Lady Gaga / Beyonce - Telephone (music video)

This video came out yesterday and while it's been blogged to death already, I wanted to have it on record on mine as well.

I am by no means a Pop music fanatic; however, I do like many of Lady Gaga's songs.  I really did steer clear of her for a long time because I had assumed she was just another one-hit wonder.  But time went on, the music got catchier, and the outfits more ridiculously fabulous.  I finally broke down when she released a double disc version of The Fame Monster which also included The Fame.

Now, I don't listen to it often and don't like every song, but there are some good ones included.  This video song is NOT one of my favorites, but I love the video none-the-less.

Why? Because Lady Gaga is not afraid to take a risk and own her personality creation.  In that ownership is a confidence and outlandishness.  Pop music should be crazy and "out there" or else it'd be boring.  Lady Gaga is pushing the boundaries of what is acceptable, much like a Madonna of the past.  I am happy she got Beyonce in her song/video to play along.  This only makes Beyonce seem cooler than she is.

I have heard this will be a trilogy short film video.  Enjoy the first part...
