None of Katy Perry's (TGIF, Circle The Drain, Not Like The Movies) went to radio at the time - obviously TGIF has now as it's the 5th single Also, Taylor Swift's 3 promos (Speak Now, Mean, Back To December) were sent to radio, until the latter two were singles. So I think Edge Of Glory will be 3rd single ALREADY () as promo singles do not generally get sent to radio as this seems to be!

Posted by: Rain 6th May 2011, 12:58 AM

Gaga said we would hear a few more songs before the album release. I don't think it necessarily means it is the next single though.

Posted by: sıɹɥɔ 7th May 2011, 11:49 AM

Posted by: nicco 7th May 2011, 12:04 PM

f*** yeah. That means we will get more songs before Born This Way release.

Good start to a new week

Edge of Glory is a Big ballad right? I remember really wanting to hear it.

I thought that was Marry The Night?

Posted by: Liаm 7th May 2011, 07:51 PM

Yes it was Marry The Night which was originally set to be the first single, and iirc Edge Of Glory was described as 'the lovechild of Speechless and Bad Romance' which sounds EPIC! You & I is a big ballad though, on the subject. Live version is amazng, hope it's one of the promo singles.

This is a million times better than those two. I have to admit I'm not exactly a big GaGa fan but it's definitely in my top 3 songs by her so far...

Posted by: Jaack Sykes 9th May 2011, 07:37 PM

This should be a lot better received than BTW & Judas. It's not in your face with religion or the equality message of BTW, it has a very strong chorus and doesn't sound like a mess. & personally, I can't think of a song that it's 'copying'.

Posted by: David John 9th May 2011, 07:37 PM

Ooh i like it. First listen and all. Seems like a grower. Different to Judas and BTW.

Now 4 songs from the album and i couldn't feel any more hyped

Wonder what the other promo singles are?

not a gaga fan by any means but this is really amazing. If she makes a video I just hope its a nice happy bright one. Not dark depressing monster stuff something nice colourful and fun if gaga can still do that with this song could be HUGE for her

Posted by: THEO. 9th May 2011, 07:52 PM

Brilliant! Echo what Cremey said about her being DELUDED releasing 'Born This Way' and 'Judas' over this - it's sublime, and if this is a better reflection of what the album will sound like, I'm a little bit more "excited" than I was (which was not at all).

OMFG I LOVE IT. MORE INSTANT THAN BTW AND JUDAS!!!!!! FIRST VERSE IS EPIC

Posted by: gooddelta 9th May 2011, 07:54 PM

amazing.

Anthemic, melodic without sounding like a poor tribute of anything, the sax and synth parts are great, and the chord progression in the bridge is Very hyped up for the album once again now! Really would have led with this over Born This Way personally, it definitely has a lead single feel to it imo...

Posted by: Slowpoke 9th May 2011, 07:57 PM

Bringing back feelings of being about 11/12 again? For some reason, weird.

I'm DISAPPOINTED to see everyone has stolen my EXACT THOUGHTS on this and paraded them as their own. I usually go against the general GaGa grain.

This is the first time I've heard a song from her new album and thought "Oh, this is good." Born This Way was good but massively disappointing, and Judas was awful and gradually become quite something. Edge of Glory is instantly good. I hope there's much of this sort of stuff to come.

Posted by: Davidson 9th May 2011, 08:24 PM

This is absolutely fantastic. I am even more excited for the album now . Not quite on Judas level yet though.

Posted by: Dandy* 9th May 2011, 08:29 PM

I'm not sure what to think on first listen... it's just so... NORMAL!

LOVE the intro section... the chorus is very much like Pink (especially the backing dropping away for a moment before the chorus kicks in) which isn't a bad thing. Love the synth strings that are under the saxophone solo but I sort of wish the sax wasn't there and the bit at 3.48 onwards was extended as the breakdown section... I think I like it but it's not quite the statement that Born This Way and Judas have been so I can understand why she didn't go with it as first single.

It's quite a country-pop vocal - like Cascada used to do.

Posted by: Liаm 9th May 2011, 09:28 PM

I was passing judgement on this until a few (ie like 10) listens:


Ok... I will admit I was SO dissapointed on first listen, but I've given it like 2 hours now and now I LOVE it! It reminds a mix of My Life Would Suck Without You by Kelly Clarkson and Born This Way I love the sax bits too! For me:
Judas > Born This Way > Edge Of Glory

All are 10/10, and I'd probably say, even at this early stage Edge is my 3rd fave song of the year! SUCH a loon

EDIT: This grows EVERY listen, and now it's just finished again:
Judas >> Edge >>>> Born This Way

But as I said above, my top 3 songs of the year

Well DECADES after everyone else heard it seemingly, I've finally gotten round to it and I have to say that for the first time this era with her - I'm actually impressed. It's technically nothing overly impressive but it's preferable to the 2 singles so far and has a lot more of the old Gaga charm to it.

Posted by: Jonjo 9th May 2011, 11:37 PM

This is bloody fantastic! Easily one of her best songs after first listen! It sounds like it's the 'Paparazzi'/'Dance In the Dark' of this era for me! (My top 2 GaGa songs!) I knew it'd be too soon to completely write her off in my "not so interested" list. I can see why it wasn't the first single, but it would have been a great second single choice/album lead!

So basically everyone is saying that The Edge Of Glory is a thousand times better than Born This Way Or Judas... and everyone would be completely right!! It's fantastic, the Gaga we know and love! Quite why she didn't release this as the lead single just baffles me, it would have had number one written all over it! Loving the 80's rock ballad chorus! Let's hope the album's more like this than BTW/Judas.

It's one of the best songs Katy Perry never wrote. Everything from the vocal to the melody to the instrumentation sounds like it could quite easily have been Katy song but that's not a diss by any stretch of the imagination. It's a bloody good song actually. No massive and jarring sonic switch-ups in the middle of the song, just a great big fat hook, a simple but instantly gorgeous melody and a really natural vocal. Great work.

01. Born This Way
02. The Edge of Glory

03. Judas

I can hear the slight Kelly Clarkson influence, and given that My Life Would Suck Without You is f***ing brilliant it's not a bad thing. Far better than copying a Madona track bar for bar anyway.


This is the first track from this era that has clicked right away, Judas is only just clicking with me now and it took me a while to get pass the pretentiousness of Born This Way.


Hopefully she can crawl out of her arse for long enough to make a decent video for this, more along the lines of Eh, Eh; Pokerface; Telephone and Just Dance.

She NEEDS a #1 this era though, just so people don't write her off as a has-been

Posted by: PaulM1983 13th May 2011, 08:59 AM

If she changed her plans and performed this on Graham Norton, she'd have a shot at number 1. She would easily overtake Bruno again, and it would maybe give her that little bit of a lead to start the week ahead of him. Nothing would have got her to number 1 this week though. I think she'll manage number 3.

However, from the photos that have been online today, she definitely performed Judas and Born This Way on Graham, so at least Judas might get a little boost, and it will stay top 10 for a bit.

This song is almost my favourite of the era so far. Every time I listen to it, I hear something new that I love. I usually find that album closing tracks can be a bit crap, but if this is the closer, I'm dying to hear what comes before it

Fishy
Underwater?
Falls of a cliff into the sea?
Mermaid?
Sea queen?

Sounds very intresting

Posted by: Oricon 18th May 2011, 09:37 PM

Gaga better put the video out quick, to prevent The Edge Of Glory from falling too much. Her record label and Gaga herself probably saw the charts of Judas and saw it isn't appealing and therefore have moved on quickly to the next single which is a good choice.

Posted by: Rain 18th May 2011, 10:35 PM

I really hope they get this video right. The song is far too amazing to have a subpar video. It needs to be properly epic to match the euphoria of the song.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 19th May 2011, 02:37 PM

The video wont be around for a long time, if her other videos are anything to go buy. We will probably start getting bits towards the end of June. Glad its the 3rd single, also hoping Scheiße, You & I, Bloody Mary and Government Hooker follow shortly after (in that order)

Posted by: Regina 19th May 2011, 02:51 PM

Big fat NO to Scheiße being released, its just a poor mans version of Judas

Single campaigns really don't seem to last very long anymore. She should take a week off from promo and shoot a few videos (obviously won't happen though).

Gaga really needs to hurry up with The Edge Of Glory or it's going to sink and sink and then it will be too late for the video to help it.

It's not a single in the UK and it's doing just fine in the US so...

Posted by: Oricon 20th May 2011, 12:08 AM

But then again, without the Radio 1 Big Weekend performance, The Edge Of Glory wouldn't be this chart position on iTunes now......

And the mainstream likes it more than Judas it seems so please hurry Gaga this time

I hope she doesn't keep us waiting much longer though. I'm really beginning to love this now, its not my favourite release from the ear so far, 'Judas' is, but I don't usually get into the singles properly anyway till we've got the music video. Looking forward to seeing what she produces with this 'fishy' theme. Should be interesting.

Posted by: Daniel II 17th June 2011, 01:09 AM

GaGa fans are going into meltdown right now, it's painful to see so many mini explosions and tantrums. Something clearly must have gone seriously wrong on set for it turn out this $h!t and low-budget looking. It's a bunch of nothing, Keri Hilson's performance on So You Think You Can Dance was more exciting.

I agree with triangles, that the original treatment must have been scrapped during shooting, probably the same time as the director walked out. There was nothing "fishy" at all; so disapointing after the performance in France hinted at so much.

Posted by: ▲▲▲ 17th June 2011, 01:18 AM

I can't wait to read all the stan excuses and people trying to defend it for being "simple". Kahn probably had a vision and went into it thinking he wouldn't have to deal with Gaga and Laurieann Gibson's continuous changes. Too many fingers in the pie. They definitely shot something with him though! They scrapped it for this?! Haha.

She surely must be around a lot of yes-men? I can't imagine her team ever saying no to her.

Posted by: Oricon 17th June 2011, 01:21 AM

Worst video EVER.

1: Firstly since it was about the last moment before you die, it was meant to be emotional. I sense no emotions but a bare face all the time and her acting crazy, DOES NOT FIT THE CONCEPT OF THE SONG.

2: There is a lack of any storyline or whatsoever, it's just her at a storey house outside jumping and waffling about.

3: Has she ran out of ideas and therefore re-used Alejandro dance moves? (4:17)

4: Has she ran out of ideas and therefore re-used Just Dance dance moves? (4:27)

-------

This is just a pop disaster, god dammit and it just KILLED the song. The song was doing great until this music video came out. Firing Joseph Kahn and making this crap is clearly not good.

Did Gaga really hype all this up just for this video? It was even worse than the Just Dance music video...

Although that said, maybe the scene was from where she lives in New York and maybe before she dies, she'd go back there once more?

Posted by: Rain 17th June 2011, 01:22 AM

What the hell is that crap? It actually goes no where, just the same scenes repeated over and over. What a shame her best song (IMO) has her worst video. It's such a huge amazing song and she delivers this dull, forgettable video.

My point is that declaring that I lack objectivity when it comes to Gaga is random and absurd.

Now let's leave this alone already. Mud slinging is no fun at 3.42am.

Posted by: Tyler 17th June 2011, 03:11 AM

To compare it to the levels of 'Gimme More' is kinda sad... considering Britney was in the midst of one of the biggest celebrity mental breakdowns in the history of pop culture. Atleast it kind of fit into the theme of people wanting MORE, and the purple colors were pretty.

This is Gaga's worst video to date. Probably the most boring music video I have ever watched... really upsetting since it's such an amazing song, if she wanted the simple route it could have been done much better.

Posted by: MANIAC 17th June 2011, 06:05 AM

Maybe this will teach her to step off of her high horse and make some WATCHABLE music videos for once.

I haven't seen any other comments so i don't mean to echo what others have said

But oh my god, what a boring cheap video. You expect that from a newbie artist where the label don't spent too much money on the artist just yet

An amazing song with high lifting lyrics and they have her on a fake street dancing around. For Gaga, this is truly poor and not like her at all. You can't say money is no object when it comes to her.

Very disappointed. The worst video of her career.

Posted by: gooddelta 17th June 2011, 07:32 AM

Glad I'm not a stan because there's no way I could conceivably justify that. I fell asleep. It wouldn't be so bad if you didn't know that it probably cost a ridiculous amount of money to make.

Fair dues to her for making a 'simple video' but meaninglessly prancing around a street set for 5 and a half minutes isn't really what anybody was after. Simple could be done a lot more effectively and in a more relevant setting for probably a quarter of the budget.

I love the song but I'm still a bit shocked at how everything's turned out for her this era. She was always going to face a certain degree of backlash and certainly overhype coming off the back of the perfection of Bad Romance and The Fame Monster but even I'm surprised that the singles or videos have been this weak in comparison. Hopefully it's not the signal that she was a 1.5 album wonder because she's such a talent, the Monster Ball tour was one of the best spectacles I've seen in my life - thoroughly amazing. Rihanna's come back stronger than ever with Loud after a commercially sub-par era (even though I adore Rated R) and superstar's should be able to do that. It's not even that the album itself isn't strong because it really is great and packed full of hits and innovation, but Born This Way, Judas and these streams of pretentious and/or directionless videos (imo) are not convincing anybody that this is the case. Whereas Bad Romance/Telephone were the perfect contrast to each other, amazing pop and had stunning videos (still pretentious but far more effective) hence sold the album with ease.

Posted by: Lukuzz 17th June 2011, 08:54 AM

This is just utter crap. which is a shame as its by far the best song from the album. She didn't even seem like she was enjoying her self and the lip syncing to the track was terrible she seemed out of time. The word boring doesn't do it justice.

And as for people talking about Britney's Gimme More. At least that was entertaining (for the wrong reasons yes) but at least it didn't send you to sleep.

It's hardly atrocious, but I agree that she could have produced something a lot stronger given the inevitably gargantuan budget. Perhaps crucially from a commercial point of view, TV will lap it up because it's so simple.

Posted by: JakeyShake 17th June 2011, 11:05 AM

I really don't like her hair in this video...It would have been nice to have had some sort of story to this beautiful song.

Posted by: -Irish-Ladd- 17th June 2011, 11:26 AM

Okay, this is probably the most mixed opinion I've had EVER.
I want to love the video, I don't.
I think she was going for a 'simple yet effective' video - But this is just simple and boring.
Remember she hyped up Judas as her ''best video she's ever done'' - She never really hyped this - I can see why :/

But, anyone notcie in the video (towards the end) how she's actually smiling, laughing and dancing on her own. When was the last time we seen her doing all 3 of these in a video? :/ She actually enjoyed herslef when making this video (I'm sure she enjoyed the rest but we as the viewer can see it here) and isn't that what music is about? Making people happy and enjoying yourself.

Overall, I am disappointed in this video but it doesn't make me love or hate this song anymore than I did before the video. Also, I would have prefered if she jumped off the top of the building in the end. Would've made it more emotional.

Posted by: Regina 17th June 2011, 11:40 AM

Jeezo, if I'd wanted to watch some woman dressed like a prostitute and dance about like a $l*t, I would have gone to any street corner in Glasgow.

Posted by: Crowan 17th June 2011, 11:46 AM

Surely they are going to reshoot the entire video? She can't honestly put that out? GOD, this song was meant to be a triumphant return to form after Judas underperforming

It's so frustrating reading about the planned concept that was scrapped. I thought there might have been budget issues but clearly not because the sets were built and the dancers were hired. Is she really that deluded to think people would be happy and satisfied to watch over 5 minutes of just her?

This video is probably her worst to date, though nice to see for once she's not going over the top. At least the song has already sold a fair bit so not much more damage can be done, it's already peaked at 6. The song definitely makes the video more bearable.

Posted by: Slick 17th June 2011, 01:13 PM

I had a feeling this video would be kinda rubbish after it was so quickly announced as third single on the back of it doing so well as a promotional track. It looks as if they were GOING to put a reasonable amount of effort in still, but it's fallen by the wayside regardless. It's not the worst video I've ever seen - it's just not entertaining in the slightest which means it fails at its main purpose. Without a doubt her worst and one of the worst (if not THE worst) I've seen this year from a big female artist.

Posted by: Oricon 17th June 2011, 01:36 PM

The directors version better leak because I'm pretty sure, it's shot already but Gaga want to release and reshoot that crap version instead.

There was no directors' version edited together. They scrapped the footage of the bits that did get shot.

Reading that and seeing the set's is like rubbing salt in the wounds Sounds and looks like it could have been so much better if she hadn't had been so controlling. Completely agree that she has too many yes men around her. I'd love to see her explaining this in an interview. Though no doubt she's just revert to the old "It's about being halfway between reality and fantasy at all times" which she always seems to bring out recently when she hasn't got a clue.

Posted by: Daniel II 18th June 2011, 03:51 AM

I'm actually appreciating this video now, it reminds me of retro 80s videos; early Madonna but more specifically Billie Jean. The lighting and smoke is fabulous at creating an otherworldy tone, her last moments of celebrating her "glory" in the place that she truly loves before she crosses over to the other side; celebrating in the place that gave birth to her literally and creatively, and the place where she will most likely die. And when GaGa does die, I can see this being the video that is shown on news coverage, and the video that is looked on most fondly and iconically; for the fact that it's just her.

The video clearly has faults: it's rough round the edges; there's no progression to a big climax, only a subtle end; GaGa's prancing around can be a bit eye rolling at times, and the whole debacle surrounding the shooting taints it. Regardless, I can appreicate what GaGa is doing with this video and it's actually quite beautiful in its simplicity. It wears its heart on its sleave and it's the most honest thing GaGa has ever done.

It didn't need mermaids and doctors to get this across, she changed her mind. Sometimes a cigar is a cigar.
