Watching Beyonce and Lady Gaga's music video 'Video Phone' made us dizzy because of the eyeball-popping colors and head-spinning edits. Honestly, watching it might be harmful to your health. (And what's with the duo manhandling AK-47s?) But interestingly enough, Lady Gaga is toned down and looks, dare we say, normal.There have been mixed reviews on the video that just debuted November 16. The NY Post wasn't sold on the video: "In a massive attempt to bring hype and shock, Beyonce has released her video for 'Video Phone' featuring eight new looks... and glorified back-up dancer Lady Gaga. I will admit the video is pretty to look at, and Lady Gaga holds her own... but the womanizing undertones and dance for your dinner chair routine have my tummy feeling icky."
Even Creative Loafing questioned some of the video antics, "Why exactly was Lady Gaga in this video? Her voice adds nothing to what was actually a pretty mediocre song. And the dance sequence with Beyonce and Lady Gaga? Hey, Gaga can't keep up with Beyonce's poppin' and shakin.' (But, then, who can?!) On top of that, Gaga looks a little emaciated next to the more athletic B. Regarding other aspects of the video, what's up with all the guns? Not sure what that has to do with a video phone."
Gaga told MTV that she wanted to honor Beyonce for creating her own style. "I wanted to [work with her] because this was an era for her in her career where she defined herself aesthetically," she said. "And that should be applauded that a woman did that. She's so great at what she does."
Gaga revealed she told Beyonce, "I don't want to show up in some frickin' hair bow and be fashion Gaga in your video.' I said, 'I want to do you.'"
