Lady Gaga Chronology

Hmm? Why do you guys keep deleting the Lady GaGa chronology & stuff from this article :S —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.240.3.85 (talk) 01:50, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

The answer is simple. It's not Lady Gaga's single, it's Beyoncé's. She only appears on the remix, and the remix isn't actually the single. Lady Gaga's chronology should stay, just like with the "Ego" page, but her name under the artist should be removed. Oh, and next time, please start a new section on the talk page instead of just writing it. D4c3nt3n0 (talk) 20:57, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Kay, sorry :P It's not the actual single, BUT, the Video Phone song AND video that's being played in the media is the one featuring Lady Gaga, so shouldn't you put the "Lady Gaga singles chronology" under where it says "Beyonce single chronology"? For example, take a look at "Starstrukk" - 3OH!3 ft. Katy Perry. It was originally JUST by 3OH!3, which was the official track on the CD, but then they released a Katy Perry remix. This is the version that's being played all over the world. The remix was released on iTunes as well. They put the Katy Perry chronology on that page as well. This is exactly the same scenario as Video Phone.(If that's what you agreed with, then sorry)

First off, I already said that Lady GaGa's discography should be at the bottom of the page. Her chronology shouldn't appear on this page since it isn't her song. As with "Ego," Kanye West's discography is there. Secondly, the remix was released on iTunes, yes, but that doesn't make it a single. That is like saying every song released on iTunes is a single. The remix was released as part of an EP, not a single. D4c3nt3n0 (talk) 01:15, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Err, no, I wasn't talking about the discography @ the bottom of the page, I was talking about the chronology which appears under the Song Cover, song name, blah blah blah. It isn't her song, but she's featured, and the version that's been played AS a single is Video Phone ft. Lady Gaga. Correct? :P —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.240.3.85 (talk) 16:51, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Actually is a current single, but still deleting Gaga's chronology. And if the problem it's not Lady Gaga's single, someone create a infobox for the remix. Tbhotch (talk) 18:46, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Lady GaGa's discography and her previous single lead to this page. Without the 'single chronology' page for Lady GaGa, the link from Bad Romance will lead here, then stop.

The single that was released featured Lady GaGa, while the original song (which was NOT a single) did NOT feature Lady GaGa. Since this song is about the single, which is the remix, it should include the featured artist. Pikachusoup (talk) 23:48, 7 December 2009 (UTC)PikachuSoup

Read the comments above. Single chronology means where the primary artist is the artist in question. The primary artist of this song is beyonce therefore only her chronology goes in the infobox. Gaga's is at the bottom of the page. (Lil-unique1 (talk) 23:50, 7 December 2009 (UTC))

Hmm? Video Phone - Beyonce is just a song. In order for a song to be a single, it has to be released into the public. Video Phone - Beyonce FT. Lady Gaga is the one that's been released to the public, therefore, the Video Phone ft. Lady Gaga is the single. It's not a song chronology, it's a SINGLE chronology, right? Not sure if that's how its done, but it makes sense. =P —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.240.3.85 (talk) 05:02, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Just a note... This week's edition of the Billboard Hot 100 (http://www.billboard.com/#/charts/hot-100?begin=91&order=position note that's not a permanent link), the single is listed only as by Beyonce. It doesn't say "featuring Lady Gaga".  AcroX  18:12, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Please join the discussion at WT:SONGS#Chronologies in infoboxes for songs with a featured artist and the subsection "Proposals regarding 'featured artist' Chronologies, Categories, Navboxes, Infobox "Artist" field on 'releasing artist' pages"
AND WT:SONGS#Featured artist showing song as single in their chronology when they didn't release it as a single.
For completeness of discussion please make any comments there. Thank You.—Iknow23 (talk) 00:23, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

What Video Phone is she referring to?

I don't know of any cell phone that lets you talk face-to-face with video. Does Beyonce use one? Does she mean recording a video with the phone camera and then sending it to someone? Or talking over computer webcam? Or is she just singing about future technology?

Nevermind, reading the lyrics it looks like she just means a picture of her "when she calls" and recordings of her to look at later. Damn, I was hoping she was advertizing some awesome new phone. Habanero-tan (talk) 07:02, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Artwork

Is the artwork currently displayed official? If so, it's awful. =/ Theog101 (talk) 19:10, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

-Actually, that's the Lady GaGa single 'Telephone' which features Beyonce. Different single, but can undertand the confusion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.209.191.209 (talk) 17:04, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Not an official cover anyway. They use the fan made covers from Coverlandia. http://coverlandia.blogspot.com/search?q=Video+Phone--It's Flo (talk) 11:12, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Copyright issues

Due to some copyright issues, the "Video Phone" music video was forbidden in Germany. Do you think we should at that to the article? Source: http://www.rp-online.de/kultur/musik/Musikvideo-von-Lady-Gaga-bleibt-verboten_aid_818832.html --It's Flo (talk) 15:02, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Has iTunes started selling CD singles?

I haven't heard that iTunes is selling CD (physical) singles, but there were references to iTunes in the article for CD singles?—Iknow23 (talk) 07:10, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Don't think so. I have never seen Physical entity being sold in iTunes. I believe only retail outlet is Amazon. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 07:30, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Last Single

I don't think that this is the last single from the album because Beyonce has recently released "Why Don't You Love Me" to Rhymthmic Radio for Airplay in June 2010. http://www.allaccess.com/top40-rhythmic/cool-new-music This does not make "Video Phone" the last single.
