Did anyone tune into HBO’s Monter Ball Special last night? Moving right along…

So, the video premiere of “Judas” was just this past Thursday but Team GaGa is rush releasing the third single from Born This Way, “The Edge Of Glory.” Why such a quick release? Well if you look at the Billboard charts, “Judas” isn’t in the Top 5 which is not really the plan with this over-hyped era of GaGa. Along with that, maybe the radio is just a little tired of the RedOne + GaGa sound. We’re a little excited to hear this song after what Rolling Stone had to say about it, earlier this year:

“Edge of Glory” – This one sounds crazy in print — it’s a massive power ballad with heavy club beats that features Clarence Clemons of the E Street Band wailing on his saxophone — but somehow it all seems totally natural when you actually hear it. There’s an element of cheesiness to it, but it’s totally captivating and incredibly catchy. If any of these new Gaga tunes demands to be a big fat hit, this is it. The inclusion of Clemons is an inspired touch that amplifies the song’s Eighties stadium rock vibe, but his actual performance is amazing and ranks among the best of his career.[SOURCE]

GaGa herself tweeted the single cover of the single, which will premiere at 1pm EST tomorrow (May 9). Now tell us why was this image not used for the cover of the album. I mean we’re still waiting on an explanation for the official cover. Explained.
