Lady GaGa - Born This Way ALBUM COVER

[Judas]

i don't like the font, but i adore the photo.

hmm this is really strange, a lot of people are speculating this isn't the actual cover. look at this post from a gaga fan site:

After the release of the Born This Way Album Cover there has been a lot of criticism and debate over the imagery and the font of the artwork. A fair number of people are choosing to believe that this is a joke, that the real cover is yet to come, maybe Gaga has a plan up her sleeve?

Following this idea that maybe this is a joke, I tried to think of ways that maybe Gaga is playing this, if this is not the real artwork..
So Judas was released early, Friday 15th April 2011, four days before release. For trivia sake, Jesus was crucified on Friday 15th April 30AD and was buried later that day, awaiting 3 days before his resurrection.
Perhaps this artwork is a symbol of a fall from grace, a betrayal, a pain. Gaga’s Judas was leaked (rumours speculate whether this was by Gaga herself or an actual leak) but nonetheless a symbol of betrayal. Hours later the release of this artwork that is loved by some, an questioned by others. Could this be Gaga conveying a momentary death, fall from the Fame, a representation? In a few days, will she rise again, majestic from this spiritual death and bring us another album cover? When the image was released her Twitter account the caption read “Cover By Nick Knight and The Haus of Gaga 5 + 23 + 11” – this does not say Born This Way Cover in the caption.

Is Gaga creating a moment in history, mimicking the religious events told in the Bible, is she experiencing and expressing a spiritual death caused by the betrayal of Judas, is this a symbol for a resurrection to come?

This is just a theory, and I could be looking deep into this, but the Judas Release theory also looks deep into biblical context. If this album cover is the real deal, then props of Gaga, Knight, and the Haus. Fans might be disappointed, but the music is what matters.

The three betrayals
1. The release date of Judas (Changed for Tuesday 19th april to Friday 15th april)
2. The snippet leaks. (Three snippets ‘Leaked’ online, Lady Gaga favorited a random blog that posted them on twitter)
3. The album cover.

also someone tweeted this backstage from the monster ball



what do we think? :S is there anything actually behind this or are people just looking it into it too much because they dont like it? she's also deleted the post on facebook and it's disappeared for some on twitter as well. hmmmm i'm not sure how i feel about this lol

At above, I've seen a lot of what you quoted being discussed around the net. Probably is fake

If it is a fake, this woman is so genius if it fits with the Judas thing

[Slowpoke]

Most of the promotion she does is thought up by herself unlike most of music industry's has-beens

[Judas]

IMO the right picture should be the normal album artwork, and the left should be the special edition.
