Music videos have been a thing since at least the 50s, though technically there were videos including sound that date to the 1920s and before. So there's no real way to pinpoint who invented them.

i looked into it and pink Floyd and theRolling Stones are considering music video pioneers. Bowie had videos from the 70s, and of course the buggies "video killed the radio star" was the first music video ever played on MTV, so I would argue that it wasn't MJ

Kinda off topic but apparently Tony Bennett is said to have made the first "Music Video" (that we know of today) back in the 1950s.

I was not talking about music videos 

[Ryusei 61,110]

Not Beyoncé 

[androiduser 7,438]

let me summarize what the fans want to hear:

Gaga started this, and if anyone else did it before her, it didn't really matter because it was Gaga who started this trend, not someone before her.

 

 

[Red 97,983]

It's safe to say every music video trend started with Michael

[Whispering 18,865]

Probably MJ, but I'm not sure. Interesting question.

Plenty of artists back in the 80's had a little bit of acting before their video started, really cheesy stuff. It was probably Michael Jackson who started it, he was one of the first to truly make music videos like an entire set piece, a mini movie complete with acting. Madonna did a bit of that as well. Only the big names are being brought up here, but you get the picture. Gaga certainly made it a thing for the modern age. When I saw Kesha's video, the black-and-white monologue in the sea just made me think of Gaga, Beyonce was an afterthought. Beyonce fans like to think Beyonce started this idea and while she really took the idea of monologuing to the extreme by doing it on every video and making it popular again, it was probably Gaga's long monologuing videos that inspired her. Who knows if there would even be this whole movie/album idea of hers without videos like BTW and MTN? She worked with Gaga twice back in 2010. I'm sure some of her ideas must have rubbed off on her. Particularly the whole "release a music video for every song" idea! She's managed to get in there first with several of the things that Gaga did first or wanted to do and its getting irritating.

I lost the majority of my respect and interest on Beyoncé after this

That's why Gaga should learn to shut her mouth, I'm glad she did that with Joanne cause I'm sure Katy Perry would have copied her with the whole pop rock folk & country inspired music.
