NEW MUSIC: LADY GAGA & BEYONCE - “TELEPHONE (OFFICIAL REMIX)” + VIDEO NEWS

♫ Lady Gaga & Beyonce - Telephone (Remix)
The dynamic duo of Lady Gaga and Beyonce team up for Gaga’s second single from The Fame Monster, “Telephone.”
The original track was produced by Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, but the official remix was produced by State of Emergency, consisting of Donnie Scantz and Jahi Sundance.
And Concete Loop is giving you an exclusive first listen!
In addition to the release of the remix, Gaga and Beyonce shot a video for the single in Los Angeles last week. The high-concept video finds Beyonce breaking Lady Gaga out of jail. Famed film director Quentin Tarantino loaned the infamous “Pussy Wagon” from his cult classic, Kill Bill.
The video is rumored to be directed by Jonas Akerlund, who directed Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” short film, and will feature a cameo from singer/model, Tyrese. It is said to premiere on February 10th.

Telephone is a good track but Bey and Gaga collab was one that didnt have to happen. They dont compliment each other at all. Lady Gaga needs to start sayin no sometimes before she gets played out.
Im waiting for a rihanna/gaga track

I think the video would be crazy to. The treatment sounds hot and Gaga can pull off ANYTHING, unlike beyonce who struggles to pull of anything edgy and looks odd in anything that is not form fitting and sexed up. I admire girls like rihanna and ciara who can go from being glammed up to wearing sneakers and baggy sweats and still look sexy.

It makes perfect sense for Beyonce and Gaga to work together. They are the two hottest female artists dominating the game right now. I personally think Gaga took Rihanna’s spot and replaced it with talent, intriguing stage performances, and a new batch of catchy songs.

What a dumb statement to make that Gaga and Beyonce makes sense to work together becuz they are the two biggest females in music. Thats like saying micheal jackson and eminem should have made a sound since they were both big male artist.
Beyonces style of fashion and music is not cohesive with gaga AT ALL. Although her voice sounds awsome on the track, it sounds odd. As played as Rihanna may be and as much as beyonce can sing better than rihanna, she and gaga would have complimented each other much more. Its not secret that rihanna is much more versatile than beyonce.
And for the record Rihanna is not beggin to do a track with gaga, she said that they are waiting for the right track before collabing, unlike beyonce who was so quick to throw gaga on video phone….a track that does not suit her at all. Beyonce did the same with Shekira when she was hot, just throw on her a track, even though they had no chemistry.

Y’all do know that Rihanna & Bey don’t have the slightest issue with eachother and they’re actually cool…Bey was at her album listening party and Rihanna brought Julez on stage at the Grammy’s…Don’t be immature and CATTY there is room for everyone to succeed! But honestly the “Video Phone” video was WACK! (The video was cheap!) lol….@ Quentin Tarantino…TRUST ME! There is a lot of “Pussy” in that WAGON! Get Em Ladies!

I love Quentin Tarantino and Kill Bill, but wasn’t “Videphone” enough of a flop? All that hype for nothing.
I hear this song is ALOT better though, plus Gaga is leading it, and she hasn’t failed to reach no.1 yet.

#13? rihanna much more versatile than beyonce? b!tch bye!
just becauseshe switches everry album to a different genre doesnt make her versatile! beyonce not only on stage got versatility, but with her voice & sound! even her moves! u cant compare the two, beyonce sang a ba&llad fote president, newt thing u know,she is at the oscar din broadwa
29.
pppp
Friday, February 5, 2010 /
broadway, singin rock songs at the grammys, soul songs like resentment, accoustic satellites, pop wit radio, and so much more! thats versality! u cant find someone who sings at last for the president and is still able to shake her as in videophone! lol! wat rihanna does is cool & stuff but she just changes whenever she wants she doesnt own anything, not even talkin about the stage! everyone can do that, today im dancehall, tomorrow im pop anthe day after im hip hop thats why today she is floppin cuz her fans dont follow that switch
anyway, gaga and bey will havvideo of the year!

Hope this song doesn’t flop like Video Phone did. I wonder if Beyonce was embarrassed by it. It was so overhyped and that song flopped mad hard. This remix is ok, i hope they learn a lesson from Video Phone and put out a good video for this song.

@ MeMe
It makes sense for them to work together simply because it will bring two fanbases together and challenge both artists to adapt to each other’s styles. This type of collab benefits both artists.
Rihanna is only certified platinum due to the number of units shipped to the store. She has only sold GOLD.
Now, what I don’t understand is why she is brought up in the comments of a Gaga and Beyonce post anyway. Like another commenter said, they is no beef between the two, and the quicker you all quit comparing Beyonce and Rihanna the quicker you will realize this. There is no competition between the two, in actuality, and there’s room for both. Now Rihanna and Gaga is a different story…

I just wanted 2 shut this bitch MEME up! Look u stupid ass hoe if Beyonce wasn’t COHESIVE as GAGA and RIHANNA Gaga wouldn’t of found it neccessary 2 make a remix 2 this song nor have a video 4 it. Beyonce went to her first, and she returned the favor! That’s how it works! F.Y.I. GAGA is much more provocative and sexed up than Beyonce. I.E. “POKER FACE” VIDEO AND “LOVE/GAME” The bitch is nasty and obviously display no class. Beyonce ass shaking is originally from Africa, and that’s why nobody minds. It pays homage to her native roots! And believe me if a white bitch didn’t want an ass they wouldn’t have BOOTY POP in heavy rotation all over North America. Which is targeted towards lil skinny white hoes like Lady Gaga. Did you see a black person in the video? NO!
Oh yea, singing is not about fashion, and u must remember before the video was the radio! It’s all about your voice. I don’t mean to sound like a stan, because I’m not, but Beyonce is the most hardest working woman in show-bizness right now, and her voice is so powerful! Let’s take a look back at the GRAMMY whereas she was the only one that was able to sing over any hard hitting bass there was. That my friend is a power house. No one can out sing the girl right now. She didn’t need all the dramatics to sell her artist, but your girl Lady Gaga do. Single Ladies probably one of the most blunt videos since Fiest “1234″ but yet it’s video of the year, and everyone on Youtube imitated it.
So don’t talk to fast when you don’t what you’re talking about, because it’s always people like me only who catch that shit and shut it down. I don’t bull shit all my facts are 100% and straight forward! Just give the girl her damn props and stop hating!
We have one genuine black artist out there who is selling well above average than some of the white singers, and you’re all doubting her. FANTASIA’S NOT DOING WHAT SHE’S DOING, ALICIA KEYS AIN’T SELLING LIKE SHE US, JENNIFER HUDSON’S LOW KEY, KEYSHIA COLE FAMILY’S OWN CRACK, WHITNEY HOUSTON IS A RECOVERING DRUG ADDICT, BRANDY’S A MURDERER, AND MONICA TRYING TO RECOVER A CAREER THAT IS LONG GONE.
BEYONCE IS THE ONLY ONE OUT THERE KILLING BY HERSELF. So congratulate and be proud of the images we got out there.

At this point I’m going to stop responding to you dogmatic stans. It’s obvious that you have this uncontrollable, pathological obsession with these stars that you’re liable to say anything. It has been proven, and nonetheless nothing goes pass these blog comments. So not wasting my time anymore.
ONE MORE FACT:
What’s truly aesthetic about Beyonce is the erratic work she puts out there that makes her this PARAGON of what she do.
This woman released only 3 albums this decade in large intervals throughout the 10 year period, and each albums success spanned over two years. Now that’s what makes you an artist! That’s what makes you the harbinger of this industry. Her work was able to be stretched that long, because the quality was to good to go to waste. She has constantly proved that whatever she do she, she will continue to improve it, because nothing is never to perfect. I.E. or acting career. She’s very persistent with it.
Also @ John
You’re right I was a little abusive towards those girls. However, it’s only true, and until they step their game Beyonce will be holding it down for a moment.

I Am...Sick of that hoe

This is garbage at it’s best. The swagga-jacka has struck again. I expect something like this from GaGa, and I respect her for staying in her lane. Beyonce needs to sit her old a** down somwhere. She tanks hard for Video Phone and this mess. If ya’ll think this sounds hot, ya’ll need to be committed. Beyonce has no personality and always try to steal from someone else. She’s nothing without DC and Jay-Z.FACT!

@ chris! wow you definetly said a mouthful. And for the most part i agree. As far as this song it is just not for me it made my head hurt while listening.. And again it could be me. My opinion is only one of miany so anyway .. you right any body dissing ms. knowles-carter is definetly foolish …. what ever you think of her she was able to cross over like no other artist in the 2000 decade… that is why she broke a grammy record the other night… simply put america is not the only country in the world and we don’t determine anything. we just think we do. I am proud of her some of her songs are not for me but for the most part she has mastered the art of entertainment….. that is all it is …. this was probably her plan from the moment she started singing……. I remember in an interview back in 2003 or 2005 she said” I want to be financially independent by the time i am 30″ and guess what stans , haters and all others…….THE CHICK DID IT MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
