BEETLE REVIEWS LADY GAGA TELEPHONE VIDEO
Hey there Beetle-heads. I know I'm ALOT late on this one, but I just saw Lady Gaga's vid for her new song Telephone and I just had to share my thoughts on it. Most of her videos are like watching a train wreck, their really bad but you can't turn away and Telephone is just like this as well. The video has no point to it. Gaga gets arrested (For killing fashion I'd guess) and is promptly stripped down as the 2 female guards muse that she doesn't have a dick. Eventually she breaks into song, shortly afterward she gets bailed out by Beyonce. They drive around in the Pussy Wagon from Kill Bill and end up poisioning a shit-load of people in a diner. They manage to escape with cops in pursuit. That's pretty much it to the video. There's lots of dancing (alot of it bad), skimpy outfits, and some more bizarre outfits that Gaga wears including one made up entirely of caution Tape and another one that includes sunglasses adorned with smoking ciggerettes. By far, the most bizarre thing about the video though, was the product placements that show up in just about every frame of the video. Virgin Mobile, Plenty of Fish.com, Miracle Whip, Wonder-Bread, etc!!! And the placements aren't subtle, most consisting of extreme close-ups of said product. It just pissed me off by sheer annoyance, which I'm guessing is what Gaga was going for in the video. The whole video was pretty annoying,to be honest. Beyonce takes part in alot of jumpy shots of her hitting her head and yelling into the phone, Gaga blurts out mother-fucker several times, and it all ends with them both driving the Pussy-Wagon into the sunset with the words TO BE CONTINUED pasted onto the screen. Thanks, but no thanks Gaga...I think I'll sit the sequel out.

Gaga is a definite talent. She'll strip away all the needless garbage in a couple of years and let her work speak for itself and leave the costumes for an auction a la Elton John and Madonna.
