MUSIC VIDEO: LADY GAGA ft. BEYONCE - “TELEPHONE”
Thursday, March 11, 2010
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.

I’m the BIGGEST Beyonce fan but i didnt like this that much. The scene with all the dykes in the prison made me sick and the dancing scene was awkward. I liked bey’s scenes in the bedroom n LMAOOO @ tyrese, just DEATH! Paparazi is STILL my fave GaGa video!

Once Again…
Nice OVER HYPED VIDEO…
TO COVER UP POOR MEDIOCRE MUSIC!
Im sure it will win video of the year because of the two people involved! I wish the music lived up to the hype!
SIDENOTE: Im shocked Beyonce didnt try to get on the writer credits at the beginning!
FAKE BITCH
AND OMG BEYONCE CANNOT ACT!!! WHAT THE HELL! WHY IS SHE NEVER CONVINCING WITH ANY ROLE SHE PLAYS? SHE ALWAYS LOOKS AND SOUNDS LIKE BEYONCE TRYING TO ACT! WHAT IS THE ISSUE? DOES SHE NOT HAVE AN ACTING COACH? WHY CANT SHE CONVEY EMOTION ON CAMERA?
#FAIL
BEYONCE AND GAGA DO NOT WORK WELL TOGETHER! BEYONCE LOOKS STUPID AT THE END DANCING LIKE HER! THIS WAS BEYOND WACK! HATE IT! LADY GAGA WAS CONVINCING…BEYONCE WAS NOT!

Well it wasn’t epic.. The intro was too long. I could definitely see the Michael Jackson influence with the dance routine. I liked the smoking glasses. We all know that if that was Rihanna’s or Beyonce butt showing in the video black people would be going crazy.. I liked some of GAGA’s fashions. Lots love shown to the lesbian and gay communities.. Gaga poked fun at the d rumours.. Beyonce played her part.. but it had a lot of stuff going on.. the video had no plot.. so I guess it was just Beyonce and GAGA playing dress up… I will say this video was definitely better than Video Phone I give it ★★★!!!! I wonder if the illuminati ppl gonna say some ish!! *grabs popcorn*

two amazing artist that just don’t compliment each other at ALLL! Im sorry but the chemistry just looks forced to me. I would much rather see Christina A. Britney, Rihanna or Kelis in this with Gaga. It is no sercret that Bey’s style and image isnt the most versitile. Edge just don’t suit her, she should stick to glits and glam.
With that said, oh how over hyped this video was. Gaga needs to switch it up now, this is played. IMO

Video was ok. Would have been better if Beyonce actually broke Gaga out of prison. Maybe crashed into the building and get her out. But I like Gaga’s exit from prison lol. All in all the video was fair. Not mind blowing though

Those who don’t understand why this video was so epic missed the point!!!!! Beyonce can actually match Lady Gaga and vice versa. Beyonce stepped it down to GAGA’s level!!! The craziness that we know as Lady Gaga, Beyonce was able to meet her there and make it her own.
Art is interpretative.
Put aside the BEYONCE we know…the weave, the makeup, the Sasha Fierce….and what are you left wit. Not much of anything.
Beyonce was able to step it up and do something outside of her relam.
That ish was refresing to see.
I applaud this video for it’s creativity.

Gaga does not blow Bey away vocally. Stop it.
Anyway. Only two words really sum up how I feel about the video….. HOT & CREATIVE!
definitely worth the long ass wait.

This song is atrocious and the video is complete and utter garbage. The music that Lady Gaga and Beyonce produces has no substance and will not withstand the test of time. I think people get confused by what is deemed shocking and mistake it for being “epic.”

That was the dumbest video that I have ever seen and mad that I wasted 10 minutes of my time. So what Beyonce or Gaga was in it. This was sadistic, strange, crazy, weird, no purpose. You couldn’t even follow the plot, what was it? All about art, but it looked crazy. But I am sure everyone will make it EPIC! That is the reason why music is in the garbage right now. People are impressed with stuff like this. Know trash when you see it.

YESSSS! THE WAIT IS OVA!! Loved it! Had a Tarantino Kill Bill type vibe. THE ENTRANCE, DANCING, FASHION, AND CREATIVITY WERE DOPE!!!. Some of the acting scenes could have been left out, but still overall very good video.

Well…that was quite interesting…it was all over the place…but I liked it. I was hoping the video went a different direction…but that’s Lady Gaga and she’s definitely found her niche. Someone mentioned Beyonce’s acting skills, too me it was meant to sound like a low budget B movie, don’t get me wrong I am not a fan of Beyonce’s acting at all but I really think that was meant to sound that way on purpose. Anyway it was an interesting video and I liked it.

Hot Mess…I love Gaga and think she has a lot of creativity…but this was an EPIC FAIL.
Tyrese is so wack…who recommended him for the video…c’monson
You can barely hear the song with all the breaks
The concept was wack…sorry…the video did no match the song. The song is about someone calling too much…uuuummm….how is that related to breaking out of jail and killing people at a diner…*blink blink*

Out!!!!

No shade to some people on here, but if it were women poppin their pu***y for some video time, I’m more than sure that no one would be complaining on here about sexual innuendos.
But bc it’s girl on girl action there’s a problem.
People….get it together.
Better yet USHER, got a fine chic in his video that’s straight soft porn, we all applaud and say oooooh and aww and hot.
Get over it folks.
People and homophobia.
No wonder there such a high % of Black people in the closet.

U STANS MUST BE KIDDING
Thursday, March 11, 2010 /
most of the people on here are just lying cause they like beyonce and gaga
KEEP IT REAL!
How is this creative when we can pin point exactly where the concept comes from? GTFOH
Beyonce & Gaga are two artist that DO NOT WORK WELL TOGETHER!
Admit it! They are great, but together they are NO GOOD!
Beyonce is just such an opportunist and milked this just to stay relevant!
I would have LOVED to see Gaga with Rihanna, Aguilera. B Spears…BUT NOT BEYONCE! They dont work well togther! But Beyonce being the greddy attention whore she is she just HAD to beat everyone to the punch by forcing this union between them because they both have a large gay fan base!
This would have been much better if they were just in a RAVE Llike party, or a ay club dancing! SO MUCH BETTER!
This is forced! Too much and these two do NOT work well together and you all know it!
You call yourselves fans…RIGHT? You “love” these artist…right? TELL THEM THE TRUTH!
Stop being “yes” people! Lady Gaga should have stayed away from beyonce! Beyonce is making gagas album all about her!
THEY DO NOT WORK WELL TOGETHER!
THIS VIDEO IS RANDOM & OVER HYPED!
BEYONCE’ CANNOT ACT HER WAY OUT OF A PAPER BAG, IF SHE EVER WINS AN OSCAR…SHE BOUGHT IT!
Tell me when im lying…

@ NEON 61. I thought at first that is the way they wanted the script to be act…very corny but then when I watched Gaga she is givin an oscar performance….like really believable, while Bey is cheesy. Why wouldnt they have Gaga all cheesy as well. I just think thats the way Beyonce did it. It is very funny but she isnt a good acting at all! I think she knows

Ok seriously, the video did look like it cost a pretty penny and was very colorful and full of life but lets stop being a fan for once and tell the truth. the video it self made no relation to the song. up in the club and i’m sippin that bub..but yet you are in a jail cell. you people mistake the truth for hate, they are going to get paid no matter what but we are who pays them by buying in to the mess they create and that video made no sense, beyonce’s acting was horrible ( as usual ) so get pissed all you like at those who voice their opinions but that video was not the hype they created for it.

The video was classic GaGa, I guess since she is considered competition for Beyonce it would makes sense for them to join forces. I see they used the PWagon from Kill Bill Vol 2. Yeah Beyonce need an acting coach, but other than that it was okay! Nothing incredible..
72.
neon
Thursday, March 11, 2010 /
@keep_it_real4_1unce gaga has a broader vision than that. she’s not going to make a vid about women in the club just to match her lyrics. that’s so predictable and that’s where some people slip up. the song is all about men controlling their women, always trying to call them, be on their case-just being annoying. i think gaga took that larger theme and ran with it. they killed their men b/c there men were controlling them and they needed to escape that. then gaga added the humor- the campy dialogue, the scene where they kill everyone in the dinner b/c they accidentally put the poison in all of the food
73.
