Inspired by the Warhol's exploration of mass consumer culture and advertising through his Campbell's soup studies, Gaga and Akerlund challenge the gender stereotype of the "perfect housewife" portrayed heavily in 1950s pop culture, using Wonder Bread and Miracle Whip as their artistic devices. To give Gaga a fair and fighting chance, we've deconstructed her pièce de résistance-and were rather surprised with what we came up with:Īlternating between Japanese and comic book-style subtitles, the video channels Gaga's beloved pop art pioneers Roy Lichenstein and Andy Warhol. We shouldn't just assume that a woman who cares so much about aesthetic and artistic value would just spew out a string of seemingly random images and product placements. She's a great singer, captivating performer, pushes the boundary of style-she's basically a walking performance art piece. However, Gaga's talents aren't without merit. It's easy to say you want to take something with "quite shallow meaning, and turn it into something deeper," but just because your video has a "Tarantino-inspired quality" doesn't make it profound. While many on the interwebs are raving about Gaga's latest, others wonder where the substance is.

Saying she is "always trying to convolute the idea of what a pop music video should be," Gaga told E! that she wanted to take "the idea that America is full of young people that are inundated with information and technology and turn it into something that was more of a commentary on the kind of country that we are."
Teaming up with " Paparazzi" director Jonas Akerlund, "Telephone" picks up where his previous video left off-with Gaga heading to the slammer after killing off a lover who did her wrong. It was also performed during the Super Bowl LI halftime show, and many of the singer's later tours, the most recent being the Joanne World Tour (2017–2018).Lady Gaga's latest music video, "Telephone," premiered last week, and the 9 ½ minute spectacle was nothing short of what you'd expect from the Gagaloo. In memory of Alexander McQueen, Gaga performed an acoustic rendition of "Telephone" mixed with "Dance in the Dark" at the 2010 BRIT Awards. In January 2015 Billboard named it the best video of the first half of the decade. The video received generally positive reviews and was nominated for three awards at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, including one for Video of the Year. The video referenced Quentin Tarantino and his films Pulp Fiction (1994) and Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003). After the homicide they escape and end up in a high-speed police chase. After Gaga gets bailed out of prison by Beyoncé, they go to a diner and poison the guests having breakfast. The accompanying music video is a continuation of the video for her 2009 song, "Paparazzi", and is also shot as a short film. According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, the single sold 7.4 million digital copies worldwide in 2010, making it one of Gaga's best-selling singles. The song was particularly successful in Europe where it reached the top of the charts in Belgium, Denmark, Hungary, Ireland, Norway and the United Kingdom.
"Telephone" charted in a number of countries due to digital sales following the album's release, namely in the United States, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden and Hungary. It was Grammy-nominated for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals in 2011. The song received positive reviews from critics who frequently noted "Telephone" as a stand-out track from The Fame Monster. Beyoncé appears in the middle of the song, singing the verses in a rapid-fire way, accompanied by double beats.
Musically, "Telephone" consists of an expanded bridge, verse-rap and a sampled voice of an operator announcing that the phone line is unreachable. Originally, Gaga wrote the song for Britney Spears, who recorded a demo. Inspired by her fear of suffocation, Gaga explained that the lyrics preferring relaxing on the dance floor to answering her lover's phone call are a metaphor, the phone calling her representing the fear of not having worked hard enough to succeed. The song was written by Gaga, Rodney Jerkins, LaShawn Daniels, Lazonate Franklin and Beyoncé. The song features American singer Beyoncé. "Telephone" is a song recorded by American singer Lady Gaga for her third EP, The Fame Monster (2009), the reissue of her debut studio album The Fame (2008).
