Theres been a lot of controversy regarding Beyonce’s role in Lady Gaga’s video for the single “Telephone” which features Bey on the track. In the nine minute explicit version of the video we’re taking through Lady Gagas raunchy stint in an all womens prison then watch as Beyonce bails her out in the infamous “Pussy Wagon” from Kill Bill then shoves a honeybun into her mouth. You’ll have to peep the video to see what happens next but you can see where the controversy is coming from. This is a departure from Beyonce’s usual video roles but it being a Lady Gaga production, should we be surprised? Beyonce recently addressed the issue during a radio interview with LA’s Power 106 FM.
“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.”
I think beyonce is singing better every day, is a great professional.
