I'm sure the live performances of Judas will just get better as she keeps doing them. The Born This Way performance on the HBO special is much better than the first one at the Grammys (even though I liked that too).

I haven't watched the full HBO Monster Ball yet, just bits on youtube, and it looks amazing, makes me want to go see her again!

I swear promotion singles don't get cover art? Maybe it'll just be using one of the pictures from the booklet like there was with Dance In The Dark.

I wonder if it will be free. That would be a clever marketing move, everyone loves a freebie and the full album is coming in a couple of weeks.

"The Edge of Glory" cover art:

That should be the album cover!

I'm sensing a theme with her covers.

She doesn't seem to be wanting to spill many secrets about the album (booklet) art. We're getting everything from the same shoot.

Amazing picture

21st May there is a Gaga special on t4. What could it be?

Album chart show?

is the HBO concert 'available' anywhere to 'leech' yet?

Ugh...how are people still upset over the cover?

Honestly it is a great piece of art...I would say its honestly up there with Andy Warhol. It may not be boring gawdy fine art but its art with a message. Andy would have loved it!

Nice artwork

Forgive my ignorance, but is Edge Of Glory going to be an official single, or just a 'promo' single?

Promo, as Beautiful, Dirty, Rich was for The Fame... although that song got a video too, didnt it?

Here's a poem/song I wrote about GaGa:

Thine be the glory, GaGa, conqu’ring Sun;
Endless is the victory, Thou o’er critics hast won;
Monsters in dark raiment the Monster Ball they pray,
Kept the folded Mcqueen dress where Thy body lay.

Thine be the glory, GaGa, conqu’ring Sun;
Endless is the victory, Thou o’er critics hast won;

Lo! GaGa meets us, risen from the womb;
Lovingly She greets us, scatters fear and gloom;
Let the Monsters with gladness, pop of triumph sing;
For Mother Monster now liveth, rivals hath lost their sting.

Thine be the glory, GaGa, conqu’ring Sun;
Endless is the victory, Thou o’er critics hast won;

No more we doubt Thee, glorious Queen of pop;
Life is naught without Thee; we pray thee stay atop;
Make us more than conqu’rors, through Thy deathless love:
Bring us safe through ignorance to Thy home thereof.

o_0 I'm scared...

Have you lost your marbles dear?

Sectioning time?

It only got a video to promote Dirty, Sexy, Money in the US.

So beautiful——I'm crying.

EDIT: Judas rises three places to #20 in this week's chart. As good as can be expected to be honest, good news. I think there were some unrealistic expectations of the video's potential effect.

It was #30 in the midweek charts so for the video to make it go up 10 spots in 2 days is pretty amazing. I'm sure there will be people who will say its still a flop

Exactly, it was on a major downward slide over the last 2 weeks,and it's risen 10 places since the video came out on Thursday. Some were discussing the possibility of #1 which was never possible, so guys, this is very positive news

Judas by all accounts has flopped in the UK.

All eyes on the album now then as Lady Gaga could be on shakey ground soon enough. All the signs point to people being bored of her

Not really, it's risen 10 places in 3 days due to the video. I very much doubt it will pass its #9 peak but it seems people are still hearing it for the first time. It's just been out way too long to get its second wind IMO.

EDIT: Wow, Beyonce is actually above her, that will cause some friction.

Exhibit A
