Edge of Glory [Music Video]

Lady GaGa released the music video for Edge of Glory yesterday, and I'm sure everyone has opinions on it. Thankfully, I have hidden most people who post statuses about Lady GaGa from my facebook newsfeed, so I have yet to hear complainings and/or praise as of yet. I'm not sure how the rest of y'all feel, but I give an unenthusiastic thumbs up to this video.

Since GaGa has released such amazing music videos as Bad Romance and Telephone, I feel that expectations for all her videos are a little too high. There is nothing especially remarkable about this music video, but there is nothing bad about it either.

Edge of Glory is very straightforward. It reminds me of a pre-teen gay boy who got into his slutty sister's closet and had an impromptu one-man dance party on the set of Sesame Street in front of a homeless saxophone player. The dancing in this video is clearly not the best GaGa has done, but it is by no means bad. It reminds me of how I dance when I'm home alone with the music blaring (oh no, I've revealed too much!). The dancing feels familiar, fun, and playful. It's not bizarre or complicated, but we don't always need that from GaGa.

Besides all that, the song itself is amazing and as hairstyles go, the bob will never cease to be sexy.
