Pop idol Lady Gaga didn’t mind Britney Spears rejecting her song “Telephone,” because it meant the “Bad Romance” hitmaker could use the song in her own repertoire.
The 23-year-old New York native started her career writing songs for other artists, such as Fergie, the Pussycat Dolls, Britney Spears, and New Kids on the Block, before she struck gold with her 2008 debut release “The Fame.”
Wenn.com reports Lady Gaga originally wrote her track “Telephone” for Spears, but when the “Oops…I Did it Again” hitmaker rejected the song, she decided to record it herself and recruited Beyonce to help give it the superstar treatment.
"I wrote it for her a long time ago,” Lady Gaga tells E! Online, “and she just didn't use it for her album - it's fine because I love the song and I get to perform it now."
Lady Gaga is currently in Canada kicking off her “Monster Ball Tour.”
She played Toronto last night and will play Ottawa’s, Scotiabank Place tonight (29/11/09)
Did you know? Lady Gaga’s debut release “The Fame” produced 5 singles included "Just Dance," "Poker Face", "Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)", "Love Game", and "Paparazzi.”

who cares britney sucks
I Love Britney but thats kind of rude
britney who?? ++GAGA IS A TRUE ARTIST.GAGA CAN SING.
I'm so happy about that. I got The Fame Monster the day it came out and I LOVE Telephone. GaGa + Beyonce + Darkchild = soundgasm.
ok, Britney is 324563427853620196502 times better and less creepy and gaga, and i don't find that rude at all, when ur doing UR album u think about what's the best u can put in it and u think very seriously , like choosing ur wedding dress and if u think that a song doesn't match the album then F THE SONG
ur choosing what's best for u !!! and btw the song sucks sh!t... so no regrets ...
Britney is the queen of pop if she didnt want your dam telephone song then to damn bad.. although it wouldve been better then mmm papi lol
Britney is washed up and so 90's. All of her songs sound the same. I don't think she will be around much longer anyway.
