In what way was the Judas video not watchable?

Video has given the song a small boost so far in the US.

I haven't seen any other comments so i don't mean to echo what others have said

 

But oh my god, what a boring cheap video. You expect that from a newbie artist where the label don't spent too much money on the artist just yet

 

An amazing song with high lifting lyrics and they have her on a fake street dancing around. For Gaga, this is truly poor and not like her at all. You can't say money is no object when it comes to her.

 

Very disappointed. The worst video of her career.

Glad I'm not a stan because there's no way I could conceivably justify that. I fell asleep. It wouldn't be so bad if you didn't know that it probably cost a ridiculous amount of money to make.

 

Fair dues to her for making a 'simple video' but meaninglessly prancing around a street set for 5 and a half minutes isn't really what anybody was after. Simple could be done a lot more effectively and in a more relevant setting for probably a quarter of the budget.

 

I love the song but I'm still a bit shocked at how everything's turned out for her this era. She was always going to face a certain degree of backlash and certainly overhype coming off the back of the perfection of Bad Romance and The Fame Monster but even I'm surprised that the singles or videos have been this weak in comparison. Hopefully it's not the signal that she was a 1.5 album wonder because she's such a talent, the Monster Ball tour was one of the best spectacles I've seen in my life - thoroughly amazing. Rihanna's come back stronger than ever with Loud after a commercially sub-par era (even though I adore Rated R) and superstar's should be able to do that. It's not even that the album itself isn't strong because it really is great and packed full of hits and innovation, but Born This Way, Judas and these streams of pretentious and/or directionless videos (imo) are not convincing anybody that this is the case. Whereas Bad Romance/Telephone were the perfect contrast to each other, amazing pop and had stunning videos (still pretentious but far more effective) hence sold the album with ease.

This is just utter crap. which is a shame as its by far the best song from the album. She didn't even seem like she was enjoying her self and the lip syncing to the track was terrible she seemed out of time. The word boring doesn't do it justice.

 

And as for people talking about Britney's Gimme More. At least that was entertaining (for the wrong reasons yes) but at least it didn't send you to sleep.

It's hardly atrocious, but I agree that she could have produced something a lot stronger given the inevitably gargantuan budget. Perhaps crucially from a commercial point of view, TV will lap it up because it's so simple.

Just watched the Video. Its $h!t. Very Disapointed

I really don't like her hair in this video...It would have been nice to have had some sort of story to this beautiful song.

Okay, this is probably the most mixed opinion I've had EVER.

I want to love the video, I don't.

I think she was going for a 'simple yet effective' video - But this is just simple and boring.

Remember she hyped up Judas as her ''best video she's ever done'' - She never really hyped this - I can see why :/

 

But, anyone notcie in the video (towards the end) how she's actually smiling, laughing and dancing on her own. When was the last time we seen her doing all 3 of these in a video? :/ She actually enjoyed herslef when making this video (I'm sure she enjoyed the rest but we as the viewer can see it here) and isn't that what music is about? Making people happy and enjoying yourself.

 

Overall, I am disappointed in this video but it doesn't make me love or hate this song anymore than I did before the video. Also, I would have prefered if she jumped off the top of the building in the end. Would've made it more emotional.

 

Jeezo, if I'd wanted to watch some woman dressed like a prostitute and dance about like a $l*t, I would have gone to any street corner in Glasgow.

Video is a total pile of crap.

Surely they are going to reshoot the entire video? She can't honestly put that out? :lol: GOD, this song was meant to be a triumphant return to form after Judas underperforming

I know - where did the fishy theme go ? :huh:

It's so frustrating reading about the planned concept that was scrapped. I thought there might have been budget issues but clearly not because the sets were built and the dancers were hired. Is she really that deluded to think people would be happy and satisfied to watch over 5 minutes of just her? :huh:

To compare it to the levels of 'Gimme More' is kinda sad... considering Britney was in the midst of one of the biggest celebrity mental breakdowns in the history of pop culture. Atleast it kind of fit into the theme of people wanting MORE, and the purple colors were pretty.

So are you saying the Gimme More video was BETTER?

 

I wouldn't argue with that.

This video is probably her worst to date, though nice to see for once she's not going over the top. At least the song has already sold a fair bit so not much more damage can be done, it's already peaked at 6. The song definitely makes the video more bearable.

I had a feeling this video would be kinda rubbish after it was so quickly announced as third single on the back of it doing so well as a promotional track. It looks as if they were GOING to put a reasonable amount of effort in still, but it's fallen by the wayside regardless. It's not the worst video I've ever seen - it's just not entertaining in the slightest which means it fails at its main purpose. Without a doubt her worst and one of the worst (if not THE worst) I've seen this year from a big female artist.

The directors version better leak because I'm pretty sure, it's shot already but Gaga want to release and reshoot that crap version instead.
