Man, the guy behind Hoshina Anniversary really likes his Gaga. He’s already remixed “Pokerface” and “Just Dance,” and now he takes his scalpel to the Beyonce-toting single “Telephone.” I had never listened to the song before (to save Gaga face, “Bad Romance” has become my karaoke song of choice. That intro is epic), but a few notable difference pop up between the two. Hoshina ditches the goofy faux-sentimental intro, opting instead to dive headfirst into the club. He also smothers Gaga’s verses with fuzzy beats, turning her voice and Beyonce’s (who, for the record, reminds me a lot of Fergie on the original) into far off murmurs. It’s kinda just a louder version of “Telephone” but also highly danceable. Now, get cracking on the “LoveGame” rework.
