MTV Bans Lady GaGa, Beyonce ‘Telephone’ Music Video

Sandra Rose March 15, 2010

There is something to be said for good taste. As soon as Lady GaGa and Beyonce released that horrible mess of a video “Telephone”, MTV banned it from the airwaves. Apparently, even MTV realized the music video made absolutely no sense and was just another vehicle for Lady GaGa to display her devil worshipping cult antics.

Even if the 10-minute video was pared down to 3 minutes, most video outlets would still refuse to show it. I applaud them. If you noticed, I didn’t post the video because our children have been exposed to enough garbage on the airwaves.

I watched half of the video.. Well, as much as I could stand to watch.. It made no sense at all too me.. H3ll, the song made no sense to me… I just dont really relate to Lady Gaga I guess
DivaPT

Well there is alot of lesbian activity going on in that video it definitely makes me wanna stay outta jail i think they should show it will scare someone straight

Beyonces handlers got that pimp hand on her. I wonder if Matthew is wigging out that his precious little girl is being seen as a ‘lesbian.’ Its not a secret beyonce si trying to get some of gagas shine too, which is cool cos all artists do that, collaboration wise.
LadyLew

I haven’t seen the video but she looks like she asking Bey to her in this pic

Whatever MTV…although i can imagine how HORRIBLE this video is, it’s prolly no worse than any of that other mess they air on their station…

I love this video. It really doesn’t matter if mtv banned the video because no one watches MTV anymore anyway. They should really change their name to RTV. (Reality television)
That network has been dead….
EricaDenese

After feeding the public garbage for years (all of their reality TV shows) MTV finally has a conscience…
Lovely One

So the overly sexual Lady Gaga video was too raunchy for MTV? Wow that says a lot!

BTW, the video was not cohesive at all. CRAPTASTIC!!!!

nika405

So them showing 16 and pregnant is ok, or True Life “I’m Gay” but not this video? MTV #hoesitdown.

MTV doesn’t even show videos

I wish I had comcast so I could get MTV Jams

They borrowed it from Kill Bill.

kimip84

i agree with nika! they show far worse stuff on MTV hell they had tila tequila trying to get down with men and women on her MTV love show so WTF??

I watched it. Gaga is kinda lesbo in the video but maybe that was the purpose…to get on a Madonna type level. mission accomplished!
mirsmommy

Not interested in seeing this video anyway.

But I don’t understand….why would Beyonce want to be apart of something that displays devil worshipping and cult antics??

The vid is very wack but when does MTV even play videos? All I see is lousy reality shows.

MTV shows music videos? Get out of here….. I thought they just showed reality shows over there.

HAHA…I thought I was the only one who didn’t like the telephone video. I don’t even like the song. I’m a lady gaga fan, But I couldn’t get with this one.

Girl, I can have so much fun with this statement.
MsConsciousOne

This video was satanic, soft p*rn, violent, etc. Whether MTV bans it or not, kids have accessed the video via youtube. I am not a fan of Beyonce or Lady Gaga and fear karma too much to slam them. So, I shall say that I am happy that folks can finally see Beyonce.
ms.truth

yep…this was clearly not a video made for the song. devil worship it is…they kept throwing up the 666 sign aka the “a-ok” sign, not to mention numerous other symbolic things. smh.

Isaw he video. It’s very Quinton Tarrantino-ish. Gaga really outshone(is that a word) Beyonce in that dance scene…

That video was horrible. I didn’t get it at all. I still haven’t figure out WHY Tyrese signed on for this particular project. I know he has been gone for a minute but DANG!

yep, it’s basically a continuation of that video…
Man, I just don’t care™

Why is there such a focus assoiciated with this mediocre video?

I wish Beyonce had at least kissed another girl or something! (not Ga Ga tho, DEFINITELY not Ga Ga)

It’s not even worth this much attention.
MsConsciousOne

@MsTruth….the signs were so blatant…Did you see the red 6 on the computer, then they showed “Plenty of Fish” and back to the red 6 and sealed with her “ok” before she was released? How about the honey thing where Bey said, “I knew you would take all of my honey.” I could on and on…
buttercup24

Mtv said Cnn was lying and they didn’t ban this video. While i feel this video is garbage as well as the song, it would’ve been hypocritical for them not to air it. Mtv has always been known for doing risky things other stations weren’t going to do. I doubt they would stop now.
ms.truth

yep…there was soooo much stuff. the stuff that stuck out the most to me was the 666/”a-ok” sign and the one eye reference…it went on from the beginning to the end…and the beginning of the video was just a continuation from her Paparazzi video. She’s in prison in this video for killing her boyfriend in the Paparazzi.
LuvMySailor

Ms. Truth and MsConsciousOne

Can you explain to me in brief detail all the Satanic sigs? What is “Plenty of Fish”?

I for one am tired to Beyonce always opening her legs in videos and dancing. She is too oversexed
Nhere

Ok, am I the only one who noticed the “Poison Concoction”. A full freakin recipe ingrediants and amounts. That ish had me outraged. All I could think about were the children and those who cannot control their anger. I don’t know if it was a deadly one but I wanted to have both of those bitches arrested after seeing that sh*t.
Daisy

The video sucked almost as bad as Beys acting skills & BLANK STARE O_o

16 and prg is my show and I think these kids need to see having a baby as a teen is not whats up and see how your life changes forever after that. Teen moms have and can be succesful but I do think way to many teen girls get prg so the show gets a from me.
M_promp2

MTV didn’t ban the video. Apparently CNN reported it incorrectly.
ms.truth

two signs that are apparent, are the “a-ok” signs that Lady GaGa, Beyonce and the dancers through…many people think it means a-ok, but it’s actual represents 666, the devil…also, if you notice, a lot of the time, they’ll put the “a-ok” sign over one eye, and throughout the entire video, there were many times when Lady Gaga had one eye covered up…that represents the “all seeing eye”, which represents the eye of Satan. It represents spiritual sight, inner vision, and higher knowledge, basically, people believe that they will have the knowledge of God. (adam and eve with the serpent) the all seeing eye can also be found on the dollar bill and in countless other music videos.
ms.truth

and the dancers throw up*
OutsidetheBox

Satanic symbol recognizers: How did you all learn which images were satanic? Besides “666” and Revelations, I mean.
I am not a member of a church now but I was always in church when my parents could control that but I dont ever remember studying this type of stuff.

…and on the 6s: my dad has always told me that it was a euphemism for Nero…it was too dangerous to directly name Emperor Nero as the Anti-Christ so they referred to him by numbers

Serious question though. Before I really read comments on blogs and the like, I had no idea that ppl really believed these things. I mean I did, but they were all “crazies”.
Cinderella

Some people have way too much time on their hands. While I didn’t care for the video, I thought it was Quentin Tarantino-inspired. Devil-worshipping never crossed my mind.

ms.truth

the stuff is in most music videos, movies, advertisements, etc. now so it’s easy to spot once you know. there is a site that’s dedicated to explaining from simple terms to in-depth…sandra has posted a video from there before, I think it was about jay-z. I also once thought, “these people are crazy, it’s not that deep” but once I learned the basics, everything made sense…not to mention, it correlates with everything the Bible says…
OutsidetheBox

@Cinderella. I ytoo thought the video was a long and boring take on QT work. They failed but I didn’t see devil worshipping. I just really need to understand where the hell this fear stems from…

I was also dedicated to finding out why girls would wrap socks around their buns. I’m weird like that. :lolol:
ms.truth

@ Cinderella…didn’t some of his movies have to deal with the devil and hell?
BROWNSUGAPOET

Who got that glazed donut look?????
OutsidetheBox

@Ms. Truth…what does the bible say?

Do you agree that ancient Christians used Hebrew? If you do that would easily explain away “666” and the “Beast”…

ms.truth

hmm…I’ve never known 666 and the Beast to be thrown away, but then again…I’m an infant in my walk (May 2009), so there’s plenty I don’t know …and I’m def not trying to get into a religious/music industry debate on SR, as I was just stating what I believe…BUT the Bible helps ME (can’t speak for anyone else) understand what is going on in the music industry/society, etc.

FIRST OFF THE VIDEO WAS LADY GAGA-

SO I’M NOT SUPRISED THAT THE VIDEO WAS COMPLETELY TO THE LEFT

BUT EVEN FOR ME IT WAS TOO MUCH, BEYONCE COULD HAVE DONE WITHOUT THIS EXPOSURE

BUT DESPITE BEING BANNED ON MTV- BEIGE FOLKS EATING THIS SHIAT UP

DYKING AND MASS MURDER IS WAY TOO MUCH FOR MY TASTE-COULDN’T EVEN WATCH THE FULL VIDEO

WHAT IN THE HELL?!?!?!

WATCHING IT SEEMED SINFUL! STEP AWAY BEY, STEP AWAY

I saw half of the video also and pressed pause that ish was dumb! Beyonce is such a clone she act robotic
MsConsciousOne

@Ms Truth, honestly, you don’t have to defend the truth. We chatted about what we thought, that’s the beauty of free will. If a song about getting her cell phone blown up while she’s at the club represents fighting, murder, soft p*orn, etc. in the name art, it is what its. However, this is a blog aka opinion board. I’m just sayin’.

Well stans so much for the overhyped mess that is GaGa & Beyowulf..Lawd even in cartoon form her wig is a mess
intensemocha

MTV Rep: We have been airing Lady GaGa’s new video “Telephone” since Friday morning. Why CNN is reporting that we banned the vide, we are not sure. As to my knowledge, no one [from CNN] even checked with us to see if that was true but we are trying to get to the bottom of it as we speak.

CNN is such an established news outlet, you would think that they would verify information like this before they air it:

Lady Gaga and Beyonce make history on Billboard
With one song, two divas make history on Billboard’s Pop Songs chart.

With a 2-1 rise for “Telephone,” Lady Gaga and the track’s featured artist Beyoncé have tied the record for most No. 1s since the Nielsen BDS-based radio airplay chart launched in 1992. The pair joins Mariah Carey, who tallied six toppers between 1993 and 2005. Lady Gaga and Beyonce pass Avril Lavigne, Pink, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, each with five No. 1s.

Beyonce first led Pop Songs with “Crazy in Love” in 2003, while Lady Gaga first appeared on the chart just 16 months ago. The latter performer, in fact, has yet to fall short of the survey’s summit, reaching No. 1 on her first six tries:

Title, Chart Date Reached No. 1

“Just Dance,” Jan. 24, 2009 (featuring Colby O’Donis)
“Poker Face,” April 25, 2009
“LoveGame,” July 25, 2009
“Paparazzi,” Nov. 14, 2009
“Bad Romance,” Jan. 16, 2010
“Telephone,” March 27, 2010 (featuring Beyonce)

And, here is a look at Beyonce’s six Pop Songs No. 1s:

Title, Chart Date Reached No. 1
“Crazy in Love,” Aug. 16, 2003 (featuring Jay-Z)
“Baby Boy,” Nov. 8, 2003 (featuring Sean Paul)
“Check On It,” Feb. 11, 2006 (featuring Slim Thug)
“Irreplaceable,” Dec. 30, 2006
“Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” Feb. 7, 2009
“Telephone,” March 27, 2010, (Lady Gaga featuring Beyonce)

I watched the video on mtv this morning. I thought it was horrible.
MsConsciousOne

Actually, CNN aired a live show stating it was banned from MTV Jams. For all we know, MTV could have planted the whole “banning thing” story. Maybe they’re bringing videos back and this is a brilliant marketing scheme to drive traffic to their network. Our eyes appear open, but they are shut. Hmm, like painted open.
OutsidetheBox

@MsConscious…cause I really think you wanted to speak to me…Ms. Truth was simply helping me understand. I am not attacking her or anything of the sort; she gave her opinion and I asked how it was formed.

As purveyors of truth, I thought it was a good Christian’s job to help others understand. That’s my bad though. I listened too much in Sunday school.

@Ms. Truth, thanks for your honest and open dialogue. I should’ve said that in my other post.
ms.truth

@MsConsciousOne…
MsConsciousOne

Actually, I wasn’t @ Outside. I didn’t want her to feel that she had to defend herself against anyone, since she stated she was a baby. We don’t have to convice folks, all we have to do is put the message out and move on. We have free will to do with it as we please. As you know, it’s hard being on this side and we are never to debate or defend. Honestly, that’s all I was trying to convey.
ms.truth

I work in media…and networks such as MTV def. do things like planting false stories to boost traffic, BUT I do believe that CNN had a lead that they believed to be true, but didn’t do enough research to confirm it.
OutsidetheBox

“…we are never to debate or defend….”

I didn’t know that. I thought the whole mission was “spreading the word.” Maybe that’s Jehovah and his ilk though LOL I’m making light but really no e-feelings. I was just trying to understand. Usually when someone posts about Satanic images/illumanati and the like, it’s a bunch of ranting and there is no way to get intelligent convo out of them; you guys seemed kinda open

Have a good day!
kdillon

The video is garbage and the minde of their Monsters are already tainted anyway, thats why “the monsters” think this video is amazing. If something isnt feeding the soul then why are people listening? Gaga and Beyonce is not singing about how to be a better woman, being happy, loving yourself, respecting yourself, etc… but women praise them for leading them astray.
kdillon

“are not”
ms.truth

@OutsidetheBox if you’d like to email me…I’d be more than happy to explain how I feel and why…I just can’t get with having that type of debate on SR’s blog…I did it once before and refuse to do it again.

Oooh, I get what you’re saying. Whew, so much gets losts in electronic translation. Spreading the word and debating/defending are two different things. Check out Tupac’s series on youtube when you have some time, it’s very insightful.

Amen @ KDillion
Reese

I thought the video was crap. Maybe they should have gotten Quentin Tarontino to write and direct it instead of trying to mimic his style *shurgs* the story was choppy and like another commenter said it just wasn’t cohesive.
MsConsciousOne

@KDillion, they call it entertainment, but they don’t realize that you have what you say. So, they repeat the lyrics, imitate the dances, feed the monster, etc., the honey is intoxicating. This is not some Christian talk, this is real life talk. The Black community is in horrific shape. Our young girls aspire to be video girls because it’s intoxicating, 99% percent of the songs are about money, sex and cars. Thank goodnes for the indie artists, they truly stand for something. The new trend is to tell them they don’t need a man to be the baddest bish. All you have to do to divide anyone from anything is to distract them with honey (riches of the “world”). Matthew 16:26
