Tele-tele-telephone ❤



...So ab this "epic" video. Personally, [before all you Gaga && Beyonce clit-suckers pounce] I think both of them are GREAT performers. I respect both of their crafts, because even though both of them can sing and dance yada yada yada, they are NOT a match. Beyonce's voice in strong and full with that R&B/pop sound we have all come to love [or despise]... and Lady Gaga also haqs a great voice that is more techno/electric/pop -ish. So why in the hell they decided to do music together is BEYOND me. Both songs sound non-cohesive, like it should be one singer or the other... and it should. The video, starting with "Videophone," looks like they are competing with each other from the beginning. Gaga sounds terrible trying to make her pop sound translate into a R&B radio sound... FAIL. What's even worse... the inevitable dance sequence. Beyonce is CLEARLY more curvy than Gaga and makes her look anorexic, then the dance is one of sexy and sultry components, which in no way suits Lady Gaga. In my opinion it looks like Old school Cindy Lauper vs. Janet Jackson (circa "That's the Way Love Goes" not "Rhythm Nation Janet) lol... The whole thing is awkward. And NOW to the entree, this video. WOMP! First off, it takes too damn long to start, && when it does, it takes anoth 3mins to grasp the concept... FAIL. Then, as with it's predecessor, they make the same mistakes. Two ENTIRELY different styles clashing to make one utterly BAD video. I will say, in both videos they had GREAT [not epic] styling, scenery, all that technical jazz, but frmo a performance and muscial standpoint, they blow. Why waste the air time? In my opinion, downloads && concerts are the real cash-cow, so why in the hell are record companies still wasting money on videos? Who are they playing them for, the up and coming tweens? ...The fuck outta here. The video age is almost dead, && this shit makes me wanna get my guillotine && make it go a little faster... Slow musical deaths hurt everybody && are especially detrimental to the eyes and ears of the audience.
