Lady Gaga - Telephone

"Telephone" was originally written by Gaga for singer Britney Spears's sixth studio album, Circus, but Spears rejected it. Later, Gaga recorded the song as a collaboration with Beyoncé for The Fame Monster. Gaga said, "I wrote it for her [Spears] a long time ago and she just didn't use it for her album. It's fine because I love the song and I get to perform it now." Additionally, the guest vocalist was originally going to be Spears, but ultimately Gaga made Beyoncé the featured vocalist instead. The main inspiration behind the song was Gaga's fear of suffocation as she felt that she seldom found time to just let loose and have fun.

In November 2009 due to strong digital sales, the song charted in Ireland, Australia, and the United Kingdom, debuting at numbers twenty-six, twenty-nine, and thirty respectively. The song became the top debut on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 issue dated December 12, 2009, at number thirty-five, due to digital sales. After weeks of fluctuating up the charts, "Telephone" reached a peak of three, becoming Gaga's sixth consecutive top ten hit in the United States.

The music video is over nine minutes long and begins where "Paparazzi" left off after Gaga was arrested for killing her boyfriend by poisoning his drink. Gaga is taken to a women's prison, where she is led to her cell by two prison guards, who strip her of shoulder-padded dress and left lying nude, while she is mocked by the other women prison inmates. One of the guards comments: "I told you she didn't have a dick", referring to the rumors that Gaga is intersex. For the video's first three minutes, it shows Gaga's activities in the prison — including kissing a lesbian prisoner (Heather Cassils) in the exercise yard, wearing sunglasses made out of half-smoked cigarettes, and watching catfights in the commissary. Gaga's sister, Natali Germanotta, makes a cameo in the commissary scene. After that, Gaga answers a call from Beyoncé, and begins to sing the song. She performs the first verse and chorus with other scantily clad inmates, followed by a bridge featuring Gaga wearing a yellow caution tape outfit designed by Brian Lichtenberg. lady gaga, beyoncé, jay z, justin timberlake, justin bieber, ariana grande, miley cyrus, one direction, kardashians, paul mccartney, john lennon, the beatles, the pope, barack obama, obama, usa, united states, how to get any woman, jennifer lopez, kim kardashian, taylor swift, brasil, brazil, india, pakistan, china, making money, angelina jolie, brad pitt, leonardo dicaprio, brangelina, george clooney, cbs, cnn, abc, nbc, how to get any girl, dating, secrets about dating, celebreties, celebs, hollywood, warner bros, universal, disney, fashion, vogue, marie claire, mick jagger, rolling stones, vangelis, charlie sheen, emma watson, katy perry, parineeti chopra, nargis fakhri, huma qureshi, shraddha kapoor, sonakshi sinha, kareena kapoor, kangana ranaut, Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, John Abraham, Ranbir Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan, Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Cui Jian, Fan Bingbing, Jay Chou, Andy Lau, Jackie Chan, Zhang Ziyi,Eason Chan, Yang Mi, Huang Xiaoming, Jolin Tsai, Lin Chi-ling, Hatsune Miku, Norika Fujiwara, Yukie Nakama, Koyuki Kato, Nanako Matsushima, Misaki Iton, Yuko Takeuchi, Ko Shibasaki, Meisa Kuroki, Keito Kitagawa, Miki Nakatani, Girls’ Generation, SNSD, Big Bang, Ryu Hyun-Jin, Choo Shin-Soo, Psy, SHINee, Yuna Kim, Jeon Ji Hyun, Ha Ji Won, Song Hye Kyo, Kim Soo Hyun, Lee Byung Hun, Vanessa Paradis, david guetta, Bérénice Bejo, Olivier Martinez, halle berry, Vincent Cassel, Monica Bellucci, Gaspard Ulliel, Eva Green, Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, disney studios, Élodie Bouchez, Lea Séydoux, Marion Cotillard, daft punk,
