VIDEOS: BEYONCE - “HALO” & “DIVA”
Tuesday, December 23, 2008
Beyonce premieres her new videos for the second two singles from her third studio album, I Am… Sasha Fierece, in stores everywhere now.
In “Halo,” Beyonce plays with colors and interesting lighting concepts. The video features actor Michael Ealy as Beyonce’s love interest.
BEYONCE - DIVA
For the Melina-directed “Diva,” Beyonce sticks with the black and white, as well as the simplistic two back-up dancers.

Not really feeling the Diva video it’s a lil’ lack luster…I will say she is the master of illusions though. That butt pad does wonders for her, I’ma need to get me one of those.

So what was JayZ too ugly to be her Halo? Beyaki is so shallow and boring. Her voice does NO justice to the song. It is definitely a Leona Lewis song. Beyaki is not suited for songs like IIWAB and Halo. It’s not who she really is.
…..Now Diva, that ghetto mess represents Beyaki to the fullest. She is so over and done with and killing her own weak career. That video is an absolute misguided ghetto-fied mess. She is not a diva, didn’t sell a million in a week, but thank god she had enough sense to wait until after a MONTH selling a million to release this whackness.
Beyaki is an embarrassment to black female artists around the world. She bragging about killing the games, and bodies in the trunk…She is not bold enough to name the bodies. The career she wants to kill is going strong and is light years ahead of Beyaki’s ghetto antics and exactly why she is not on track to being an Icon. She is reaching and reaching and reaching. It’s actually sad to see her perform such ghetto songs as SL and Diva because clearly the Sasha Fierce side is for black people and that goes to show what she thinks of blacks with her creole claiming, wanna be latino self. Pathetic is whack-a-licious. Everything about her is overbaked, completely foolery gone even more wrong.
She better clean up her act if she expects to get invited to high profile events.
She better keep releasing singles trying to flood the charts so she and her retarded stans can say look, oooooo, see she got a lot of songs on the chart too.
She needs to rename Halo, shallow and Diva as ghetto. How fitting.
The Diva video is swagger jacked, too. but I’ll leave that to another truth teller to out her.

Halo. The video is simple, a little TOO simple. But she has TWO major things working in her favor:
1) Michael Ealy is just DAMN FINE!
2) I absolutely ADORE this song. I sing it to my daughter in the womb everyday. It’s just all around/ all out beautiful.
Diva. The song had to grow on me. Now the video has to. It’s part Shut Up & Drive/part DeJa Vu/part Promise.
Not that it’s a bad thing.
I was a smidge turned off by her posing with the “Grammy” awards.
LOVE how she seems to find a way to wear a leotard in every video now. HAD to throw it in Halo huh, Bey?!
I seriously hopes she releases videos for Broken Hearted Girl, Hello, and/or Ego.

I was like are those Grammy’s come on now that was lame.
I would have thought Diva would have been in a club scene too.
Halo.. not sure I just can’t take B serious anymore.

Don't Argue With Me It's Just An Opinion
Tuesday, December 23, 2008 /
These videos look like repeats of her old stuff. Diva and whatever the other one is look like single ladies and like a boy just with added scenes. TO ME, her music has pretty much gone to hell. This stuff just seems so staged. The Diva video is barely believable. Like come on, Beyonce. At least make it look like it could really be true.
On the positive side, she looks great!

bored
Tuesday, December 23, 2008 /
These are the same comments that were said about IIWAB and SL and look what happen.
SL - People said it was stupid and boring, the black and white had to go and so on.
IIWAB - Boring, stupid, what is the concept and so on..
Both of them are plat, her CD has already sold over a mil in the US alone and is climbing and it just came out just over a month ago.
SO CONTINUE TO SPIT OUT THIS BULL WHILE SHE CONTINUES TO SALE.
I just love this girl, the more you talk the more she sales. Beyonce has talent and looks.
Halo is a beautiful love song and so is the video
Diva is edgy and so is the video..
!!!!!!! Go Beyonce !!!!!

all i can say if big ups to be for putting fine ass michael ealy in the video, it fit perfectly. Neither one of the videos are what i expected ( i expected more) but i still love her!! Hopefully her next singles are something like “video phone” and “smash into you” or something like that

Diva call…..HEY…..HEY…I thought the video was fun. It is what it is. The video fits the song. If the song is hood what the hell did you expect? Beyonce is doing her job and the haters are doing a good job as well…but don’t yall trake the holidays off?

I dont know who Michael Ealy is but he’s fine. Halo and Satellites are two of the best off the album.
Diva is an OK song but that video was neat. A lot different than I expected. Thought it would be a color video—sticking to a Sasha Fierce theme I suppose!

The diva video could have been done so differently. Elaborate clothes and all, instead she wants to be Lady Gaga’s sister. Tina what are you doing? Also, her background dancers suck ass, bring back the other chicks, please. Other than that.. I was feeling the shades, her steez and all. Halo on the other hand kind of scared me because she looked creepily happy and there was no climax. Beyonce is beysus tho so everything she does is crack. you learn to love it.

My favorite is still Single Ladies. I like that Beyonce takes creative risks because she has built herself up enough to be able to deviate from the norm. I don’t think this track does her voice justice. The key is too low for her in some areas and her voice is struggling to reach those lower tone notes. Hey, I love the Halo effect of the video and he being a true artist is about deviation.

SHUT UP!

PLEASE STOP WITH THE FOOLISHNESS
STOP COMPARING BEYONCE AND RI RI
ONE CAN SING THE OTHER CANT
BEYONCE IS A GREAT PERFORMER CAN SING HER ASS OF WHILE ROLING HOPPIN AND FLIPPIN ON THE STAGE
AND ALL RI RI ASS DOES IS STAND THERE STIFF AS HELL AND THE GIRL STILL CANT SING..BUT SHE CAN DRESS HER TAIL OFF
WHATS THE POINT OF HATIN ON ‘B’ SHE GOT MORE MONEY THAN YOU
SHE LOOK BETTER THAN YOU

@#13
You need a life. You spent a lot of time putting in that whole book of a comment. I don’t see the need in anyone hating anyone else that much. If you don’t like her then don’t comment on her.
Anyway I liked both, she isn’t for everyone and no artist is. They make music for themselves and those who like them. So no need to post a nasty comment about them. Just wait for there to be a post on someone that you do like. I know this is a free country and you can say what you want blah, blah, blah, blah. But check yourself before you try to check anyone else.
Marry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!!!!

Seriously delete the word HATE from your vocabularies.
It’s called an OPINION.
Learn it. Study it. Embrace it.
It’s disturbing how some people react when their favorite person doesn’t receive ALL the praises. You people are like bad stage moms times 10.

Those ARE NOT Grammys, (in the Diva video), they are OSCARS. How could she let us forget about her quest for an Oscar. In the Halo song, all I could picture is JayZ instead of the actor “playing him”‘ LOL!
She needs eat Popeyes and have babies and teach them to say, “I’ll show you crazy”!

Halo was a nice video, it reminded me of Irreplaceable. Diva, loved it even though on other sites they say it looked “low budget” I loved the swag and cockiness! Like in Ego, “she has EVERY reason to feel like she’s that bi%$%” Good job Bee!!

#52 JoJo, YOU NEED TO GET A LIFE. If you took the time to read my post then form an opinion and respond, take your own advice.
The ish was wack, wack, wack. Beyonce has officially fallen off.
Like I said
JayZ was too ugly to be her Halo
Diva is a ghetto-fied mess! Just ghetto, ghetto, ghetto.
She is tanking hard, thank god for christmas sales because it took her a month to go platinum and she is STILL WORKING overtime to prove she’s the hottest.
Bey better step her game up and clean up her swagger jacking image. Halo=Ghost knock off. Nothing original there. Diva is just recycle trash, trash, trash.
Bey is only fierce at trying to be something she’s not, the hottest chick in the game, If she were she wouldn’t be sweating bullets dropping singles all over the place to stay relevant.
Look at the media. Nobody talking about Bey anymore. Nobody sending her embossed invitations. ctfu………she is not getting high profile invitations anymore because the industry secretly knows Bey is a fraud.
AS FOR THE GRAMMY AWARDS IN THE VIDEO. SHE NEEDS TO ELIMINATE THE DESTINY CHILD’S GROUP WINNINGS AND STOP LYING ABOUT HER STATS.
FOR THE RECORD, YOU ONLY NEED TO WIN ONE GRAMMY TO SAY YOU ARE A GRAMMY WINNER. DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Once again, JayZ is one ugly dude and not worthy to be her Halo. That’s fuched up. She only married to promote her flop album not the ugly man.
61.
NO HATE FOR 2008!!!!
Tuesday, December 23, 2008 /
I’m not gonna hate…
I don’t like the videos but I won’t hate…
I fell asleep during halo but I won’t hate…
I closed out after 10 secs of diva but I won’t hate….
aye,CL we need a Rihanna update! I miss her now…
and I voiced my opinion without hating:
Get it? Got it? Good.

I Love Halo…that is the most beautiful song i have heard since her dangerously in Love. or maybe listen…..hell i love Bey!!!! anyway…..i dont like diva…too cocky, ive always thought of bey as a real chick who made it big and that song is like uh uh…..that halo video could have been better tho..
63.
WOW
Tuesday, December 23, 2008 /
boooo!
I expected more from Halo!
I’m not surprised with DIVA - I hated the song, now I hate the video…I really wish she would grow with her music. The album was dissapointing. Hopefully her next single with be either Ego or Scared of Lonely. Everything else just doesnt cut it IMO, shes so much better than this album.

Okay, I get it now. Both Beyonce and her alter-ego, Sasha-Fierce are going to continuously release new singles/videos simultaneously and will most likely compete for Grammy’s each. I wonder if Sasha is creeping with Jay behind Bee’s back……
As for the videos, I just have to say….
Halo: @ the 1:00 mark, did Beyonce’s voice go flat or something? Not a good note.
@ the 3:30 until…I was irritated waiting for them to kiss already.
Diva: Didn’t quite satisfy all the anticipation I had waiting for this one to be release, but Sasha looks great. NOW, WAS IT ME…OR AT THE 2:46 MARK, did she steal that dance move right out of a Ciara video??????
I’m sooooooo on the phone about this one!

#13 is a nutcase/hater clearly she is on every Bey post even before the fans comment with her negativity it makes me sick. You need some help and it’s people like you who give women a bad name not a hard working woman like Beyonce who is just following her dreams, Then folks bringing up Rihanna when she don’t have anything to do with this post. I don’t dislike her at all but you got to be kidding if you think she can hold a candle to Bey in anything music wise. Yall are such haters don’t even come with that opinion mess. Anyway the first video was kind of boring but with a song like that it’s not to much you can do. I loved the second video minus the gray and white she nailed the dances and put some life in the vid. Give people props some time or stay off they post with negativity damn.
