Lady Gaga Drops ‘Judas’ Early (Audio)

It’s a great day for Lady Gaga fans!

Lady Gaga was supposed to release her new single “Judas” on April 18, but Capital FM in London played the song Friday, during the radio station’s “Home Run” program.

This isn’t the first time Lady Gaga has released a song early. She played the same trick with her last hit, “Born This Way.”

On Thursday, Lady Gaga tweeted “PawsUpForJudas! I’ve learned love is like a brick, you can build a house or sink a dead body.”

True to her style, “Judas” is an electronic song very reminiscent to “Bad Romance” and “Born This Way.”

The song is off her latest album “Born This Way.” The album will be released in stores on May 23. Lady Gaga also created a video for “Judas” which she and her creative director Laurieann Gibson directed.

In a recent episode of Gagavision which Mother Monster released earlier this month she said “Let the cultural baptism begin. If they were not who you were taught they would be, would you still believe?”

Listen to “Judas” below. Will it be a smash hit?

Lady Gaga Heats Up the “Today Show” on NBC

Lady Gaga took over Rockefeller Plaza on a hot and humid New York Friday to perform on “The Today Show” for over 20,000 people!

The singer started with the classic Gershwin ballad ‘Someone to Watch Over Me,’ and then transitioned into her live performance of her mega-hit ‘Bad Romance.’

Before continuing the performance, the hosts of ‘Today’ talked to Gaga about the realities of fame and her new music.

“There are certainly things that are difficult to deal with,” Gaga said. “But the kind of fame that I cherish is the relationship I have with my fans.”

Lady Gaga also performed a brand new song ‘You and I,’ from her upcoming record. The singer sat alone at her piano to play the soulful rock ballad and climbed atop it for the finale of the song.

After a break, Gaga returned to the stage to sing ‘Alejandro,’ and then she closed her set with a performance of ‘Teeth.’

Lady Gaga has finished new album!

Superstar Lady Gaga has finished her new album, after her debut “The Fame” topped charts around the world.

Gaga is known for her flamboyant costumes as much as her records, plans to release the album early next year, according to Rolling Stone magazine.

“I think I’m gonna get the album title tattooed on me and put out the photo,” she told the publication.

“I’ve been working on it for months now, and I feel very strongly that it’s finished right now. It came so quickly. Some artists take years; I don’t. I write music every day.”

The “Poker Face” singer, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, hinted that her new music was likely to be more serious than her hit debut, which turned her into one of the pop world’s biggest stars.

“I have been for three years baking cakes — and now I’m going to bake a cake that has a bitter jelly,” she said.

“The message of the new music is now more bitter than it was before. Because the sweeter the cake, the more bitter the jelly can be.”

Do you think she can top her last album?!

Is Madonna Angry With Lady Gaga?

Apparently the Queen of Pop, Madonna, thinks that Lady Gaga is a copycat! According to Madonna’s friends, the legend is “annoyed” with Gaga and she accuses her of ripping off her avant garde style.

Madonna’s copycat claims have been further fuelled by Gaga’s controversial — or “blasphemous,” if Katy Perry is to be believed — video, “Alejandro.” The clip shows Gaga dressed in a latex nuns’ outfit, suggestively swallowing a set of rosary beads, and appears to include references to Madonna’s early ’90s videos for “Like A Prayer” and “Vogue.”

”It just bugs Madonna that Lady Gaga uses fashion and her performance style in a way that has so many people calling her ‘The New Madonna,’” One spy says. “Madonna thinks she is unique and there cannot be a younger version of something that is unique.”

The America’s Catholic League can see the similarities between Madonna and Gaga as well and here’s what they had to say about it all:

“Lady Gaga is playing Madonna copy cat, squirming around half-naked with half-naked guys, abusing Catholic symbols – they’re always Catholic symbols – while bleating out Alejandro enough times to induce vomit… She has now become the new poster girl for American decadence and Catholic bashing, sans (without) the looks and talent of her role model.”

Do you think Lady Gaga is copying Madonna? Or do you even care?! Haha
