If "The Edge Of Glory" sounds like an anthem from an '80s flick — perhaps "Out On The Edge" from The Heavenly Kid? — the video only amplifies it with a stoop set-up starring the late, great E-Street Big Man Clarence Clemons that's straight outta "Waiting On A Friend" and a non-stop solo dance performance by Gaga on an impeccably clean NYC backlot set. Depending on how deep you wish to wade, it's a video of Gaga dancing in place for 5:28, or it's a punkish no wave rejection of the complexity that previously defined her. I personally like to think it's Gaga imagining what kind of video Wendy O. Williams would have made if she went pop.--> watch "The Edge Of Glory"
