Very true. People are quick to judge because of her immense popularity. GaGa enjoys her work and she just wants to make her fans happy. I'm a happy fan! I love her music, fashion, and the entire world she has created for her fans. Not everyone understands her, but that's just how it goes. I'll never understand why people would love someone like Lil Wayne, but that doesn't mean I don't respect him for doing his own thing.

I'm glad the members of this forum offer up their mature opinions instead of coming across as hateful. One thing that really gets to me is when people write comments on YouTube talking about how much that hate her guts and wishing she was dead. I think that's just plain sick.

Is everything on this album a repeat or ripoff? Man, her creativity went out the door fast.

My wife pre-ordered the album.......sooooooooooooo I'll be hearing it one way or the other. We'll see if it's the Fame/fame Monster part 9000. Cause she has the first to so i know every re-treaded note. I do hope there's some material that branches out.....I do. Otherwise 3 albums in, and she'll be branded in my eyes, a 1 trick pony. We shall see.

This song leaves me so much more unimpressed! And I was holding out some hope after hearing the dreck that is "Born This Way" (don't even get me started). From the songs I've heard so far, she is going to fall a little off her pedeatal with this album. Sure it will be an instant hit, but after the glitter fades, this is worrisome. Judas is totally recycled GaGa fast food crap with lots of syrup and sprinkles, as well as the kitchen sink thrown in to distract. It's looking like LG peaked with the Fame Monster

I was listening to The Fame and The Fame Monster this morning and I've come to think that this new album, really isn't that recycled.

It has a complete different sound than her last two albums. I mean, compare this stuff to Paparazzi, Telephone, Eh Eh (nothing else I can say), and if you wanna shy away from the singles, it doesn't sound anything like Monster or Dance in the Dark, boys boys boys or Glitter and Grease.

I really like the sound of this new album, and I'm really looking forward to its release. Although, I am much more excited for Stevie's new album

Exactly. The "sound" of this new music is just The Fame or TFM with more heavy handed, amplified, over processed and over produced rubbish, with the same old melody lines and nothing new or interesting to say. She has jumped the shark. I'm sure her young teen to twentysomething audience will eat this crap up like Taco Bell's artificially enhanced ground beef grande combos. ick.

That would be me as well.

Chris and Brian, I'm happy that you enjoy it, I truly am .Personally, I just had higher hopes that LG could deliver some integral songwriting, something more organically artistic instead of relying too heavily on studio trickery and dense european dance music. It's all subjective and perhaps the best is yet to come from the album. But I'm worried, just not impressed with these songs. Born This Way in particular was a complete let down to me, I cannot fathom that song for one second, and Judas is only slightly better

I'm currently listening to The fame/Monster. No denying Their fun pop records, but more of the same is enough to rot my teeth The girl can write hooks like no tomorrow though.

I am indifferent when it comes to Lady Gaga. She is definitely interesting and artistic, but she just never captures me. In fact, I never gave her any mind until I saw her 2009 VMA performance, which caught my attention. But that was the only thing she ever did that really captivated me. Judas and Born This Way are just meh to me. Granted I don't listen to much pop/dance music to begin with, but lyrically and musically I just don't get it. But that is just me.

I'm almost 40, and while Gaga annoyed me thoroughly in the beginning (Madonna 2.0), I've grown to like and appreciate her music and the message she's putting out to her fans about equality and opportunity. I love Born This Way - though I can sing Express Yourself along to it - but this Judas track is just meh.

I'm sure that after I hear it 758 times that I'll change my tune, but right now I don't even hear a song in there; it just sounds like a bunch of automated remix-beats thrown together over some vocals.

Maybe her next single will grab me, but Judas doesn't.
