New Video: Lady GaGa – ‘The Edge of Glory’

Published: Friday 17th Jun 2011 by Sam

The video for Lady GaGa‘s ‘The Edge of Glory’ premiered today. Initially set to be directed by Joseph Khan, the clip is instead credited as being creatively helmed by GaGa and her team after a “change of plans on set”. Hmm.

Check out the video after the jump…

She’s most certainly served up better. The confusion on set seems to have translated into the video. And while she’s unlikely to suffer any immediate backlash, for an artist who prides herself on her visual output, this isn’t the best of looks.

    LOL
    It’s funny when Team Gaga postponed the release of this video because all-online-BUZZ went to FemmeFatale Tour. At first, they plan to release this video early and try to make FemmeFatale loses its steam. But, Living Legend will just being.. EPIC!
    Even Gaga needs to give a way for Britney and her B******! Lil Monsters are pathetic. Hahaha
    Guess what Britney still a dominant force and having over than 4 WW TT on Twitter. Shame on you Gaga, ..after all of her ignorant and those issues with Joseph Khan for this video, people are tired of her arrogance and she is full of gimmick.
    Try hard next time Gaga.. This video is OK but it doesn’t help the single to hit #1 because my lady ‘Katy Perry’ is blocking Gaga’s stink ass! LOL
    btw, 4 is set to 4Lop. Hahahaha No one cares about tired-ass-BEYONIC. Beyonce fans = Brainless.
    Last Friday Night TGIF #1 on iTunes!!!
    Femme Fatale Tour sold out and slays your ass!!! Britney sings live and it was AMAZING!!!
    Rihanna good luck for your most anticipating tours.
    Katy-Britney-Riri slaying 2011!
    Stay MAD+PRESSED!
    P/s: It’s funny, Born This Way dropped from #1 spot. Hahahahaha Adele slays Gaga flop ass!

  2. Jarrett June 17, 2011

    I think this is one of best songs, but the video could have been better, more like katy perrys fireworks video, but still keeping it simple. i feel the 80s vibe in the video, very prince Micheal feel to it. Luv gaga though

    I still don’t get the point of spreading all that dirt like “Gaga stans are pathetic / Beyonce fans are brainless blah blah blah…” Some people should get a life , that would help… maybe 😡

    Anyways , don’t like this video, even if I’m a huge Gaga fan…. It looks…. cheap, as if she just started her career. Not on her level at all :/

  6. Haiku June 17, 2011

    LOL @ Perrylicious

    Always ready to hijack other people’s posts because Katy never gets any stories herself.

    Nobody is mad OR pressed about Katy.
    It’s like when a person with one leg wins a race. People are just happy and surprised!

    now back to the post…

  7. aisha June 17, 2011

    i like it. think she even tributed MJ when she danced at some point. confusion, Sam? didn’t see any. it was gloomy, but w/ a hint of hope and better days to come.

  8. LaLa June 17, 2011

    Her WORST video to date! Ugh Why Gaga???? Why you fired Joseph Kahn???! He’s f****** awesome director! instead fired that Laurie Ass Gibson ASAP!!!!

  9. OH…. June 17, 2011

    Whats good about that wig?

    Was’nt there meant to be something fishy about the video?

    Is basic dancing in the street meant to be entertaining?

    Should’nt she be better at lip syncing in her vids by now?

  10. Ihavetheclap June 17, 2011

    This video I have no words. It was a got damn mess. Literally all she was doing was singing off a fire escape. And walking down the street.

    Budget : $125.00

  11. KD June 17, 2011

    GaGa looking like a 2 dollar hooker, what else is new? It’s a shame that such a great song was done such a disservice.

    @THE PSYCHO KATY PERRY STAN

    …Last time I checked it was Katy Perry and not “The Perrylicious is taking over ” occupying the #1 spot on itunes, it’s her victory not yours, you my dear are still a flop.

  12. The Perrylicious is taking over… June 17, 2011

    @KD

    oh yeah?
    You mad? 😀

  13. Ihavetheclap June 17, 2011

    I’m also convinced gaga is on cocaine HARD. I used to snort and lemme tell u. Her face got that white lady written all over it.

    And why she kept lickig the sidewalk? High boots.

  14. Queen Beyonce Stann June 17, 2011

    *Gonna Be UNBAIASED*

    Well, The Video Was BETTER Than Born This Way & Judas,
    She Didnt OVERHYPED It Or Used GIMMICKS (Odd)
    But In All It Was A BASIC VIDEO For A Very BASIC SONG
    It Was Boring But I Did Get An MJ Feel To It.

    It Seems As If She’s Running Out Of Ideas For Music Videos This Era 🙁
    Bad Romance >>>> Born This Way Era

    @KD

    oh yeah?
    You mad? 😀

    No my dear, I am sane. You however needed a dose of reality.

  17. Kate June 17, 2011

    this video sucks!

  18. Bey’knight June 17, 2011

    Wow maybe judas video did cost 10mil. There’s a fine line between simple and boring

  19. Janet June 17, 2011

    She is losing her credibility. Her new album sucks, boring video, overrated and what’s next? @Perrylicious.. you are too much! but i’m gonna agree that femme fatale tour was amazing!
    I was there and Britney sang live.

  20. Amras June 17, 2011

    The videos in this era reflects the quality of the music. I can speak german if you like: ES IST SCHEISSE!

  21. Haiku June 17, 2011

    @ KD

    Haha. KD youre wasting your time with that one. She is convinced that the world is against Katy Perry .

    ****************************************************

    Your comment is still the funniest thing on this page though:

    @THE PSYCHO KATY PERRY STAN

    …Last time I checked it was Katy Perry and not “The Perrylicious is taking over ” occupying the #1 spot on itunes, it’s her victory not yours, you my dear are still a flop.

  22. Justme June 17, 2011

    @perrylicious. I am happy for katy cuz we all know she is only as good as her next single.. tell me something y can’t she sell albums.. how do u have four #1 singles and ur album is barely making it to platinum if that.. teamkaty needs to get it together..

    Gaga video was kind of boring… she not the type of atist like britney or beyonce that has the presence to stand alone in a video.. she kind of like nicole s from pcd u really dnt care about her if no one is dancing behind her.. but the song is one of the best I heard from her so oh well its kind of like a hit.miss

  23. Natalia Kills June 17, 2011

    THIS VIDEO IS WHACK…

    BUT SHE OBVIOUSLY AINT TAKING THIS SINGLE TOO SERIOUSLY (IN VISUAL PROMOTIONAL TERMS)

    I THINK SHE IS GONNA PUT ALL THE MONEY ON ‘HEAVY METAL LOVER’ BECAUSE LETS FACE IT , THATS THE BIGGEST HIT ON THE ALBUM..

    I CANT WAIT TO SEE THE VIDEO FOR THAT!

  24. DIDI June 17, 2011

    Boring… When it comes to Gaga, we all expect smth huge visually or artistically.. But with this video, there is norhing.. even the commercial on the Brooklyn Bridge was way better !

  25. Layla June 17, 2011

    She run out of ideas

  26. Kavion June 17, 2011

    I loved it. Classic & simple. Maybe it’s just because this is my favorite GaGa song?

    *Kanye Shrug*

  27. Bobby from Bulgaria June 17, 2011

    Well, I told you it’s the END OF GLORY for her already…

    I told you she’s getting MORE AND MORE BORING each day and people are getting tired of all that stupid things she’s doing… So FAKE…

    She has sold that million copies of her album just because it was CHEAP… It’s time to ‘milk the cow’ and get away…

  28. EXTREME HATE IS A DISEASE,GET IT CURED aka ISTANN4GAGA June 17, 2011

    lol the video was nice….kinda underwhelming though

    S/N SMH & LOL at My peers(monsters) dragging LaurieAnn.I still love being a Gaga Stan BUT sometimes there are monsters that do the most.

    Lol Katy Perry admired Gaga’s tweet yesterday.I am NOT going to hate Katy because of the stupid Stan named Perrylicious.

  29. EXTREME HATE IS A DISEASE,GET IT CURED aka ISTANN4GAGA June 17, 2011

    lol I am eager to see all the other gaga stans’ opinion on those “events” that happened on twitter last night…..

  30. The Author June 17, 2011

    Oh, so this is why there is a red X at the top of my screen.

    Please give me back Madonna. I am not even a fan of her, but this is so.. so.. boring.

  31. RihannaNAVY June 17, 2011

    Actually, that s one of her better videos to me.
    Nuthin weird… just good music and some fun

  32. ChrisJ June 17, 2011

    whats so special about this!? so she dancing in front of a building where her pimp lives in and on his fire escape lol jk jk I LIKE IT..AND I GROWN TO LOVE THIS SONG..GOOD JOB GAGA

  33. Landon+Lewis June 17, 2011

    I’m gonna puke if any videos by her (this era) win the VMA.
    All of her video sucks this year.
    The best videos still belong to Katy Perry E.T, TGIF and Britney HIAM, TTWE.

    *No hates* please?
    Gaga ..you are pathetic lately…come on.. I’m your lil monster.

  34. Mari (RIP Dwayne McDuffie) June 17, 2011

    All the video budget money went to Judas (LOL HEHEHEHEHE)

  35. True Skarlet June 17, 2011

    This was boring, not bad but boring. No costume change at all?

    This song is about someone’s final moments alive and I thought she was going to tell some great story through the video or have good visuals but All I got from this was a hooker dancing badly on the street. I like Gaga but so far this era her video’s have been hit and miss

    Judas video >>> The Edge of Glory video >>> Born This Way video

    Still love the song though 🙂

  36. Landon+Lewis June 17, 2011

    I HATE perrylicious at this post! lol
    Well she/he got some points.. Perry slaying on iTunes. lol
    This video is so f***** boring. I was like..Seriously? where the hell is ‘mermaid-things’?

    – I just can’t believe Britney sings live for 70% of her tour last night. Her voice was quite impressive. Still can’t believe it. *fainted*

  37. RihannaNavy June 17, 2011

    I’m gonna wait @Sam to comment on Britney’s live singing on her opening tour.
    Sam always calling her studio artist. Now what? :p

  38. RihannaNavy June 17, 2011

    by the way, this video is pathetic. 🙁

  39. KAT DELUNA FAN June 17, 2011

    Did judas betrays her and went with the music video budjet?

    jk

    I WANTED A SIMPLE VID,I GOT IT
    I AM SO HAPPY
    LOVE THE VIDEO AND GLAD SHE LOOKS SO PRETTY IN IT

  40. loves1embrace June 17, 2011

    I liked it! I prefer this one to Judas! Cute and simple! I appreciate her performing without all the extras!

  41. Beyonce and CB Fan June 17, 2011

    I miss the gaga that came out in the beginning . You can tell in this video she just ran out of ideas or somebody did.

    This video is craptackular!

  42. Prince&Queen Bey June 17, 2011

    WOW! What a BORING video!! Gagas videos are usually entertaining but this was flat out BORING! All she gave in this video was Drunk Zombie lol. This song is too Cute for her.

    NEXT!

  43. Nini June 17, 2011

    She is so overrated. Non of her new videos have been good so far. She looks cheap, can’t dance and is so full of herself. Only retards would support this filth

  44. Deuces June 17, 2011

    This looks like some college amateur s*** with a high quality camera.

    Mess.

  45. HunnyBunny June 17, 2011

    I actually like it

  46. Madonnalovet June 17, 2011

    This video was cheap, underproduced and boring. I expected more from this great song.

  47. mehtney this way June 17, 2011

    EPIC VIDEO. I LOVE IT. I LOVE THE FACT IT AINT PERFECT. I LOVE THE FACT SHE JUST DOESNT CARE N DANCE N RUN AS IF IT WAS HER LAST MOMENT IN LIFE.

    LEGEND GAGA WILL ALWAYS IMPRESS ME.

    1 MILLION IN US
    2 MILLION WW

    SHE RUNS THIS MUTHA

  48. Bobby from Bulgaria June 17, 2011

    Lady Gaga is…

    GONE…

  49. YOOSONDALOOSE June 17, 2011

    Love it, very good, no background dancers, just her, good video.
    LET THE HATERS COME.

  50. EXTREME HATE IS A DISEASE,GET IT CURED aka ISTANN4GAGA June 17, 2011

    as for The song itself

    ITS THE PERFECT SONG (FOR ME) TO GRADUATE TO!!!!!!!

  51. i&i(yardie) June 17, 2011

    I am not impressed with the singles I have heard from her so far from BTW. How can someone seemingly fall off so quickly? As quickly as she came, she seems to be going. I dont think she can top her 1st 2 albums and I honestly dont think she can keep this up for five years and people not getting tired of her. BLEH!

  52. ITSVERYPERRY June 17, 2011

    gaga video days are over

  53. Robier June 17, 2011

    THE TWITTER LAST NIGHT WAS HILARIOUS. THE MONSTERS WERE MAD AT THIS S*** AND LORI ANNE GIBSON CALLED HERSELF TRYN TO RESPOND NASTY AND THEY LAID THAT HACK OUT TOO LMAO

  54. DUNKFAN June 17, 2011

    Yeah it is kinda cheap but yall never said s*** about the last 12 videos that beyonce made that looked like she filmed in her closest.

  55. WildChild June 17, 2011

    I actually like this video. It wasn’t that bad. I also love the fact that Lauriann was getting dragged on twitter. I have never liked her. 🙂

  56. lorenzo June 17, 2011

    HER BREAST LOOKS SO SAGGY EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW BORING AS HELL A EPIC FLOP BORING I EXPECTED BETTER MUCH BETTER GAGA

  57. JER June 17, 2011

    She took a month to edit Telephone and then took a day to edit this garbage? SRS WTF. Wasn’t the video planned to be released in July and suddenly “The video premiers tomororw” i knew it was a bad sign

  58. ERIC June 17, 2011

    BEAUTIFUL, SIMPLE AND EPIC!
    A WONDERFUL TRIBUTE TO NEW YORK, HER ROOTS, HER CHILDHOOD, HER STRUGGLE TO GET TO WHERE SHE IS RIGHT NOW AND HER GRANDFATHER.
    GAGA PUTS ON ONE OF HER CAREER BEST VIDEOS WITH “THE EDGE OF GLORY”.

    TAKE A DEEPER LOOK AT THE VIDEO BEFORE SAYING IT’S A FLOP OF ANYTHING OF THE SORT.

    GAGA’S TOP VIDEOS
    1. BAD ROMANCE
    2. PAPARAZZI
    3. THE EDGE OF GLORY
    4. TELEPHONE

  59. Yellow Gorillah June 17, 2011

    Lady gaga is running out of ideas

    the video was …. ok I guess
    I understand she was tying to keep it simple but it ended up being soo boring.
    She should have at least done some type of group choreography and more costume changes

    I love the versace

    I hope she does not direct heavy metal lover because she needs to stay away from directing because her as a directer is a Disaster.org

  60. TAYLOR SWIFTS NUMBER 1 FAN June 17, 2011

    Lmao at 4:20 What the hell is she doing!

  61. Y’all are too fake June 17, 2011

    Heavy Metal Lover is not the next single dumbasses. Marry The Night is.
    And Gaga had problems on set, & didn’t want to let down her fans, so she did something quick and released a raw version of a video without the gimmicks u f*** complain about. I dont get it? First she’s too much, now’s she’s too boring. Make up ya minds.

    At least she still released the video instead of throwing it away like Alicia Keys & Beyonce (Put it in a Love Song) more like Put it in the Trash Can.

  62. Y’all are too fake June 17, 2011

    Lady Gaga is running out of ideas? Yeah good luck coming up with ideas in one day because the other previous ideas didnt work out due to a Bossy B**** Director & Rude Choreographer. Gaga was like “f*** this”, ill pay homage to New York. The only people I want in my video is Me & Clarence (sax player). The two people who actually made the song! I can’t with u haters.

    Rihanna has worst videos than this. Man Down!?? All the b**** did was walk around & get r****. Wow such a storyline.

  63. Musicfan June 17, 2011

    Wow. I was so disappointed. Lol. I did hear that there were problems with the director though so it’s understandable.

    I want her to slay in the next video.

    Btw guys the next single is Scheiße!!!! Radio edits leaked a few days ago. Scheiße is the next single NOT Marry The Night! I think Marry The Night should be the next single. Why do people think it would be Heavy Metal Lover?

  64. Queen Beyonce Stann June 17, 2011

    @MusicFan

    I’ll Give Props That Scheiße Is The ONLY Gaga Song I Truely Ever Liked && I’ll Be Looking Forward For The Video…
    *Kanye Shrug*

    #KingB2011

  65. AC June 17, 2011

    In my honest opinion, Lady GaGa has not had a great music video since Bad Romance. I have enjoyed some of the following videos to some extent (others not so much), but she has always managed to hold my attention and interest throughout the entire video. Edge of Glory is an amazing song and this is such a huge disappointment. It is her worst video yet. There’s nothing engaging about it and it looks like it costs $100 to make. Even if there were problems with the director, she should not have rushed this. She didn’t need to put out a video for this song just yet, as we got the Judas video a little over a month ago. If you look at her other videos, there tends to be at least a 2/3 months span of time between the release of each one. And I don’t understand why there was a fall out with Joseph Kahn. She’s worked with him before and he has directed some amazing videos.

  66. Musicfan June 17, 2011

    Agreed with Queen Beyonce Stann.

    I do love all of Gaga’s songs but Scheiße is a standout track. Props to you for not being as delusional as I thought.

    I’m still very dissapointed. She needs to get back with Francis Lawrence who directed Bad Romance.

  67. bobby d June 17, 2011

    WEAK!!! wow gaga you suck. where you hungover? you lazy b**** get back to work

  68. King B June 17, 2011

    @ Music Fan:

    Co-sign. This video is so underwhelming. If she was having issues with the director, she should’ve temporarily held off on making the vid until she found a suitable director. I’m glad she’s making Scheibe the next single, I hope the video slays as well.

    I really can’t understand why the videos are so off this era. They’re either too over-the-top and disjointed or they are so boring that they don’t even make any kind of impression at all. Quite a contrast to a couple years ago.

  69. King B June 17, 2011

    Didn’t finish: quite a contrast to a couple years ago where damn near every video she made slayed on all fronts.

  70. Musicfan June 17, 2011

    What does co sign mean?

    And yeah I agree. She needs to get it together.

    Scheiße radio versions leaked a few days go so it’ll most likely be the next single.

  71. King B June 17, 2011

    ^^^ Co-sign means I agree.

  72. SHESDUMB June 17, 2011

    I CANT SAY I’M DISSAPOINTED IN LADY GAGA, THE VIDEO WAS RUSHED BECAUSE THE SINGLE WAS LEAKED BUT WAS A HIT ANYWAYS.
    HER VIDEOS DONT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE EXCITING AND CHOREOGRAPHED.

    GOOD JOB GAGA

  73. nice_gurl June 17, 2011

    It was alright, but I lost interest in some parts. My favourite part of the song is the sax. I think the coreography could have been better and maybe had a costume change.

  74. African( Senegal ) loooove breezy!!!!!! June 18, 2011

    I f***** love the video! It’s simple & classic! You, damn hypocrits haters can you suck my d***, cause i’m sure if it’s was rih video, you will kisse & praise it ( see the boring “california…) We got it you hate her (Gagalo),cause she “ugly, gimmick, untalended…” so stay away from her p**** and posts, you no-life obsessed haters!!!!! Bye!

  75. Q.D.H. June 18, 2011

    I actually LIKE this video, wasn’t over the top and distracting as judas and born this way-. Sometimes less is MORE!

  76. IfierceMonster June 18, 2011

    TERRIBLE.

    My good sis GaGz hasn’t been hitting the mark with vids for this era!

  77. Aaliyah June 18, 2011

    Boring. This is the worst era of the year. First week sales were just hype since May 2010 + 0.99 cent Amazon deal. She is fading away, and that is not slowly.

    “Born This Way” just doesn’t have the longlivety nor the hits to stay on the charts for a long time span, like “The Fame (Monster” did.
    Oh well, it was nice being a Gaga fan while she still was entertaining.

  78. Jackie June 18, 2011

    I can’t believe she fired the director, he would have done a much better job! Even if they just extended the google chrome commercial it would have been better. Why does she always look so dead in her eyes?

  79. DMAC143 June 25, 2011

    Definitely feels rather 80’s inspired, almost reminds me of a darker version Cindi Lauper’s: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, in some ways.

    Not a huge fan of that eye make up or the crazy claw-like nails..but it’s GaGa and I guess that’s expected.

    I did however enjoy what they were doing with the camera angles but still it was a slight bit of snoozer. Hmm…
