So the Beyoncé/Lady GaGa collaboration has commenced, starting with the leak of the extended version of “Video Phone,” the single. The song is the eighth single from I Am… Sasha Fierce and the video, directed by Hype Williams, will premiere on November 23, 2009.

No great deal of difference here. The song now has an added intro consisting of flutes and music that would be played during a western showdown. The song then progresses into the original with GaGa’s verse appearing half-way through the song. Her voice suits the song and gives the song a bit more appeal. The song ends with an instrumental break which makes it obvious that the song was edited for a video that will consist of a whole lot of choreography.

The next phase of Beyoncé/Lady GaGa oversaturation will be for GaGa’s “Telephone” which will serve as the second single from The Fame Monster. That means another music video with the duo. It’s too coincidental that both of their songs have to do with phones or is it all a plan. Lord knows that this unlikely pairing is to boost sales and everything else money related.

UPDATE: Just a short while ago “Telephone”, produced by Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, leaked. The song was originally for Britney Spears before GaGa got a hold of it for The Fame Monster.

An electropop song this is. It’s exactly what we thought this would sound like but at the same time it’s sort of different than we imagined. GaGa is the standout in the track just as she added the appeal in “Video Phone.” Beyoncé’s vocal style in this song isn’t exactly what we’d call complementary. The song is not amazing but it will surely have the GaGa stans going crazy and will grant both more fans.
