beyonce has a diva moment

        

if something goes wrong during a beyonce convert, and you're an employee, be ready to face the wrath of lady b. ms. knowles' may 2nd concert had some technical difficulties in terms of the show's lighting set up for "diva."  being the talented artist that she is, beyonce was able to weave some new lyrics into the hit song - "lights! somebody's getting fired." at least we can now confirm she always sings live.  check out the video above and listen for b's diva tantrum around the 40 second mark. i guess some celebs can't be down to earth all the time.  click here to see another pop-diva, britney spears, have a concert freakout of her own when a fan rushes the stage.  brit was obviously not ready for any uncalled for interaction and screams while her voice mysteriously still plays over the loud speakers. interesting right? ha. a frightened brit can be seen around the 2:15 mark. 

jordin sparks is no one-hit-wonder

        

jordin sparks is set to revisit the american idol stage on wednesday, two years after taking home the top title, to perform her new single, "battlefield," off her soon to be released sophomore disc.  jordin had some major success with "no air," her duet with chris brown off her first album, so i'll be interested to see who she collaborates with on this cd.  "battlefield" is a break-up/make-up/love anthem produced by one republic ("apologize") frontman ryan tedder.  listen to the song above and judge for yourself - i'm a fan.  so much music has come out over the past week, meaning record companies are hurting and expecting these songs to bring them out of their depression. the remaining finalists on idol (chris, danny, and adam - the first all-boy final 3) will perform 2 songs this week, a judges pick and a choice of their own. 

justin timberlake pulls a paula abdul 

         

okay, but not in any way you may have thought.  new old footage of jt surfaced today of the former n'sync frontman performing a duet to abdul's opposites attract at the germantown festival in memphis, tennessee sometime in the 80s - prior to his mickey mouse club days.  check it out above. oh, nostalgia.  timberlake's voice has (thankfully) changed quite a bit - the girl overshadows him in the performance, but he sure does have the dance moves down.
