Lady Gaga & “The Edge of Glory” + Tupac Movie Details

A new track off Lady Gaga's forthcoming album, Born This Way is now available on iTunes. “The Edge of Glory” has a catchy power balled chorus and follows the mold of a basic pop song, much like her "Just Dance" days. Many are already calling it our summer's pop anthem. I see how big it could get, but I'm not completely convinced. It features a saxophone solo by Clarence Clemons of the E Street Band which gives the song an older sounding pop vibe. Actually, if you get rid of the glittering synth beat, it could have been released in the 80's. Listen below.
 
Lady Gaga - "The Edge of Glory"


Speaking of Gaga, last week the video for “Judas” was released and is as bizarre as everyone assumed it would be. In it we see the unfolding of a love triangle; Gaga is in love with Jesus (leader of a biker gang and wears a golden crown of thorns over his golden corn rows). Yet she also has a thing for one of his biker disciples, Judas. The video includes tons of religious imagery; the washing of the feet, the stoning of Mary Magdalene, etc, etc. I'm surprised there hasn't been a massive religious uproar about the video, besides ridiculous comments via YouTube. Gaga herself is a Catholic and is using religion as a metaphor. But if you think that would somehow offend you, then do not watch the video below.

In other news, late rapper Tupac Shakur had written a screenplay before his passing that will soon hit the big screen. During his 11-month stay in prison for weapons possession, he wrote a script about a teenage drug lord who attempts to correct his life. Currently titled “Live 2 Tell,” it is set to go into production in early 2012. For more details, click here.
