Lady GaGa explains meaning of Telephone
In case you were wondering what GaGa was thinking when she came up with the controversial nine-minute video Telephone, there really is no rhyme or reason to the vid…or so it seems. Is it just me or does it seem like just a bunch of wiggidity wackness that GaGa probably created in her mind while she and Perez Hilton snacked on deep fat fried pretzels and Tang? Honestly, I really don’t know. Read more about the meaning of Telephone…or what she tells Ryan Seacrest…after the jump.
Gaga dishes to Ryan Seacrest on her Telephone video, her Coke can hair rollers and her rumored competitiveness with Beyonce. Check out her randomness below.
On developing an artistic vision for “Telephone”:
“I really believe in the power of visuals and sometimes visions come to me and I know I have to do them. It doesn’t really matter if it makes sense or if it doesn’t make sense. By the end of the video, it became so much more as we explored each scene it became about transsexual women and it became about making fun of American hallmarks like soda cans and cigarettes and mayonnaise and bread.”
On the bizarre sandwich-making scene:
“It kind of comes out of nowhere but now that I watch it, in retrospect the way that it works into the video and the commentary on being overfed communication, advertisements and food in this country, it kind of makes sense by the end.”
On her Coke can hair rollers:
“My mom used to do that when I was a kid, ’cause if we didnt have any rollers in the house she’d slice up some Coke cans and then she’d heat them up and pin them in her hair.”
On what to expect in her next video:
“I dont really know! Actually Perez [Hilton] really wanted it to be a trilogy, and after he saw it he was like, “it has to have three parts” and I wasn’t really sure at the time and then he pushed me over the edge.”
On being competitive with Beyonce:
“We’re not competitive at all, we’re so different, we respect each other so much and she’s so kind and we really get along. She was so courageous in this video. She trusted me because she likes my work she knew that I love her and it’s a mutual respect. It ended up being a masterpiece because she was so courageous, but I’m sure you can imagine it’s a bit daunting sometimes.”
On Academy Award-winning film “The Hurt Locker”:
“I’ve watched it a couple times. It’s terrifying! When I first started watching it I was getting into it, and then I watched it again – I think it’s even more terrifying because it’s a war that we know.”
