Does it even matter anymore if Gaga’s “pretending” to be this weird, globe conquering glamazon? If that’s the case, a nice percentage of artists out there need to start pretending because she’s doing the damn thing!

I have to admit, when the vid firsts open up and homeboy’s rockin’ the fishnets and stilletto’s I was prepared to be over this video quick.. but things start to look (and straigten) up and this becomes so much more than a video. It’s fun to see things like this that remind us how far music videos have become since they were pioneered in the 80′s [thanks Mike!].

This video for Alejandro, directed by famed fashion photographer Steven Klein is a riot. The aesthetics are amazing, Gaga looks dope as shit, and per usual you probably don’t know what the fuck is going on, which only makes for more hypnotizing entertainment.

Gaga is a star. She could end up a legend, and everyone who hates on her are just that… haters. What, you don’t understand her? Her music is too “OD” .. sounds to me like a simpleton saying someone’s music isn’t simple enough for their tastes. You want basic, go HERE . Other than that, stay tuned.

Gaga’s trying to rule the [pop] world… watch out Bey.

PS:

Put you up on game time

Being that it was directed by Mr. Klein I think it’s clear to say that he drew inspiration from his Klein Academy spread he published in W Magazine last year featuring supermodel Lara Stone:

A few similarities, no?

AR!

*Update* Now, that I’ve gotten to actually enjoy the video myself I can only say the following. I loved it. This video goes back to what music videos use to be all about-imaginative, visual delights that keep you intrigued from start to finish. The dancing was inventive (and reminiscent of “Thriller”), the acting from Gaga and Beyoncé was refreshingly sarcastic and witty and the visuals were a cinematographers dream. Lady Gaga usually has very crazy and out-there videos, and this one is no different. Great job.

Thoughts?

Cj…

For the new music today I thought it would be cool if majority of the artists weren’t big names. So, lets kick it off with two names you should know followed by a few names trying to get their break into the industry.

[Monica-One in a Lifetime]

[Kandy Life- Lady Gaga] (recorded before her first album)

[Winner-Krys Ivory]

[Tipsy- Tayma Loren ft. The Dream]

[Sex Playlist-Chrishan]

Enjoy.

Cj..

Finally, here it is. The official video for Beyonce‘s “Video Phone” remix featuring Lady Gaga. I have yet to watch it, because I was rushing to beat CJ to it. Hope we enjoy!

**UPDATE** Well, now that I watched it I can’t stop laughing. This video is ghetto as hell, and I can tell Beyonce was having fun with it. It didn’t exactly fulfill the hype, but it served it’s purpose and it was cute.

The video still isn’t here. In fact, its release has been pushed back until November 23. But, some screen caps from the video have surfaced.

Hmm.

Thoughts?

Cj..

The video still isn’t here. But Beyonce’s Video Phone Remix audio featuring Lady Gaga dropped today, as well as Telephone, Gaga’s latest single from The Fame Monster album featuring Beyoncé.

Video Phone Remix

Download HERE

The intro is amazing. You feel the anticipation rising…slowly…waiting…and waiting…—for the regular version. But all is not lost, Gaga goes hard. She just sounds like a bad b****.  I just wanna see the blasted video. When the beat breaks down about 2/3 through the song after Gaga’s verse, I know they’re going to do something silly. Can’t wait.

Telephone

This song is all about energy. Clubs are going to go nuts with this, especially in Europe. Smart move. Beyoncé beasts this shit. [Love how they both provide the best verses on each other's songs, it's an interesting, but welcomed switch.]

PS

Sing Like Me

Chris Brown just released his next single “Sing Like Me” tonight on his website. I like it. But his music just isn’t moving me like it has before… and thats not prejudice talking. #StepItUpChris.

What do you think?

I was pleasantly suprised with the selection today. Enjoy!

As crazy as this bitch is…the video is actually pretty dope.

Aisha

Some of you think she tries too hard. She’s not organic. She fabricates this image.

FAKE!

No one is that... Weird

Well, I don’t know if I can agree with that.

With every interview, Gaga seems to be about as #realasitgets.

But what do I know…?

I’m Gone.

If you didn’t know, Billboard has named Beyoncé as their 2009 Woman of the Year. Believe it or not, she was given the award for her philanthropic performance more than her chart performance [read the story here]and spoke with Gaile King after giving her acceptance speech at her ceremony. Peep the video.

In other Bey news, rumor has it that she is currently shooting her video for “Video Phone” off her I Am…Sasha Fierce album. The bigger rumor is that the video will be a remix featuring none other than Lady Gaga. I wonder how that will work out, seems interesting.

Here’s the promo video for the upcoming “Fame Kills” tour featuring Kanye West and Lady Gaga.

A very interesting MTV Video Music Awards this year in large part to the controversial shenanigans of rapper Kanye West. If you don’t know what happened, get from under a rock and google it.

What’s in his hand is what started it all.

Beyoncé proofed to be a class act for letting Taylor Swift have her moment.

Ladies, be careful what you choose to wear…

[The show]

Jay-Z ft. Alicia Keys “Empire State of Mind” performance.

And now for the most talked about moment:

Smh.SMH!

Kanye embarrassing a lot of folks.

But Beyoncé made sure to let Taylor Swift have her first VMA moment.

The awards was filled with odd winners, interesting performances (did anyone see Lady Gaga or Pink?) and appreciated filler music from rapper Wale. Another amazing moment of the show was the Michael Jackson tribute at the beginning of the show featuring a touching speech from Madonna, and amazing dance performance, and a sentimental performance of “Scream” from none other than Janet Jackson where she was able to once again dance with her big brother. The best part of the awards was probably watching/responding on Twitter, which allowed the awards to be extremely interactive and highly entertaining. The awards will probably go down as one of the most interesting shows put out this year with one of the best Michael tributes. Interesting to see what MTV will cook up next year.

The most recent issue of French Vogue features the recent Body Suit trend that has been popularized by stars such as Lady Gaga, Beyonce, and Katy Perry. Throughout the 11 page spread models are without bottoms of any type.  If guy’s shorts are getting shorter, why don’t us ladies just get rid of the bottoms all together? Beat that CJ

Yes, it’s true. Kanye West and Lady Gaga are gearing up to go on tour with one another this fall. The two will not be co-headling on the tour, which means that they will be performing on stage at the same time. How crazy is this going to be? I can’t even comprehend the amount of crazy effects, fashion, and amazing-ness that is about to take place along with the dope music on this tour. Can you?
