			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most people have already heard Lady Gaga’s new song “Judas,” and on May 5 the music video debuted.  </p>
<p>Popular artists typically entertain, and when religious and political points are discussed to fans it is considered crossing the line. The song is considered controversial since it discusses religious figures such as Judas, Jesus, Mary Magdalene and many other religious figures.</p>
<p>On the other hand Lady Gaga and her “Monsters” see the meaning of the song not literally, like “Born This Way,” but more metaphorically. Talking about how it’s human nature to still be drawn to people you once loved, even though other people, and even the world, view them as evil.</p>
<p>Even though the song is intended to be metaphorical, the meaning has been taken very literally and seriously. Many people believe Judas was the cause of Jesus’ death and thus should never be defended.</p>
<p>It’s not only this song that has made people upset, even in her upcoming album the song titles have also caused a stir from “Black Jesus,” “Government Hooker,” “Bloody Mary” and “Electric Chapel.”</p>
<p>Lady Gaga’s fans are still backing her motives. “Monsters” from around the world are seeing the meaning of her songs and even interpreting them into a constructive message.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The award winning Black Eyed Peas have returned after a four year break. Their last CD, “Monkey Business” was released in 2005. Their latest CD “The E.N.D.” standing for “The Energy Never Dies” was released on July 3<sup>r</sup>.</p>
<p>This is B.E.P.’s fifth CD release. The cover includes a picture that can be confusing at first. Group member Will. I. Am writes “This is the face of digital energy! This is what we look like when Fergie, Apl, Taboo, and Will. I. Am combined digitally. We are one in this image. This is The E.N.D!!!!”</p>
<p>The album includes such hits as “I Gotta Feeling” and “Boom Boom Pow”. “I Gotta Feeling” has already been at the top of the charts for 19 weeks. If they stay afloat for one more week, The Black Eyed Peas will top Usher’s 2004 records for “Yeah!” and “Burn!”</p>
<p>Although the song has gotten mixed reviews, recieving titles ranging everywhere from The Stupidest Song Ever and The Best, listeners can’t help but get into the music and break into a dance. The song is fairly repetitive, repeating the title words over and over, and informing everyone that tonight’s gonna be a good night.</p>
<p>The other songs on the CD that are not commonly heard on the radio are mostly about love and romance and some songs seem to play it, save, with again repetitive beats and rhythms.</p>
<p>In most of their songs the band doesn’t even seem to be singing, but simply talking to the music. Although one song, titled “Missing You”, does show off Fergie’s vocal range. With high ranges and powerful soul, she shows she is a great singer in this song, unlike some of her band mates.</p>
<p>Every album has a song that is extremely annoying to some people. For this one it is “Imma Be”. The background throughout most of the song is the same, monotone “Imma be”. It gets so irritating that the skip button just has to be pressed.</p>
<p>Overall the music on the CD is enjoyable for going out with friends, dancing, and partying, or even listening to in the car. However, when it comes right down to it, the songs aren’t very creative. Listen to it while cleaning or having a party, but don’t listen to it if only songs that have meaning are worth while.</p>
