ORIGINAL HIPSTER

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?
