"Edge of Glory" sounds great on first listen in LQ! :o Vocals are so on point and I can't wait to hear this in HQ. I remain very excited about this era. When does it hit iTunes? @gagadaily So what do you guys think of "The Edge of Glory"? On iTunes in 10 minutes! youtu.be/S08KonZiew4 EDGEOFGLORYiTUNES 5 minutes ago via web In about 5 mins.

lol i like this soooooooooooooo much better than BTW and Judas. But yeah it's not a radio single. Sucks for her, since her radio singles are mediocre at best.
But finally something that doesn't feel forced and dishonest. I actually might buy the album afterall. Good job Gaga!

Why was this being described by so many people as a ballad? Was it a guess? This is no ballad. Rolling Stone called it a "power ballad with heavy club beats".

Regarding the new song -
This is your generic Max Martin / Dr Luke pop/rock song, complete with the structure and production. "My Life Would Suck Without You" anyone?

This is basically how power ballads sound. Power ballads are really, really different from just regular ballads. See power ballads in the 80s and some of the 90s lol.
I really like this, but it will flop if released.
Oh and I don't think it sounds anything like Dr. Luke Max Martin Kelly. If it did, I would feel more confident about it being a single. It sounds really, really dated in a good way, but not in the way that makes hit singles. Like, this needed to be released somewhere in the 80s or early 90s and it would have smashed hard. Now? No way.

People seem to think anything with good vocals is some kind of ballad these days. It is a reflection of the crap we have to listen to on the radio. This is not a ballad but an uptempo with great vocals.

Its an 80s power ballad with a contemporary club beat thrown underneath. People seem to only think a song is a "ballad" if it's the Whitney Houston type of ballad.

This is not a ballad but an uptempo with great vocals. Download a torrent of top 100 power ballads and this fits in perfectly. A POWER ballad is not the same thing as a BALLAD. Two different types of songs that happen to share part of a name. Like, rock and pop rock are two different things and sound very different even though both have "rock" in the name.

This is one of the rare moments that I like her song in the first listen. Just like "Teeth" and "Speechless"

I really like Edge of Glory a lot. So far, I like every song I hear from this era better than the last one. Edge of Glory >>> Judas >>>>>> Born This Way.
This is exactly what I wanted from her actually. Different, but not too out there. Serious, but not dark. Really good track.
I wonder if this could do something on radio? It'd be cool if something like this got airplay.

Reminds me of My Life Would Suck without you The instrumental? Because this song lyrically is completely different than MLWSWY.

I really like The Edge of Glory. It doesn't have a forced, complicated message to it like I feel BTW and Judas do. It's nice. Reminds me of My Life Would Suck without you This is nothing like the masterpiece that is MLWSWY.

The "I'm on the edge.." sounds like "Cuz we belong..". So it has 4 notes in common out of the whole song. I'm sure you could find a million other songs with those same 4 notes in a row.
