The diva is back


???Beyonce has proven once again that she deserves being crowned the "Queen of R&B."

???For her latest feat, The Queen B has unleashed her alter ego Sasha Fierce on the deluxe album I Am...Sasha Fierce.

???On the first disc, Beyonce bares her soul through beautiful ballads such as "Halo," "Satellites," and "Broken Hearted."

???"Remember those walls I built/ Well baby they're tumbling down /And they didn't even put up a fight /They didn't even make a sound /I found a way to let you in/But I never really had a doubt /Standing in the light of your halo/I got my angel no," sings Beyonce on "Halo."

???With "Disappear," "Broken Hearted," and "Ave Maria," Beyonce displays her vocal range and talent, making it difficult to decide which ballad is most impressive.

???The second disc is filled with dance tracks and Beyonce's boastful personality that her fans know and love. Tracks like her club hit "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)," which has been raiding air waves, is followed by other noticeable hits "Radio" and "Diva."

"Stop the track, let me state facts/ I told you give me a minute, and I'll be right back/ Fifty million round the world and they said that I couldn't get it / I done got so sick and filthy with benj's I cant spend/ Been the number one diva in this game for a minute/ I know you read the paper, the one that they call a queen/ Every radio round the world know me/ 'Cause that's where I be," sings Beyonce.

???Alright Beyonce, we get it. Rihanna should watch out, because the diva is back and coming full force, releasing numerous videos at once and already raiding the top charts with her smashing singles "If I Were a Boy" and "Single Ladies."

???And with talks of "Halo" and "Diva" being her next singles ready to be released within the next couple of weeks, it will only be a matter of time before the Queen B reclaims her throne.
