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.

Hmm…classic CL..I remember post like this and I would just hate it because there were the stans and the haters.I’m convinced some of you need a life.I even stop visiting this site because I think there are a bunch of children commenting because it makes no sense.I’m glad I’m not a hater or a stan.I was like you all back and forth with it, but it’s redundant and childish.I hope you people find something productive to do instead of worrying about Beyonce’ who spending benjis in a recession LOL.That’s y’ll “queen” though.

IMO Beyonce’ is turning into a hood rat.Diva?Now every hood rat screaming they a diva uh uh uh Diva.Make it stop.JayZ is really rubbing that hood crap on her.Beyonce’ like your man said “You hustling backwards”

I never really get why people like that diva song. Must be the beat because the lyrics are wack. I don’t know why Beyonce tries so hard to impress Jay sweetie you are not hood and there’s nothing wrong with that. Just because you have a lot of money does not make you hood nor does marrying Jay Z! The Halo was ok though I heard Micheal Ealy was dating Ci Ci if they are that will be real cute! And for the record just because this post is close to 1,000 comments does not make you a legend or Icon!

i only like halo,i don’t know about diva. it looks recycled, and unoriginal. when i listen to the lyrics closely, i am not fond of it. i think she needs to take a different style and route.

she better claim her spot before rhianna takes it.

My friend told me to watch these videos and see how I liked them. I don’t like neither (Halo has kinda grown on me). If Brandy,Letoya,Kelly R,Ashanti,Monica, Tamia,or any other artists put out this BS,most of the people on here would have been saying that there career have come to a halt! Beyonce could sing about anything (KFC) and her cult would follow her! The song Diva video and lyrics are terrible. Beyonce isn’t saying anything possible (this is a stick-up). I think people aren’t hating on her. She is the busiest woman in entertainment world, but we just except more from an Icon or legend! I would love for her to change her style into her own and not what the media wants. She can blow but so kind Tamia, Brandy, Monica, and many others! I like her. I just want something different.

I think Beyonce is just showng her versatility… I like the whole Diva theme and what she sings is true, if you’re not making the dollars then you are wasting your time building up an image…

Who wants to be as good as their last hit or last single I should say..

I don’t know why so many people dislike Beyonce.

Is it jealousy??? Seems they would like any other artist regardless of their faults… Once it isn’t Beyonce. They feel good…

Something is wrong when a person is unable to appreciate the talent in another.

Envy & Jealousy are Ugly colours… Give credit where it is due!!!

My Show of Appreciation: I think Halo is a Beautiful song & that is just me appreciating an artist with a great & powerful voice…

I LOST ALL RESPECT FOR BEYONCE for the way she takes complete credit for the hard work of so many artists. Her name is on many of the songs when all she contributes are small additions, ohs and ahs.

EXAMPLES:
Irreplaceable - by Ne-Yo
1. Once In A Lifetime - 2008 movie Cadillac Records- by Scott McFarnon (Golden Globe nomination, she did not add enough - only three writers can be nominated).
2. Listen - 2006 movie Dreamgirls - (Golden Globe nomination, she only did vocals -only three writers can be nominated).
3. If I Were A Boy - BC Jean
4. Halo - was written for Leona Lewis
5. Smash Into You - Tricky Stewart and The-Dream (Smack Into You changed to “Smash Into You” that’s the part Beyonce wrote in order to receive that coveted writing credit).
6. Crazy in Love - by Eugene Record of the Chi-Lites (1969)
7. Independent WomanPt. 1” - authored by Samuel J. Barnes and Jean Claude Olivier, tweaked by producer Cory Rooney
8. Say My Name - written by Rodney Jerkins, his brother Freddie and Rodney’s writing partner LeShawn Daniels
9. Bills Bills Bills was written by singer/songwriter Kandi Burruss and producer Kevin Briggs.

Source: Vanity Fair Sept./Oct. 2005, various interviews and concerts where Beyonce make these
claims. This is sad.

What has made me totally dislike Beyonce is the way she talked smack about Janet Jackson and
Aretha Franklin. Then the way she handle the situation with Jennifer Hudson’s family lost. She
could even reach out for so many days to a person she not so long ago acted with to give her
condolances. This is sad. She is a fraud.

————————————————————————————————————————

1. She never took full credit for Irreplaceable. Ne-yo said that she contributed and did the vocal arrangements.

2. Listen - how is it her fault that only 3 persons can be considered? She contributed to this as well; however, she didn’t contribute as much as the other writers & that’s why she was left off. HATERS are the only 1’s who made an issue of this. The other writers sure didn’t

3. BC Jean & TOBY GAD first wrote this song. It is not a crime to pay for a song and then change the lyrics.

4. So because the song was written for Leona, Bey’s a fraud? Dumb. Truth is the producers of the song held it for Leona for a year. SHE didn’t record it, so of course they sold it once a superstar such as Bey showed interest. THIS HAPPENS PPL! Same thing as Umbrella. It was written for Mary J. & she didn’t like it so it was sold to Rhianna…DAMN!@

5. Again, once a song is bought, an artist has every write to change the lyrics, beat, etc. to their liking. She did more than change the title of the song. SHe also did the bridge and rearranged the lyrics.

6. Crazy in Love - It was just a sample. Everybody samples: Mary J., Mariah, Ashanti, Alicia Keys, Kanye, Puff, etc…

7. She did help write the lyrics for that song. Production has nothing to do with lyrics.

8 - 10. See 5 - 7. Kandi from Xscape did receive writing credits; however, she has never said that BEY took credit for the entire song.

If an artist changes the lyrics then they are allowed writing credits. She has never taken credit for production. Get over it. It’s ridiculous how far some people stoop to denounce her talent. It’s really not that seriuos and people should really leave the HATE in 08!

Didnt beyonce get called out for the same thing with a sean paul song,and again with british singer desirees song , putting it on her album without permission ,video for that song was rushed and made before she even asked desiree permission ,to make it seem like it were her own material, no one hates beyonce, they hate the deception and lies which is a big difference ,more fool you guys if you want to pay to make beyonce richer in this time of recession ,do youselves a favour and save your pennies you owe it to beyonce this is not good for her career ,1000 coments 90% negative things said about beyonce reflects how mainstream audience now feels beyonce needs to go away and reinvent herself and come back with better material,’s it a cut throat buisness which im sure beyonce knows everyone’s her competition.

Yeah, I”m hella late but I do celebrate the holidays.

So, I’ve been waiting for these videos to drop and I”m happy she did drop em but diva needs to drop right on in the trash. That was a classic HAM moment I’m sorry. That song is HOT and the video, had touches, no microtouches of hotness in it thats it. Everything was like “huh?” I’mma need her to do a remake, I’m sorry. REMAKE THAT IS, pack it up, recycle it, recreate it and redo it. Thank you B, but come again.

Halo, had too much light, I felt like I was in photoshop and over using lens flare, but OMD Micheal my baby daddy I gotta say I loved the simpleness of the video and his smexyness, but that lens flare, ummmm remix it, redo it, subtract, erase and minimalize it. Thats it. Outside of that I love the songs and yeah she jocked Ciara’s move, but um Ciara jacked a whole bunch of folks *coughs* Janet, so has RiRi , but what each artist brings to jocking a style is that they make it they’re own, umm tribute to other arists folks, thats all it is, everyone has ripped, shanked, stole, etc MJ’s moves, same thing is going on with the ladies. But yeah ummm REDO DIVA!!!!! oh and umm if ya gonna jazzerzize the leotards umm do it better B.

Much Respect all.

Reading all these comments makes me think - With all the shit thats going in our world and society today we take the time out to leave hate-filled essays which no one is grading. Whether you like it or not - she has a job - earning her shit - achieving her goals = and despite hate and slandering for the last 10 years is still here not really caring about you or your comments - So who are you writing for??

I hope you put as much effort in to the hating of the QUEENB as you do in to your lives.

P>S - Rhianna and Ciara both have posts on here - Hand in your essays there.

Okay

Monday, December 29, 2008 /

Well I must say that I am not really feeling either video, which is rare for me b/c I usually LOVE Beyonce’s videos. Halo was boring and the lighting hurt my eyes honestly lol. I felt she could have came harder with such a powerful song like Halo. Diva was disappointing b/c it seemed very phony. Looks like she had a lot of fun with the choreography with that one but I just didn’t like it overall, even tho I love the songs. I hope Bey can match BDAY when she does the video anthology for this one.

Okay I am the Beyonce STAN of all times but I’m not feeling neither video. Halo is boring as hell…just sitting there looking at each other (WTF)??? She could have did a whole lot more like put actual events & things that her and Jay do, since we all know Jay has a lot to do with the inspiration of the song. & DIVA video…VERY DISSAPPOINTING! I actually was highly anticipating that video and it was blaah! Looks like Single Ladies remix but in a Warhouse….thats not “DIVA-LICOUS Bey….Sorry! I still love my girl though!!!!!

STOP HATING ON BEYONCE’. SHE IS DOING WHAT SHE DOES BEST PERFORMING. SHE IS GIVING HER FANS WHAT THEY WANT. SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND FRESH. SHE IS ALWAYS DOING THINGS AND TAKING RISKS THAT NO ONE ELSE WILL.

FOR ALL OF YOU THAT HAVE NEGATIVE COMMENTS YOU JUST WANT TO B HER. JEALOUSLY WILL GET YOU A VIP PASS TO THE ANNUAL HATER AWARDS.

THE SONG DIVA IS A HIT!!! I WILL ADMIT (SINCE I AM BEYONCE’ #1 FAN) I AM NOT CRAZY ABOUT “IF I WERE A BOY”, “SMASH INTO YOU” OR “SATELLIETS.” I CAN ALSO ADMIT HER LATES VIDEOS HAVE NOT BEEN THE BEST. BUT LIKE I SAID BEFORE SHE IS TAKING RISK, NO OTHER ARTEST HAD THE BALLS TO DO WHAT SHE IS DOING.

BEYONE, KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND YOU WILL CONTINUE TO BE BLESSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SCREW THE HATERS!!!! THE HATERS ONLY MAKE US (AND YES I SAID US) STRONGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE HALO,

Beyonce is execellent and a GREAT singer.

Why do ppl hate on her, I heard her live and her voice is so crisp, so good, it gives u chills.

I never saw rihanna live, but based on what I see on tv. She is not that great, and Mariah fell off when she song in the neighborhood ball her voice is shitty.

Same things goes for Aretha frankiln when she sang at Obamas inaguration.

Next to Patti Labelle, Gladys Knight, Lauren Hill, Celine Dion, and Whitney Houston, Beyonce is the 6th greatest voice alive (Pink comes close after her.)

Mariah can’t sing now,
She lost her voice a while back

Alicia keys doesn’t sing, she shouts her voice doesn’t form notes.

Rihanna Ciara Ashanti voices are garbage.

And Christina Augeleria sounds horrible live, her voice is everywhere she can’t control shit. Idk y ppl hype her gorrilla voice so much (maybe cause she is white, and white ppl need role models)

Oh Mary J. Blidge never was a singer to begin with

Keisha Cole is Okay, she needs a little more help with her vocals though.

Jazmin Sullivan is Okay too, I have 2 hear more of her

Jennifer Hudson is actually up there with Beyonce PinK, Whitney, Celine Dion and Lauren Hill I just don’t know where 2 put her, because sometimes she sounds good and sometimes she doesn’t.

Aretha Franklin, (already mentioned that she sounds like shit now)

Tina Turner CANNOT SING.

Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, Maddona, all can’t sing.

Leona Lewis is hmm she is good so she is OK

Estelle…… not even close hun

Natasha Bedingfeild if she keeps up shell be up there.

And u all know that’s the TRUTH.

End of everything
(I hope I didn’t miss anyone, and I heard Beyonce live in person so all u haters can say wat u want)

Beyonce is swagger jacking ‘Diva video’ the whole Lady Gaga look…imo. The leotard, big shoulder pads, glasses, and glove thing. Check it out for yourself. This whole ‘look’ or concept she’s supposedly introduced has just been reinvented by her but was originated by Lady Gaga.

Ciara would have killed this video “Diva”.

Lastly, who the hell is waiting for her movie to come out??? Obsession. The trailer sucked and let’s get this straight…Beyonce Knowles can NOT act!!! That’s not her thing. Give it up. Leave it to real actresses. She’s not one of them! She sounds fake and manufactured. It’s not real acting skills and it shows that’s she’s trying too hard. She is a great entertainer…but actor she is NOT. Please let that die. She feels she has to master everything…but acting is not one of her gifts. It’s ok.
