Video: Lady Gaga and Beyonce confuse and delight in “Telephone”
Lady Gaga and Beyonce’s “Telephone” video is more than 9 minutes of violence, sex, product placement, and bright colors. Director Jonas Akerlund takes references from flicks like Kill Bill and Thelma & Louise and incorporates camp, pop culture references, Coke can hair rollers, and Tyrese Gibson (huh?). Per the Lady herself, the video embodies “the idea that America is full of young people that are inundated with information and technology and turns it into something that was more of a commentary on the kind of country that we are”
Personally, the jury is still out on whether the visually dazzling video is a brilliant take on feminism and consumerism or just 10 minutes of randomness.
[...] to date. “Umbrella” meets a photo shoot and falling cherries? *Kanye shrug* Between Lady Gaga’s “Telephone” and this, I realize avant garde music videos are not my thing. Where is Hype Williams with his fish [...]
I absolutly love Beyonce ‘s music! She is a great solo artist but I totally wish Destiny’s Child would get back together.
Love DC3!
I really love Lady Gaga with her extraordinary dresses although she definitely let herself down now being seen out in see through underwear.
