a bit. Its getting old. Will see how video turns out and if she finds any new way to shock us.
 
She should really just stick to making awesome/catchy/club banging pop music instead of trying to be artistic. Or at least save that for the end of your career when you need to reinvent yourself to stay relevant or whatever
 
Im not a fan of Bad Romance, Poker Face, Or Paparazzi - they're always used as the "high points" she needs to be hitting. Telephone ftw.

Also, I totally called it. Judas is growing on me the same way Born This Way did. I'm not quite at the stage where I'd call it better than average (relative to the standard set by The Fame Monster), but I like it more than I did when I'd heard it only once.
 
Not as good as the best Fame Monster stuff, but a big step up from Born This Way. Song feels pretty messy, but the chorus is nice.
 
I'm not usually too bothered about the quality of lyrics in a song, but I really don't like them in this one. There's something about judas constantly being repeated that is unpleasant. I think its the sharpness of it.

lol if the last couple of videos have taught us anything is that we shouldn't be guessing what's going to happen.


I'm still at GOOD level with Judas. It hasn't grown on me like Born This Way started doing shortly after listening to it for the first time.

Obviously still incredibly hyped for Born This Way album and I do think people are putting The Fame Monster on a Wind Waker-esque pedestal (meaning: I don't know where the fuck all this praise was one year and a half ago; note that I adore TFM though). That being said, the full songs revealed so far have definitely not blown out my expectations like Britney's Femme Fatale did (too bad most everything else to do with Britney this era has been underwhelming).

My Queens are still so far ahead of the other vapid ilk that it's not even amusing though.
 
It’s nothing amazing and it’s certainly no ‘bad romance’ but the more I listen to it the better it gets.

At the moment I’d say that it’s better than ‘born this way’ but it's still far from Gaga’s best work.....

Gurl, I have no idea what you're talking about. I saw the space vagina coming at least two years ago, for realsies.

GURL, I too was falling asleep as Gaga excreted a machine gun from her sanguinary vaginal canal.

Been there done that.
