Lady Gaga’s much-awaited "Judas" video will premier next week during "American Idol," and fans have been anxiously awaiting the hyped work. Ahead of the release, Lady Gaga has talked about the video in various interviews, giving a bit of a preview on what to expect. Notes Gaga, ""Well, the video, in essence, suggests that forgiveness and betrayal are hand in hand. The video puts destiny above all things and postures that the mistakes in your life are in fact not mistakes at all, they are just part of your overarching potential and your destiny."
She didn’t want to give all the details, of course, but she did note biblical references, saying, "Well, I want to allow the video to speak for itself, but I will say that the theme of the video and the way that I wanted to aesthetically portray the story was as a motorcycle Fellini movie, where the apostles are revolutionaries in a modern-day Jerusalem. And I play Mary Magdalene, leading them into the town where we meet Jesus, and I will leave the rest for you to see. But it’s meant more to celebrate faith than it is to challenge it."
Despite referencing religious icons, Gaga by no means is intending that the song is an interpretation of the Bible. Add the famous singer, who went to Catholic school as a girl, "Well, I wouldn't necessarily say that my schooling informed the songwriting on that record in particular. 'Judas' is a metaphor and an analogy about forgiveness and betrayal and things that haunt you in your life, and how I believe that it's the darkness in your life that ultimately shines and illuminates the greater light that you have upon you," she said.
