The wait is almost over! With anticipation now at fever pitch, it has today been confirmed that Lady GaGa and Beyonce eagerly awaited ‘Telephone’ video will have its world premiere on E! News this coming Thursday (March 11th) at 11.30pm.
Directed by John Akerlund, GaGa herself as described it as ‘a true Pop event’, stressing that it is better than the acclaimed ‘Bad Romance’ clip. Roll on Thursday!
Tidbit: Does anyone else feel the level of anticipation surrounding GaGa’s videos have not been seen since the time of Michael Jackson’s releases? It goes without saying (for a number of reasons) that no one can capture the showmanship and mystique Michael exuded, yet it’s so refreshing to see someone come close – GaGa’s videos are becoming world ‘pop culture events’…which is amazing considering how short a time she’s been ‘active’. Go GaGa! Now let’s just hope the video is indeed the business….LOL.
I can’t wait. They need to stop pushing it back. I’m ready to see this greatness.
With all these pushbacks, I hope it realllllllly is epic 😀 Excited! A TV premiere or the video is a good move for promotion too. Speaking of MJ references, her videos are like mini-movies just like Michael.
^^^ for the video*
typo 🙁
Madonna videos were even better than Michael’s
I just really hope it’s worth it. For her to wait -this- long must mean that she has complete confidence that the video will bring the song back into relevancy and I can only hope she’s right. I also hope that they don’t have Beyonce doing anything too far out there and everything is just cohesive and clean. Gaga will be natural in her own setting sure but Beyonce isn’t up on all that a”innovative” s*** like Gaga lol, I’m worried all I’ll be able to think when the cilp comes out is “Forced”. :/
Regardless, here’s hoping there’s no more damn date changes and I’m looking forward to the video.
LOL @ anyone comparing Gaga’s videos to anything Michael Jackson did!! Haha
You had kids staying off school and TV channels specially airing MJ videos, who gives a f*ck about Gaga lol?
ALL HYPE NO TALENT. 200% ASS SHAKING, 110% PRODUCTION, 10% VOCALS.
FOR EVERYTHING ELSE THERE’S MASTERCARD.
I have never and will never be more excited about a video/song than i have for MJ’s..Gaga cant even compare..U MUST BE F***** JOKIN
You know there’s gonna be those gutter trash stans who compare this s*** to Thriller when it comes out, even if it doesn’t live up to its hype.
I get where Sam is coming from.
shut up
Tom Vjestica
Gaga is amazing !!!
MICHAEL JACKSONS VIDEO WERE ANTICIPATED ON TV RAIDO EVERYWHERE
THIS ONLY ON BLOGS
PLEASE
oh my oh my TGJ u are going way too far, r u seriously thinking thw world is paying that much attention to GaGa as is paid 2 Michael?
now that’s just crossing the line that black man will never ever be compared 2 anyone! especially anyone anround this time, so it’s good that the anticipation is really makin u jumo full of excitement but Michael impacted places around the world that u wudn’t even know, even in Africa Michael Jackson’s music and videos were so anticipated to a point where i have no words 2 explain!
and btw for me the anticipation for lady gaga and Beoynce is gone, im very serious at first when u heard they are shooting the video i was oh cool lets see how these two will do telephone since videophone was hot and cold fever mess.. but now i really don care whenever it premieres…
DONT YOU EVER IN YOUR F****** LIFE COMPARE LADY GAGA TO MICHAEL JACKSON
YOU SHOULD GET LYNCHED FOR THAT BLASPHEMY
ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. F*** SAY IGNORANT S***. THEY DONT KNOW S***.
OMG!! I cant believe that you guys are comparing Lady Gaga with music genius Michael Jackson. I dont think she is talented, perhaps she has some catchy tunes but you CANT COMPARE HER WITH MICHAEL!!!
I have a feeling this will be a huge flop.
Ohhhh Nooo please don’t compare MJ to GAGA !!!!
I like Gaga, but MJ !!!!! Come on ! He was the greatest EVER !
Lady Gaga is not that much revolutionnary, she’s original, but she’s not revolutionning the industry ! Michael did !
Anyway, I’m scared that all this anticipation is not really worthy…we’ll see…
out of your damn mind! gaga doesn’t even begin to compare to the genius of MJ and i don’t care for gaga’s video’s!
LMAO
You know, a legend and an true artist is someone that everyone, poor, rich, old, young care and are looking for, that’s why MJ and Madonna are the king and the queen, Lady Gaga doesnt even come close, and never will, it is sad to see that someone like her gets so much attention because she is the only one making some art today, too overrated, only blogs and gays are looking for this video, people that dont spend much time on the internet dont even know that Gaga and Beyonce have a song much less that they will realize a new video, not to talk about that back in the day, MJ and Madonna era, it wasnt all with green screen, there were no great special effects, everything was done with brilliant ideas to make things work, that is what I call art, not someone that is called an artist just because she wears strange hairstyles and strange outfits.
When you made that comparation between Gaga and MJ, a lighting bolt should have hitten your head
Gaga only has 1 great video, which is Bad Romance, Paparazzi was cool but not flawless or even great, the others are just mediocre, Just Dance, Pokerface, Eh Eh and Lovegame, if that can be compared to Michael Jackson let me s*** myself too death please
I can’t wait for this music video of lady gaga i am so excited
WARNING!!!
YOU CAN NEVER COMPARE MICHAEL JACKSON AND MADONNA TO LADY GAGA SHE IS NOT BETTER THAN THEM YOU ARE JUST TOO STUPID TO COMPARE LADY GAGA TO MICHAEL JACKSON AND MADONNA
anyways i am so excited the telephone video is comming iwish they wouldn’t pushback the release date i am soexcited YAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Ok I understand that Gaga can’t be compared to Michael Jackson, that’s pretty obvious. Michael is a legend and Gaga’s only been out for 2 years. But, why does that justify anyone insulting Gaga and claiming her only fans are “gays”. This girl has proven her talent to the world. I don’t know what she needs to do to prove to you people that she’s talented. She sings live, she dances, her tour is f****** amazing. Give credit where credit is due. At least she doesn’t lip sync and wobble around the stage like Britney Spears. She’s a breath of fresh air compared to the rest of the artists of this generation. I’m looking forward to this video and so are a whole lot of other people. Maybe the rest of you should stop being bitter and tune in too.
Do we not read these days? This post is CLEARLY saying that the anticipation of lady gaga’s videos is similar to that of a michael jackson video! Never did he compare her videos to his just the anticipation! I mean everybody knows michael is the king of videos
Chill out people!
They are not comparing it to michael jackson’ videos!
Even if they were, i think Lady GaGa has a great chance 😉
Michael jackson ofcourse revoultionary and is truly outstanding but they cannot be compared as they are from completely different generations and gaga is just begining her careeer.
But as previously mentioned you should stop being so critical of gaga because of this comparison, she never said this did she!!! and also not all her fans are gay, that is what you call blasphomy!!!! i know lots of guys who are straight and going out with girls and who think she is outstanding!!! michael jackson was a true revolutionary but you guys need to look at now and without a doubt this is the most eagerly anticipate videos in years so dont call her deregotary words because of this!!!
she is extremely talented, she can play the piano, sing beautifully live and really put on a show.. i suppose some of you wouldnt realise this because you dont even give her the time of day though… its a shame really isnt it !!!
THE LEVEL OF ANTICIPATION FOR MICHAEL JACKSON DOESNT EQUATE TO THE LEVEL OF ANTICIPATION FOR LADY GAGA
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.
MICHAELS VIDEOS WERE HUGE. EACH VIDEO ….LADY GAGA HAD 1 GOOD VIDEO.
WHAT THE HELL IS THE COMPARISON FOR.
I HAD NO IDEA THAT HER VIDEO WAS EVEN COMING OUT…..MICHAEL CONQUERED THE WORLD. HE HAD PEOPLE CRYING. PEOPLE BLOCKED OUT WHOLE DAYS TO WATCH HIS VIDEO…..NO ONE BUT GAYS ARE CHECKING FOR LADY GAGA
LADY GAGA WILL NEVER ACCOMPLISH THAT IN HER LIFE.
btw i meant that compared to other videos today this is eagerly anticipated
you cant beat the anticipation for mj videos because it wud just be impossible!!
Who are you to say what Gaga will accomplish in her life? You don’t control her destiny. And what do you have against gays? I guess you’re a homophobe as well a complete douchebag.
i just dont think you can compare the two especially now there is like youtube and stuff
and it was a completely different time but how can one person decide her fate.. i mean forgodsake give her a break shes just starting out and in the future i feel there will be more highly anticipated videos
and i think people are mentionin gay people badly because they are scared of the fact that she is a success.. you cannot deny that selling 35 million singles and 9million albums in under 2 years in this music climate isnt fantastic and sublime!!
yes gaga stan here and proud. but she cannot be compared to MJ , maybe in 10 – 20 years time if she is still around then maybe. and some people going mad saying that sam is comparing her to MJ, can you idiots even read, he is comparing to the anticipation of the video, not the actual video or the artist. some people are really pathetic, get their facts right and read the actual post properely.
I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE VIDEO BUT TO COMPARE HER TO MICHAEL JACKSON IS CRAZY
MADONNA VIDEOS WAS DUMB AS HELL I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT JANET JACKSON HAD BETTER VIDEOS THAN MADONNA
Sam you’re an idiot. Your lose in the blogosphere as Michael Jackson’s video were anticipated all over the world… not just the internet. Calm the f*** down–The only reason a condiderable amount of people are still talk about the Telephone video is because it’s getting pushed back, Michael Jackson didn’t have to push back his videos to generate more attention. Once again… you’re an idiot.
I like Lady GG and all, but this hype surrounding the video is a bit much and to compare that anticipation to the release of any video by MJ is just ridiculous.
Michael was/is and will always be in a class all by himself. Please stop with the comparisons. That is just an insult to his legacy.
Greatest of all time is Michael Jackson. Forever.
@Blasian
See Erotica video, study that video story then talk to me, Madonna broke all the stardands with that video and song, she was an anarchist, a genious with no musical talent, yet, she is still here, no wonder that experts say that she has a level of intelligence higher then normal people, she really is smart and that is why she is the Queen Of Pop, and I dont even like her
Alright bring it on!!! Let’s hope it’s not pushed back again. I can’t wait till thursday!!! Woohooooo
I think the hype surrounding Gaga’s video is great, but a little bit more manufactured than the anticipation surrounding MJ’s videos.
I think the comparison is appropriate, but with a note of caution: his label didn’t create the anticipation…..HE created it by being Michael Joseph Jackson….the King of Pop.
Her video’s are the most anticipated since MJ, thanks to her label.
f***. my. life.
ive been waiting for it ON GUARD for weeks now. FML
it better be as good as pie >_>
but with LG working on it im sure its fine.
never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever compare gaga to michael jackson
NO-ONE IS COMPARING MICHAEL JACKSON AND LADY GAGA. get it in to your heads, its actually quite pathetic!
^ ^
O_O
Bitter much? Haha anyway roll on thursday!r.i.p mj LONG LIVE THE KING!
Matt,i second that! People saw lady gaga and michael jackson in the same sentence and flipped out
when MJ was at tha top he was in comparable ……
I made that same exact comparison a week or two ago on this site about the anticipation for Lady Gaga’s Telephone and a Michael Jackson video.
No one is saying she’s anywhere near MJ’s sheer dominance of anything entertainment. What I think is being said is that unlike many other artists who just shoot a video, edit it and drops it like it’s just another can on the factory conveyor belt, Gaga is taking a leaf from MJ’s book in relation to emulating his showmanship and the building of anticipation for a video. I think she may have even been studying up on Michael Jackson a little.
It’s aiight to compare Gaga and MJ as far as her emulating him (everyone emulates Michael Jackson… EVERYONE) it’s when people start saying she is anywhere close to his league that you should start lynching people lol.
Sam, she’s no where close to Michael Jackson, she emulates him but that’s like saying that just because Rihanna sang a Mariah Carey song in a high school pageant that she “comes close” to Mariah Carey’s voice.
yawn do it already
TRENT GET SAM OF THIS BLOG NOW. MICHEAL JACKSON AND LADY GAGA. ARE FOR REAL? I USED TO STOP PLAYING DOUBLE DUTCH TO WATCH THE PEPSI COMMERCIAL. GAGA IS GOOD AND ALL. BUT NO WAY IN HELL WILL SHE EVER COMPARE TO MICHEAL JACKSON. DUDE YOU LITERALLY MUST HAVE FALLEN OF THE BACK OF A TURNUP TRUCK. NEGRO ARE U NEW ? LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
are they for sure this time? lol
This video doesn’t have to be amazing, but it better be good and better then videophone at least. Which i’m sure it will because Gaga has that creative touch
Marketing wise, they are sooo smart! All they are doing is pumping up everybody for the release of this video..making it seem like its God’s gift to humanity. They push back the date…and tell u all that it’s b/c they want it to be crazy for the fans..puhleeze…This video may be good for the gaga and beyonce stans, but im SURE it’s NOT going to be what you all expect. Ya’ll can be mad at me if you want, but for someone who studies marketing, they already got you all HOOKED.
It’s all a strategy to sell more records. The video has already been done…they make you wait, so you will be even more anxious…IT’S ABOUT THE MONEY PEOPLE! THE MONEY!
WHAT A COLLABORATION! Both artists are absolutely amazing, regaurdless of what people think. Beyonce is actually in the top 10 best vocalists of all time, just for people who think she can’t sing!!!! Plus she doesn’t mime when live, how many artists can dance like she does and sing live at the same time, NOT MANY!!!! Michael was indeed one and Beyonce is too. Gaga is amazing and her music is fantastic, she has not been around in the music industry for long, but still she is huge. Both Beyonce and Gaga are legends and will go down in history for their unique talents, ‘telephone’ is an awsome song and I cannot wait for the mini movie.
@Truthwillprevail
This is so true. I don’t get it at all it’s just a video nothing special at all.
This is the first music event I have ever noticed. I don’t know whether I just wasn’t noticing, can’t remember or didn’t care but This is the first music video event thing that’s happend since the ones ages ago like the Michael Jackson. I haven’t seen a Michael Jackson premiere type ever so I’m excited about this, and if Gaga is bringing this type of thing back then more power to her. She has put a lot into the industry and she is proving to be some big competition. I didn’t like her until Lovegame / Paparazzi really I just thought she was another singer who will be around for a year, will make money and bugger off. But I’m into her now and I appreciate and I like her and she WILL be around to stay. The hype around this video is begin, the song has done well and its unveiling is like something that would happen with Michael Jackson. With him dead now and many other artists just being the new crowd or the oldies slowly fading from the scene I’m glad Gaga is bringing something back. Comparing this to MJ is exactly right, you name me videos recently that would have filled those boots – and don’t give me any Single Ladies crap that video was boring ans the song was annoyin (I don’t hate beyonce). If you ask me after this long ass comment ROLL ON THURSDAY!
Are you kidding me? “Only gays like her”
Grow the f*** up and stop being so close minded. And while you’re at it, stop typing in caps.
The video is directed by JONAS akurland not. JOHN #juststatingfacts
DID THIS GUY REALLY COMPARE GAGA TO MICHAEL JACKSON?!?!
WOW, WHAT A IDIOT.
WHOSE ANTICIPATING THIS VIDEO THAT BAD OTHER THAN HER FANS?! IDK ONE……
I bet anyone who says how crazy people are who say that Gaga might be the biggest thing since MJ is OVER age 35.
Of course you OLD people are going to say that no one is better than MJ. He was YOUR pop Icon. I’m not saying Gaga’s the best but she’s only been around for a 1 1/2 years and she’s already had so much success.
It’s 2010… it’s time to move on.
@ Sean
I’m in my early 20s… what’s your next excuse?
It’s not an excuse, I just think a lot of older people have a very strong bias towards their performers/ actors form 20-30+ years ago. It’s the same when the annual debate comes up whether the performers at the Superbowl are too old like The Who. The older generations always think their performers should be shown on the tv and played on the radio until the end of the time because everything made now is crap. I realize that you cant compare Gaga’s 2 years to Mj’s 20 but some people will never accept the Idea that something made by the current generation can have any merit.
Tbh who ever anonymous is saying ‘only gays like lady gaga’ will be a massive population :L so like 42m x5 is quite alot I think :L so get lost. Also if you don’t like lady gaga what is the point on commenting ? And also I don’t get why earlier on everyone was comparing lady gaga to MJ . Anyway I hate MJ and I don’t care what you think. But to be honest I think GAGA will be gone in q couple of years. Anyway about this video !!!! It was supposed o
to be premiering on MTV tomorrow 🙁 anyway I can’t wait to see this because I’m. A massive fan of her and beyonce! Now everyone just shutup about insulting gaga !! It’s doing my heading and does it matter if someone likes her? Like say how would u feel if I took to micky out of MJ? I might hate him but he created pop! Now stop bloody argueing :@ o ye I LOVE THE SONG TELEPHONE ALREADY!!!!!! ;D
@ Kate
Is English your first language?
Omg, people relax!! Just because Michael Jackson was good, doesn’t mean nobody else is going to top him! If anybody can do it, its Gaga! The woman has barely been doing music for 2 years and she is huge!! She is revolutionizing the music industry! So relax and enjoy the music, and stop spluring hate! Btw the video is around 10 min!
ITS CAUSE THE MEDIA IS CRAMMING HER DOWN OUR THROATS AND BEYONCE IS USING HER TO STAY RELEVANT! IT DIGUST ME THE WAY GAGA IS ALLOWING BEYONCE TO RIDE HER COATTAILS AND MERGE INTO HER BRAND TO STAY CONNECTED! UUGGHHH ITS ANNOYING!
IT WOIULD BE AN EVENT IF BEYONCE WASNT CONNECTED TO IT! THE SONG IS OKAY! JUST OKAY! ITS NOT HARDLY A GOOD SONG, BUT THEY OVER HYPING THE VIDEO TO COVER UP THE MEDIOCRE MUSIC! GTFOH
BEYONCE…
“TAKE A BREAK BISH!”
AND YES…
I DONT AGREE WITH COMPARING HER TO MICHAEL! HER MORE SO THAN BEYONCE I WILL ACCEPT, BUT NO U CANT COMPARE HER! NOT AT THIS POINT. SHE HASNT DONE ENOUGH, SHE HASNT BEEN CONSISTANT ENOUGH. SHE HASNT BEEN IN THE BUSONESS LONG ENOUGH.
SHE IS CREATIVE ENOUGH, SHES NOTAFFRAID TO TAKE RISK, AND HAS CHANGED THINGS. (SOMETHING BEYONCE HAS NOT YET DONE) BUT STILL ITS TOO SOON.
I AM SICK OF BEYONCE BEING ON HER STUFF, ALL SHES DOING IS TAKING AWAY FROM GAGA LEGACY AND SUBMERGING IT INTO HER OWN. ONCE AGAIN FORCING HER WAY INTO THINGS. BEYONCE IS BEYOND OVERRATED, AND THESE NEW ARTIST NEED TO STOP LETTING HER USE THEM!
Get the f*** out of here mario! Lady gaga top michael jackson? Even you don’t believe that bs you topped mj did more than gaga when he was young before he reached off the wall! Beyonce using lady gaga for publicity? Ha not likely!get a life long live mj!go bey and gaga
The truth! What truth do you speak? Beyonce has you bitter! See you thursday! Oh both alicia and lady gaga ASKED BEE TO COLLABORATE NEVER DID SHE BEG! She asked gaga for a collaboration which she didn’t promote and gaga asked for a collaboration so get that straight
seriously…I agree with the other commenter…ain’t no one checking for this video but stans.
even the fans has had enough of the garbage they put out from the last collaboration. it was straight up garbage.
Lady gaga can’t dress for sh*t and beyoncshit is an over exposed heffa. the b*tch just wants to be everywhere and people are already tired of her 45 year looking like a giraffe self. she’s ugly any way and she’s all hype. when is she going to sit down and have a baby…her man is too busy sucking and licking alicia homewrecking a.*s*s and rihtards dusty used self.
i aint being funny or anything but it seems like lady gaga is trying to hype it up herself by delaying it and biggin it right up!…i dont think many people really know and care about it beying premierd! Her chrorogrethor is a idiot to comparing it to thriller, nothing can be compared to thriller as thriller set the standard in music videos! And plus when thriller was out people were going out buying the freakin short film.. he made millions just from the video. Lady gaga prob will sell a few thousand via itunes..
i really have a feeling it is just going to be a good video for a few months (like bad romance) then forgotton like a lot of the videos made nowadays (as theres new videos being released every other day).
Wow… why 80% of the commenters above act like someone has a gun to their head making them read and comment this blog post. I bet all of em will be watching the video when it premieres, so save your keystrokes till Thursday.
CAN YALL READ??????? HE IS NOT COMPARING VIDEOS!! HE SIMPLY SAID THE ANTICIPATION FOR THE VIDEO HAS NOT BEN SEEN SINCE MJ’S VIDEOS! WHICH IS KIND OF TRUE SINCE GAGA IS SO CREATIVE.
WoW! I know people can probably read what Sam wrote but what exactly is their comprehension level??? Read it again and maybe people would understand what he was trying to convey.
Anyways, this ish better be EPIC because I’m sorry all this pushing back only makes me less interested. Not that I was that interested before because it’s just a GAGA video which will replay and be youtube’d so yeah, whatever. Although I hope it lives up to its hype, I seriously doubt it will, but we’ll have to wait and see. (hopefully it won’t be pushed back again)
Ok it’s true you can’t compare the two but you have to relize something Michael had been in the music industry far longer than Gaga, it took years for people to be wowed by his music genious and that was when he became a solo artist. I don’t remember people being crazed about seeIng ABC. We can’t compare the two they are in two completely different time frames and they both are artist in every sense of the word. However for all that Gaga has accompolished in the two years she has been out is phenomenal. I know one fact we can definitely say she has more talent then Taylor swift. True it will take some time for everyone to be wowed by gaga but give her some time and around the world people will know her name everywhere. She is a huge fan of Michael Jackson and he has inspired her in so many ways as like other artist but she will be great. She has been nominated for so many awards and I congratulate her. Instead of comparing the two let’s thank both artists for what they have achieved.
I absolutely love this song I heard it a while a go but wasn’t sure if she was going to come out with a video for it. Knowing Gaga it will be crazy cuz she does not disappoint! I don’t really like Beyonce although I respect her as an artist and music I don’t like how she acts like she’s God’s gift to earth and she flopped on videophone. She (B) asked Gaga to write a song and Gaga wrote the hook in videophone she then wrote telephone and beyonce knew she couldn’t pass this song up. This song is FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MUCH LOVE FOR GAGA
AND FOR ALL U HATERS TALKIN BOUT GAGA SHE NOW HAS SIX NUMBER 1’S IN AMERICA ALONE. ARE YOU F****** KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS CHICK WAS BARELY EVEN KNOWN A YEAR AGO AND NOW SHE’S SMASHING IT. I UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE MICHAEL THING HAS GOT U BENT BUT COME ON PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LISTEN TO HER S*** FROM BEFORE SHE GOT FAMOUS. HER ACOUSTICS. YOU DO REALIZE SHE WAS IN THE INDUSTRY WRITING FOR OTHER PEOPLE WAY BEFORE AKON EVEN NOTICED HER DEF JAM HIRED HER AT 19 SO SHUT UP PEOPLE! SHE IS VERSATILE AND EXCEPTIONAL LIVE WHEN SHE WANTS SHE’S JUST ECCENTRIC AND LIKES TO MIX IT UP SO IT’S NOT THE SAME NIGHT AFTER NIGHT !!! PLUS SHE DOES ALL HER STAGES AND CLOTHES, IS A PARTNER WITH POLAROID ARE YOU GUYS STUPID!!!!!!!!! DO UR HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU TALK GAGA IS A GENIUS. BEYONCE IS JUST A PAWN IN THE BUSINESS AND NEEDS TO GET THE WHOLE OFF IT I DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW U CAN BE A WIFE AND DON’T EVEN COOK OR CLEAN WHEN U DO GET HOME. SHE NEEDS TO TAKW TIME OFF AND FOCUS ON THAT EWWWW BEYONCE.
Omg! i thought it was today ! this waiting is killing me! GaGA pleaseee.:!
