Then the edge of glory video mess that prevented it from hitting number 1. The recycled video concept of edge of glory in You and I. Then Marry the night video being so long and messy and no one bothered to watch it. MTN being the last single when there was songs like Hair, Scheiße and Heavy metal lover waiting to smash. It was very much a mess.

You and I was what Gaga wanted it to be, that was always gonna be the that way. MTN was the fifth single and was her chance to just do whatever, she already had the biggest smash of the year after Adele's phenomenon. Judas gave a flawless video and got solid promotion with some of her absolute best looks (long black and white hair + Graham Norton, Cannes Film Festival, Paul O'Grady). Edge of Glory's video was a mess granted, but she performed it solidly on American Idol's finale (I was there hihihi), MuchMusicNow, Paul O'Grady and in Japan and Germany. Her performances of Hair were spectacular every single time. Her You and I performances slayed to the heavens when they came around barring the VMAs which granted was a mess. There was so much more good than bad, I'd never consider BTW a mess.
And let's be real, HML would never have smashed. Radio would not have taken to it. I'd like to think Scheiße would have, but 2011 was the shift away from dance/EDM so in all likelihood it probably wouldn't have either.
Wow lordT the Dangerously_Long teas of this
