Lady Gaga Judas

[GoldDustOrphan]

The choice of singles, so far, is questionable. I'm not a fan of "Born This Way," but I understand why it's the lead single. She's been talking about this particular song and its message for over a year, promising her younger fans that she was writing an anthem just for them.

It did debut at #1 (only 19 songs in Billboard history have debuted at #1) and stayed there for 6 weeks. According to Billboard, "Judas" just might debut in the #1 spot based on just two days of sales and radio play. ( It was leaked, forcing Interscope to send it to iTunes early.) If not #1, it will arrive in the #2 spot.

I can hear the hook in "Judas" but overall the song doesn't grab me.

She has dozens of vastly superior, unreleased songs - many just voice and piano/keyboards - and I hope she finds an outlet for those.

Interestingly, she has re-recorded "Born The Way" as a country/rock song ("The Country Road Version") which is a better vehicle for her voice and doesn't recall "Express Yourself" in the slightest. Another song on the new album is the ballad "You and I," which she has performed live. She brought in Mutt Lange (who co-wrote/produced all of Def Leppard and Shania Twain's biggest) to produce the album version. Clarence Clemmons (Sax player from the E Street Band) plays on two or three songs, which he said are rock songs with a different vibe than the first two singles.

Oh, don't know if this has made its way around: Stevie talking about meeting Lady Gaga, who said that she combats writers block by thinking: "What would Stevie Do?"

I'm going to assume they were introduced by the one man they have in common: Jimmy Iovine.
