Lady Gaga - The Edge of Glory

Okay, so I have another small complaint—what is up with those protrusions?!

In celebration of the single's video premiere tomorrow night, I've decided to do a review for Lady Gaga's latest single, "The Edge of Glory". For those of you who are in a rush and need to go somewhere in a few seconds, I can conveniently summarize this single review in one word: Yeeeeesssssss!!!!!!

Honestly, I only have one complaint for this song: it unfairly took the spotlight away from "Judas" before Judas could really blow up the charts, and unfortunately I cannot forgive this song for doing that. (I'm telling you, if Judas had just a little more promotion, it would've climbed the charts!) Luckily, this song is so damn good that I don't even care. The sound is bigger than life—it's as if Gaga created this song just to perform it in a gigantic stadium—and you get pulled into the song the moment it starts playing. From the heartbeat sound at the beginning all the way to end when you actually feel like you've reached the edge of glory, this pop/rock power ballad is by far one of the best songs on Born This Way (and one of Gaga's best songs ever), and even if you don't get the whole album (you should get the whole album!), at least get this single.

And of course, I must mention the best part of the song: Clarence Clemons's saxophone solo. Hands down, his solo is what keeps the momentum of the song going. If it wasn't for this solo, "Glory" probably would've lost some of its power by the end. But the song doesn't, and that's all that matters.

Until the official video comes out, watch this beautiful performance of "Glory" that Gaga has done recently (preceded by snippets of the equally awesome "Scheiße" and the first single, "Born This Way"). If your paws aren't up, you better get them up soon, 'cause Gaga is here to dominate!
