Nah, that song wouldnt of charted with or without gaga. She sounded more like M.I.A than anything.



Also, wasn't telephone the last song beyonce broke top 10 with?

Yeah, the remix version was the one that got the single treatment, pretty much like E.T.

It would have been a smash on urban radio.

Dont get the hate for Gaga on that song? She was sexy in that video + the chair dances.


U like wat u see, u wanna video me

We're talking about "Video Phone" flopping hard on urban radio, which maybe prevented it from charting high on the Hot 100.

"Telephone" wasn't catered to urban, and I said Gaga works better as a lead artist.

It wouldnt have. And the fact that it didn't was proof enough.

I think it would have been a success on urban radio if Gaga wasn't on it. Even a Gaga sample on "Make Her Say" failed to go far on urban radio after Cudi's top 5 urban hit, "Day N Nite." She doesn't work well as a feature.

Gaga just doesn't go well with urban songs. I always felt like her part on Video Phone was out of place. She worked well on The Lady Is A Tramp though.

I don't know...because it could have easily been an E.T type situation...where Rhythmic/urban played the remix and pop played maily the solo

Wikipedia says the album version was sent to urban, but most people say that the remix is the one that got the airplay, but it could have just been certain radio stations. It's a bad song either way, though. I just find it odd that the song didn't do well on even urban stations after Beyonce's success there up until that point. Even "Halo," a pop/rhythmic song, did well.

But I don't mind hearing both of them in this song. I think they are really good/funny rappers, Jadakiss made better success than Styles P espcially after the song Jenny From The Block. But they could have done better with some of their music.

Sweet escape - Gwen ft akon

Edit: I *believe* it featured akon. I remember the video had his name attached somewhere.

It was a hit, but it was stuck at #2 for weeks, US and WW. It wouldn't have gone #1 without Britney.

She took it to the top. It became Britney's 5th US #1 and her 10th WW #1, so how is that irrelevant?

Pretty much every rapper feature. I know they're made so the song appeals to urban radio but most of the time they're so unnecessary.

On The Floor

Would've been an even bigger hit without Pitbull's irrelevant verse.
