Fans around the world waited Thursday (November 5th) for the video premiere of Beyonce’s latest single, “Video Phone,” co-starring Lady Gaga. The vidoe was to air after this year’s European Music Awards on MTV channels across the globe at 5:30 EST time, but no video was to be found.
After scoring three awards this year at MTV’s EMA’s, Sony Columbia released a statement, saying that the video will air at a later date this November.
Beyonce will RErelease her album, I Am… Sasha Fierce in a deluxe edition, which will feature five #1 hits and two bonus tracks which include, “Video Phone (Extended Remix),” featuring Lady Gaga on November 23rd. Also to drop that Monday, are Beyonce’s I Am… Yours, An Intimate Performance At Wynn Las Vegas, a concert performance DVD and Live CD that captures a never-before-seen performance from the starlet.
On that day, Gaga will also release The Fame Monster, which contains 8 new tracks, as well as the Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins-produced collaboration with Beyonce, “Telephone.”
Pop diva Janet Jackson is releasing her forthcoming Number Ones compilation on November 17th and the following day, Janet will air an hour-long primetime special on ABC, November 18th.
It seems as though Janet’s team on her new label (her new studio album, due out next year, will be released via A&M/Interscope Records), which will be announced officially sometime this month is trying to make all the right moves for the next phase in Janet’s career. With a great performance at this year’s VMA’s, a new video for “Make Me Move,” the new single from the greatest hits compilation, to this upcoming new special, Janet is definitely on the right track.
We can expect a new album from Jackson next year, which Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins revealed will be an uptempo/dance record.
