Sensing the Scooby-Doo screw faces going around, Beyonce recently went on the air to discuss the off-the-wall visuals in Lady Gaga’s “Telephone” video.

Beyonce-Telephone

This is what she told Power 106 FM in L.A. about the bold departure from her usual video themes (shoot in black & white, dance, repeat)

“The video in a lot of ways is more about her even than it is about me. It was sort of a pop-art venture for me to bring her into my world in a way, the video is an attempt for her and I to erase pop music as we know it up until this very point. It’s meant to change the perspective of the world on what a pop music video should be and she’s kind of the vehicle for that. In reality, more people around the world are familiar with her aesthetics than they are with mine. It was something for me to kind of change the way that you see her for one video.”

RELATED: VIDEO: Beyonce & Lady Gaga, “Telephone”

Hmm, if anything I think this video just reinforced everything we thought about Lady Gaga: she’s buck wild! They did raise the bar for music videos (for the last ten years anyway, MJ raised the bar on music videos to almost unreachable heights) but I don’t anyone is shocked by Gaga’s antics, we’re more surprised that Bey was within six degrees of something so left field.

    Love lady gaga. But beyonce messed that song up, she always tries to do a collabo with whoevers hot at the moment, gaga is different in a good way beyonces annoying sounds don’t mix with her music somebody needs to tell beyonce to take a ten year break and take rihannas herpes ass with her, I think if gaga did a video buy herself it would have been better

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/DameDivalicious/ DameDivalicious

    She said “pop-art venture” which is something some people have no understanding of. Beyonce just do you and screw those who wanted to stay behind and not take risks!

    Wow light bright, quit being such a hater just because beyonce is lighter than you. LOL

    In other news, Absolutely love the video! :)

    Not a Gsga fan but I like her newest single. She could’ve pulled it off without Beyonce. Then again as weird as Gaga appears to be this comes as no surprise……

    dont like gaga but the video was sortof fun except for the nasty jailhouse kiss

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/light__bright/ light__bright

    how is that being a hater by stating my opinion? i swear that word is so overused. and i dont know why i would be “hating” because she’s lighter than me in that picture. shiit i was just wondering why they made her look so washed out because in real life her complexion is more brown

    YungAnnaBaby07, Yeah, I agree…’WACK’ pretty much sums these two up in a nutshell. OH! And OVERKILL…Its one thing to be innovative and ‘fresh’ but they crossed the fine line into distaste and absurd..
    No im not a ‘hater’, im a TRUTHER!

    1) I thought the song was Gaga’s. Plus you know if she’s in it, it’s bound to be crazy, but we should applaud her for being her. Crazy video, cool song.

    2) When is everyone going to get off Bey’s titz? Damn, it wasn’t her video to hog anyway. And yet, somehow media has made it about her again.

    3)What she said to Power 106 and anything similar to anybody else is a crock of shish.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/HomeyGal/ HomeyGal

    Personal opinion….I can’t stand Gaga and what she does! She irritates me. This comment “….we’re more surprised that Bey was within six degrees of something so left field..” Could not be closer to exactly what I think. Im shocked that Beyonce would do a clip like that. She maybe wanting to branch away from what she’s doing, however, be true to urself! That video was just rubbish & Beyonce looks WAY out of place when they’re dancing next to each other. Sorry…not a fan!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/pacman8597/ pacman8597

    i think it was diffrent nice to see women come together especailly black and white, i love beyonce music and her as a artist i think she is brilliant when comes to entertaing and laddy gaga nt really a big fan of her but i admire her work and i love the fact that she takes chances, its good to see artist being fearful cuz its a lot of hating ass whack people in this world so for them to do what they love inspite of haters, i think thats great and a true artist

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/teemex/ teemex

    It’s like Bey makes a video wiv another artist and tries so hard to dress l and dance like the other artist e.g Bey and Shakira.now it’s her and Lady Gaga!Is she doing her own thing or being a copy cat?she can be in that video and hav her own style but not her dressing like Lady Gaga,putting on make up that makes her look white like lady Gaga,dancing and acting like she’s Lady Gaga’s duplicate!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SexyMoneyMaker/ SexyMoneyMaker

    @ SayTown_TXgurl
    eah those glasses were wild, not sure if they were real cigs or not, but I was hoping she did’nt burn a damn eye with a flicker of spark!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BUFF1NE/ BUFF1NE

    I hated the video, I thought it was disguting and Im upset at Beyonce for being in it. Also it just screams ‘devil business’.
    Lady Gaga has issues anyway and me cyant stand she!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/critical22/ critical22

    @BUFF1NE, so you really think that everything Beyonce has been doing up to this point is actually “GOD Business”? Comenow dont be fooled, that dressing revealing parts of you body, all those sexual dances definitely are not in the will of God..so BUFF haha dont be so shocked that she is in this video, plus you know who her man is right? JZ..dude who made a music LUCIFER LUCIFER..UMMMMMM. and has openly said he doesnt worship the true God…comeon I know you are smarter than that…:)

    I’m so sick of hearing about Beyonce, she’s not the only r&b female singer, DAMN!!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/hellcat4lyfe72/ hellcat4lyfe72

    @fiyonda I see you eye to eye on this, I think people are just getting tired of her. I really liked Destinys together. I think she’s a media hog, I think she’s arrogant,money hungry and mean. This isn’t about hating (I think she’s beautiful). I do not like the way she sings. Everything she does sounds the same and when she tries to sound soft it makes my ears hurt just a bit. But, when she hits those high notes……..A little trickle of blood comes out of them every time. I lived in a city where she got thrown out of a restaurant for being extremely RUDE to the servers. I have no idea how she got those awards and it pissed me off. She’s a good entertainer don’t get me wrong,but, Melanie Fiona,Lady gaga, Aguilera, Mary J, hell,some everyday people, Have the VOICES that deserved those awards. She needs a reality check. Someone needs to kick that pedestal out from under her.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MoneyMakerWes/ MoneyMakerWes

    in other words she is saying this is her way of introducing all of Beyonce (satanic) occult symbolislm to come.

    Lady Gaga is GARBAGE!!!!…..People don’t even know why they like her music. I can tell you why…BECAUSE THEY PLAY IT AND PRAISE HER A MILLION TIMES A DAY which would of course grow on you. I have never met anyone who can give me a straight answer on why they like her they all so “oh she’s different” and that means what???……….It’s obvious this Lady Gaga is a demon and yes i could ignore her but it becomes a problem when my 4 year old niece starts singing her songs saying she wants to be like this none talent drag queen, THATS A PROBLEM when it effects these children. Even if you control what children see being the fact that it’s everywhere it’s still going to get to them and that presents a problem. Yes God is watching and it’s in his hands but that doesn’t mean I have to remain silent…..

    As far as Beyonce shes “just happy to be here”…CLUELESS!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/crlbrazil/ crlbrazil

    Wow, you ladies n gents are so on point or should I say I’m on point, because before reading this, I thought I was the only one that felt that way about these two women. I am sik of beyonce; everything and I mean everything she does sounds the same and as for lady gaga, what cave did she come out of?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Frenchtipz87/ Frenchtipz87

    Wow, there is alot of harsh comments. I just think that Beyonce needs to take a break, No need to hate on her, she’s not ugly and she can sing, we just need a tiny pause. As for Lady Gaga, I think she is different. She pushes the limits to what we know as cool and in the long run we don’t accept it cause she shoves it down our throats. It is what it is.

    LLMMAAOOO @ Hayzie your mad cause she wasted the honey bun? really dude lmao too funny.

    I’m not even a Lady Gaga fan and I thought this video was pretty dope. I could care less that Beyonce was in the video and personally can’t stand Beyonce, but that’s beside the point. Gaga has some talent and although she is over-the-top I think she can sing. She’s not Christina Aguilera on the vocals, but she isn’t as bad as most of you cats make her out to be.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/tazt21/ tazt21

    People like Gaga the same way they’ve liked other pop artists. No one has to “explain it” because taste is subjective

    I think..especially with her creativity…that Lady Gaga is good. Actually…I think she should have gotten Album of the year at the grammys considering her competition

    Wooowww…..two different worlds and prospectives collide!! I’m not a big Gaga fan but as a musician I do respect her talents. Beyonce is a MegaStar…..she has proven that over and over again, numerous Grammy’s, Millions of records sold around the world, she’s tried her hand in acting, she’s simply spreading her wings to encompass everything she can…..Which is HER decision!! When youre at the “TOP” Everyone wants to throw stones at you!! In my opinion, she doesnt owe ANYBODY any explanations….the track isnt really my type of joint but I took from it the point they were making….entertainment for them and the fans that were feeling what their message.

    i just recently found out what gaga means
    i heard lady gaga song when she be saying rara
    it was stuck in my head when i heard it on the radio
    i jst happened to read the word gaga and decided to
    look it up and you wouldnt believe what gaga was
    and rara
    i let you look it up for yourself
    all i can say this crap is evil (demonic)
    look it up for yourself
    if you believe in GOD you need to be careful what you listen 2
    i got wikipedia.com on my phone and i jst put in the word gaga in and
    all i can say is demonic evil…..look it up for yourself

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/missstrings43/ missstrings43

    Lady Gaga is definitely one interesting invention of a white woman.
    She fits what the real white woman has really become however. A lot of great fashion sense on the outside, creative mind but defected in the mental sense.
    Anyone knowing anything about psychology knows what I am speaking of on that end of the spectrum.
    As for Beyonce, smart. She and her publicist are looking into what makes her fans tick. The results will reflect what she does next.
    A smart black woman looks at All of her options.
    A smart woman predicts her moves.
    A smart woman makes over $80 Million a year.
    Sh!!!!! But we won’t tell anyone else.
    Ok?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/missstrings43/ missstrings43

    PS.. And just for the record,
    I hate this damned video.

    Classy tramp with wanna be classy tramp simply doesn’t have that great a mixture.
    It was intended to make Beyonce look like she was having fun in it however, Gaga is doing her normal and being her NATURAL self throughout the entire video.

    Do I believe Beyonce fit here? No…
    But the money will speak for itself.
    Another smart move for Bee!
    Make that money honey!
    Discuss later.

    @burban22 I looked it up on wikipedia too…It is a dodgeball like game

    Here is the definition from dictionary.com
    ga·ga (gägä)
    adj. Informal
    1. Silly; crazy.
    2. Completely absorbed, infatuated, or excited

    Lady Gaga is actually named after a Queen song “Radio Gaga”

    I honestly think you are giving her too much credit to have planned out that thoroughly the destruction of the world. Besides you might want to check your facts better.

    The video was horrible. Gaga is always trying to stir people up and keep them talking. Most celebrities want to remain in the spotlight but she is way too out there for me. I hate the video. On one hand I’m disappointed in Beyonce but on the other hand, I applaud her for taking a chance. It is just my humble opinion that taking that chance failed miserably. I hope that she doesn’t find herself influenced by Gaga any further.

    As a young lady raised in the church, I was a bit disappointed that Beyonce participated in something so demonic. This was evil and wicked and really confirms what the media is saying about her husband and this new world order mess. I don’t like it at all and she’s losing her fan base with each new release. I’m praying for this confused young lady, she needs Jesus more than ever.
