\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another week, another burst of Lady Gaga news, and another burst of comments from the Lady Gaga lovers and haters<\/a>. \u00a0Happy Monday!<\/p>\n

First of all, she released the cover of her new album which is pictured above. \u00a0Yes, that is the real cover. \u00a0It’s a… Gagacycle? \u00a0It is so eye-catchingly ugly that it is hard to believe it is an actual album cover. \u00a0Is she trying to hint that she is going to be in the new Transformers movie? \u00a0I always thought “Born This Way” had a deep meaning, but apparently she is just trying to justify being born as half-motorcycle, half-human. \u00a0Yeah, I don’t get it either.<\/p>\n

Secondly, her new single “Judas” comes as a timely launch on Easter weekend, and you can hear it here<\/a>. \u00a0The video is evidently so offensive that it is angering Catholic groups who haven’t even seen it yet! \u00a0Man, that must be one offensive video! \u00a0As far as the song, well, I admit that I find it’s message confusing. \u00a0I listened and read through the lyrics a couple of times, and I’m no closer to understanding what she is trying to say. \u00a0Is she trying to make Judas more of a symphathetic character? \u00a0Is she saying that Judas is awesome? \u00a0Is she saying that Judas is an idiot? \u00a0I really don’t know, all I know is that the song is annoying and uninspired.<\/p>\n

That’s enough to keep me from listening.<\/p>\n

What do you think?<\/p>\n
