WATCH IT: Beyonce f/ Lady Gaga "Video Phone"
Anyone who got a raging vertical stick from Lady Gaga's lurid and ambitious "Bad Romance" video was probably left a bit flaccid from her restrained appearance in Beyonce's video for "Video Phone." But, this is clearly a Beyonce video first and foremost, and there was no chance that the Queen B would let herself be upstaged on her own turf. An intro that promises a Reservoir Dogs faceoff between the two music stars fades into a bootylicious Beyonce performance montage, mixed with a slight narrative in which she and Lady Gaga go all commando on some videoheaded men. In some ways the whole piece feels like a typical club remix video — which are generally reassembled and re-edited and otherwise manipulated versions of the original — but this is billed as the "extended remix," so perhaps its a fitting touch. --> watch "Video Phone"

the video is just too bad... I love beyonce.. but this is wrongly done... the green screen behind really looks like "editing mistakes" the guns.. like plastic toys.. and an exagerated used of "mirror effects" I can see the indulgent director blinking when watching the images flesing quickly.. and thinking "this is cool" when it's clearly too much.
