Since Lady Gaga‘s “Judas” video was released Thursday, it’s been very controversial for its proposed religious innuendos. It’s not surprising, is it?
Lady Gaga tweeted, “The Cultural Baptism cannot be stopped.”
Co-director of the video Laurieann Gibson told MTV, “To the religious groups, I don’t even know that there’s religious [stuff in there]. I’m like, you know, Jesus did have a crown of thrones, he did die for my sins. I’m a believer, so I say to them, those religious people, personally, I can’t speak for Gaga, but as a director, a choreographer, as a believer, I say, ‘Take a look at yourself.’ For me, I would never [defame] my savior and the love and the non-judgment of what Jesus means to me. So I say, ‘Take a closer look at why you’re judging.’”
Also Gibson said about the process of creating the video, “The discussions were massive, the concepts were many prior to landing on a place. They were just exciting, full of passion. It was a magical process and we’re really proud of where we ended up.”
