Or they are signed by both, as happened with Telephone. The launch of Telephone in 2010 marked a before and after for music: the union of two of the greatest musical divas of all time. <\/p>\n<p>Although, according to the producer Rodney &#8216;Darkchild&#8217; Jerkins In an interview with People, not everything was as easy as we imagined. Lady Gaga had the idea of \u200b\u200binviting her professional colleague to be part of the song, but if anyone can think of a proposal of such caliber, it is Beyonc\u00e9 herself because, apparently, she rejected the song when she heard it for the first time. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI called Beyonc\u00e9 and said: &#8216;I&#8217;m finishing a song with Gaga and I wanted to see if you&#8217;d like to collaborate,&#8217;\u201d He began to count, proceeding to put it on. \u201cI was in Japan when I sent it to him and we only had one day to finish it because we were getting ready to mix and master it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Upon listening to it, Beyonc\u00e9 responded that it did not fit her style (more linked to R&amp;B): \u201cI can&#8217;t because it&#8217;s not my style. It&#8217;s techno-pop style and it&#8217;s not my thing,\u201d He responded, to which Jerkins confesses, he asked him for 30 minutes to do something that convinced him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI went back to the studio with our songwriters. I redid the song to give it an R&amp;B and hip-hop feel in the second verse, just changed it to mid-tempo and added little details. Then I gave it back to him.\u201c, he remembers during the interview, turning it into a song that Beyonc\u00e9 immediately accepted and recorded that same day.<\/p>\n<p>15 years have passed, but it seems that Lady Gaga is still thinking about the song because just a few months ago she confessed that she wanted a continuation of the song, but she still doesn&#8217;t know when, perhaps she is waiting for the moment when Beyonc\u00e9 is ready. <\/p>\n<p>A song created for Britney Spears<\/p>\n<p>Telephone hides even more secret that very few people know, because at first was written for Britney Spearsbut she also rejected it and let her creator, Lady Gaga, stay with her. And the fact is that there is no silver lining because perhaps we would not have this very famous collaboration if it had been included in the discography of the toxic.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, despite having to wait so long, Telephone has finally taken the place that belonged to it with 500,000 million views on YouTube alone. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If there is a song known and sung all over the world -with forgiveness from La Macarena-, it&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":114130,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[81349,1163,156,9208,9207,157,111,139,69],"class_list":{"0":"post-114129","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-39telephone39","9":"tag-beyonce","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-gaga","12":"tag-lady","13":"tag-music","14":"tag-new-zealand","15":"tag-newzealand","16":"tag-nz"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114129"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114129\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/114130"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
