Quick Critique – “Judas” music video by Lady GaGa
On this Cinco de Mayo, Lady GaGa releases another music video fraught with Christian/Catholic themes and imagery. “Judas” is a good song. The video is ho-hum: it’s nothing new.
Here are the things in the video we’ve seen from GaGa before:
What: GaGa dances in bikini with posse
Videos where we’ve seen it before: Telephone, Born This Way, Alejandro
What: GaGa looks longingly into camera for close-up
Videos where we’ve seen it before: Alejandro, Born This Way (to name just two)
What: Red, white, and blue with bandana outfit
Videos where we’ve seen it before: Telephone
What: GaGa in Catholic clergy clothes
Videos where we’ve seen it before: Alejandro
What: GaGa in bathtub
Videos where we’ve seen it before: Bad Romance
How many times does GaGa have to get her Madonna on before she branches out beyond the Catholic themes?

Don’t be so hard on her, I think she is lovely what ever she does. And how many other artists do you know that don’t do the same thing in different videos?
I like Lady GaGa a lot–and I think the Born This Way album was pretty close to genius. But this wouldn’t be a very interesting blog if I just sang her praises to the heavens.
