I purchased "Telephone" as a single. I tried to be careful and find a version WITHOUT Beyonce, since I had heard a version on the radio that was just straight Lady Gaga and liked it better. Even though I bought what I thought was the version without Beyonce, her voice was still in the middle!
Other than that, Telephone is a great song for Lady Gaga lovers. To me it bears resemblance to "Paparazzi", my other favorite Lady Gaga song. I think you will like it, but if you don't like Beyonce BEWARE!!!

Telephone (Lady GaGa) / B002X063QK

I've always loved Beyonce's beautiful voice and musical talents, so a duet with Lady GaGa is like a match made in heaven - this song will stick with you for days, and I'm just blown away at the talent of the vocalists on display here. This is a perfect dance song - I'm only sorry that it hasn't been picked up for Rock Band download.

Like all Amazon MP3 downloads, this MP3 is DRM-free and plays beautifully, without fuss on my MP3 player.

"Telephone" is the Lady GaGa-helmed follow-up to its awful predecessor "Video Phone." Once again, Lady GaGa is paired with Destiny's Child, Beyonce Knowles. With Lady GaGa's super songwriting skills, this song actually WORKS IT. It's fierce. It's got a beat. The chorus is catchy. Whereas "Video Phone" is bland commercial pablum, "Telephone" is good ol' bubblegum guilty pleasure fun. It's in the spirit of Madonna, disco, and epic fabulousness.

While the music video has commercial tie-ins for Virgin (oh,the irony) and pulp movies by Quentin Tarantino Grindhouse Presents, Planet Terror - Extended and Unrated (Two-Disc Special Edition) and Jackie Brown (Two-Disc Collector's Edition), it's good cheesy ludicrous fun. With its interracial lesbian romance between GaGa and Beyonce (imagine if the controversial interracial kiss on Star Trek: The Original Series (Remastered) - Three Season Pack had been between Lt. Uhura and Nurse Chapel) and its evocation of Sapphic women in prison motifs a la Bad Girls - The Complete First Season and Affinity,it's guilty,campy,woman-loving pleasure. The forbidden passion between GaGa and Beyonce is believable. Turn this telephone on!

Instant hit for me. Was only aware of it after Paul Date did an iTunes mash-up with Telephone as the lead piece. The melody tag was perfect and the lyrics are actually pretty non-sexual for Lady Gaga. The video of this is just Lady Gaga doing what she does best and is a little disturbing compared to the relatively tame lyrics.

This is not just my favorite Gaga song. It's the one song that I can play over and over and still love every second of it. Telephone was originally written by Lady Gaga for Britney Spears, but was rejected. When The Fame Monster was being put together, Gaga included this song stating that it was a happy club song, and was happy that she could perform it.

The song is not sexual, which is great in general, but especially if your kids want to listen. Beyonce's part in the middle of the song really gives it a nice feel. The song would have been perfectly fine without her, but she adds a great touch, which is very refreshing and different from the rest of the song without getting off track.

The lyrics don't have very much meaning, but it's just a party song, so it isn't too important. The song is just about loosening up and having a good time once in a while.

Amazing song, perfect melody, and great vocals. 10/10

Lady Gaga has shown to be the Belle Of the ball when it came down to the Grammy Awards in fashion earlier this year, but when it does show well in fashion, it hasn't yet in music. Her latest single, Telephone from the expanded version of The Fame Monster, isn't really a strong song, while it honestly though is a bit better than her past songs that were released like Bad Romance had shown. While I'm honestly not a huge fan of Lady Gaga, I do hope she comes out with better songs for her next record to deliver, and that is a answer from the telephone her fans really desire.
