I love the song except for the Judas Juda-a-a, Judas Juda-a-a parts. I sort of get the Bad Romance comparisons but I think it's really just because she says "Gaga" and people automatically think "Rah rah ah ah Gaga Oh la la". It's just funny that some people are upset about it being similar to ONE OF HER OWN SONGS. I love the single art and can't wait to see the album cover in 14 minutes!

My jaw dropped, then I went what the gently caress, then I kinda laughed at it.

Seriously, what the gently caress. I get she wants to go to her inspiration in rock and their do-it-yourself theme but anybody can make a album cover 100x better than that.

Edit: There needs to be a #FireNickKnight hashtag going on twitter. First the BTW video and now this.

People weren't getting the joke with her claiming she was born with those spikes under her skin, so she took it to the next level. She's going to start doing interviews claiming that she was born a motorcycle, with a completely straight face of course.

If she wants to be a bike, well, that's okay. 'Cause she was born, she was born, she was born that way.



I have to admit, I thought the cover was pretty funny. Gaga just loves dicking with everyone, I think.

I actually like MIA's covers, and even I think that's loving horrible. It's a bad photoshop with circa-1997 WordArt.

Got home today from work to listen to Judas and discovered it was amazing. And hey, album cover in 15 minutes! Cool!

And then that...thing popped up. This poo poo can't be real.

Judas is sick as hell though. I was probably at my highest point of Gaga-fanboy for about the month after Fame Monster came out and kind of dropped off after that. BTW didn't really blow my mind and I still don't quite love it. Judas is one of the best songs I've ever heard from her though.

Most things in the world aren't black, aren't white, aren't wrong, aren't right, but most of everything is just different.


I...I think I'll be sticking with the Born This Way single cover when assigning album art for mp3 player purposes.

The sad thing is that I can actually see that concept working well...if it looked like there was more effort put into the cover than "photoshop Gaga's head & arm onto a motorcycle, add WordArt, add a glinting light effect to the WordArt, and call it a day".

You lookin' at me? Don't.

I can't say that I like the album art that was released tonight but I read somewhere that they had heard a rumor that this picture below was going to be the official artwork. I kind of dig the rumored one. A bit more of what I expect from Gaga.



There's also some descriptions of a few songs on the album.

http://attn2detail.blogspot.com/201...gagas-born.html

Edit: After looking at this one more, I'm not even sure if that is Lady Gaga in that picture. It's hard to tell. What ever it is, it's much better than Transformer Motorcycle Gaga.

It took a second for the reaction and then there were cheers. I live in gay mecca though so they pretty much ate up everything that she did.

Everything about the show was incredible, all the way down to the crowd who were nice enough to see that my girlfriend is 5'1 and couldn't see. They helped us move up close

Bonus pic.

Lady Gaga was pissed Judas was leaked early, she was betrayed. This album cover is her betrayal to us, with the real cover coming April 19th, exactly three days later.

I truly hope this scenario is true.

I hope so too. I mean it's fun in a "wow this is a horrible photoshop" way but not as an album cover for a highly anticipated album.

edit: Also her name isn't on it, do you think her record label would let her do that? I dunno, it screams fake to me, I think she's punking us.

second edit: I was chatting online about it, and we came to the conclusion maybe it's a deliberate attempt at being awful to further the whole "born this way" theme (yeah i know im ugly but i was born this way)... (this doesn't make it a good cover, but I'm really trying to figure out WHY this awful art is being used in her frame of mind)

Not only am I not too happy with Judas (except for the breakdown), that album cover is bad. Really bad. She did everything right with The Fame Monster, and so far I'm not even convinced that I want to buy Born This Way .

EDIT: I think I could live with the picture itself, but that font is just ghastly.

Haha, this is great.

I could probably enjoy the artwork a lot more in a "hilarious", or even just normal, way if it wasn't for that absolutely loving god awful text. I may be a type-nerd for this but it annoys me how someone so big can get text like that on an album artwork. I'll probably just use something else for the art on my mp3, it's not like she hasn't given us any interesting pictures to use in the past.

This is all, of course, provided assuming this is the real artwork.

As for Judas, I'm not sure what to think. It's pretty good, and I certainly like it more on first impressions than BTW (which I now love), but it just doesn't sound that amazingly to me. What I really can't wait to hear is You and I.

Edit:
Woah, I just heard Judas on BBC Radio 1. I'm only 18 and the change of pace in the world is already staggering to me . It was only heard for the first time hours ago!

I really don't like it but it's easy enough to just replace album art on itunes so it's not a big deal. There are tons of alternatives.

E: Oh yeah Judas is awesome. I'm not blown away by the first half of the chorus I guess but the song is really good overall
