Lady Gaga’s Judas Premiering On American Idol

LADY GAGA'S video for "Judas" will premiere on "American Idol" sometime next week.  That's interesting because "Idol" is a pretty family-friendly show, and "Judas" may be a fairly "controversial" video. There aren't a lot of details on the video, but we do know that Lady Gaga will be playing the Virgin Mary . . . and that alone is probably enough to freak some people out. The final "Judas" video has reportedly been "toned down" from its original concept, which was supposedly, quote, "too religiously charged."  But regardless of that, some religious groups have already denounced the song itself. For what it's worth, Lady Gaga's creative director Laurieann Gibson . . . who co-directed the video . . . says that she's religious, and she's cool with it.

She says, quote, "I will tell you now, first off, I'm Christian . . . and my career is evidence of God in my life.  And I think that most people are already thinking that Gaga and the blasphemy and they're premeditating the approach. And I think they'll be very shocked to find out how huge and groundbreaking the message is and how freeing the message is for all the right reasons.  And it's really going to shock the world."

Lady Gaga is going to be performing her new single, “Judas,” live on TV.  According to French Gaga website LadyGaga-Source.com, the pop star will be heading to The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Thursday. 

I guess we'll all see soon enough won't we? Does Gaga's potential portrayal as Mary offend you?
