[@immahittheworld3232]

BY THE WAY, The Edge Of Glory music video wasn't meant to be like that. Gaga was filming a kind of more conceptual video but in the middle of the production there were some misunderstandings about the creative ideas between Gaga and the director, Joseph Kahn and also, at that moment, the choreographer abandoned her so she had to stop the filming of it all and do this instead!!!

[@VasBasil]

But how could Laurieann abandon her during the making of TEOG if she is the choreographer and co-director for you&i video which was released after TEOG?

[@TrustedSiren]

That's not true, She wanted to reshoot the video so it was just her and Clarence as she was honoured to have him on the song, I watched an interview were a dancer spoke about the change as he was in the original

[@killlamas57]

@@TrustedSiren Celebrities often lie in interviews to tell a more interesting story than what happened. I’m reading the Beyoncé biography rn and this type of things happens all the time.

[@TrustedSiren]

@@killlamas57 “But somewhere along the way there was, to hear Laurieann tell it, "an issue." One that, according to Chancler, stemmed straight from The Haus of GaGa. "GaGa changed her mind and told Joseph what to do. His hands were tied. The director just didn't have control over GaGa after she started making changes [and] Joseph's concept died."

[@TrustedSiren]

@@killlamas57 She wanted Clarence in the video, it does make sense, he is The sax player for her fave artist

[@garrettchace]

TEOG is about being on the edge of life and death. The video ended up being a tribute to Clarence Clemons (the sax player) who died not long after they shot the video. They had an original concept with a different director, but apparently after Gaga found out Clarence was really sick, she wanted it to focus on just the two of them. The original director refused to change direction and didn’t even want Clarence in the video at all, so she fired him on set. I agree it’s one of her most disappointing videos at first, but once you know the reasoning behind it, I think it’s pretty beautiful.

HEYYY NO CAP ON (in the thumbnail) HAHAH IM EXCITEDDDD.....Get ready ARTPOP

[@m3rrys0ngstr3ss]

Jo Calderone was this alter ego she ran with for a while during the Born This Way era, and I figure the reason he was in the You and I video is that he bore a passing resemblance to Luc, the guy she dedicated this song to. As for the different set-ups in You and I, my working theory when I first watched it was that she and her guy would keep finding each other, no matter *what* weird scenarios they end up in.

[@fsmazz]

I feel like TEOG accidentally serves better as a tribute to Clarence's life and career (RIP) as opposed to a "regular" music video

[@christophermichael1686]

Good point.

[@riv3rss]

The original idea for Edge of Glory’s music video was meant to have mermaids and NYC bridges 🌉 and some magical shenanigans

[@riv3rss]

@juancho 211 yeah, I recall her disagreement with Joseph Kahn and Laurianne Gibson; but then she decided to recycle the mermaid idea for Yoü&I

[@nattanpires]

Without the hat! Yaaay!

[@hoemogenic]

TEOG music video is honestly gorgeous, it was not about the expensive production, it was about the vibe and the energy of it, since it's such an spiritual song. it's beautifully shot, the pink and purple hues are stunning, her versace outfit is gorgeous. it's truly a piece of art.

[@hausofash-zf8db]

I get choked up every single time she kisses the sidewalk. 🖤 🏙 🖤

[@Wuffskers]

My interpretation of most of the imagery in You and I, basically comes down to people of different worlds being in love and trying to make it work. She's this high fashion cyborg in the middle of these corn fields, she's gone from a place like New York or LA that's full of art and commerce to a more humble place, she's a fish out of water and she's gone through a lot to get to this strange place as you can see from her bleeding feet, she's putting in effort to deal with these differences because she wants to be with him. Or if we take the fish out of water metaphor more literally she's a mermaid in love with a human and he loves her and he's experimenting to find a way that they can be together even if they're from different worlds and it should be obvious they don't belong together, but that doesn't stop them from trying. Basically Shape of Water before Shape of Water.

[@immahittheworld3232]

The moment he watched Taylor Kinney topping Gaga loool 😭😭

Omg! The hair. 😍

I'M SO GLAD TO FINALLY SEE YOUR HAIR!!!!

[@omarreyes2971]

Can’t wait to ARTPOP reaction 🤙🏼

[@CafeDeDuy]

When you said “husband” for You and I, I got really sad. The male interest in the video is actor Taylor Kinney. He and Gaga met for the first time cause of this video, and they started dating. I believe they were together for years and was engaged.

[@Marrythenightgaga101]

You’re correct he even got her a diamond ring in February 2015 and I think they separated in late that year or early 2016

[@yigitkapusuz8484]

As live performances, I would recommend the 2011 GRAMMY's where she performed “Born This Way” or the 2011 VMAs where she performed “Yoü and I”.These were the most theatrical performances but she also did a thing called "A Very Gaga Thanksgiving" where she performed various song from the album without too much of a show.

[@christianchoto9970]

“A Very Gaga Thanksgiving” was beautiful!

[@juniorlks1]

As a die hard fan, watching TEOG video for the first time was one of the most disappointing things ever! The mermaid was supposed to be on that video, and the whole hype for it was just huge. But Gaga fought with the whole team because they had strong artistic disagreements and she fired everyone. Fortunately, You and I came afterwards and saved the whole era.

[@nicolassalcedo1336]

this era has so many good live performances, germany's next top model is one of my favorites or the one that she did hair in piano in france, i think the show is called taratata, and the tour was amazing too, born this way with the giant belly givin birth was amazing, and bloody marry

[@Andromedaxxstarz]

The Edge of Glory mv is supposed to be just her in freestyle form without any production or concept just a free young girl living with big dreams pouring her heart out to the world through the art of dance expressing her passion and love for music with nothing but her free spirit in this intimate moment with herself, that apartment complex has sentiment to her because its where she used to live and where it all started before becoming famous, wrote all her music and experienced all the hardships she had to endure that lead her to become the artist that she is today!! 💕I think the reason some didn't connect with it at first was because that intimacy was lost or not even noticed when trying to view the video through the lens of expecting something crazy and over the top to occur but the song itself is about this intimate moment with life making sense to its simplicity!!

[@axilatl]

For BTW era performances: Born This Way at the Grammys The Edge of Glory on American Idol The Edge of Glory on Howard Stern You & I at the VMAs Marry the Night at the EMAs All of the songs on Gaga's holiday special! You & I, The Edge of Glory, Marry the Night especially

[@erickmoran8508]

Why do you look like a younger version of Ellon Musk?

[@erikperhs_]

Actually, why not? Haha

[@appleface754]

If you’re reacting to performances, here are some suggestions: • Sheiße (Live on BTW Ball at Montreal, this is where her hip gave out after two long world tours and she had to cancel the remainder of her current tour) • Judas (SNL) • Born This Way (Grammy’s) • A Very Gaga Thanksgiving • Express Yourself x Born This Way (a petty jab from Madonna to Gaga)

[@danniel1431]

Yes that's the male version of gaga, it's his alter ego- Joe Calderone

[@pennyvas2174]

I remember watching TEOG mv for the first time and I was a little disappointed and amazed at the same time. The fact that I was waiting for a big mv like Judas but also watching a simple mv and Gaga was still able to show her art. Sometimes the simblicity ''tells'' more and Gaga showed many times that she can be simple and still be artistic and talented. Like it or not, I'm glad people taking the time to see Gaga's work.

[@VitorGabriel-dj6yz]

The next is ARTPOP, bro get ready for this underrated masterpiece

[@MiracleWinchester]

The absence of a cap shook me.

[@Tylerbolical]

The original concept for the edge of glory video was meant to be more abstract and have more stuff but Gaga felt in the last moments that she needed to have a simple video Clarence Clemons, And then he died right after the video came out

[@iloveot247]

Is nobody going to talk about his hat??? Awww good for you for recovering, at least a bit (?)

[@stilllovingGaGa]

I honestly quite enjoy the The Edge of Glory video, I mean it is quite simple but in my opinion it conveys this feeling of incredible happiness and freedom the song has so well. Every time I watch the video I'm just instantly happy.

[@DavidHendersonFarley]

The saxophone player is actually a really famous saxophone player who is unfortunately dead now.

[@Marrythenightgaga101]

Clarence Clemons. He sadly passed away two days after the video premiered on June 18th, 2011 (video premiered June 16th)

[@ivanfilho545]

The Edge Of Glory is such an amazing song and unfortunately it didn’t go the way Gaga intended, I stand her for not canceling the music video, that’s pretty cool, but it is boring 😕 Born This Way live performances: - Marry The Night at X-Factor - Born This Way at Grammys (first live performance of the era, and that means something, specially happening at a Grammy) - Hair at Paul O’Grady - The Edge of Glory/Judas at X-Factor

[@DaquanMusic]

Why or what caused them to change the Edge of Glory video?

[@GypsyRoseOfficial]

The original concept of The Edge of Glory was to feature Yüyi The Mermaid (way before Yoü and I was a single or even a video) a big underwater scene featuring mermaids, the New York Bay Bridge, A Latino love interest, military personal, scientists and doctors, these fire escape scenes, she was supposed to get her tail cut off in exchange for legs and explore NYC and meet her lover, etc. I think original concept was very inspired by the mermaid movie from the 90s Splash, plus The Little Mermaid is one of Gaga’s fave movies. They had even built the sets and everything for the video. But she states that once she got on that fire escape it didn’t need all that huge production. That’s when her and Joseph Khan got into the creative differences and parted ways since he wanted to go with the whole Mermaid story and she didn’t anymore. ☹️ it would have been iconic and Monsters were already so excited for the mermaid concept in the video that once the video premiered a lot of us were disappointed and confused. She explored this mermaid operation storyline in a live performance on a show called Le Grand Journal, but not a major performance. I’d recommend Born This Way at the Grammys!

[@ImJustinPineda]

The video for The Edge of Glory had one day of shooting with Joseph Khan but they had differences and they scrapped it, he didn’t end up directing it and she just ended up simplifying it entirely and doing what she did.

[@christopherdouglas1693]

Please watch born this way at the Grammy's and You and I at the 2011 VMAs

[@jarbasribeiro1992]

[@audreyboily9953]

Ahah a test Drive! I chocked 😝🤣 loved your reaction!!!

[@ikogarcia8122]

There was supposed to be a different music video for The Edge of Glory but Gaga and the director had a conflict with each other so the whole concept was scrapped.

[@TDMcD]

I kind of wish that he had watched this era in release order. I think that by going from BTW to Judas to MTN and then Y&I and EOG, he missed out on the feeling fans had when we were so let down by the Edge of Glory after getting the videos for the first two singles. And then the hype we felt as You and I redeemed her and she left the era on a high note with Marry the Night.

[@danielm6164]

The funny thing is that The Edge of Glory video probably had the biggest budget, many sets were built and set up but there were many issues on the set and Gaga just ended up using one of the sets and shot a quick video there without the original director.

[@DavidHendersonFarley]

I love Gaga and I love your Deep Dive. You bring such new perspectives to it plus bring back so many memories

[@heirloom906]

Gaga wanted TEOG’s music video to be simple. Her past videos had been intricate, elaborate and huge before this, and in this video she just wanted to celebrate herself and how far she’d come in terms of her career. At 25, she was the biggest superstar on the planet at that time. The song was able to shine, mostly because of its simple music video.

[@poulllorca]

I’m excited for you to dive into the ARTPOP era AAAAAA 😫😩

[@123ambroselee]

I love The Edge of Glory. It was written for her grandpa “who pushed edge into his glory” she said that he was a great man and even in his last minute on the edge of life he made it seem so glorious.. hence the edge of glory... I happen to like the video but mainly cause I feel like running around and dancing when I listen to this song! It’s a vibe the sax goes hard and I love that part too.. That’s my comment and opinion lol

[@camillecomeau6939]

That "Male Lady Gaga" is Jo Calderone, a model. In June 2010 he shot for the autumn/winder fashion editorial of Vogue Men Japan. Gaga said nothing about it, letting the mystery go about that new model who looks like her. Of course, it's Gaga in disguise :)

[@gabrieldally6044]

The edge of glory mv is supposed to be low key, it shows her star power. All you need is her.

[@mayconavarrete9799]

[@johnaeronrosales1197]

Lady Gaga's The Edge of Glory music video is like her own Bilie Jean music video. A cultural reset if you ask me

[@SongInstrumentals4U]

I always thought that the red light in the building in TEOG video is supposed to represent a fire. The video is her celebrating and dancing through her last moments on earth which is what the song is about and when she climbs back through the window at the end that’s her accepting her death and being at peace with it.

[@fajarfadli2150]

I think the guy in the You and I MV is a doctor who ended up falling in love with Yuyi the mermaid and tried to make her a human (all of the crazy experiments in the video) so that they can be together, and it worked and they got married. However, they still had differences and parted ways, but then Yuyi realized that despite all of those differences, they were still in love and decided to come back with him even with bloody feet.

[@pepperpepper4706]

if i remember it correctly the mermaid concept should be in the edge of glory video, but like there was a problem with the video director or something so she just like made the simple video for this song and put the whole mermaid stuff in you and i, idk maybe im wrong it was like long time ago lol

The edge of glory music video was the beginning of the end for gaga, she was constantly betrayed and back stabbed by her team and people she worked with, ( and fame was starting to get to her head tbh ), it really shows more in ARTPOP, she cried a little in some interviews and she quit pop music for YEARS, until recently actually, with CHROMATICA

[@jjhall1963]

She wrote it when she saw her grandfather at her dying grandmother's side, The will be in glory when they both die and will be together.

When starting the Artpop era, you should add “Cake” and “Stache (Princess High)” to the Artpop discography. They were released for download before the album dropped.

[@prinlinked]

I like to think the Edge of Glory music video signals that happiness and glory are at most times a private and more solitary thing. So that's why she made it lowkey. This is, of course, my take on it

[@prinlinked]

And by this I mean she is happy by herself and proud of herself. I mean, look at the power she radiates. Jesus

[@garrettchace]
