I think you make a valid point when you mention in the ways in which popular culture interprets an artist is a “good” Christian in the ways they understand the faith or more or less Christian.  It is a problematic situation if or how or can judge these artist in they way that they understand their own faith and in turn judge their work.

I have some Catholic friends who did not even know that Lady Gaga was Christian and were quick to condemn her, her music and especially against the song Judas.  She is not your typical “good” girl , but that does not make her any less of a good nor bad Christian, that should not be a question one should ponder, one can only look at the way her music speaks for itself on its own terms in a metaphorical way.
This in turn can also be said about  Lil Wayne ft Bruno Mars a video we will see tomorrow entailed Mirror. One can see that   Lil Wayne has tattoos on his eyes lids that say “Fear God” in the video he is covered in Christian symbolism and in the end there is a mural of what seems to be a red and black self portrait Jesus hanging on the cross. The lyrics are pay homage to Micheal Jackson, his past, his father, and reflection.  It is clear that this song is in turn depicting his faith, but what has is action depicted? He has been arrested and charged on more than on occasion for gun marijuana and narcotic possession and has served up to a year in prison. Knowing that would his music hold particularly this song hold less validity?  I don’t think so, as an artist he is showing his fans everything he has gone through his journey. To be Christian I think is not this quest in being  perfect, being "less or more"  it is recognizing your sin as well and examining it, dealing and repenting. As was quoted in class as Lady Gaga said "If you cant see your shadow your not standing in the light."  He has payed his dues and continuous to do so within himself, I think this is one of his most auto-biographical and more lyrically eloquent songs.
