I actually really like this now. It's very uplifting, and just a fun, nice track. No hidden messages or self pretentiousness from her. Wonder if this will suddenly become the next single. ETA: New single. www.allaccess.com/top40-mainstream/future-releasesI really hope she slows down with the single releases.

This is just okay but I could see it growing on me. The bridge sounds lifted from "Digital Love" by Daft Punk. I like the production but she sounds like Christina in some parts, and not in a good way.
I don't like this as a single since I'm sure the radio edit will strip it into a dated, boring ballad.

Eh, not sure about it as a single choice. Even though I like it, it sounds way too dated.

I was getting sick of all her preachy message songs. This is exactly what she needed. Good choice.

Wow, definitely not waiting to see if "Judas" might get a second wind.

My favorite single from the project thus far! Its also outperforming Judas's first few days on iTunes, which is hugely promising.
Its a nice switch-up too, still an uptempo but a different quality from the RedOne collabos.
I am surprised at the way this became a single though. Marry the Night and Hair seemed to have all the single buzz, and then in a matter of a few days this is announced as the promo single and then third single.

Lady Gaga's 'Edge Of Glory' Inspired By Late Grandfather Song's co-producer, DJ White Shadow, opens up to MTV News about latest Born This Way track.
By Jocelyn Vena (@jocelyn1212)
Lady Gaga's "Edge of Glory" is a pure pop track about the glory of love, but it seems that those warm, fuzzy feelings come from a very sad place for the pop star. Co-producer DJ White Shadow — who worked on the track with Gaga and Fernando Garibay — shared with MTV News the personal tragedy that sparked the Born This Way song.
"We had just all got back to Europe, after Lady Gaga had taken a break to spend time with her grandfather who was in the hospital, before he passed away. She explained to us that she had written a song about it," he said in an email. "As she often would, she came in with the melody and lyrics. She told us about what an impact the event had on her."
The song not only was poignant for the star, but also White Shadow, who felt really moved by Gaga's track. "We worked on it backstage, changing little things with the melody and lyrics; I don't remember what city to be honest. But I remember crying when I heard her sing it the first time," he recalled. "I also remember them throwing us out of the venue because we were there so late listening to it."
"Edge" is sonically different from "Judas" and the album's title track, but White Shadow said emotionally, the songs are all very similar. "I think you will see a couple really emotional and complex songs on the album. I am so proud of her. She really put a lot of herself into the record; it genuinely hurts me when people take digs at her," he said. "You all know her as this monster, this invincible creature, but she is like my little sister.
"As a person, I know how hard she worked. I watched her put these songs together," he continued. "I know how much work and love she put into this album. I also know how much of it she had to do (to succeed by today's standard) versus what she did do (to succeed by her standard). At any rate, she gets a lot of mud slung at her, and there are a lot of real a--holes out there, trying to sh-- on her and f--- her over to make themselves look good. I just hope, when this record comes out, everyone will see, like I do, her genuine talent, vision, and love for life and her fans."

Currently getting slayed by RITD on iTunes (what isn't, though?). She needs to promo this somewhere high profile (AI?) because the video will be at a couple of months in coming (due to the hurried nature of its conversion from promo to proper single) and that will be too late IMO.
1. ADELE - Rolling In the Deep 1.0000 2. Lady GaGa - The Edge of Glory 0.5602

Well all her promo is lined up. Hopefully she performs this on AI and SNL.
I'm scared of what Hair's impact will do to this.

I'm scared of what Hair's impact will do to this. Why?

I'm picturing Hair purging EOG from the top 10 on iTunes, stealing radio play and attention, etc. It might not though

This is just OK to me. Nothing spectacular.

I'm by no means a big fan but she did a brilliant acoustic version of this at Radio 1's Big weekend in the UK last night. IMO she's so much more comfortable at the piano like this without the stupid gimmicks (and having to witness her dad dancing!) which she adopts with her uptempo tunes.

Sounds fantastic. This is the Gaga that I fell in love with on the last record.

GREAT performances..i usually HATE her acoustic stuff and LMAO at her saying that her album is so deep.

She always has great performances. But she ruins it with her pointless banter between each song. The HBO special was almost unwatchable because of it.

What I find strange is her spoken voice is very nasally but her singing voice isn't (most of the time).

#3 on iTunes, even though "Hair" was released today

Acoustic version of this would be perfect for her for American Idol

This is still sub-standard compared to her singles last album, but it'll do for now... better than BTW and Judas at least.

Debuts at #3 on the Hot 100. Timing is so bad. While Katy Perry gets four consecutive #1's from her debut album, seems the more popular Gaga will not be able to catch up.
