I can't watch the video on this computer sadly, but I looked up the lyrics. I think Gaga has said that she's a committed Catholic on a couple occasions. Based on that, I think the song probably has a deeper meaning that what's on the surface.

Perhaps she's saying that in the long run Jesus is her virtue but she laments that because of her sinful nature, Judas is the one she instead finds herself clinging to. Or something like that. :P

That's what I took from it too. As sinners we tend to gravitate to sin and in her song she seems to be gravitating toward the ultimate sin. Although I have a hard time thinking of Lady Gaga as a committed Catholic, I don't know what's in her heart so what do I know. I do like her as an artist though.

I'm struggling to work out how this 'Gaga' character has managed to sell a single record or cd. But then that goes for a whole host of nonsense we're calling music these days. Seems the more bizarre the 'artist' the more 'successful' they are. But perhaps I'm missing something pretty amazing here...

Stay away from her music and pray for her true conversion to Christ . Next, would a true blood brought Christian really act, dress, be so sexual, as she does.

She's actually a very talented musician independent of all the fluff.

Her real name is Stefani Germanotta and she was a student at New York University.

This is performance she gave just singing and sitting at the piano.

I like some of her stuff and can do without other of it.

Because that's what sells, it's business.

I would presume she's a sinner like most of us.
