"Video Phone" is a song by American R&B singer Beyoncé Knowles from her third studio album, I Am... Sasha Fierce (2008). The track was released as the eighth single from the album. A remixed version, featuring pop singer Lady Gaga was released later. Musically, the song consists of simple lyrics and hidden innuendos, with Gaga and Beyoncé trading verses with each other, in the remix. The lyrics refer to putting up a show on camera.

The song received generally mixed reviews from most of the critics, who noted that Gaga's featured appearance failed to add anything to the tune. The original version charted in the lower regions of the charts of Australia and its Urban chart, Spain, United Kingdom and on the US R&B charts. The remixed version charted at sixty-five on the Billboard Hot 100, and topped the Hot Dance Club Songs chart. It also charted in Australia and its Urban chart, the Czech Republic, New Zealand, while it bubbled under the main charts of Belgium.

A music video was created to accompany the song featuring Gaga. It portrayed her and Knowles in a number of costumes, brandishing colorful guns towards men and paying homage to the film Reservoir Dogs and pinup legend Bettie Page. It received mixed feedback from critics who called it un-interesting, and felt that it did not present anything new. However, they complimented the costumes and the cinematic homage of the video. The video went on to win the BET award for Video of the Year.

Background and composition

[editar]

"Video Phone" was written by Beyoncé Knowles, Shondrae Crawford, Sean Garrett and Lady Gaga in the remixed version. It was produced by Bangladesh, The Pen and Knowles.[1]​ Initially, "Video Phone" was sent to US radio on September 22, 2009.[2]​ The release was later recalled and in October 2009, Life & Style reported that Knowles and pop singer Lady Gaga were collaborating for a remixed version of the song.[3]​ The remixed version featured both Knowles and Lady Gaga trading verses with one another.[4]​ The remixed version of the song that features Lady Gaga was included on the 2009 deluxe edition of I Am... Sasha Fierce.[5]​

Musically the song consists of simple lyrics, with hidden innuendos, and is backed by thin-spread beats; Beyoncé and Gaga uttering gasps and groans while singing the song.[6]​ Chris Willman from Yahoo! said that the lyrics are a reference to "celebration of Skype sex and putting on a solo show, on camera, for a guy you just met at the club."[7]​ Gaga appeared in the remixed version of the song, singing the verse "You my phone star. And I'm happy when my lights flashin'".[1]​ According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Hal Leonard Corporation, the song is set in the time signature of common time, with a moderate groove tempo of 120 beats per minute and in the key of A minor.[8]​

Alexis Petridis from The Guardian compared the song to "Diva", stating that "Video Phone" is "Almost equally weird, but much better, [and it] introduces us to the unlikely figure of Beyoncé Knowles, amateur pornographer: 'You want me naked? If you like this position you can tape it.' She doesn't make for the world's most believable Reader's Wife,[9]​ but it doesn't matter, because the spare, eerie backdrop of groans and echoing electronics is so thrilling."[10]​ Colin Mcguire from PopMatters wrote that "'Video Phone' is sexy enough to the point where it almost becomes uncomfortable to think of her listening back to this with her father in the room."[11]​ Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine said that the song ended the album abruptly.[12]​ For the collaboration, Fraser McAlpine from BBC Radio 1 reviewed the song negatively, saying: "So anyway, this brings me to 'Video Phone' – and what exactly is the point of Gaga featuring in this song? I know Beyoncé fans won't like me saying this, but I can't help but think that in this instance it's a case of 'if you can't beat em, join em' [...] For someone as naturally brilliant as Beyoncé (and a better singer than Gaga and Rihanna put together), perhaps she should actually stop trying so hard and do what she does best - singing proper songs."[6]​ Chris Willman from Yahoo! compared the song to Gaga's "Telephone", where Knowles appears as a featured artist, and said that "Maybe it's because the lack of a video for Gaga's "Telephone" leaves more to the imagination, but if this were a contest, I'd have to say her tune trumps Beyoncé's. [...] [Her] greatest promises of unbridled exhibitionism can't quite make the genre feel fresh."[7]​

Chart performance

[editar]

After the album's release in 2008, the song charted on the US Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.[13]​ Upon release as a single in 2009, it debuted at number 70 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and eventually peaked at 37.[14]​ With "Video Phone", I Am... Sasha Fierce became the first album of the 21st century to have seven entries on this chart, following "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", "If I Were a Boy", "Diva", "Halo", "Ego" and "Sweet Dreams".[5]​ On the week ending December 12, 2009, the extended remix of "Video Phone" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 65, becoming the lowest peaking song from the album. The song sold 28,000 digital downloads, 93% of which were for the extended remix though radio stations preferred to spin the original album version.[15]​ "Video Phone" also became Knowles' fourteenth number-one Hot Dance Club Songs chart-topper. It is also her sixth consecutive chart-topped.[16]​ According to Nielsen Soundscan, the combined versions of "Video Phone" sold 287,000 copies.[17]​

In Australia, the original version of the song, debuted at 89 and peaked at 66 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[18]​ The remixed version debuted at 40 on November 30, 2009 and peaked at 31 the next week.[19]​[20]​ The original and the remixed version, respectively, both peaked at 29 on the ARIA Urban Chart.[18]​ In New Zealand, the remixed version debuted at 33 and peaked at 32 after two weeks.[21]​[22]​ In the United Kingdom, the original version of "Video Phone" debuted on the UK Singles Chart at 91, and peaked at 58.[23]​ The original and remixed version peaked on the UK R&B Chart at 21 and 36 respectively.[24]​[25]​ Across Europe, the remixed version of the song charted en España[26]​ and outside the official charts in Belgium (Flanders and Wallonia).[27]​ In the Czech Republic, the extended remix of "Video Phone" debuted at thirty-nine on issue date February 17, 2010.[28]​

Video musical

[editar]

Antecedentes y concepto

[editar]
La cantante estadounidece Lady Gaga fue la artista invitada en el video musical.

A music video para la remezcla extendida de "Video Phone" fue dirigida por Hype Williams. On October 15, 2009, a spokesperson for Williams confirmed to MTV, that reports of Gaga and Beyoncé working on the music video together were true.[29]​ It was shot at Brooklyn's Greenpoint neighborhood, under tight security. The artists were reported to be wearing fashionable dresses, with Knowles in "a feathered dress" and Gaga sporting "something wild".[29]​ In an interview with New York's Z100 radio station, Gaga further commented on her collaboration with Knowles, for the music video. She said,

"When I was doing her video with her, she called me and she said, 'What do you want to do?' [...] And I'm like, 'I don't want to show up in some frickin' hair bow and be fashion Gaga in your video.' I said, 'I want to do you.' [...] I want to do my version of Beyoncé. So the whole time I was learning the choreography they were calling me Gee-yoncé."[30]​

El video was initially set to premiere on November 5, 2009[5]​[31]​ but did not actually premiere until November 17, 2009.[32]​ It begins with Knowles walking down an alley, accompanied by several men in suits, an homage to Quentin Tarantino's 1992 film Reservoir Dogs.[33]​ As the main section of the song begins, cameras zoom in on Knowles as she dances in a black and white latex leotard while holding sunglasses with hand signals on them. When the first verse begins, Knowles seductively dances for two men who have cameras as heads. Another scene shows her teasing men with futuristic toy guns while wearing a skin-colored latex top. During Gaga's verse, she and Knowles appear wearing white leotards; they both sing to the camera while shooting more toy guns in open fire. Knowles next brandishes a bow and fires arrows at a cameraman who strapped to a rotating dart board. She and Gaga, now in front of a white backdrop, perform a synchronized dance together, with Gaga wearing a pair of yellow Louboutins heels.[34]​ Knowles then appears dressed as an homage to Bettie Page, while handling several different firearms.[33]​[35]​ Throughout the video, the two singers fire their guns and arrows at men. El video ends with Knowles shooting a gun while perched upon a stationary motorcycle and surrounded by images from the start of the video.[33]​

Recepción

[editar]

James Montogomery from MTV commented that "it's a little surprising that the just-released clip for Beyoncé's 'Video Phone' has nary a flame or fish-eye shot (there are, of course, plenty of outlandish costumes). However, don't make the mistake of thinking this video is by any means straightforward — it's plenty WTF! [...] It's definitely not the Gaga we're used to seeing, but her appearance isn't exactly run-of-the-mill, either. And neither is this video, for that matter. Especially not when you're watching Beyoncé snap her gum and shake her hips and grope an AK-47 while the screen pops from electric green to Kool-Aid red."[33]​ Jim Farber from New York's Daily News compared Knowles' look to that of pin-up model Bettie Page, and said "The clip for 'Video Phone' [...] doesn't offer much in the way of chemistry or even interaction between the two divas. [El] clip seems about as innovative as a rotary dial up."[35]​ Daniel Kreps from Rolling Stone commented that the video was an "almost seizure-inducing parade of cinematic homages and wardrobe changes." He also compared Knowles' look to Page, as well as Katy Perry and rapper M.I.A.[36]​ El Daily Mail gave a positive review of the video, calling it avant-garde and naughty.[34]​

El video musical ranked at ninety-nine on BET: Notarized Top 100 Videos of 2009 countdown.[37]​ En 2010, el video musical de "Video Phone" recibió una nominación en los 2010 MTV Video Music Awards Japan, en la categoría de "Best Collaboration Video".[38]​ El video recibió dos nominaciones at the 2010 BET Awards por "Video of the Year" y por "Best Collaboration", winning the former category on April 27, 2010.[39]​[40]​ El 3 de agosto de 2010, the video received five nominations at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, in the categories of Best Choreography, Best Collaboration, Best Pop Video, Best Female Video and Best Art Direction.[41]​
