Lady Gaga gets down, post-mass poisoning, in the Telephone video.
Lady Gaga featuring Beyoncé, Telephone (Polydor)
Lady Gaga is gradually wending her way to the position Madonna held for 20 years, punching through pop into the wider cultural consciousness, a superpopstar for whom the sky's the limit. Gaga arrived from the same cultural milieu as Madonna, the performance arty New York club scene. However, whereas Madonna very much played up the disco end of things, Gaga, at least visually, screams art attack.
