Clarence Clemons Featured in Lady Gaga's 'Edge of Glory' -- Video

Theres much more to GaGa than meets the eye, folks ! Let,s see........ 25 yrs.old, 5 grammy awards, 3 British Music awards, brought down the house at the Bill & Hillary Clinton Library Foundation Concert, performed & played piano with Sir Elton John, sang a marvelous jazz duet with Tony Benett, performed for the Queen of England, brought Howard Stern to tears ( imagine that ) when she played the piano,s acoustic version of " Edge of Glory " live in his studio, and also this ironic video with the late great sax man, Clarence Clemons and, most recently , she,s dropping the New Yrs. Eve Ball with Mayor Bllomberg, at his request. Whew !! This lady,s got it goin on, just like her new book factually states, " The Rise & Rise of Lady GaGa". I am a middle aged guy who personally witnessed the rise of The Beatles, The Stones, Zepplin, Journey. Fleetwood Mac & even Madonna,,& have greatly appreciated the top notch quality that these performers gave to my ears, my eyes & my heart through the decades past. For yrs., we have been hearing that Rock is dead, I like to believe that rock is only half dead. Never the less, rejeuvenation is occurring in ( quality music ) again, thankfully for the mind, imagination & song writing of one, NYC, Italian American girl, Lady GaGA. In closing, Congradulations to GaGa for winning her 6th Grammy in Feb. 2012. How do I know that, a month before hand, lol, it,s easy, because GaGa,,,, is simply & completley the BEST !!!

Wow, what an incredible video and song! Lady Gaga has all the right moves and she is sexy too boot -- men and women will love looking at her. Magnificent performance; drumming; sound; lights; everything perfect and of course the legendary Clarence Clemons who in his own right deserves to be on stage with all the other superstars. What a legacy to be remembered by -- lady gaga asking him to be in her video I bet he was beaming and had the time of his life -- here's to Clarence and Lady Gaga -- she is truly a great inspiration and makes me feel young again.

And God Bless the talented Clarence Clemons, his family, his friends and his fans. He was truly an incredible musician.

She is brilliant. Would I like her to come out in plain and normal clothing? Absolutely because she doesn't need the decorations. She is far better than Madonna ever was. But, I respect her work musically and I respect her devotion to people and causes. I think she is amazing and I am 55 years old.

Thanks for posting this. 1000memories created a tribute site for Clarence today - http://1000memories.com/clarence-clemons - thought you'd appreciate it.

Twice in the Edge of Glory video Gaga points to Clemons and sings, "I'm on the edge with you". And she was. The video is simple, because it is Gaga's tribute to a great man. No pyrotecnics, no special effects. Just Stephanie doing a the dance of life around Clarence Clemons in one of his last appearances on this earth. In retrospect, this is a remarkable song and video that functions on many dimensions.

I recommend everyone watch Gaga's Google interview, where at 51:42 she explains why she wrote Edge of Glory. Its about impending death. This song and video is a tribute to Clarence Clemons, written almost as prophecy. She must have sensed something. Gaga states Edge of Glory is about " the moment right before you leave the earth." Not long after making this song and video with Gaga, Clemons left this earth. We see him here, on the edge of glory.

No matter what she does, some critic is always going to say she's ripping off someone else. In case you critics are forgetting, everyone has copied someone. If she did some generic music video that went with the rest of the mainstream, you would either praise her for her vocals, or rip her apart for something else. If she does something creative or outrageous, you'll say she's copying someone. There's just no satisfying everyone. Just shut up and enjoy a person's hard work.

Boring video, She is not creative unless she is copying someone else. She is a blatant rip off of Dale Bozzio from Missing Persons
