So, Gaga gas unleashed her latest video on us acompanying her single "Edge of Glory", and...well....um...it's def. lacks something. I like the song it's catchy and I love the implement of a saxophone-solo, performed by no one less than late Clarence Clemons of The E Street Band. The song speaks of the very last moments of living on earth, and was apparently inspired by Gaga's grandfather's death in 2010. It was written by Fernando Garibay and Gaga.
Back to the video: It's bloody aweful. It's one set, and one outfit, no dancers, in the setting around a fire escape in NY. Some critics have compared the simplistic video to the ones for Michael Jackson's "Billy Jean" and Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach". I say bullshit. Those videos at least had a story, a narrative, something to excite you. Gaga's is beautiful styled though wearing a raunchy number from Versace, but she's only got one outfit as I said. The video is directed by Gaga and her team House of Gaga, and maybe she should get a real director for the next one because this wasn't good. All I can say is that I hope that we get a better one for "Hair".
