Diva is pronounced Beyonce. While enjoying the glamorous life in reality — crooning "At Last" as the first dance for President Barack Obama and his First Lady, Michelle, is about as good as it gets for an r&b/pop star — this b&w video is a gritty, yet glossy embodiment of the more rebellious "Sasha Fierce" alter-ego that the singer unveiled to counter her actual image. Besides rocking a pair of sunglasses that one-ups Kanye's shutter shades, Beyonce unveils another dance to follow her now iconic Fosse-esque "Put A Ring On It" routine, and even holds her own among some silvery mannequins. And, then, she gets to blow some shit up. Diva! --> watch "Diva"
