Lady Gaga's Telephone video featuring Beyoncé The epic video, full of prison scenes, intrigue, and sex appeal, is now available on Vevo.com in the US and internationally via YouTube.
The "Telephone" video picks up where Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" video left off, beginning with Lady Gaga in prison and including a scene in which Beyoncé comes to her rescue. Directed by Jonas Akerland, who also directed "Paparazzi," the video is said to be inspired by Quentin Tarantino.
Lady Gaga and Beyoncé previously collaborated on the video for "Video Phone," which premiered in November. That song first appeared on Beyoncé's album I Am...Sasha Fierce.
As she told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show just last month, "What I like about it is, it's a real true pop event. When I was younger I was always excited when there was a big giant event happening in pop music and that's what I wanted this to be."
Pretty bold praise for her own work, but "Telephone" definitely has the feel of - in typical Lady Gaga fashion - a performance art piece, rather than a mere video.
Perhaps the best part? At the onset, Gaga is strip searched and tossed in a jail cell. In a funny reference to the hermaphrodite rumors about her, a guard says:
"Told you she didn't have a d!ck."
That's before the music even commences, too. "Telephone" may not be as epic as "Bad Romance," but you have to give Gaga credit, because it's darn close.
