i like it!
Better than Beyonce’s. So R&B chics are following in emcee footsteps with tracks (kinda)?
Listening to it for the third time. It’s better than B’s because it’s more believeable coming from Ciara.
bee is better.ciara soud funny,trash… one is bee queen of r’n'b music….
Ciara is better than Beyonce. Sh´s a Diva and next year will be the Ciara`years.
I like it, better than Bey’s actually. this song fits her style.
like ciara better!! but maybe someone can comment on like a boy! what do u think about ciara and bey???
I agree that Ciara did it much better. I think it’s because Ciara’s more of a “round the way” girl than Bey, so this kind of song is waay more believable coming from her.
I am sorry….. Leave it. Ciara sounds ridiculous.
Ciara looks great in this photo, but I’m not a huge fan of her version of ‘Diva’
I’m fans of both singers, however, B’s new album is pure trash. I prefer Ciara’s version of diva, her style fits the track.
I think that Ciara has more of the street cred to pull off the thugness of the song. B however is a Diva so the topic of the song makes more sense. So it’s tie. I agree with Niko, B’s new album is not that impressive. Also, B is no Queen of R&B. She is a pop singer not R&B.
CIARA is the best rnb singer of the world..i love you
I like Bey and all, but Ciara’s version is much better. Bey sounds funny trying to be hood. Um, you can’t be “hood” then be “uppity”. Choose one.
No hating here. Just pure honesty. And for the record, I never really cared for Ciara, but I think this fit well on her.
beyonces a tru diva stop hatin on her shes been in this game for a minute u never heard of ciara until 2004 when goodies dropped her first song so whos the tru diva beyonce can sing she can dance shes a songwriter a wife and a actress come on now do we needa go into album sales b’s a beast ciara only has like 2 albums out
Def Ciara…fits her style better…way better. Tick for Tack…Beyonce stole “Boy”
I like Ciara’s version a lot better. Definitely fits her style more.
Umm, sorry, but NO. ‘Diva’ has nothing to do with street cred or anything hood, clearly. As Beyonce said in the song…”She (Ciara) ain’t no diva!” I enjoy Ciara’s dance skills and what not, but this was not what that was and y’all know it. Lil wayne could do a harder remix. That is all.
The Song is Alright, but the Song “Diva” needs to be sung by a True Diva..and that is Beyonce…
Ciara makes the Song sound a bit Ghetto and thuggish….Ciara’s just tryna Hop on b’ swag…jheez..
I think if Beyonce’s video wouldn’t have been trying to display her as hood (i.e. smoking the cigar at the end & doing that jacked up dance move she did) then her version would have been stronger. She should have been more about the glitz and glam of what she does, and how she is treated as a diva…..so with that crappy video I think Ciara would have pulled this one out betta and it would have been a better hit from her. I speaks the truth!!!!
I am a fan of both ladies but Ciara’s version of Diva – Not so much I will leave it….I think Ciara would have put together a better video than Beyonce
CEE’S IS MUCH BETTER, SHE SOUNDS BETTER
I like Ciara and all but I have to go w/B’s!
ciara is always tryna be like beyonce
she just needs to stop
