Su Ann: Lady Gaga feat Beyonce -- Telephone

|
has anyone seen Lady Gaga feat Beyonce's official explicit version of Telephone?



here you go :)

please watch it! it's over 9 minutes long but visually captivating. i do think she dealt with heavier issues this time around (homosexuality, murder, sexual exploitation, nudity etc.), which of course earned her a lot of media backlash. read here and here. but i personally felt that apart from the cheesy lines ("You've been a very bad girl. A very, very, bad, bad girl, Gaga. -- Beyonce), the video was pretty cool :) i always like her videos! her songs may be really, really annoying but the videos are fun, albeit dripped in controversy! this time around she adopted a very superhero, vintage, comic feel for the music video.

kay anyways.

Lady Gaga in response to Fox News claiming her new video should be banned and outlawed:

“It’s my personal belief that the video is getting so much attention not because of themes people claim to see like sadomasochism and encouraging young people to murder, because I’ve done those themes before, haven’t I? But it’s because it’s with Beyonce and it’s because there are so many homosexual themes and transsexual women and transgendered women in the video. Then suddenly, it becomes poisonous and something else because there are some people in this world who think being gay is a choice, and it’s not a choice. We are born this way. That’s why the video is groundbreaking for me -- it has one foot in the art community and one foot in the commercial world, and it makes a true and genuine statement.”

so what do you think?

(off to watch clash of the titans. have a feeling it won't be very good! was it good cecilia? :) but my friend booked 17 seats so. meh. maybe i'll review it? :) have a good night!)

okay seriously. what do you think of the video? :D
