Whilst I'm busily trying to grab hold of everything that's happened in the music world over the past four weeks, queen of holy-pop-ness herself, Lady Gaga premieres the video for her third single to be lifted off the Born This Way album, The Edge of Glory.
Riding on the success of the original "promo" track (and the not-so-success of Judas), Gaga confirmed the sassy 90s number as her official third single in hope of regaining some of the chart spotlight she'd received with the singles off her Fame album(s). Has she done that? You be the judge.
The video for the track (which admittedly, is one of the best tracks off the album - although there are quite a few!) is actually quite simple in comparison to it's predecessors. It features Gaga dance on a fire escape and on a street/alleyway (somewhat reminiscent to Michael Jackson's Billie Jean, no?). Donning a very gay leather harness (maybe she's waiting for Folsom Street Fair) we see Gaga without her trademark prosthetics. Interesting... has she "grown" out of them already?
It's an interesting yet simple clip, and one that was clearly a little less in budget than those before. Do I like it? Of course I do, it's Gaga. But you?
The Edge of Glory is available digitally today [ITUNES]
