'''Telephone''' ist ein Dance-Pop-Lied der US-amerikanischen Sängerin [[Lady Gaga]]. Der Song ist die zweite Singleauskopplung aus ihrem zweiten Studioalbum ''[[The Fame Monster]]''. Den Song nahm Lady Gaga mit der amerikanischen R&B-Sängerin [[Beyoncé Knowles]] auf.


== Hintergrund ==
"'''Telephone'''" is a song by American recording artist [[Lady Gaga]] from her second studio album ''[[The Fame Monster]]'', featuring American [[contemporary R&B|R&B]] singer [[Beyoncé Knowles]]. The song was written by Gaga and [[Rodney Jerkins]]. The main inspiration of the song was Gaga's fear of not being able to enjoy herself because of her dedication to her career. The lyrics portray the singer as preferring the dance floor, rather than answering her lover's phone calls. Gaga explained that the telephone addressed in the lyrics of the song, is in reality a person telling her to continue working harder. Musically, the song consists of an expanded [[bridge (music)|bridge]], [[verse (popular music)|verse-rap]] and an [[epilogue]] where the line is disconnected. Knowles appears in the middle of the song, singing the verses in a rapid-fire way, accompanied by double beats.
Lady Gaga schrieb ''Telephone'' mit [[Rodney Jerkins]] ursprünglich für [[Britney Spears]]. Als deren Label das Lied ablehnte, nahm sie das Lied selbst mit Beyoncé Knowles für ''The Fame Monster'' auf.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://music-mix.ew.com/2009/11/16/new-lady-gaga-song-telephone/|title=New Lady Gaga, ‘Telephone’: Stream It Here|last=Greenblatt|first=Leah|date=2009-11-16|work=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|accessdate=2009-12-01|language=en}}</ref> Gaga sagte: „I wrote it for her a long time ago and she just didn’t use it for her album.

So sagte Lady Gaga in einem Interview, dass sie es schwer fände, auszugehen und eine „gute Zeit“ zu haben, weil sie ihre Arbeit so sehr liebe:

== Komposition ==
"Telephone" was appreciated by contemporary critics who frequently noted it as a stand-out track from ''The Fame Monster''. The song charted in a number of countries due to digital sales, namely in the United States, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden and Hungary, following the album's release. The song has been particularly successful in Europe, reaching the top of the charts in Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Norway and the United Kingdom. She performed an acoustic rendition of "Telephone" mixed with "Dance In The Dark" at the [[2010 BRIT Awards]] in memory of [[Alexander McQueen]]. It was also added to the setlist of the European leg of [[The Monster Ball Tour]].
''Telephone'' wurde von Lady Gaga, Rodney Jerkins, LaShawn Daniels, Lazonate Franklin und Beyoncé Knowles geschrieben.<ref name="liner">Lady Gaga ''The Fame Monster'' (Liner Notes) [[Interscope Records]] (2009)</ref> Obwohl der Song als Duett angelegt ist, erscheint Knowles erst in einem kurzen musikalischen Zwischenspiel in der mittleren Strophe.<ref name="omh">{{cite web|url=http://blog.musicomh.com/musicomh/2009/11/lady-gaga-the-fame-monster-trackbytrack.html|title=Lady Gaga: The Fame Monster, track-by-track|last=Hubbard|first=Michael|date=2009-11-23|publisher=[[MusicOMH]]|accessdate=2009-11-24|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131226102632/http://blog.musicomh.com/musicomh/2009/11/lady-gaga-the-fame-monster-trackbytrack.html|archivedate=2013-12-26|language=en}}</ref> Das Lied beginnt mit Lady Gaga, die mit einer düsteren, feierlichen Stimme über eine [[Harfe]]nmelodie singt.<ref name="CBBC">{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/newsid_8540000/newsid_8547700/8547789.stm|title=Single review: Lady Gaga – Telephone (feat.

Gagas Gesang reicht vom tiefen dreigestrichenen F<sub>3</sub> zur höchsten Note von C<sub>5</sub>. Die Grundtonart ist F-moll, das Stück hat die Akkordfolge Fm–As–B–Fm.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtdFPE.asp?ppn=MN0080609|title=Digital Sheet Music – Lady Gaga – Telephone |work=Musicnotes.com |accessdate= 2010-02-08|language=en}}</ref>


Gaga zufolge handelt es sich beim Telefon in dem Lied nicht um ein physisches Telefon, sondern um das in ihrem Kopf. Sie erklärte: {{" |lang=en |Text=That’s my fear – that the phone’s ringing and my head’s ringing, […] Whether it’s a telephone or it’s just the thoughts in your head, that’s another fear.}} „Das ist meine Furcht – dass das Telefon klingelt und mein Kopf klingelt auch, […] Ob es ein Telefon oder nur die Gedanken in deinem Kopf sind, das ist eine weitere Angst.“<ref name="inspire" />
Gaga explained that the music video is a continuation of the video for "[[Paparazzi (Lady Gaga song)|Paparazzi]]", and is also shot as a short film. The video features Gaga in a prison, from where she gets bailed out by Beyoncé. They go to a diner where, after a series of events, they kill the guests having breakfast. It ends with Gaga and Beyoncé escaping from the police. Paying homage to [[Quentin Tarantino]] and his films ''[[Kill Bill]]'' (2003–2004) and ''[[Pulp Fiction (film)|Pulp Fiction]]'' (1994) and [[Callie Khouri]]'s ''[[Thelma & Louise]]'', the video was positively received by critics.

She is taken to a women's prison, where she is led to her cell by two prison guards. She is stripped of her shoulder-padded dress and left standing nude, being mocked by the other prison inmates. One of the guards comments, "I told you she didn't have a [[penis|dick]]", referring to the rumors that Gaga is [[intersex]].<ref name="mtvrev"/><ref name="nymag"/> For three minutes, the video shows Gaga's activities in the prison&mdash;including kissing another female prisoner in the exercise yard, wearing sunglasses made out of half-smoked [[cigarettes]], and catfights in the commissary. It is also noteworthy that, during the scene in the exercise yard, extracts of Gaga's songs "Paper Gangsta" and "I Like It Rough" from her debut album, ''[[The Fame]]'' are played in the background. Gaga's sister, Natali Germanotta, makes a cameo in the commissary scene.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://uk.eonline.com/uberblog/b171698_lady_gagas_sis_makes_cameo_in_telephone.html|title=Lady Gaga's Sis Makes Cameo in Telephone|last=Candy|first=Jennifer|date=2010-03-12|publisher=E!

She performs the first verse and chorus with other scantily-clad inmates, followed by a bridge featuring Gaga wearing only yellow "Caution" tape.<ref name="mtvrev"/>

Gaga is bailed out and exits to find Beyoncé waiting for her in the "Pussy Wagon". Beyoncé is nicknamed Honey Bee, a reference to the character Honey Bunny in Tarantino's 1994 crime film ''[[Pulp Fiction (film)|Pulp Fiction]]''.<ref>{{cite journal|url=|title=Lady Gaga and Beyoncé Unleash Orgy of Sex, Violence, Product Placement in “Telephone” Video|date=2010-03-11|work=[[Rolling Stone]]|publisher=[[Jann Wenner]]|accessdate=2010-03-14|last=Ganz|first=Caryn|issn=0035-791X}}</ref> After an exchange of dialogues, they travel through a desert and pull over at a diner.<ref name="nymag"/> Beyoncé sits opposite to Gibson, but tires of his stupidity and poisons him, but it doesn't kill him like she had hoped.<ref name="nymag"/> The video then shifts to an intermediate sequence called "Let's Make a Sandwich".<ref name="mtvrev"/> Gaga stands in a kitchen, wearing a folded-up telephone on her head, while dancers cavort behind her, wielding salad tongs and assorted cutlery.

Gaga and Beyoncé do another dance sequence, wearing American flag inspired garments and shredded denims, while strutting around the dead bodies.<ref name="nymag"/> They then leave in the "Pussy Wagon" and travel on a highway as news reporter (played by [[Jai Rodriguez]]) reports the murders. The last shots show Gaga and Beyoncé travelling through a desert with police sirens wailing in the background. The video ends with the line "To Be Continued..."<ref name="mtvrev"/>

Gaga performed "Telephone" at the [[2010 BRIT Awards|BRIT Awards]] on February 16, 2010, at [[Earls Court Exhibition Centre]].

On May 2, a supposed [[Britney Spears]]' demo of "Telephone" leaked onto the web.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a217919/britneys-telephone-leaks-onto-web.html |title= Britney's 'Telephone' leaks onto web? |publisher=Digital Spy|last=Levine|first=Nick|date=2010-05-03 |accessdate=2010-05-07}}</ref> After suggestions that the demo may be a fake, the producer of the song, Rodney Jerkins, confirmed via twitter the authenticity of the song. Also, via Ustream, the producer said that the leaked version "was an early demo stage of the version [and that] it wasn't even a mixed version", moreover, denied leaking the song, arguing that, despite the fact that he has been asked to leak the full song, he did not do it.<ref name= SpearsDemo>{{cite news|url=

Album The Fame Monster

Telephone ist ein Dance-Pop-Lied der US-amerikanischen Sängerin Lady Gaga. Der Song ist die zweite Singleauskopplung aus ihrem zweiten Studioalbum The Fame Monster. Den Song nahm Lady Gaga mit der amerikanischen R&B-Sängerin Beyoncé Knowles auf.

Hintergrund

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Lady Gaga schrieb Telephone mit Rodney Jerkins ursprünglich für Britney Spears. Als deren Label das Lied ablehnte, nahm sie das Lied selbst mit Beyoncé Knowles für The Fame Monster auf.[1] Gaga sagte: „I wrote it for her a long time ago and she just didn’t use it for her album. It’s fine because I love the song and I get to perform it now.“ „Ich schrieb es für sie vor langer Zeit und sie verwendete es nicht für ihr Album. Das ist gut, denn ich liebe den Song und ich werde ihn nun singen.“[2] Auch der Gastgesang sollte ursprünglich von Spears übernommen werden, aber aus unbekannten Gründen wurde er schließlich von Knowles eingesungen.[3][4] Die Idee hinter dem Song war die Furcht, im übertragenen Sinne keine Luft mehr zu bekommen, das Leben nicht genießen zu können. So sagte Lady Gaga in einem Interview, dass sie es schwer fände, auszugehen und eine „gute Zeit“ zu haben, weil sie ihre Arbeit so sehr liebe:

“Fear of suffocation – something that I have or fear is never being able to enjoy myself, […] ’Cause I love my work so much, I find it really hard to go out and have a good time. […] I don’t go to nightclubs, […] You don’t see pictures of me falling out of a club drunk. I don’t go – and that’s because I usually go and then, you know, a whiskey and a half into it, I got to get back to work.”[5]

Komposition

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Telephone wurde von Lady Gaga, Rodney Jerkins, LaShawn Daniels, Lazonate Franklin und Beyoncé Knowles geschrieben.[6] Obwohl der Song als Duett angelegt ist, erscheint Knowles erst in einem kurzen musikalischen Zwischenspiel in der mittleren Strophe.[7] Das Lied beginnt mit Lady Gaga, die mit einer düsteren, feierlichen Stimme über eine Harfenmelodie singt.[8] Die Sängerin ist in einem Club und deren Freund ruft an, sie sagt: „Stop calling, stop calling, I don’t want to talk anymore.“ Telephone besteht aus einer ausgedehnten Bridge, der Strophe und einem Epilog, wo eine Stimme verkündet, dass die Nummer zurzeit nicht zu erreichen sei.[7] Der Webseite Musicnotes.com von Sony/ATV Music Publishing zufolge, ist der Song in einer gewöhnlichen 4/4-Zählzeit mit einem Tempo von 122 Beats per minute. Gagas Gesang reicht vom tiefen dreigestrichenen F3 zur höchsten Note von C5. Die Grundtonart ist F-moll, das Stück hat die Akkordfolge Fm–As–B–Fm.[9]

Gaga zufolge handelt es sich beim Telefon in dem Lied nicht um ein physisches Telefon, sondern um das in ihrem Kopf. Sie erklärte: “That’s my fear – that the phone’s ringing and my head’s ringing, […] Whether it’s a telephone or it’s just the thoughts in your head, that’s another fear.” „Das ist meine Furcht – dass das Telefon klingelt und mein Kopf klingelt auch, […] Ob es ein Telefon oder nur die Gedanken in deinem Kopf sind, das ist eine weitere Angst.“[5]

Rezensionen

Telephone bekam überwiegend gute Kritiken. Michael Hubbard von MusicOMH sagte, dass der Song „möglicherweise das Beste auf dem Album ist“. Er lobte die „brillante Bridge“ und das Ende des Liedes.[10] Popjustice gab dem Song gute Kritik: „Es ist ein bisschen wie Gwen’s What You Waiting For? trifft Timbalands The Way I Are und dies trifft etwa fünfzig andere Sachen … Die Struktur ist ziemlich spannend … da ist etwas Brillantes in Beyoncés Beitrag, das alles sehr fein erscheinen lässt.“[11]

Amy Phillips von Pitchfork Media platzierte Telephone auf Platz 55 in ihrer Liste „Top Tracks of 2010“, und sagte, dass „es einer der weniger seltsamen Titel auf The Fame Monster“ sei.[12] Mikael Woods von Los Angeles Times sagte, dass Telephone „eine sorgfältig durchdachte Betrachtung ist, wie nervig es ist, wenn ein Kerl dich ständig anruft während du in einem Club bist“.[13]

Sarah Hajibagheri von The Times und Armond White von New York Press waren vom Song nicht beeindruckt. Hajibagheri sagte: „Der Auftritt von Beyoncés Gesang zusammen mit Klingeltönen eines Telefons unterstreicht das Gefühl des völligen Chaos.“[14] Telephone wurde von Rob Sheffield von Rolling Stone auf Platz drei seiner Liste „Top 25 Singles von 2010“ platziert.[15] Die Single wurde für einen Grammy in der Kategorie „Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals“ nominiert.[16]

Chartplatzierungen

[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

In den US-amerikanischen Billboard Hot 100 erreichte der Song Platz 3 und wurde somit Gagas sechster aufeinanderfolgender Song, der es in die Top 10 schaffte.[17] Im Vereinigten Königreich und in Irland erreichte der Song Platz 1 der Charts.[18] Auch in Norwegen, Belgien und Dänemark erreichte Telephone die Spitze der Charts. Die Top 3 erreichte der Song in Ländern wie Italien, Spanien, Frankreich, Deutschland, Österreich, Schweden und Neuseeland.[19]
