MUSIC VIDEO: LADY GAGA ft. BEYONCE – “TELEPHONE”

The dynamic duo of Lady Gaga and Beyonce join forces again for Gaga’s second single, “Telephone,” from what she considers her second album, The Fame Monster.

The two filmed the video a few of weeks ago in Los Angeles. The clip was directed by Jonas Akerlund, who directed Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” short film, and features a cameo from singer/model/actor, Tyrese Gibson.

    Song is wack, video is garbage, their styles and voices do not mesh well….and HOW are some of yall calling this artistic when it’s full of PRODUCT PLACEMENT? Art and capitalism are like Beyonce and GaGa, they don’t go together. This is all gimmick and lemmings eat it up. I swear every other blog I’ve been to today they people have rightfully trashed this trash azz mess, but come to CL and it’s like the mindless stans Olympics or something. Ugh!

  2. CECE

    SOOOOOO fucking sick of this dumb shit…STOP IT!!! JUST MAKE MUSIC for crying out LOUD….. Im officially boycotting music until real talent comes back..i dnt care for fashion when i want to hear good music…..so sick of this shit for real!!!!

  3. ms.fuego

    it was indeed epic, I loved it, I do agree that “honey b”‘s acting wasn’t so good but it was seriously one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. As a serious fashionista I am in love w/all the costumes and shoes. Hands down these two can not be stopped and I’m actually beginning to enjoy when people hate on beyonce..I’m not a huge “honey B” fan but I do like her a lot and all the jealousy towards her is fascinating. I’ve been a Gaga stan since the beginning so she def didn’t disappoint..once you kill a cow you gotta make a burger

  4. HOTTIME

    Here go this tranny bringin h*mosexuality to the forefront. Thats her main agenda. She always thankign gays every chance she get. She wants all to be gay. All this homesexuality they forcin on these kids in these tv reality shows on vh1, mtv, and all the modelin shows. And forcing it on them in music. It’s no wonder these children are confused and misguided. I feel sorry for people with kids those under 18. They turnin them into f*ggots and jayz brain washin them into goths.

  5. ms.fuego

    wow@ the holier than though fake christians..you obviously know nothing about Gaga if the “gay” undertones in the video bothered you because she happens to be a strong advocate for the gay and lesbian community(and I find it ironic that I personally am straight and the lesbian parts of the video didn’t stand out to me or bother me at all..how thankful I am that I’m not some close minded wannabe). I happen to be catholic but as a person that truly believes in God I don’t think I have any right to judge anyone else or down them for how they choose to express themselves. As for those of you commenting on this not being for children…it actually has a parental guidance advisory before it’s played on t.v. and why are you letting your kids watch music videos anyway? For the idiots who claim that those of us who like the video must be “sick” or “have no sense” no dumb dumbs we simply take it as just a video and move on w/life…you should try it. I’m a grown woman and no one tells me how to think nor do I follow the crowd so I am so surprised by how lame and one sided “our own” are..grow up please and try thinking for yourself for once.

  6. Waiter

    WOW if had kids i would not let them watch this sh*t. it promotes homsexuality like a mutha f***a. i mean wtf did i just see? sumbinal messages all up in dat video. corrupting the lil girls minds having them want to have sex with eachother sicking

  7. Trotlikefire

    Wow Lady Gaga’s camp is deep on this post. It’s so obvious you people don’t post here on a regular basis. How much is she paying you? Were you able to make rent this month or are you interning?

  8. Trotlikefire

    That was at you Ms.Fuego. The video sucked. Stop trying to promote the garbage of Tranny Caca. That video was trash. She looked like a cracked out corpse dancing in the prison with the other pasty bodies. Beyonce wasn’t any different. They captured her true essence, a puppet and doll. As for Tyrese, it’s unfortunate they made him play the stereotypical role of a black male…aggressive, chauvinistic and rude.

    You people are raving savages. To sit here and watch a video that depicts murder and praise it. Customers being poisoned followed by a ritualistic dance in the presence of the dead corpses and you call this artistic, epic, creative and great? How perverted and inhumane. And no it is not just entertainment. Viewing such shocking images eventually desensitizes you to it

    Today’s society is truly twisted and backwards. A mass of followers with no self identity. You need another human being to praise and make you feel better about your insecurities.

    I’ve posted this response on another website, so I’m just going to paste same response I gave on other sites:

    OK, this is what this is:

    A take on the Roger Corman flicks of the ’60’s (hence the polished bad girl, red lipstick, beer can hair rollers, straight up “Faster Pussycat, Kill, Kill” movie) Beyonce’s Bettie Page hairdo…

    A take on the ’70’s chain gain/women prison flicks (Black Mama/White Mama, Chained Heat etc)
    A bit piece on Kill Bill Vol 1 (In which Quentin Tarantino said was based on kung fu and exploitation flicks he watched in the ’70’s).

    A bit of Thelma and Lousie kicked in.

    I give them an A- minus because for today’s audience, it is different, if one is not familiar with where this came from you’re lost.

    I give Lady GaGa credit for becoming VERY DIFFERENT, nothing like her since Madonna.

    I give Beyonce credit for doing something VERY DIFFERENT than what she usually does.

    That’s it. Creative yes, epic, cinematic masterpiece, NOPE.

  10. WhatIThinkIs

    And the MTV Video Music Award goes to….

  11. Jenn

    I saw blatant product marketing in the video. I saw the ‘pushing’ of cigarettes, lesbianism, gender-bending and MURDER w/no consequence, being targeted at our youth! Also, she is a pure MADONNA rip off artist as well as stolen Janet & Michael Jackson dance moves! Yes, it is definitely some form of “raw and open rage against the machine” or satanism if you will and ya girl, B, is definitely part of this dark machine!

  12. LUCIFER

    I love it i love it! Homos, Death, and Beautiful B!tches singing gotta love it. All apart of my plan… On to the next one!

  13. Kati..| [B.]

    I liked it. It was very entertaining to watch.
    I love all Lady GaGa videos. I also love Beyoncé and I ain’t hatin, I think it’s cool she did something very different from her usual. Ain’t nothin bad about it.
    @ #249 MONI, u are right.
    @ #245 MS.FUEGO – I agree, it is parental advisory and all, and i don’t think kids should be watching that kind of videos either, this is more for the grown folks. But u don’t have to let ur kids be watchin this thing, u can control what they should watch.

    Anyway, I think this was overall a very good video, and the acting was supposed to be like that, they did a good job. It was fun, also visually very good, great fashions & choreography.

    *****

  14. KRISTINA

    All these comments and not a word from Judah—> I am genuinely shocked! LOL

    Truth is the video sucked really bad and it just highlighted how over hyped and manufactured both Lady Gaga and Beyonce are. I also thought that Beyonce looked really ugly in this video, am I the only one that thought that? The director seemed to emphasis all her ugly features and she seemed lazy in the choregraphy routine and also big an frumpy.

    Lady Gaga did not look any better either, she has lost a heck loada weight over the last two years and not for the better either. She looks sickly, thin and pasty and most of all LOST. She just seems to be in another world and all the recent sightings of her have shown her to have a lost, distant, spacy glazy look in her eyes. Her dance routines lack the energy that they once had and her whole persona as of late just seems weak.

    Fame can definitely kill you, especially if you havn’t got the right persona to handle it. Most of these celebrities are vunerable people that need fame to validate who they are as a person. Lady Gaga seems to demonstrate that theory well and so does Beyonce.

    All in all they are both over played and they are beginning to get boring, to me they both have no talent its all illusion. They will never be in the same catorgory has people like MJ.

    I think we really need to see new talent in the black scene, because Beyonce is getting on my nerves and Lady Gaga has reached her peak and thats in the space of like two years! We have seen it all with her, the nolvety has worn off… I am bored and I know most of y’all are to!

  17. Maybe It's Becos I'm A Londoner...

    I echo all of the above comments…This video was a big let down. Just wish Tyrese had a bigger and better part cos he’s jus too fyne!!!

  18. emily

    @ tiff.will and jeff: CO-SIGN!!!!!!!!!
    @ i love this game: Lmao, u’re a big FOOL. So you think Beyonce is selfish because she’s not letting Solange get some shine? since when was Solange’s failure Beyonce’s fault? If you’ve got nothing SENSIBLE to say, stop leaving comments you dumbass hoeanna stan. Your anger has made you soo stupid!

    Hoeanaa stans can go to HELL. This video is FIRE! Two of the most talented ladies in the game have put your medicore favorites to shame!

    And if you think this video will ‘make people turn into homeosexuals’, then you are extremely INSANE and very IGNORANT

    @ meme, you’re a hoeanna stan. Gtfoh and stop trynna justify yourself. You idiots were the same ones that called Russian Roulette epic Lmao. Gtfoh

  19. Kris

    I actually like the video. Beyonce in a video! wow….she’s not standing in front of a camera dancing around like shes never seen herself before….wow! lol

    Gaga looks like Madonna in the black and white. It has a movie feel. I can actually watch this one again!

  20. Conscious Muzik

    It’s funny, the public gives the okay for a video to show you how to poison someone as soon as the 2010 US Census is about to drop.

  21. PLAINSIGHT

    Funny how all the homosexuals murder all the straight people. They then celebrate the success of their plan with the dance routine dressed in the American Flag and other homosexuals in it’s colors. What message is she trying to send about America?

  22. Anon

    The Madonna Scene with Cans in Hair: Who’s That Girl (Madonna) when she was calling Leo on the phone.
    The Madonna scene in the yard kissing other women who were dressed as men: Justify My Love (Madonna) concept was to show men dressed as women and women dressed as men
    Thelma & Louise

    This is not creative, it has all been done before.

  23. truthfullyspeaking

    This was seriously, ONE OF THE WORST VIDEOS THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN! WTF was that sh**? People are so brainwashed with the music industry, that they really think that this was some kind of musical genius type sh**! It was very NASTY and degrading. Gaga had said that her photos and videos aren’t sexual, but she was damn near naked in the video. Having your a** and tiddies showing with pasties… really? I can’t believe this is even allowed in a music video. The video did not express/match the song whatsoever! Gaga is the type of person who makes up a bunch of crazy stuff and make-believe that it’s genius and true art! Beyonce looked like a fool and it’s embarrassing seeing her try to act. They did not compliment each other at all. It was very awkward seeing them with each other. What has our music industry come to? This is manufactured bs.

  24. I LOVE THIS GAME

    LADY CACA COULD NEVER BE That Girl (Madonna) .

    SHE’S TRYING HARD , AND HER FAN’S LOVE SAYING THAT .

    Madonna had Really Talent , She was very sharp .

    Madonna was not pretty , But lady CACA is so unattractive it scary , she Not on Madonna level .

    But I MUST SAY LADY CACA WAS SHARP , WHEN SHE TRICKED BEE INTO THIS VIDEO .

    Due to Beyonce desperation to be in the SPOTLIGHT , She got Beyonce fooled into Doing a role , that was very VERY VERY VERYYYYYYYYY unflattering for Honey – Bee career .

    THAT’S SAD

    WHERE WAS JAYZ ? ? ? ?

  25. Mello

    Saw the video and it’s unique…..I’m kinda surprised that Beyonce would do a video like this, but I guess she’s breaking out of her shell…..I always found Bey boring but this here is kinda impressive…..Cool video…not gon lie!

  26. KEEP IT 100

    THIS VIDEO WAS BULLSH!T. POINT BLANK PERIOD. TRANNY GAGA IS STARTING TO GET ON MY NERVES WITH ALL THIS STUPID SH!T SHE IS DOING AND BEYONCE HAS OFFICIALLY LEFT HER R&B ROOTS (BACK WHEN HER MUSIC WAS ACTUALLY GOOD) I DON’T KNOW WTF SHE IS TRYING TO PROVE BUT SHE NEEDS TO STOP RIDING ON GAGA’S COAT TAILS. IT MAKES HER LOOK DESPERATE FOR THE SPOTLIGHT. CLEARLY SHE HAS RUN OUT OF IDEAS SO NOW SHE IS LATCHING ONTO OTHER SUCCESSFUL WOMEN (GAGA, ALICIA). SHE IS PATHETIC AND SO ARE THE PEOPLE CALLING THIS VIDEO EPIC. SMH. MUSIC IS DEAD.

  27. hh

    Devil Worshipers. NOT HOT BEYONCE. THis was not a good look B. You lost me as a fan.

  28. FEDUP

    LOL @ 252

    You won’t win!

  29. Tonya

    Beyonce could you please get out the way so some real talent can shine through!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  30. boni

    just watched as much of this video as I could stomach. Good job illuminati, what an example to set! Homos are huge now and no surprise benonce does anything for money. This is so sad and we are living in a sad state if this is the low we have sunk too!!!!

  31. Vivian

    HORRIBLE! Beyonce is doing whatever it takes to hang on to the word SUPER STAR STATUS and it is not working; not even with Lady GaGa. Bey can dance with all the LESBO she want but it still won’t make it better.

  32. Mz. LA

    CAN I HAVE EVERYONE’S ATTENTION PLEASE!!

    I need you all to compare comment #237and #265. Notice how large caps are sometimes used in the text, the improper spacings before and after a period or a comma, (and yes I know this is not a typing class but I need yall to just compare them, lol), notice the double spacing, the constant reference to Jay z even though he is not even in this post. Do people really need to make up multiple screen names to get their points across? It’s not that serious! At least try to change format!!

    Btw,, I am not a bey or gaga fan but RiRi is NOT the world’s greatest entertainer. We all are going to need you to stop referring to her in every damn post. Please get over it! This has to be a child in elementary school.

  33. Mz. LA

    I don’t know what happened to my previous post but the third paragraph was for “I love this game,,,,,”

  34. Monique1974

    I didn’t like it at all. The minute I realized that the video had NOTHING to do with the lyrics to the song, I knew something else was up. Back in the day, when you looked at a video, most of the time it went with the meaning of the song. But just like with “Videophone”, this video here makes absolutely no sense at all. It looks like a bunch of clips thrown together. Their sending out messages, that’s for sure. You have the portrayal of lesbianism all throught the video as well as the scene of them dancing in the diner around all of the poisoned dead customers. Now, if that isn’t sick and twisted, I don’t know what it is. I would expect this from Lady GaGa. She was all ready weird from the word “go”. But, what in the world has happened to Beyonce? I really used to enjoy her music. But now, she’s on some other stuff that I can’t seem to explain.

  35. TOO EACH THEIR OWN

    RAUNCHY VIDEO, BUT I LIKE IT.

  36. Ann

    Lesbian porn!! R they going to show that on TV?? WTH I dont want the little ones seeing that mess! This is getting out of hand. And did anyone catch the skull and bones symbolism. And why are the biggest stars teaching people how to poison and do mass homicides?? WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!!!

  37. karentaylorbabe2

    people are being more and more desensitized every day,with this garbage.yes it’s only a video or only a movie NOT SO ! ask yourself when did you as a human decide that it’s ok to see murder ,poison,lesbianism,violence, and pure evil ? entertainment used to have a concept and lift up the spirit not dark evil images. those who know to be careful what your eyes see and ears hear this is simply to promote their agenda and how can one involve themselves in acting out murder then dance to it ?this is satanic as they come . it is going to get worse ,when you serve the devil you always have to take it higher and degrade yourself more and more. think back when beautiful beyonce was doing decent songs and dressing appropriate , she slowly took it up higher and higher now look at her. her make up is always looking too harsh she dresses like a street walker dances sexually even while her father sits in the front row staring at her sooo inappropriate! she always looks to be in a trance except when she does interviews ,most of the time she looks sad when she’s not putting on the same fake beauty pageant smile. this poor child of god needs some divine godly intervention she can’t slow down and maybe she wants to but can’t for whatever reason. i respect the fact that she is a hard worker but what happen to beyonce ?seriously something is very wrong she is going through something only time will expose it. all those fans who are infatuated with her see a dream lifestyle but we have no idea what goes on behind closed doors . i feel sorry for her as a person for some reason that stays on my heart every time i see pictures of her or listen to her interviews. i discern something sinister going on with her and jay z and it’s hard for her to get out. please baby girl beyonce get back to depending on god .he blessed you and the powers that be turned your image to look trashy and demonic . we see you have the talent,looks and voice and tell me who decided gyrating half naked on stage was a good idea wearing all that make-ui hiding your true beauty .who let’s there wife expose herself to the world something is not right and all things done in the dark will come to the light and when it does there will be a lot of folks shocked back to reality and some probly still in denial.

  38. DamnClown

    damn has Judah been assiassinated by the illuminati? We need to start a where is Judah campaign!!!

  39. jordan

    you gotta understand how this video ties a lot of their videos together…from video phone to paparazzi and bad romance…it’s like a mini series…you gotta look at the big picture…i think it’s great…this gives beyonce more edge…i would love to see her in a female prison movie…

  40. EnameL

  41. Sick

    Ri will want to copy this video now since she loves to copy Bey!

    She copied Destiny Child’s ” where they at where they at” from their song “Soldier” Feat T.I and Lil Wayne and put it in her “Hard’ video. She is riding Bey’s coat tails all the way!

    I see Rihanna copied Destiny’s Child ” where they at, where they at” and put it in her ‘Hard’ video!

    They sing it from 2:07. Check it Out!

    youtube.com/watch?v=qFJ3VKnwmJw

    Wait and See!!!

  42. damiennphilly

    OKAY….. I LOVED THIS VIDEO I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE CONSIDER EPIC BECAUSE THEY SMASHED THIS VIDEO AND THE SONG IT SELF WILL JUMP TO NO.1. THE VIDEO SHOT TO NO.1 IN MATTER OF MINS AFTER THE PERMIERE ON ITUNES . BEYONCE WAS JUST HOTTT IN THIS VIDEO, SHE BLOW BE AWAY IN THE DANCING DEPARTMENT, I KNEW BEYONCE CAN DANCE BUT SHE TOOK IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL IN THIS VIDEO. LADY GAGA IS THE NEW IT GIRL PERIOD.SHE IS SO EXTREME AND HANDS ON WITH HER PROJECTS THAT SHE IS 2010 IT GIRL IN MY BOOK.

  43. damiennphilly

    LMAFO……… OKAY I GAVE MY OPINION ON THE VIDEO NOW AM GOING TO GIVE MY OPINION ON SOME OF YOU ON HERE. LEARN TO APPRECIATE SOMETHING DIFFERENT THEN WHAT YOU’RE USE TOO.EVERYBODY IS SO CAUGHT UP ON BEYONCE ACTING SKILLS AND THE LESBIAN SCENES( HELLO PEOPLE GAGA IS BI-SEXUAL, SHE LIKES MEN AND WOMEN.WOMEN TURNS HER ON.(LOL)

  44. Ra-Ra

    This video was awful…..and scary!!! I can’t believe people actually like this garbage!!!

  45. Ra-Ra

    People are soooo obsessed with Beyonce. Even though this is Gaga’s video, people are still criticizing Beyonce! Beyonce has to cooperate with Gaga, being that it’s her awful video!

  46. Lavi

    Video = terrible.

    =/= Innovative, fresh, creative, etc. when (as someone pointed out once) the “concepts” have been blatantly pulled from various movies. Then, it’s a big ass commercial.

    Artistic? Yes, art is interpretive. I’ll leave that alone.

    Still trash. Entertaining? Maybe to the simple-minded? Whatever. Carry on.

  47. buttersotch

    Pure garbage. The video has not stubstance other than Lady Gaga potraying
    B as her woman, but B is so dence she probably didn’t even get it.

  48. G

    2 hot talented women= hot video.
    2 thumbs up!

  49. G

    #287 B is making millions and millions of dollars every year, so she is no dummy.

    YOU are on a blog watching a video SHE is in, so who’s the dummy?

    I love how idiots like you, like to call celebs dumb, when they rich and your broke ass behind a computer hating. smh

    Damn Honey Bee is really the shyt. All the haters she got proves that. Jealousy is something else.

  50. what'sgoingon?

    @ 291 who ever told you that making money is the answer to all things life related? Was michael jackson a happy person?like you seem to have expressed? The only dumby is the one who will willingly get screwed up watching and listening to this garbage, only to make your murderer richer, and the dumby who belives in his/her heart that he will not have to answer to God for all the blood on their hands. The smart person is he/she that sees an error and with sound judgement will avoid the danger, and warn others to do the same.
    My prayers and thoughts go out for Beyonce, even Gaga. i’m sure their are many souls pouring out prayers to God on thier behalf…in the end God in his goodness has given all men free will.
    money is and always will be the root of all evil, someone decieved their parents and now these 2 have been equally decieved, it is a sad game and pattern of lies and betrayel. the life styles portrayed in this video only have one consequense_ death, and no one wants to die on earth, so you can only imagine the 2nd death- eternity in hell. imagine in your mind what forever is like? we all have the choice to decide.

  51. INTHEWORLD?

    WHAT in the world is this? 1st Lady G is satans OWN star first and foremost, it’s ALL over all her music and videos… she is the culmination of what this world wants to feed us…quik fame, money at the cost of your life and soul.
    On the video, disgusting all they way, i almost threw up during the scene they shared that subway. i wonder what subliminal msg was hidden up in ther, actually no i don’t.
    what is going on with beyhoence? she has always pushed it when it came to sexiness but she went all out in this one an i get the feeling she was tranced out during the whole thing. she is always on trashy’s door but his, WOW.

  52. ASSA

    I have read this news and many people are discussing about this on ♥m e e t i n g r i c h 。♥ c o m a site for celebrities and wealthy people. Really hot!

  53. I LOVE THIS GAME

    RIH DOSE NOT COPY TOO ME ,,,SHES VERY CREATIVE , AND THE BIG IT GIRL …TOO ME SHE’S A COMPLETE CLASS ACT.

    VERY AMBITIOUS , FASHION FORWARD , WITH GREAT ENERGY .

  54. hugoohugoo

    Peo people that say the video has no meaning are just too le You uneducated, have no imagination, you’re too close minded. All of lady gaga’s videos have hidden meanings behind them. I’m not going into detail because there was just so many messages in this video that you people just will never understand. Stop judging lady gaga! Not all her music is about sex. Trust me, take a listen to her song “dance in the dark” its about women in bad relationships and they are free when they’re away from their boyfriends, and it mentions famous people with tragic deaths Princess Diana, Judy, Sylvia Platock (didn’t spell that right). Lady gaga is very smart and she shows it through most of her music. She is my idol, yes I will agree this song isn’t good for gaga but her music is a lot better. Trust me! Listen to dance in the dark, speechless, and her new single after telephone called Alejandro. Gaga is not all about promoting sex, homosexuality or fame. Open up your close minds and dig a little deeper. On that note I can’t wait for the Alejandro video! Alejandro is lady gaga’s best song in my opinion check it out. It resembles Madonnas La Isla Bonita with a touch of ABBA and Ace of Base. And the lyrics are good. But telephone video was entertaining, but not her best video Bad Romance was by far her best video.
