Well, that was quick. Yesterday we posted about Beyoncé and Lady Gaga’s two duets—“Telephone” (to be released on Gaga’s The Fame Monster) and “Video Phone” (on B’s deluxe re-release of I Am… Sasha Fierce)—and voila, here they are.
Does either track stack up against the best phone-related pop songs of all time? (Our pick is No Doubt’s “Spiderwebs,” but that’s up for debate.) Take a listen and see for yourself. Lady Gaga’s above, Beyoncé’s clip after the jump.

















Telephone is pretty hot, Video Phone is growing on me. These two work together pretty well who would have thought? I expect super stellar videos to be released to these songs in due time.
FINALLY something about Lady Gaga. I was getting worried.
phone songs that are a million times better than “spiderwebs:”
the nerves – hangin’ on the telephone
glen campbell – wichita lineman
tom t. hall – tulsa telephone book
chuck berry – memphis
elo – telephone line
wilson pickett – 634-5789
the biggest difference between old idolator and new idolator is no matter how much maura loved the 90s and 00s she was aware the world, and music, existed before then. i’m not sure becky and robbie understand that.
um…”video phone” was part of the original “sasha fierce” disc released over a year ago. that clip is not the new gaga remix. do your research.
i don’t think people will continue to look up to beyonce as a role model after this. i swear to god, if they kiss in the video, i will no longer support beyonce or pop music ever again. you see i’m a born-again Christian, and i believe that gay right are the devil’s work, and if you don’t believe in Jesus Christ, then ya’ll going to hell! no lie! so listen up if you will.
it was God’s plan that we live right. but the way things are going, it looks like this world is a hellhole. a lot of sinning. we need to reclaim or lord and saviour’s title as king of all kings. i know some people will not agree with what i’m saying, but i don’t care. cause i’ve been running for Jesus for 8 years [ i was saved in 2001 ], and i’ve come too far to turn around now. Lord help me in here! what we need to do is go down on our knees and tell the Lord to forgive us for our sins and all the wrong we done in our lives. Because He is the true and living God. Jesus Christ has set us free!
Thanks for letting me get this off my chest.
@christian woman
Shut Up.
Uh, petty, you should do your research. that video phone version IS not the same version as on ‘the original sasha fierce disc released over a year ago’ … good try tho dumb@ss
Hi,
I am such a big fan of music when ever i free i turn on my i pod and listen music from it whole day…
I also searching for music info like lyrics albums singers and much more….
My favorite music types are sad songs , Fast Rock and Roll type songs and some really Hip Hop…
So this article will make me more better in music knowledge and also some kind of fun…..
Thanks for sharing some valuable info…
ZOMBIEBOT PLEASED HE IS NOT ONLY ZOMBIE ON BOARD. GREETINGS CARTUCHO R4I. WHAT ARE YOUR SPECIFICATIONS???
i love gaga but not beyonce. get fucked beyonce and try to imitate rihanna who knows her onions.
Uh, what the hell is happening here. I’m so confused.
@ Christian woman. The telephone song doesn’t even remotely have anything to do with lesbians…….. Open up your ears… and your eyes.. you sad, sad, narrow minded little girl with your pathetic age-old backwards thinking ideals. Good luck with that.
After a few more listens Telephone is great. Videophone is just not working for me maybe it will have one of those single ladies appeals to it where an otherwise mediocre song gets totally re-imagined by the video, now when I listen to single ladies I picture the video and can be all into it.
I heard there is a secret to this video… Blackentertainmentblog.com said
“I like this video ever so much more now. It’s the biggest joke, that everyone will be watching this and yet NO ONE will likely figure out what it is that’s going on. I’m sure the director will be rolling on the floor with laughter as review after review misses the obvious yet praises the video; not realizing…”
I honestly didn’t notice it until I read this.
I am soo saddened that Beyonce would step to such a degrading level. I saw this Video phone video, and I was appaulled!!! I saw Beyonce on Larry King when she was promoting her movie Obsessed, and she said that since Obama was president, and after meeting his daughters she started to think about her image, and her music, because of the young black girls that admire her. This video does not represent someone that cares about her Black Race, with young girls looking up to her as a role model. This is over the top, and from now on, my daugther will NOT be able to listen to ANY of her music. I only allowed her to listen to selective songs anyway. But this is so trashy! She really needs to look at herself from within, and stop being blinded by the money, fame, and fortune. She is definetly overexpossed!!!!
@ Christian Woman
All I really have to say is that you really need to shut the fuck up :)
Like honestly I do not understand you little fork-tounge church attending little zombies.
Youre all so two-faced and hypocritical.
You preach the word of the lord saying one must love thy neighbor yet you bash on people’s personal choices.
Homophobes like you are only really so afraid of it because you know that deep inside it is killing you that you yourself are one.
It’s been scientifically proven to have a connection.
So in conclusion, just come out of the closet girl.
And about the music:
Beyonce pretty much ruins Telephone in my opinion.
and Videophone oh goddd, that has to be the most pathetic excuse of a song to ever be written, not even Lady Gaga was able to save it.
I guess they have to keep it i’gnant for the hood.
No offense to anyone that actually likes this music video, but beyonce looks like a slut in it. was has lady gaga done to her?
Haha seriously. Please don’t preach your bull shit faith to everyone who really doesn’t care. I went to Christian school my whole life and I really can’t believe people believe that bull crap. There is so much evidence put right in front of these Christians that yes, the Earth is millions of years old, and no, the sun was not created just because God said let there be light. There is scientific proof behind the parting of the Red Sea, the plagues and many other things, but Christians choose not to believe it because they believe that these really were miracles instead of natural occurrences. People are so gullible and will believe anything but the truth. You will get a sad awakening when you realize that there is no Heaven. Well, you probably won’t because nothing happens when people die. Our brains shut down and that’s the end of things. It’s our brains that make up our personalities and when they stop working, well, it’s pretty much like we never existed. Basic common sense that people should realize, but have been brain washed by other idiots who have been brain washed so there really is no chance for humanity anymore.
It’s just fear of the unknown that lead people to write these stories about Jesus etc. Take a look at our history, our ancient history, and you will see a pattern of myths and stories basically trying to make sense of things that we don’t understand (Like the Greek myths for example). It doesn’t mean that we should take these stories literally, but Christianity is so commercialized that people are just going to keep believing this crap that the church is shoving down our throats.
But please don’t say that gay people are the devil’s work, because if you were a real Christian you wouldn’t sit there and judge people when you have no damn right to. Why the hell would sexual preference be the work of the devil? Adam and Eve do on little thing wrong and humanity is damned for all eternity? Yeah that’s a nice lesson to pass on to our children. Religious people are so hypocritical it really makes me sick.
Type your comment here.
I believe God loves everyone unconditionally but does everyone love him?
Jesus on the cross will always effect people – they will either be moved by the beauty of his suffering and love – or get angry and ridicule it.The light reveals whats in our hearts and this often offends people. Its not just Adam and Eve that turned their backs on God- if we are honest about it we all do. We are all by nature rebels. Jesus rebelled against the lies we tell ourselves- we don't need God we may say, we know more than Him and we can do what we want. But He took our sins and died for each of us and rose again. We can argue and argue but we still will all die and meet our maker. Did we accept that we needed a saviour or did we think we were above it in one way or another? Maybe we believed it was all just a theory.

I think people need to stop being assholes in general…If you don't like the song it's fine but to be so rude about it is just uneccasary. And also stop being assholes to each other online…If you wouldn't say it in person then don't say it all…Personally I loved both telephone and video phone…I thought they were excellent and no I am not a big fan of Beyonce but she did a great job
well- christian woman- i do agree with you to some extent..
yes, i believe being trashy is wrong- but NO- being gay is not a sin. gays are born gays, and since we are all gods children- he would not have made the “error” of making someone different- it was intentional.
he prob. throws gays around the world to see the first one to throw a rock… YES being trashy gay- where your all horny n going to club IS wrong- very wrong. jut as being a straight man going to clubs and doing all those nasty things is wrong to. same goes for straight women/lesbians… but being a “correct” gay person- where they get married, follow jesus– you know.. i dont see any thing wrong with that.
im VERY sure no man would CHOOSE to be gay- no one wants to be “different”- no one likes stepping out of the human “standard” (woman+man=marriage=babies)
just like a straight man is born straight- a gay is born gay.
besides- this vid. has NOTHING to do with being lesbian/gay *homosexual*
if your talking about gaga being bisexual- yeah sometimes gaga goes overboard, but she has faith in god and thats what counts. the bible was made by HUMANS, inperfect creatures. god sent them a messiage and they interpreted it which every way they felt like it. and there are many parts of the bible still lost.. im pretty sure god has something to say about homosexuality..
humans picked a long time ago what went in the bible, hid the parts they wanted out of the bible, and made THAT gods official words.
like i said before- GOD MAKES NO MISTAKES- HES PERFECT! he made all of us! so being gay is not wrong, is not a sin, being full of lust, horny, nasty, IS a sin- gay or straight that goes for EVERYONE. but being a “correct” homosexual/bisexual is no prob.
dont be racist, racism and ignorance wont change the %5 (and growing) of the homosexual population, so show some respect- we need to learn to live with it…

i still dont notice any thing..
i agree and disagree
yes- if she rly was christian she would not judg people- gays are not the devils work- god is perfect – makes no mistakes- he made all of us- he wouldnt let %5 of the population slip and make a tiny “mistake” – being gay.
but i do believe in god. i believe in science-
some say that a little germ becamse this and that till we reached monkeys then humans- that may be true- but WHO created the germ.. jesus.
the bible may not be all correct- i rly dont think god said “let there be light” and there was light- but that he created all of us – YES – jesus is the son of god- YES-in the beginging there was “nothing” how could nothing all of a sudden become EARTH. you cant creat any thing with nothing. it had to be a god. i dont know if it was jesus, i dont know if it was one of those egyptian gods, but i know theres a god. those bible stories arent perfectly true- but there are some true stuff in there.. but it was written by humans- so its inperfect- not the best correctly detailed stories.. BUT I BELIEVE.
science is real- but so is jesus.
there will always be a “how”
how did humans come to be- “the apes”
what about the apes – “germy thing”
what about the germy thing – “water”
what about the water- uhhh… “blablabla”
THERE WILL COME A MOMENT WHERE THERE WILL BE NO ANSWER- AND THEN ILL SAY IT WAS JESUS
-nothing cant creat something.
nothing will always be nothing-
Personally, I like beyonce's songs she is a great performer in her years as an artist and I also liked the earlier released videos of lady gaga. To me the two videos are just fucked up, I just cant believe that a wonderful artiste like beyonce who everyone says is such a perfectionist would end up down this road. Beyonce whats so entertaining about your video phone song. One minute your ass is big next minute its small. I mean I expect the shit out of Gaga (thats y she is loved)but not you. I really thought you would teach gaga a thing or two about class but unfortunately that did not happen. They are both great artiste but hope the next song and video they do togethter isnt so ugly. I hate both songs I hate both videos is not something I would consider listening to in 2 or 3 years down the line. This is a drive by for me.
For everyone who agreed before, when Rihanna came out everyone was saying she is immitating beyonce, beyonce have been imitating every single artiste that came out with something. How come no one is calling out on that. Thank God Rihanna is showing her true Caribbean, Beyonce need to find herself and stop imitaing pople cause she just wont make it in the industry if she had no one to imitate. Beyonce love your music but no no honey u got to find that signature part of you. Stop tryin to be like all other artiste, just dosent look nice, and when you try to imitate a great soca artiste in Trinidad, and Trinidad dancing you just dont look good doing it.
