You can't say Lady Gaga isn't provocative.
"Judas," the latest single from Grammy-winner and fashion icon has leaked onto the internet early, adding to the already heated debate about the song, and accompanying video's, alleged sacrilege.
The song and video are told from Mary Magdelene's perspective, with lyrics such as, "When he comes to me, I am ready/ I'll wash his feet with my hair if he needs/ Forgive him when his tongue lies through his brain/ Even after three times, he betrays me/ I'll bring him down, a king with no crown..."
The suggestive lyrics have angered some, including The Catholic League, though, it should be noted, the organization hadn't heard the song or seen the preview clip of the video before issuing a complaint.
However, Gaga's creative director, Laurieann Gibson, said that they specifically worked to not offend the religious, amongst whom she counts herself.
"It went through several changes and late-night debates because at one point, there were two completely different "views and I was like, 'Listen, I don't want lightning to strike me! I believe in the gospel and I'm not going there,'" she told The Hollywood Reporter about the song and video. "And it was amazing because to have that conversation about salvation, peace and the search for the truth in a room of non-believers and believers, to me, that was saying God is active in a big way. And the place that it came to is surreal. We don't touch on things that we have no right touching upon, but the inspiration and the soul and idea that out of your oppression, your darkness, your Judas, you can come into the marvelous light. So it's about the inspiration and to never give up... We've created a new Jerusalem."
Gaga has certainly been unafraid of controversy; along with her stunt meat dress and Grammy egg, she's been a vocal advocate of gay rights, making speeches against Don't Ask, Don't Tell and pulling out of a promotional deal with Target after it was revealed that they made donations to vehemently anti-gay political candidates. She's also used religious imagery in her work before, notably in her concerts.
