Of course.

Umm why not? It would have killed the hostility between Monsters-Brit fans. Most monsters are ex Britney fans whether they wanna deny it or not. Gaga is a Britney stan and this would make peace between the fan bases.

I guess... I just remember a lot of fighting back then between the two fanbases. Nowhere near as bad anymore, of course...

Still, I don't think it would have been immediate enough for the song to be more successful on the charts. I could be wrong.

The acting? the **** are you talking about? it's a music video. Not a film aiming for the Oscars. The "acting" in 'Telephone' was very campy and wasn't suppose to be taken seriously by any means. Britney is actually great with comdey and she would have easily nailed her "acting" role.

Did people forget that Britney shot to #1 with Womanizer it's first week of digital release and that '3' debuted at #1?

Also, at people acting like Britney could have been in the video. Of course she could have. The choreography wasn't that bad. It was on par with her choreography in the video for "Circus".

It would've done better in the US, especially if it came out before the album was released. Worldwide, about the same probably. Maybe a little less in the UK and such where Britney's no longer a major music force.

The dancing in the music video was easy as hell.

Britney could've pulled it off.

Yes, Beyonce's a local act.

How does that even make sense? I'm pretty sure the exposition behind the OP's theory is about the US.

!!! Lol at them thinking she cant act. She filmed a whole movie crying and trying to win people over and make it look real.

[kisyxo]

is that even a question? britney + gaga = explosion.

I know right

They act like it was film dialogue when all of the dialogue was just filled with clever one-liners.

Like the video had such an intensive acting and elaborate choreo.

[Praise Mariallah]

That **** would've sounded weird.

Where are the receipts for that?!

The song reached it's peak position after the video premiered. It was insanely hyped and talked-about. It's also regarded as one the most memorable videos of both artists

[csybeyking]

S&m had already peaked at number two before the last minute remix, at best all Britney would've added is frontloaded sales with no longevity

[PRiRiShady]

Nope.

[BoyOnBoy Wonder]

No.

The video contributed to the song's success and I can't really imagine Britney being able to pull that off.

She's not a big force there because she didn't properly promote her music with the last era. The opening sales of Circus and the chart performance for "Womanizer" was good because it received a proper release assisted with worthwhile promotion (The X Factor).

[Kang.]

Nope.

Why would it have longevity? The original was already peaking on radio and the remix received no video.

I don't think the Britney today could pull off either.
