As enthusiastically bold as the music videos for both Lady Gaga’s “Judas” and “Born This Way” are, each leaves a lingering taste of unexpected emptiness. Be it the hazy, winding religious commentary of the former or the rigidly acted out space-birth of the latter, the concepts of the videos are quite unique but the final products themselves surprisingly don’t boast that much anticipated “whoa” factor, especially considering the bizarre lead up that has slowly helped build the wild character that the singer has adopted. At this point, considering the two lukewarm singles, the most remarkable and shocking thing that could come from Ms. Germanotta would be if Born This Way actually turns out to be wildly enjoyable when the album is released later this month.
