1) It feels like a pop moment without her trying too hard. ‘Effortlessness’ is a word that seems to have been absent during this album campaign. As we’ve seen, Gaga’s strengths do not lie in addressing Big Topics, teetering on the knife edge of Madonna - making grab-bag religious references with all the depth of a shallow pool. ‘Edge Of Glory’ is simple. And it is, quite simply a Great Pop Moment.
2) Unlike ‘Born This Way’ or ‘Judas’, Gaga’s persona doesn’t overwhelm this track. There are not quotation marks or post-modern, pop culture winks. In the song she’s just a normal person caught in a (sorry) bad romance (sorry) with her beau.
3) You don’t feel duped by the pre-release hype after listening to it.
4) Gaga’s singing in her real voice, not that weirdly affected Mockney via Yonkers tone she’d acquired for the verses of ‘Judas’.
5) She doesn’t say the word ‘Gaga’ in the song at all.
6) …Or try to rhyme ‘Gaga’ with ‘Mama’, ‘Ju-duh’, ‘Lala’, ‘wonder-bra’ or ‘Condoleezza (Rice)’.
7) Clarence Clemons' saxophone solo. It’s a subtle addition which does bring to mind Springsteen at his poppiest, mid-80s self.
Bad things about ‘Edge Of Glory’
1) It wasn’t the first single from ‘Born This Way’.
2) Um…
3) That’s it really.
They better stan. I'm not feeling the Judas shade, cuz Judas is much better than EOG although it's also amazing in its own way. Someone make a thread for this
How big should the lead be the entire week to debut at #1 on the Hot 100? (To be ahead of the other songs with huge airplay like ET (150m) or RITD (100M)
And its gona keep increasing people are in love with this. Its not Gaga like at all completely different from her other singles and plus its drawing in new customers.. Im on The Edge
She may have landed in London, but she's not staying for long.
But she has to do something there, or she wouldn't be in London.
Do you think she's already there for Friday or for something else?
Who confirmed it though?

I don't see why she'd be here yet. Why would she come to London for a day, then Paris, then London? Unless she's filming something else.

She has to be in London on Thursday. She's in Paris now apparently.
