I think my absurd, blinding hatred for Beyonce is pretty well known around here, so I don't need to belabor all of the scores of reasons why she is completely vile and loathesome, but I recently saw the video for "Diva", and I honestly have to wonder if she's topped herself in terms of awfulness.

Let's be honest- this song is Fuggie-level bad. From the annoying "I'ma, I I'ma a diva" loop to the asinine lyrics that she delivers with such faux conviction to the crass attempt to create an anthem about an overused term to a complete misunderstanding of what the term means, this song has it all.

If last year's awful hit of the year was "I Kissed a Girl", the previous year's a tossup between "Fergalicious" and Ashlee Simpson's "Outta My Head", "Diva" certainly ranks (and yes, it is very rank) right up there.

I like to jam to it like it's a novelty song.

And because I know the org hates it

Are there other hate-filled threads I can read?

Moonbeam said:

What?

purplesweat said:

Other threads that provide evidence that the org hates this song?

yeah, much as i enjoy her... this is bad.

Are you talking about that dumb shit "Diva is a female version of a hustler" song? Figures something that stupid would be courtesy of Bounshay. Somebody needs to hand that bitch a dictionary.

meow85 said:

Indeed.

What an atrocity.

Moonbeam said:

Uh...any thread with the word "Beyonce" in it?

The org hates even her best work, it makes sense they'd despise one of her worst

Moonbeam said:

And it's so hard to avoid. Not only are half the stores in this city playing it and all the radio stations, but I have the misfortune of living with someone with highly questionable taste in music. I'd heard the song a LOT, and had an inkling she was responsible, but didn't know for sure if it was her or not.

meow85 said:

I've only heard it twice, thankfully. Songs like this actually make me angry.

Moonbeam said:

That's like, more pathetic than the song itself.

purplesweat said:

So, one of the reasons you listen to the song is because people that you don't know hate it. That's more ridiculous than the song.

Moonbeam said:

oh yes this song ranks as #4 on my list of worst songs of 2009

Really?! Come one, now, it's not her best song but is it really worthy of all this hate? People do seem to have it out for her.

Yeah I thought her worst song was "Halo! Halo! Halo! Hayyy-lo!"

she looks like an ugly gorilla in the video! It's very embarrassing for her

purplesweat said:

Well, I apologize for being passionate about music and that I get upset by the fact that absolute dross like this is popular.

MendesCity said:

I will admit that I am a Beyonce hater, but I think this song is truly deserving of it.

PurpleCharm said:

It's called a joke.

Moonbeam said:

It's not popular. It's a huge flop.

purplesweat said:

It seems to have gone to number 19 in the US. That's not a flop!

i loathe this crap

makes me loathe her even more than i already did


that stupid 'dance' she does

Moonbeam said:

Since when do chart positions matter to anyone here?

purplesweat said:

No need to be stroppy! It's just evidence that the song is at the very least fairly well-known. What a waste of space on a radio playlist it is!

Moonbeam said:

I'm not being stroppy.

I honestly don't know anyone who likes this song.

I think that Beyonce has talent.She just wastes it on lame ass material That "Single Ladies" song is garbage.I haven't even heard this new song "Diva".I try to avoid her music at all costs

SoulAlive said:

Yes, "Single Ladies" is awful. But it's a stone-cold classic compared to the mess that is "Diva".

But 'Halo' makes up for those two.
