JRCF29 8,152 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Well by the time they recorded the song a) they had already done the Videophone duet, b) Gaga has several Top 10 singles, and c) the media was obsessed with Gaga at that time, and so some of the attention rubbed off on Beyoncé by association. The last two parts were probably just an added bonus because Beyoncé likes videophone and wanted to collab with another pop-but-different-pop artist and make a cute bop Spoiler But really I’m sure that the commercial prospects factored heavily into Beyoncé’s decision Don't Call Me Gaga Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gagaplayer315 12,025 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 The same reason she keeps collabing with artists nowadays: to stay relevant Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracious Gaga 17,163 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I doubt either Gaga or beyonce were the ones who made it possible. Their record labels put them together. Gaga didn’t just text Beyoncé n be like “hey come over let’s write a song” I guess what I’m saying is, I wonder how much of a day Beyoncé, or Gaga, really had in this collab ♥ Kindness Police.

efrs 432 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Has Gaga ever commented on the fact that they haven't performed it? Also am I misremembering a tidbit that she actually doesn't really like telephone? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJudasGaga4 67,907 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Tbh, I think Beyonce would've performed Telephone with Gaga if she wasn't pregnant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepyhead 577 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 1 hour ago, Faysalaaa said: At that time, Gaga was still a new artist and many people were unsure about her. Gaga was seen as the weird girl who sings Poker Face. Beyonce is very picky and strategic and dont easily collab with other artists specially not someone like Gaga. She even trusted Gaga and took a huge risk with the Telephone video, Gaga made Beyonce do things she never did in her career. Beyonce said she did not understand the video and was confused during filming, but trusted Gaga vision anyway. i think its because there's some sine from above Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie 2,784 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Gaga was THE artist at the time, regardless if she was new. Everyone wanted to collaborate with her Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artists like Beyonce have alot of say on what they want to do. Same with Gaga today.. 13 minutes ago, efrs said: Has Gaga ever commented on the fact that they haven't performed it?

But she performed it alot and still does so its weird that Beyonce still hasnt performed with Gaga! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightrush891 727 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Because she wasn’t doing well, and our Queen was on the top of the world. Much like how Madonna walked around wearing “I’m a Britney fan shirts” and collaborated with her. It’s all about stay relevant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracious Gaga 17,163 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I do wonder why they never performed it together. like at an award show or something. could've been a cool VMA performance. idk I don't remember what time of year the single was released- I think it was actually January-ish so maybe could've been performed at the grammies. I think it was a missed opportunities for an epic and iconic performance between two legends! the song is awful though, regardless ♥ Kindness Police.

Beyonce was at that show so they could have performed. They both performed at the Super Bowl, yet none of them invited the other. Beyonce attended the Monster Ball yet she did not join Gaga when performed Telephone! Coachella sets is another show they could have performed it togather.

I was surprised she gave a nod to that J Balvin song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
