Poll: Did "Judas" save music? Sep 3rd 2012, 21:21 Quote: Originally posted by PopJustice Imagine a highly evolved, Titanium-plated 'Bad Romance' from the year 2511 travelling half a millennium back in time to save music from a tidal wave of 'in the club'-obsessed pop drivel, and that's 'Judas'. We love this song so much. It's pop in all the right ways, it's noisy in all the right ways, it's brash and bombastic and funny and audacious and stupid in all the right ways, and it's smart in all the right ways, too. Quote: Originally posted by PopJustice Vocally Gaga's in completely new territory (in the verses and pre-chorus she hurls herself into a decadent half-sung, half-rapped Jamaican Patois style), the chorus is a thousand storeys high, there's a demented tribal techno breakdown, and the whole thing is a little bit overwhelming for all the right reasons. Importantly, as a turbo-charged electrogothic wrongness anthem 'Judas' sounds like a lot of fun - like Gaga had fun writing it and like RedOne had a lot of fun producing it. If Abba ever went to the sort of poppers-'n'-fisting Mannheim sex club Jake Shears told us about in 2009 'Judas' is the sort of song they would have come up with. Maybe this is all good news for those of you who felt that the overstudied carefreeness of 'Born This Way' missed its target. Quote: Originally posted by PopJustice Does it sound like any songs by other notable recording artistes? No. Will some people dislike it? Yes, and it is important that these people are able to accept that they are wrong. They will need your love and your respect while they come to terms with this difficult truth. Do not pity them, just offer them your help. Source: http://atrl.net/forums/showthread.php?t=119805 Now that we've had some time to sort out the hype, how do you feel about it? Was it unfairly treated by radio and the GP? Just unfortunately released? Or did it leave it's mark and change music, with its tribal breakdown inspiring the likes of Rihanna and Nicki Minaj to try to follow in her footsteps?
