Up until this point in Gaga's videography, Gaga had never really had a misstep. Every video was either a delightful, fun, fitting music video, or an over-the-top, bizarre pop culture event. Here, Gaga films a very simplistic and 80's inspired video for The Edge of Glory, where Gaga dances outside a fire escape and Clarence Clemons plays a brilliant sax solo. The final result is not a mismatch to the song, and has grown on me, but does nothing to elevate the song. The reason for this video turning out like this? A fight that broke out between Joseph Kahn, the planned director and Gaga over "creative differences". Whether or not that video would've been better is up in the air.
