I’m part of the white box crew. I heard that when you put out a double CD each sale counts twice ’cause it’s 2 CD’s. It seems logical, but can anyone confirm? And if it is true wouldn’t that mean that Bey’s first week sales were actually worse than reported? Just asking. Merry Christmas!!!!

Loving her swag in the video, but I’m not feeling the song. Maybe it will grow on me. I don’t think a diva is a female version of a hustler. They are two totally differant things. A hustler is gonna get that money mayne. A hustler can be a male or female. I’m a hustler, but I ain’t no diva.

Webster’s defines a diva as “a usually glamorous and successful female performer or personality ; especially : a popular female singer .” I’d go so far as to say a diva is a fab chica to whom others better bow down or at least that is what the diva thinks and carries themselves as such. Anyway, the fact that the song didn’t make sense may have made it that much harder for me to like. But again, the video is fierce and I’m loving the dancing.

What is the “new White Box crew”
iscream

^^^^ I heard if you put out a double CD you are giving one away a CD^^^^ & is 9 songs total on both CD’s really a double? That’s barely a whole CD anywayyyy

Can’t see Video but I read Michael Ealy is in it. Homeboy is really trying to make a comeback…

@ 7 Peachizz… White box means you can’t see video. All you get is a white box.

I’m part of the White Box crew also.
BayArea

The entire “Sasha Fierce” (Deluxe version) is the BOMB! I listen to the entire CD on my 30 min plus ride to work. I haven’t been able to get into the I Am side of the CD yet.
Mississippi16

I went through and listened to her deluxe edition yesterday and it is REALLY growing on me. Especially the Sasha fierce side.

My sup just rolled in w/ the cold air right while I was in the middle of the vid – bey was killing it.

*\o/* *\o/* *\o/*
Daisy

I don’t like this song at all way corny and wack IMO. Glad you B fans enjoyed carry on..lol

Thanks for that clarification Bird!
coaretained

@DB

You know it’s a hard beat when the MENFOLKS like it.

The album is ok.. growing on me.. but as I’ve said before.. there will NEVER be a nother Dangerously in Love.
bloggergirlz

OMG…this is a club banger! i know some of yall folks dont do clubs, however if you happen to go to one w/ a banging sound system you will fall in love w/ this song…
Sharonda

My friend says this song is made for the hood rats lol, but I like it.But this video…pass.
bloggergirlz

@daisy: it’s not just the sound, the beat is bananas…we all know you stan for rhi rhi anyway
http://myspace.com/necee518 yvonne79

Love the dancing as well…..Another track that I love.
Daisy

@Blog as you say I stan for RiRi but I talk about her as well if she makes a song I dont like (disturbia) or looks a mess (AMAs outfit a hot mess) even w/o RiRi B is overated doesnt move me like that. As a dancer myself she doesnt impress me in that arena either..lol I give her props on being a go getter and hardworker and putting on a good show. She is funny to me trying to be hardcore one min and boring and private the next.
MUNCHOSGIRL

WATCHED IN HQ LAST NIGHT, LOVE IT!
bloggergirlz

@daisy…girl, you know im joking w/ you…i like both of them equally…i talk sh!t about both of them as well…rhi rhi is a breath of fresh air though (even if folks feel she’s less talented)…most of these other chicks cant seem to find their lane…
Naima

I am put off by an artists calling themselves a hustler. Do you feel you are hustling you fans? You won’t hustle me Limewire all the way I say!
lovezoe

One of my favorite songs on the album.
terika83

I like it…I like the swag of the vid…the song annoys me a lil bit but I like seeing her with the hood swag. I think that would actually work better for her (if that was truly her personality) because it lets you in to her personality a lil bit whereas how she really is…you don’t really know what her personality is like cause she puts up this wall (which I don’t blame her for because people dragged her name through the mud when she was herself back in her DC days)…But unfortunately the problem is, we don’t know if that’s her TRUE undercover personality lol…but it worked for the vid. Lol. I liked the dancing scenes
Candi Apple

Well her nickname is baby thug…
Daisy

@Terika when was she herself in DC? I don’t recall that and I loved me some DC. She was the same then as she is now. She has always been manufactured to be very PC (not knocking it just stating the facts)She doesn’t want any negative press and she and her team go out of there way not to rock the boat (again not knocking it just stating the facts)
Daisy

@Blog I know you like giving me a hard time its all good. I can dish it and take it if you know what I mean..lol
Candi Apple

This Video is alright… The dance could have been better especially since she stepped her game up with Single Ladies.. She kept the focus kinda the same with using 2 girls and the leotard thing. Bee is still on top of her game. She does have swag….
Candi Apple

oHH and did everyone really listen to the lyric’s? she is most definitely getting at the haters..

@Daisy, I always find it amusing that people can dish out sh*t but can’t take sh*t being dished out the them…
kwallace577

i am tired of black and white and the same treatment of her plus two dancers. the 3 of them with bey in the middle gives me destiny chiren flashbacks.

sorry stans.
Daisy

@Candi I have to disgree with you about B having swag..lol Before RiRi came out NOBODY ever said B had swag but now all of a sudden she does? I don’t get it or see it, so I will agree to disagree w/o being disagreeable. B has never been anywhere near my aritist who have swag list.
Daisy

@Kwall its ok tell it like it T I is..lol The single ladies video/dancing was very basic. As a former dancer (jazz, tap, ballet, african and hip hop) I was not impressed at all. All she does is pop her back hard and this go round she threw in some cheerleading dance moves to boot..lol I like the song but the dancing was basic and plain.
http://myspace.com/lorettadivine DivineBrown

Why is it that people can’t comment on Beyonce without insulting fans of hers? That’s bananas!

You don’t like her! That’s cool…but does not mean you have to haul off and start personally attacking someone that likes her!

Thats real phuckin petty…
diamondkierra05

I Like, I Like, B didi her thang with this one!!!
http://myspace.com/iyonah iyonah

@Naima – Limewire was the death of two laptops for me — 3 hard drives later I legally purchase the album — still haven’t found me a free 99 site yet — don’t want any more viruses.

@kwall – expect more black & white- new theme ….
http://myspace.com/iyonah iyonah

Your right diamond … I co sign — I want to see some regular Jane’s attmept dancing in those shoes — Bey is BAD! Point, blank period! She sets the BAR – higher and higher for entertainers!

Haters GET MAD!!!

Where is my girl munchos? She always has the facts & #’s ….
Naima

I don’t use Limewire, I don’t want to reveal my “real source”
Candi Apple

@Daisy— I agree with you.. I don’t think Bey has swag to dye for but, I think in this video she is showing a lil swag. She also showed it with Soldier…

@Kwall— She is picking up where she left off with B-Day.. Remember her last two video’s were black and white so I am thinking this is her theme this time around…
Daisy

@DB Girl aint nobody mad but the devil is what my mama use to tell me..lol I agree with your comment but it is what it is.

Will ppl ever let go of the word hater, its got to be the most over used word in the kings english to date!
Daisy

@Candi so you think/feel/believe when she is “acting” hood thats her having swag? I am trying to get clarification..lol
kwallace577

black and white makes my head hurt. cause i am always tryna figure out what color shyt really is!! LMAO. i liked the song tho. vid not so much. i try not to comment too much on bey posts cause her real true stans can be harsh. just voicing my opinion. and i agree dbrown. no need to be personal about it.

sandra takes it “a bit fer” tho sometimes like saying in 20 years she gonna be remembered for having seizures….
terika83

@Daisy I recall her being VERY open about fried chicken and showing her country persona all the time. Making faces and giving people the side eye…once people started bashing her with all that “her daddy runs everything and she’s full of herself” stuff that’s when she would put other members in the middle of the group or let other members give the speech when they won awards and she would just smile and walk off stage….once she got with Jay she got the swag she has now but put up a wall and didn’t really let people in too much to her personality I guess for fear of being criticized again….
Candi Apple

@Daisy— Nah I think she displayed swag.. Ghetto and swag are two different things…
Daisy

@Terika she still talks about eating all the time. She has talked about her love of Popeyes chicken since leaving DC.lol Did you not see the Oprah interview..lol That was her best interview in years in my opinion. She talks about only being able to cook hamburger helper all the time. I dont think thats being open and showing who you really are(not saying she has to do such). We know she is southern and likes creole food thanks to her mama..lol

Divinebrown comment # 40… I swear you are so right about being able to comment with out saying sorry if you don’t have nothing but praise for Beyonce.

Its a shame. People should be able to voice their opinion without feeling like they are going to hurt someones feeling outside of Bey and/or ppl in her camp. Basically people who make money off the Bey brand.

@ Iyonah you got me shook. I just started downloading on limewire. What songs? Damn it I thought I struck gold… guess everything that glitters… you all know the rest.
terika83

@Daisy I mean I wasn’t saying she was open by talking about food just by showing more of her personality….now she doesn’t really talk unless she’s asked questions…(IF that) and she just smiles and nod…she was more talkative back then….

but naw I haven’t seen that interview but I think I heard about it.
http://myspace.com/lorettadivine DivineBrown

iscream…I’ve been opinionated since the day I could talk. I know when I am taking shots at people in the sneak. I also know how to voice my opinion without BEING OFFENSIVE. Some people need a lesson in tact and diplomacy. I don’t understand that.

Also, ISCREAM IF YOU ARE DOWNLOADING FROM LIMEWIRE YOU NEED AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE ASAP! PLEASE DON’T MESS UP YOUR PC!
iscream

Thank you I’m getting that mess off my computer asap… my broke behind cannot afford a virus…
tbrown

I don’t like this song. The video is interesting. The dancing………….
jazi65

by christmas we’ll know who she stole from LOL.
MUNCHOSGIRL

TERIKA83 I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING, BEYONCE WAS MORE OPEN BEFORE THE FIASCO OF CUTTING MEMBERS. SHE GOOFED OFF MORE BACK THEN, SHE WAS YOUNG AND LIVING HER DREAM, ONCE THE GIRLS GOT CUT OR LEFT(DEPENDING ON WHO’S TELLING THE STORY) SHE BECAME MORE GUARDED. SHE DOES ACCEPTANCE SPEECHES NOW BUT SHE LETS IT BE KNOWN THAT SHE DON’T ENJOY THEM. SHE IS NOT AS OPEN AS SHE WAS BEFORE, IF YOU COMPARE THEIR OLD INTERVIEWS TO HER NEW ONES, YOU WOULD SEE.

NOW AS FAR AS THE VIDEO GOES, ME LOVES IT. BOUGHT IT OFF OF LIMEWIRE LAST NIGHT. BEEN PALYIG IT ALL DAY, WELL SORT OF. IYONAH, I WAS HERE, JUST CRUISING THE COMMENTS. YOU ALL READY KNOW, BEY IS MY GIRL, RIGHT NOW DIVA IS MY FAVORITE VIDEO, YEAH SHE IS CUTTING UP N ITUNES RIGHT NOW, ON THE VIDEO CHART SHE HOLDS #’S 2,3,AND 5! ALSO #1 AND #10 ON THE TOP SONGS OF IPOD. IF I WERE A BETTING WOMAN, I WOULD NEVER BET AGAINST BEYONCE, SHE ALWAYS BOUNCES BACK TO THE TOP. HER ALBUM DROPPED IN NOVEMBER, SHE’S STILL IN THE TOP 5, THIS IS THE ALBUM ALOT OF PEOPLE WERE LABELING A FLOP, SHE DESTINED FOR GREATNESS, “WHAT GOD HAS FOR YOU, IT’S FOR YOU!”
MUNCHOSGIRL

AH HELL, I DIDN’T MEAN TO TYPE LIMEWIRE, I MEANT ITUNES! I WAS THINKING OF SOMEONE ELSE’S POST TALKING ABOUT DOWLOADING THE ALBUM FROM LIMWIRE, HELL I PAYEDD MY $1.99 FOR HALO AND DIVA! *GOES BACK TO WATCH THEM AGAIN*
tintin

like the song but i feel like beyonce is being fake like she’s a thug girl all of a sudden. and i thought she said she ain”t no diva in the first place.

Merry Christmas honies!!!!

I have missed ya’ll!!! I’m still blocked at work. Next year I will have my laptop where I can access SR anywhere!!!

Love the song but I couldn’t wait to it ended!!! The song that plays at the end of the video…Video Phone (I think) sounds HOTT!!!

She needs to release that song next!! Maybe I will go get the album if I can’t find that song out the net!!!
MUNCHOSGIRL

TINTIN, YOU AREN’T A FAN, HUH? I ASKED BECAUSE UNBEKNOWEST TO SOME BEYONCE HAS BEEN CALLED BABY THUG FOR YEARS, BY JAY, HE CALLS HER BABY THUG IN “THAT’S HOW YOU LIKE IT” NOT TO MENTION THIS LIL CLIP FROM THE S.CARTER COLLECTION
http://www.imeem.com/people/-Z-k9O/music/L6zcFyDm/beyonces_carter_collection_babythug_interlude/ SOME PEOPLE THINK ALOT OF THE THINGS BEYONCE IS DOING NOW IS NEW, IT’S NOT. SASHA, ISN’T NEW, SHE JUST GAVE HER A LAST NAME…FIERCE. THEY HAVE BEEN CALLING HER STAGE PERSONA SASHA FOR YEARS AS WELL.

YES, SHE SAID SHE WASN’T A DIVA, THE “DIVA” WHICH ACTS LIKE HER SHYT DON’T STANK, SHE SAID SHE GAVE IT HER OWN MEANING. NOTICE IN THE SONG, “DIVA IS A FEMALE VERSION OF A HUSTLER” SHE IS ABOUT GETTING HER MONEY, NOT ACTING A FOOL!
ChokLitFactory

She put it DOWN with the dancing and the fierce outfits! She giving Rhi a run for her money! lol I don’t like the song too much, but the vid makes it better.

Can someone tell me why B’s CD has like 10 songs for being a double album??? That ish turned me RIGHT off!!
pointhimout

sandra, u gotta admit that track is hot. i think sean garrett did this one?????
