Beyonce And Lady Gaga Are Really Into Their Video Phones

I tried to hate on this video, but I can’t! It’s just hot! At first I was like, yo, B, can you do something other than stand in front of a camera and gyrate like there’s no tomorrow? And, hey, Lady Gaga, can you just, like, disappear off my laptop screen for a moment? But then the beat got to me, and I fell under the spell of Beyonce and Lady Gaga‘s “Video Phone,” directed by Hype Williams, who makes great everything he lenses. It’s part “Reservoir Dogs,” part Bettie Page, and there’s some brandishing of weapons. What do you think: love it or leave it?

Good thing The Frisky refreshes every 15 seconds.  The video gave me a seizure.

Love it! I think like the first glimpse I’ve gotten of what Lady gaga actually looks like. I wish there was more of her.

Loved this! I’m glad that Lady Gaga wasn’t over the top made up in this, she looks so nice just simple!
And Beyonce’s body is insane, she’s amazing.
Good video! It was extremely flashy and over the top but kind of to the point where it seems like maybe it was done on purpose? You know, the point where even the performers recognize how over-the-top it is and can laugh at it.
And Beyonce makes a great B.Page

This song is just waaaaaaaay to raunchy in kind of an awkward way. All the sexting stuff that those middle school kids have been doing comes to mind. I agree that Beyonce and Gaga do a good job, but I can’t listen to this song without feeling awkward.

oh my god, beyonce as a gangsta-betty page pretty much made my year. if only i had the patience for bangs…


also, is it just me or is lady gaga looking a bit thin and sickly? maybe its just because she’s next to the curvy and awesome beyonce…. who knows.

@sunrise

No I think you’re right about gaga. She’s looking pretty thin, and I don’t think it’s just because she’s next to beyonce. I watched the video for lovegame earlier today and her thighs and butt looked a lot curvier.

i liked the video alot, i really did not like the song.  i am a huge gaga fan and i love beyonce alot too.  but yeah, this song sounds like it was released like 4 years ago… i would have expected something much more fresh from these two combined.

on a side note, how sexy is beyonce with betty page bangs?!  amazing.

@sunrise Oh my goodness! I was thinking the same thing about how thin Lady Gaga looks here compared with how she looked when she first broke out last year. It’s very sickly and I think it’s beyond just the fact that she’s next to Beyonce. I got that same vibe from her when I saw her performing on SNL recently.

How long will it take Lady Gaga before she gets a nose job?

OMG… I watched this yeterday. Beyonce is so super thick. I love her so much! She’s dead sexy. She looks like she smells like sweet vanilla. She’s all glitter n sparkly things. I don’t even want to have any type of “sexy time” with her. I just want to rub lotion on her legs. Is that too much to ask?!

I don’t know about Lady GaGa.

Loved it! Thank you Bey for finally coming out with something original, like old times! And Gaga, thanks for no T-pain Autotune…you have a great voice that needs to be heard!

uh.. was it just me or was it sort of awkward to watch them together? When they were doing their own thing, they were great, but when they were on screen together… kinda weird. Love them both, but weird.

Definitely not loving this song. I feel like it’s all of the ghetto with none of the fabulous.

Normally they both annoy me, but somehow it works really well for me. And although Ms. Gaga has a toned body, she doesn’t look as hot compared to Beyonce.

I hate the song and the video. But as long as Beyonce’ is half dressed and shaking it, my eyes can’t turn away! I love Lady Gaga. It’s just hilarious that she looks weird as a normal person. I honestly don’t think she looks sickly. I think she’s naturally petite and Beyonce’ has body for days, so by comparison she looks like a waif.

I liked the video… could’ve done without the strobe effect! (headache comin) Beyonce has a kickin body! And while i love Lady Gaga’s creativity, it was nice to see her look “normal”. She’s very pretty, although she could stand to gain a few pounds.

while i’m not a huge fan of either, gaga is more talented

I definitely agree that Gaga is looking gaunt these days though. What happened, did she suddenly wake up one morning in the last six months and stop being Italian? Where’d her ass go?

I seriously hated this. I happen to like Lady Gaga a lot more than Beyonce, so the only good parts for me were when Lady Gaga was in the scene. But is it just me or is she looking incredibly skinny and not very healthy?

Song and video are both very boring.  But Beyonce does look gorgeous with the betty page makeup and hair!

I hope Ga-Ga is okay…I can’t stand to see another wonderful talent destroy herself. I love you Ga-Ga, be good and take care of you!

it would be way too cliche for lady gaga to “succumb to the pressures of the industry” and go all anorexic or whatever on us… she’s supposed to be here changing things, and shocking us, and not being… normal. eating disorders among celebrities are sadly just that: normal.

I’m not a fan at of this video.  I know Beyonce is known for her booty shaking but this video took it to the next level.  It’s skanky rather than sexy.  As for Gaga, I don’t know why everyone’s commenting on her weight.  She’s heavier and curvier than the current Hollywood ideal—far from anorexic.  She’s just toned up a bit, and I think her body looks great.  I don’t like her on this song, though.  This isn’t a true collaboration. It’s just Beyonce’s song with Lady Gaga added as an afterthought.

I’m normally a fan of both. But I can’t stand the song, the video is tacky (in a BAD way), and Gaga is too massacred and Beyonce-fied to bring anything to the table that I could remotely enjoy—it would have been better if she had stayed herself for this song. I liked Beyonce’s spot in “Telephone” much more.

Does the glee term “hairography” come to anyone else’s mind?  Let me explain:

Urban Dictionary:  “Choreography using a lot of dance movement with the head that causes the hair to thrash about”

Normally, this tactic is utilized to distract from subpar vocals and so-so choreography. This music video is a near perfect example of hairography, except with a tinge more “bootieography”.  Although I am a fan of these two female artists, this is a poor representation of their work.
