Beyonce had a song called "Video Phone." Lady GaGa has a song called "Telephone." Why they opted not to include Britney Spears, who sings about "Phonography," for their little team-up is a question we may never know the answer to. What the callabo looks like, however, we'll learn when Hype Williams's video of their duet premieres tonight at midnight.
We are not far from Jay-Z rapping over a Lady Gaga track. The GaGa already secured Madonna in her pop music takeover quest (or Madonna secured GaGa for her pop music rehabilitation tour) and now she's got Beyonce — who is, arguably, the genre's biggest star behind, or perhaps in front of, Ms. Spears — lending her cred. And her fans.
Things work in reverse as well; Beyonce appears on GaGa's "Telephone" single, currently making the radio playlist rounds. Will one of these works become the next "Single Ladies"? Or "Just Dance"? Doubtful. But this intersection of lady tune-age will keep the gays warm all winter.
UPDATE: Here's the full video.

The video got leaked in youtube already…
and they both look fierce!
Meh, the video is subpar and feels disjointed. The walk at the beginning isn't connected to anything else, the guns don't fit and it appears Beyonce & Gaga weren't even together for the filming. Overall a crap song with a mediocre video. Love them both but this collaboration feels like a failure.
I don't even think video phone should be a music video anyways. Why can't Gaga be featured on Radio instead? She seems more fit for that song, plus video phone was the whackest song on Shasha Fierce album.
When Lady Gaga does something, it's Fabulous! When Beyonce does it, it's Rihanna-ish! Why don't Beyonce, Mariah and Janet stop whispering songs and stop throwing their aging fat booties around for a coked-up Jay-Z (or wannabe?) Single Ladies was a classic but this is like "What's Kylie doing? I want to be fiercer than Rihanna, or heads will roll! Get Lady Gaga!" Take a rest Ms Knowles and have a few babies before your eggs dry up and give us a break from your career desperation and lack of ideas for interesting lyrics! Love, Ciara!
They both look like sad females in desperate need of attention. Why the excessive skin? Can't they just put on a decent suit? All this flaunting of female flesh simply props up the fantasies of sleazy straight guys who don't care a rat's about rights.
It's time for both Beyonce and Lady Ga Ga to call it quits.
Wow Rihanna put on some weight…looks good.
Sorry i mean Beyonce.
