Watch: Beyoncé Featuring Lady Gaga, ‘Video Phone (Extended Remix)’
At long last we get our first look at the new Beyoncé and Lady Gaga collaborative effort for B’s new music video for her single Video Phone (Extended Remix) available on the re-release of Beyoncé’s I Am … Sasha Fierce (Platinum Edition) album. The ladies teamed up for a duet of sorts for this new single and both appear in the just released music video:
The video is mostly Beyoncé with just a little Gaga thrown in … to be honest, and I’m not trying to sound like a hater here, this collabo kinda falls flat. Gaga’s contribution to the song is totally unnecessary both musically and visually. Her one added verse is forgettable and her scenes in the video are totally uninteresting. To be honest, I don’t really love all the different Beyoncé looks included in the video either … I also find it funny that we don’t ever see a video phone … not once. That said, I’ll leave it to y’all to judge for yourselves — after the jump, check out the video in full …
In all honesty, I’m was never really in love with the original song in the first place … I think a duet remix between Beyoncé and Lady Gaga could’ve been much more cooler than this. Full disclosure, I am actually enjoying the new tracks that Gaga has released off her new re-release The Fame Monster. I’m far from being a bona fide Gaga fan but I can at least appreciate that she is, in my opinion, finally putting out better music. Lady Gaga and Beyoncé duet again on the song Telephone on The Fame Monster … I’d be curious to see if the ladies will team up for another, more interesting music video for that track. What do y’all think … is this video all that?

Did Quentin Tarantino direct this video? LOL
November 17th, 2009 at 11:03 am
Yeah I feel you on the video. I couldn’t even make it past the first verse. Lady gaga doesn’t fascinate me much in the first place, so this wouldn’t help the song any. Bad romance is the only song I’ve heard that I like.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:07 am
O.o
November 17th, 2009 at 11:11 am
I also wondered, where the heck is the video phone!? hahaha.
anyway, Gaga’s part is the most talked about actually but it’s kinda fail my expectation. but actually it’s a very visually-pleasing video and the beat’s kinda catchy
November 17th, 2009 at 11:12 am
I really like both Gaga and Beyonce, but the styling for this video seems a little bit odd. I can’t watch the video on the computer I am at right now, but from the screen caps it doesn’t quite look like my style. Plus, I think the song is so rough and sexy…so the last picture just makes me think WTF, who made you wear that t-shirt? I am OBSESSED with the Bad Romance video right now (so interesting, notice new details each time I watch it), so I think it is ok if this one isn’t so great.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:16 am
Frankly, I’ve seen better choreography and make-up on drag queens.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:16 am
Bizarre, and not in a good or interesting way.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:16 am
It definately has a Tarantino feel…Beyonce is channelling Uma Thurman. And what’s with all the guns? Beyonce is just doing her usual glorified stripper routine and Gaga is superfluous to the whole thing. And the song is baaaad.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:23 am
at exactly 49 sec it shows a video phone once.
i love beyonce, he curves are hot, but whoever did costume for this video must have hated her cause she looks awful.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:26 am
Trent, you are right. Not even Gaga can save this one. This is just a bad song all around. It sounds like a throwback to 1992.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:27 am
I don’t get the guns either, debho.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:29 am
Terrible!
Video phones, Not guns, man!!
November 17th, 2009 at 11:38 am
Trent – tracks – as in you have been able to hear more than just “bad romance”? I am dying over here waiting for next week to pick up the new album!!!
November 17th, 2009 at 11:40 am
as far as this video goes – what is with all the seizure inducing scenes? this video is just weird
November 17th, 2009 at 11:41 am
Fucking horrible, this video was tacky, cheap, and super awkward.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:46 am
gross – put your legs back together – that’s just nasty
November 17th, 2009 at 12:01 pm
my poor eyeballs. The flashy scenes were enough to give me multiple mini seizures. wtf was that garbage. the video sucked ass. the song sucked even worse. and what the hell was up with her outfits? the only part i liked was gaga but i agree she didn’t have to be in the video. i’d love for beyonce to give me my wasted time back.
November 17th, 2009 at 12:06 pm
This video scares me. Actually, the song does too. It’s sort of nightmare-worthy.
November 17th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
wackest video of 09? maybe so.
i laughed when i heard about these 2 working together…i dunno why…maybe cause there both whored out to no end.
also…gaga’s nose is HUGE without glasses..damn. i can see why she doesnt do profile shots.
i also laughed when gaga trys to dance like beyonce. oh boy,,,,man i can only imagine what the video for ‘Telephone’ is gunna end up like
November 17th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
Not a fan, horrible video. You would think a video with Beyonce and Lady Gaga would be unreal, but I am sadly disappointed.
@Chivonne – I thought the same thing… mini-seizures
November 17th, 2009 at 12:33 pm
It would have been (way) better if they had just omitted Gaga altogether…
Also, was Beyonce trying to channel Bettie with that hair and makeup? It doesn’t really suit her.
November 17th, 2009 at 12:37 pm
this video gave me an epileptic seizure and i don’t even have epilepsy… okay not really but for real that was nuts. sorry if i misspelled epilepsy. can’t see straight enough to look it up after that video =P
November 17th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
OMFG I’m so sick of Beyonce & her frickin leotards! We get it, put some damn pants on already! And this song sounds exactly like that Boost mobile commercial she used to do.
November 17th, 2009 at 12:40 pm
Usually I agree with you on everything Trent, not this time
This video kills, especially in comparison to what’s out there right now. I’m pretty sure Rihanna’s team is in overdrive trying to salvage her career after seeing this
I do agree that Gaga seemed a bit useless in this vid, maybe Telephone will be another story
November 17th, 2009 at 12:47 pm
i saw it this morning. i liked it. not inspiring. but i love bright clothes. and the fun makeup. and i enjoyed the little dance sequence.
i dont get the guns. this is the perfect video for a shameless plug of an iphone for once but we get nada.
November 17th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
This is the dumbest song ever- the video looks like a SNL spoof that was way over-funded- i mean- Beyonce mouthing “video phone” 900 times- I was just waiting for Andy Samberg to jump out on the screen.
November 17th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
BLIIIIIINDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!! beyonce looked amaaaazzzziiinnnngggggggggggg … gaga looked frightening … BUT BEYONCE!! MY BEYONCEE!! AMAZINGGG!!!!!
ANNNNND i love everything KEVIN said. I AGREE. “I’m pretty sure Rihanna’s team is in overdrive trying to salvage her career after seeing this” YA’THINK?!?!?!!!!!!
November 17th, 2009 at 1:08 pm
beyonce. killed. it. love it. LOVE IT.
November 17th, 2009 at 1:11 pm
Kevin…lol. I’m pretty sure Rihanna’s going to be fine. In fact, if she’s seen this she’s probably staring at her computer going “WTF” with the rest of us.
I’m not a big fan of Gaga. There was one melodic thing she did with her verse that I liked, but other than that it was…well it was exactly what I would have expected from her.
Also, I think Beyonce would have been better off up against a wall with her two backup dancers than going to this place.
November 17th, 2009 at 1:11 pm
….although…. rihanna’s team and beyonce’s team … kind of … same team … but anyways. beyonce <3 !
November 17th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
This video was random. The only good thing was beyonces beauty shots. And the dance was ehhhhhh gaga brought it down. Shame, you would think it would be cool too.
November 17th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
1. Beyonce looks like a nasty skank! I’m sorry but she looks extremely nasty and in a gross way in my opinion.
2. GaGa can dance better than Beyonce. it’s true.
3. Why does Beyonce always try so hard? She either copies RIhanna or Shakira. I mean, c’mon now.
4. Beyonce’s moves are literally forced. Her dancing is quite laughable in my opinion. Anyone can do it. She literally forces herself and it comes off bad.
5. The song is absolutely terrible.
6. I like GaGa but her nose…
7. FAIL!
November 17th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
The video/song is decent, but I like “Telephone” better.
November 17th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
@sweet_lady most of the tracks for Fame Monster are on youtube.
Their duet on Gaga’s record is SO much better.
November 17th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
I wonder what Kanye would say about this video??? heheheh
November 17th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
Now, I do think Beyonce is a great entertainer, performer, and stage presence but I think her and her team try to hard to be on the top. She is jumping on the Gaga bandwagon while it’s hot to increase her fame and thus doesn’t seem organic…just like she did with Shakira…she’s out to be an idol, not an artist and I think I’m one of the few that sees that from the glitz and glam she does so well…Gaga I believe to be a little strange but she is a true artist in my eyes and only has up to go..she has only ONE album and this is an EP so she has alot to grow on…
November 17th, 2009 at 2:25 pm
This video is.. really.. weird. Too weird for me. Even Beyonce looks weird. I mean, hot, but also weird.
November 17th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
@ KP Love: actually, that was the one thing that struck me about this video was that B was rocking the Bettie Page haircut and it worked so well! if i didn’t have short hair right now i’d pull that out myself… lol
other than that i agree with everyone that gaga’s part was forgettable and overall the music industry breeds women as sexual objects as opposed to talented beings… but what else is new?
November 17th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
I am tired of Beyonce vids with just her and some dancers doing their thing in front of a plain background.
-meream
November 17th, 2009 at 2:59 pm
i just hate beyonce videos she always tries too hard and i cant stand gaga she is so ugly and so over the top that bugs me
November 17th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
i agree with @illise and @devon about beyonce trying too hard. she tries to make us think she is all hard and gangster and “look at me, you know you like this baby.” but in reality we all know she is one of the sweetest women out there! shut up beyonce, you’re not fooling anyone. we know you’re not gangster and tough and hard. we like you when you’re being sweet and saving taylor swift from kanye west. go make a video with a kitten in it or something. and i love lady gaga and everything she does.
November 17th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
is it just me, or does B look like rhianna with the long side fringe in the first shot and like lil kim with the short bettie bangs in the last shot?
and the extreme angles make gaga look more like a hot tranny mess than ever before.
November 17th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
hate it.
November 17th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
I am completely mystified by Beyonce’s outfit at 1:27-1:28. It’s clear and yet TV appropriate because anatomically it isn’t, erm, correct. Is it supposed to be sexy?
In any case, both Beyonce and Lady Gaga have beautiful, unique voices, and the song’s repetitive melody and unbelievably silly lyrics do nothing to complement them. The video could’ve been fun with more of a superhero vibe but nothing can save that awful song.
November 17th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
Is this song about allowing a guy to film you with his video phone doing things that should remain behind closed doors???…as if teenagers need any more encouragement to send indecent photos of themselves over the phone…aye yai yai!
November 17th, 2009 at 4:41 pm
Gaga is “FINALLY” putting out better music!? Are you kidding Trent? Shes BEEN putting out fucking amazing tracks since day one. Not to mention shes hands down, way more talented and creative than Britney and Madonna who you seem to LOOOOOOOOVE. At least shes original, and actually sings live. Not to mention she can write her OWN music. Something many pop artists cant seem to do anymore.
Ill admit tho, this video wasn’t very good. But I think im just kind of shocked by how you talk about lady gaga on your blog. As if shes a nobody one hit wonder. Shes the only artist in history to have 4 number 1 singles off a debut album, her first album has sold almost 5 million copies, and all of her tour stops have sold out. I understand you probably dont care for her music much, but clearly A LOT of other people do. Give her dome damn credit where credit is due!
November 17th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
Some are taking the song too seriously…. it’s just a fun dance song, and if you’re from the South (TX, LA, MS, and AL) you probably know that the beat is all that matters, much like Get Me Bodied. It’s the bass, the boom, the treble that makes the song awesome….. however, Lady Googoo’s part was useless and ruins the fun of the song. I’m still trying to figure out the hype about her, cuz I haven’t liked any of her songs or vids; she’s seems a bit overrated IMHO. But hey, to each his/her own. ;)
November 17th, 2009 at 4:54 pm
IMO, Beyonce just keeps getting worse with each song/video.
November 17th, 2009 at 4:57 pm
P.S. There are phones at 0:50 and 1:20, but they are quick shots if it helps. LOL
November 17th, 2009 at 5:26 pm
@Ryan — Nope, sorry, I am not impressed with Gaga’s album The Fame. Some of the new tracks are good, I’ll admit to that, but I’m far from being a fan.
November 17th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
yuck. the “guns” flapping about threw me off the whole time… what on earth is the point of shooting color at nothing at all? is it some play on “i’m so skinny i don’t have the muscle tone to hold this shit up so i just pull the trigger randomly”?
because it was so disconnected, i actually liked gaga’s part best… seemed like she had a point, and then was gone.
but yeah, fail.
November 17th, 2009 at 5:43 pm
What’s with the crotch-off in one of those shots. Jesus.
November 17th, 2009 at 6:04 pm
Honestly? The flash effects just kept making me dizzy – I couldn’t bring myself to watch the whole thing! Bleh.
November 17th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
It needs more Gaga and less Beyonce . I don’t know how she does it but Beyonce manages to make every song sound generic and bland. How she’s become as famous as she has is beyond me.
November 17th, 2009 at 7:09 pm
I have to admit, it is a weird colabo, but I think the video is kick ass. This is one of my favorite songs on her cd. It was kind of weird watching Lady Gaga doing dance steps, but the song and video are hott.
November 17th, 2009 at 7:55 pm
GAH! Thanks to that I think I have epilepsy D:
That was horrific. Bad choreography. ONE brief glimpse of a videophone. Bad costume and make up and GaGa didn’t even look like her! In a worse way at that too.
I’m still blinking away images after all that rapid flashing :(
November 17th, 2009 at 7:59 pm
Okay…say what you will about the video and their performances, but Lady Gaga actually looks like a human being here…I’m surprised:)
November 17th, 2009 at 8:02 pm
are u guys missing the point? the guys are the “video phones”… and myself not being a beyonce fan AT ALL, i actually like the video, not so much the song itself but its not bad. The video is actually original and im pretty sure its because lady gaga had input in it since her videos are AMAZING. and trent, what do u mean by lady gaga “finally putting out better music” ? where have u been for the past year? every hit lady gaga has released has been a #1 hit and she’s the most original artist out right now. her videos are honestly the only videos i actually take out the time to watch anymore because they’re so entertaining unlike everything else now
November 17th, 2009 at 8:02 pm
I THINK THEY’RE TAKING SHOTS AT KATY PERRY AND RIHANNA NOTICE THE LAST TWO COSTUMES ND HAIRSTYLES….UH OO DO WE HAVE SOME LADY BEEF
November 17th, 2009 at 8:06 pm
right now it seems like beyonce is coming out with stupid songs with a catchy sound and beat…kinda like soulja boy…
the song is catchy and i love gaga….but its really a stupid song…music isnt what it was…songs use to have meaning…
November 17th, 2009 at 8:57 pm
Just keep watching Gaga’s amazing video for “Bad Romance” and all will be forgiven…keep repeating “I never saw the videophone video” and maybe it will go away.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:08 pm
Horrible video. Horrible music. The music industry is filled with a bunch of over produced and over-hyped bullshit!
November 17th, 2009 at 10:00 pm
ummm… no thank you.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
Song is forgettable, love Beyonce’s Varga/Betty Page look, hate Gaga’s makeup, LOVE Gaga’s nose
November 17th, 2009 at 10:03 pm
GAGA SUCKS! Get over it. She IS a flash in the pan :]]
This video is terrible, and I LOVE Beyonce. I’m disappointed in her.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
I have to disagree with the majority. I like this vdeo, Beyonce looks good and her dancing is so fun and looks awesome! Lady Gaga on the other hand literally grosses me out. I usually can handle her but she is just so awkward and unattractive in this video. Also, I usually like petite, thin bodies but gaga looks nasty compared to b’s sexy curves!!
November 17th, 2009 at 10:48 pm
THOUGH I LOVE BEYONCE I DON’T REALLY GET THE VIDEO OR WHAY LADY GAGA IS DOING IN IT.AND LOOSE THE STYLE WITH THE FRINGE YOU LOOK LIKE RIHANNA(MY GIRL)AND I THINK INSTEAD OF B MOVING UP SHE IS LOOSING HER TOUCH.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:49 pm
This vid is definitely different, but I kind of like it! I think it’s actually pretty cool and fun! Plus all of the costumes were visually appealing! I’m not too sure I understand the point in this collaboration… it doesn’t add anything great to the video, but it doesn’t detract from anything either. Trent’s hatred towards Lady Gaga makes me LOL. I liked “Just Dance,” but afterwards she got old quick. I think she’s talented as a song writer, but I don’t think she’s particularly talented as a vocalist or musician. Too much flash and not enough substance, IMHO.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:18 pm
I’m sick of this whole superfluous, overproduced, and mind-melting top 40 music. Beyonce Knowles had a strong voice for a singer, but she’s singing these bland, been-there-done-that love songs just to please the consumers. What a sell-out. Mariah Carey is no different as well. She too pushes music that I wouldn’t approach with a 10 ft. pole.
I honestly don’t listen to all this, because the music today is only aimed at easy-to-please tween girls. What do you say about the music industry when the Jonas Brothers get nominated for a Grammy. Thank God I have an iPod which features mostly classic rock and metal. Who needs pussy music.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
Also glad Lizzy B. has the same philosophy I have. Not trying to be a Nazi, because that won’t make me any better than the corrupt executives pushing this shit out on us, but do what I said in my last comment.
November 17th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
Same with Kool Moe Joe.
November 18th, 2009 at 12:22 am
i’m used to being unimpressed by beyonce but what surprised me was that lady gaga’s dancing was just awful!! after watching this vid it makes so much sense to me why she always feels the need to wear/do crazy ass stuff just so people can interpret it as “art”
November 18th, 2009 at 1:09 am
I just don’t understand why Gaga doesn’t fix her nose, she looks like Blossom!
November 18th, 2009 at 1:50 am
i love the video. it’s really aesthetically appealing.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:34 am
bad video all around
November 18th, 2009 at 5:12 am
Does anyone see how Beyonce looks like she is trying to look like Rianna, Katy Perry, and MIA.?????? or is that just me???
November 18th, 2009 at 5:45 am
[...] PINK IS THE NEW BLOG Like This? Then Check Out: [...]
November 18th, 2009 at 6:41 am
she’s totally ripping off M.I.A.
November 18th, 2009 at 7:08 am
Can someone PLEASE put a pair of pants on Beyonce??!! Yes, we all know she has nice legs, but my god I’m so sick of looking at them!!!!
November 18th, 2009 at 8:09 am
Wow. Not only is the song terrible, but I cant believe Lady Gaga wasted her time making this lame ass video. Her videos are always amazing. Even her costume is bad. But Beyonce’s are hideous.
November 18th, 2009 at 8:19 am
I don’t think you give GaGa enough credit in general Trent. Her songs have all hit top 10 and she’s been selling out everywhere, writes her own music AND she sings live. Somebody like Kylie Minogue doesn’t have as strong of a voice nor writes her own music. And Britney…hahaha. I love her as much as the next gay but lets be honest here. Talent, mind, and soul…Gaga over brit brit
November 18th, 2009 at 8:20 am
Now I adore Beyonce and I like couple of Lady Gaga’s songs but this is the WORST music video Beyonce has ever released bar none! This is such a disappointment and @Jill G no it isn’t just you she is trying to look like all of them >.<! Sad part is that I was curious about the song when Beyonce played it at the end of her Diva music video ='(! Why Beyonce? Why?
November 18th, 2009 at 8:22 am
@Smoo — It’s not about credit, it’s about personal taste. I never said she is unpopular, because clearly she is very popular, I just contend that her music has yet to impress me. I credit Gaga for her tireless efforts for equal rights and I applaud her for that. But until she starts putting out solid music that *I* like, I cannot call myself a fan.
November 18th, 2009 at 9:05 am
this is like 20 different videos in one and thats the real problem with it in my opinion. Plus, the song might be annoying as fuck now, but i thought single ladies was too when it was first released, and here we are. i bet it’ll be another insane success.
November 18th, 2009 at 9:08 am
I think Gaga looks like Claire Meade from “Ugly Betty” in that 4th screen cap! HA!
November 18th, 2009 at 11:37 am
This song is terrible… wow. I gave up after 30 seconds.
November 18th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
First: I can’t believe this video went for 5 minutes. Second: couldn’t Beyonce think of another subject to sing about other than video phones? If you insist upon using video phones as your creative inspiration, must you repeat it ad nauseum throughout the video? We get it. Third: It sounds like more of an endorsement a la Chris Brown & Doublemint gum. Not the route I would think Beyonce would choose. Lastly: no amount of sexiness can save this video.
November 18th, 2009 at 5:01 pm
soooo lame, the song is not catchy at all…they BOTH can do wayyyyyy better than this!!! Wtf… I expect a lot out of these two. God what a dumb song.
November 18th, 2009 at 5:01 pm
this is one of the worst videos ive seen in my whole life !
it did worse than just SUCKED !!!
Lady Gaga is completely ugly and totally sucks and i dont even understand why she’s becoming famous .
& im dissapointed in Beyonce . i used to love her music & videos .
buttt the crap she’s put out lately with her songs, videos, & her new look sucks .
how pathetic !
November 18th, 2009 at 6:04 pm
this song really really blows. but has anyone listened to lady gaga’s song feat. beyonce? it’s called telephone and it is a MILLION times better than video phone.
November 19th, 2009 at 2:18 am
The video sucks and the song is completely shity, a masterpiece of crap!!!!!
November 19th, 2009 at 2:20 am
julie, i can notice that you are very, very stupid.
regards
December 2nd, 2009 at 4:05 am
Well it’s a POS song and GaGa steals the show. IMO
December 23rd, 2009 at 12:54 pm
Omg.. I saw this video.. and it was just, incredibly trying too hard. And yes, the last look was a COMPLETE M.I.A. knockoff.. way too alike to be a coincidence, even the way she had her makeup done and positions her face it just like M.I.A., and the sad thing is that if any hardcore beyonce fan hears about M.I.A. later, they would say that she copied beyonce. Does she not have any dignity in terms of creativity? Ugh.
This song is shit, the video is shit.
