    This Video Phone video is going to give people seizures. And the song isn't one of her best. But I love the looks Beyonce features.

    It looks like Beyonce is holding Gaga hostage after stealing her mojo. M.I.A must be tied up off screen.

    The quick-cut overlapping video technique is actually sort of interesting. The downside is that this is Hype Williams, so he'll probably reuse the idea for his next 500 videos (as he did with the fisheye lens). #ladygaga

    I agree with whoever that hipster was that opened the video. Beyonce doesn't try. She dresses up, dances/poses with nonsensical props and lip syncs her songs.

    The dance with lady gaga was cute, especially since gaga is getting better at it. But the song, and vid are pretty meh but I'm sure I'll think differently when I'm loaded this weekend. #ladygaga

    The entire Video Phone video leaked last night. If you search for it on YouTube and then sort the results by picking "Newest," you'll probably be able to find one that hasn't been deleted yet.

    I thought the video was kind of meh, but the dance break with Beyonce and Gaga was pretty hot. #ladygaga

    @pooks: I feel like songs in general have taken a pretty hideous dive. Come on "Video Phone"? Who comes up with this shit? The other day I was listening to a rap song called "Throw it in the Bag" promptly fallowed by a song featuring an 8 year old singing about his "One Love". It would seem as though the saddest decline in all the world is that of the American pop star. #ladygaga

    Prejean "has the ability to draw crowds and if she has a strong message to go with that, who knows what she can do? She has star power which can open doors."

    And that, my friends, was the death knell of American Democracy. #ladygaga

    You know, when a totally shit-faced, drunken 93 pound lady wrestles with an incredibly large man who's perhaps holding her arms, that's still 93 pounds of weight flying around. More than enough to bruise her tiny asian arms.

    I'm going to suggest that she had a large part in doing this to herself. Much like I do every time I get hammered and bruise my legs on a bedframe. #ladygaga

    @Pope John Peeps II: I agree that the bruises themselves don't prove that he abused her and aren't inconsistent with his story that he grabbed her to keep her from hurting herself while she was drunk. The drunk and little bruise easily, as I've learned from the personal experience of being both drunk and little at the same time. #ladygaga

    @just assign me a random number: Are you kidding me, that should only make you feel bad if you're a midget. 93lbs isn't an abnormal weight for a woman who's as tall as most 10 year olds. Her microscopic height makes all comparisons to normal people ridiculous.

    It was just the intial shock of, "we're twenty freakin pounds apart," that knocked me over.

    Gaga said in an interview that she didn't want to be 'crazy fashion Gaga' in Beyonce's video, and instead wanted to inhabit Beyonce's world. I think Gaga-as-Beyonce is hilarious, with the blown out wig and the opera gloves. #ladygaga

    I liked GaGa's old nose better - it made her more interesting.

    Regardless, I am so there for this video.

    "It's the perennial conundrum of ostentatiously "unique" vapid people: an insatiable desire to express oneself, but no dust bunnies worth expressing in one's empty little head."

    Heh. Oh so beautifully said. #ladygaga

    @Tara Incognita @KentuckyBabe @Understater: Yessss, I am actually solidly confident on this one. Before making this statement I did a great deal of google image searching. I'd noticed it on recent interviews, but wanted to make sure, since there's always push-back when someone points out celebrity plastic surgery.

    Google Image "Lady Gaga Poker Face", and pay attention to all pictures of her straight on, both candid and polished. Look at those, and then look back at the still, or watch the video. Also, try 'Lady Gaga Wetten Dass" video on Youtube, versus any older video.

    Airbrushed makeup and lighting is a beautiful thing, but it doesn't create sharper edges were there weren't any. Her schnozz was always a bit soft, especially at the bottom. Now the planes are razor sharp on the side.

    I hold firm with my claim! Nor is it something negative, I think of it like commenting on an outfit. It really is what celebrities do, more often than not.
