There's a difference between changing the pace from her previous video's, and making a video like this. The song is about her Grandfathers death. It's about life coming to the end, and being on the 'Edge of Glory'. The most this video says is "I'm on the edge of a balcony with a severe lack of charisma". Don't get me wrong. I love the song. It just deserves better. There's a video where someone has cut it to go with Marry The Night. Much, much better.

The Edge of Glory video is terrible. It's nothing like what the song demands. "Dancing" in the street for 5 minutes is just not good enough. It speaks volumes when the (brilliant) Google Chrome advert she did accompanying the song is miles better.

One of her best in absolutely ages. I love all the silly little references. Cross Roads 2: Cross Harder. This, coupled with her genuinely decent dancing and live singing on the tour makes me happy to be a Britney fan. It's nice to see her actually wanting to be there again.

Just got woken up by a drunken phone call from my boyfriend as he was making his way home. I'm literally just laughing, but he appears to think we're having a conversation. Best bit so far being: "You think I'm allergic to life don't you? Like, you're not, but you think I am and it makes me sad, Josh. I don't want to be allergic anymore. I don't need to get a taxi! I have enough legs for the walk home! You know, yeah. Just think of a minge. But, the worst bit. The flap. That's you!".

A life without cheese is a terrifying prospect.

Thanks for the suggestions. I really should have written a list of the ones I've seen, but that would have taken countless hours. Salt is a favourite of mine, and I've seen Se7en a number of times now. I watched State of Play a few days back and enjoyed it, but Russel Crowe just lacks something that I can't quite put my finger on. I'm always left not wanting more when watching his performances. I've had a habit of purchasing everything that's been up for Best Picture for the past few years, and have so far managed to watch everything from '99 upwards. I still fail to understand the praise The Departed recieved. It's a decent film. Nothing more, nothing less.

I need Bridesmaids in my life. Oh, and can anyone recommend me some good thrillers to watch, perhaps with a journalistic/political twist? I've become tired of fruitlessly searching the internet.

It was! Awful film. I also loved that even after continual awkwardness, we felt the need to keep trying. Shame on us both. Genuinely glad you're in a good place now though, it's most deserved.

I've never comsumed so much wine than in those couple of months we had a few dates. Like you say, looking back on it is just hilarious. A few months back, I was up late watching some abysmal obscure (I think it was animated?) film, before I realised it was one we'd ended up sitting through one time at my old accomodation. What makes it funnier is that after the whole debacle with Chris, I then ended up with him. Genuinely didn't see it coming. I also love that we were so awkward together, that you felt the need to leave Sheffield. :p

I'm offically alone in the house, now my last housemate has moved out. Cue never getting dressed and dancing to Britney at 2am. I did however fall over and get carpet burn on my ass. I feel this was probably deserved.

I genuinely can't think of a single notable argument had since we started over in February. There's no more stepping on each others toes, if we have an issue then we'll discuss it, and it just genuinely feels like we're doing it right. It's an incredibly nice feeling to have, rather than the awful imprending feeling of "this is going to end" had previously. We're practically living with each other in a few weeks however, so I'm hoping this doesn't impede the situation. Plus I doubt either of us could ever find another partner. We're far too odd.

It just wasn't working for either of us. We'd gotten to a place where we'd taken the relationship for granted and neither of us could see why we were together in the first place, though more him than me at that point. So, it ended for a couple of months. Two months of literally nothing but trying to get over each other, trying to keep apart and failing completely lead to realising we'd just been doing it all wrong. I just wish we'd have matured a little sooner, so as not to waste those two months. Plus, dating is the most terrifying experience. I'm awful at first impressions. Ask anyone I've ever been on a date with. I don't think I've been on a date that I've not had to throwback a glass of wine beforehand.

Amazing. I hope this was an intended reference to Will an Grace. -- Happily in a year and a bit long relationship myself. Minus one obvious blip a few months back. Though, I'm kind of glad of said blip. Realising what was wrong allowed us to fix it.

Having a friend from back home up until Sunday. I'm so excited! She's the kind of friend that does this: Everyone needs a friend like that. Plus, the last time I saw her, I managed to lose her in a terrifyingly large crowd at a festival. I found her purely because she was wandering around shouting "My gay! Has anyone seen a gay!". I've missed her so much.

I loved the last half an hour or so, but the rest wasn't anything spectacular like I had hoped.

It just felt required after seeing her campaign for her latest single "Last Friday Night". I think she's so successful purely because, minus all the little quirks and such, she's the last remaining traditional American pop-star. There's no hidden agenda, it's just straight forward American pop. Teenage Dream is an undeniably brilliant pop song. The fact she's blatantly about to match Michael Jacksons record of having 5 Number 1 singles from one album is kind of unimaginable when thinking back to when she was simply "that one that sings about kissing girls".

I was just getting changed whilst listening to some music, when Wynter Gordon's "Till Death" came on. I immediately dropped the t-shirt and pair of trousers that were in my hand and began dancing manically around the room. As the final chorus kicked in, I noticed the guy who lives on the opposing side of the street glaring at me with judgemental eyes through his bedroom window. I'm filled with half-naked shame.

Today has been awful. I awoke to a house-mate knocking on my door screaming through it telling me I'd made the house a mess whilst she was gone. This mess, I politely said to her, was a couple of plates by the sink and my washing drying on the radiator. She proceeded to scream at me, call me pathetic and disgusting, and then her boyfriend began having a go. I told him to "Back the fuck off" and he stormed upstairs bashing on my door, telling me to say it to his face. Wonderful.

90 things Prince Phillip has said in 90 years.

Couldn't agree more. She's the perfect example of a truly modern pop-star. It's made me appreciate Edge of Glory so much more. The few glimpses of seeing her walking across the bridge with New York looking like it's about to engulf her, just adds so much. Engulf is such an ugly word.

I wish she'd just extend the parts of her running through New York, and make that the video for Edge of Glory. That, or Marry the Night.

I genuinely don't understand this show. They put through people with absolutely no talent whatsoever, which just makes it a complete joke and means half the time it comes across as no better than a school talent show. Though, maybe that's just me.

I have relatively few incredibly close friends. After 2 years in Sheffield, I'd say there's only two people I know for sure I'll be in touch with throughout my life. Good friend wise, I haven't even got that many. I'm far too picky. I cant be doing with wasting my time with people I just "get on" with. I want to know people I feel I have an actual connection with, something that's worth my time and input. Basically, when I actually make the effort to make a friend, I do it for life. Otherwise, I just don't see the point. It takes me a long time to gain an emotional attachment, so if there's nothing really there, I'm just incredibly fickle. That connection you have with people is just incredible. I've been friends with Han for over 8 years now. In the past two years that I've been in Sheffield and she's been in Cambridge, I've only ever seen her once or twice during term times, and then holidays. Yet, we instantly have that connection, even if it's been 6 months. That connection where you finish each other's sentences, somehow manage to think to text each other at exactly the same time, or where a quick glance says a thousand words.
