I heard a few times Britney turned it down

Lol, I did as well. Brit was stupid enough to turn it down, luckily though.

It was meant to be on Circus but wasn't used then Britney wanted it again for the Singles Collection but Gaga wanted it for Monster. I'm glad it went to Gaga but I'd love to hear Britney's version.

Why didn't just they recorded this as a duet!?

by **VanityEgo** » Thu Apr 29, 2010 3:16 pm

I always thought that Britney was only supposed to be the featured singer on it.

So I guess there is no urban Darkchild remix after all? :lol:

IMO it would'nt have done HALF as well if it was a Britney solo single. It would've had a really mundane video too, probably her rubbing herself against a giant telephone or something.

LOL at that comparison.
GaGa fans can't dish it out but then not take some back!

I agree with Tom. The song probably would've scraped the top 10 had it been Britney's.

Like that giant telephone in Get Your Number from Mariah.

Look top right.

That IS probably something what her video would've been like

Although IMO, Mariah is ALOT hotter than Britney, despite being alot older.

Bet its sold quite a bit, because its been selling a fair few copies right as soon as the album came out.

It's around 350k as far as I know

Telephone is #14 in the Australian ARIA Chart this week and Double Platinum!!

Wow, that is one of the best mash-ups I've heard in a looooooong time... Thanks for posting!

Britney's version is better IMO

by **Noahh** » Sun May 09, 2010 10:25 pm

I really like the version with GaGa, Britney and Beyonce... Can't stop playing that version of the song

Here is the version with all three of them singing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48bwJArcBFc

Dutch Top 40: #8 -> #7

Stays in the top 10 :-P

Floated away to #9, then #8 and now #7 again.

Alejandro is on #10, so 2 songs in the top 10!
