Lil' Mama - I'm A Diva
Artist: Lil' Mama
Producer: Bloodshy and Avant
Album: Untitled Sophomore Album
Label: Familiar Mindz
In the course of Lil Mama‘s career to date, we’ve seen several sides of the Harlem-born femcee; though she hit the scene as a Lip Gloss-popping teenybopper, her account of her rough childhood on fourth single L.I.F.E. revealed surprising lyrical depth. Now, with the lead single off her currently-untitled sophomore LP, she’s stepping into the spotlight as a dance-pop songstress who’s proud to say, “I’m A Diva.” Though Mama’s lyrics, which focus on her sassiness and fashion sense, aren’t going to appeal to everyone, this is the kind of club-oriented cut that truly lives or dies on the strength of its beat and hook; fortunately, the synth-heavy production stylings of Bloodshy and Avant (not the singer) and the catchy chorus should be enough to have I’m a Diva running through listeners’ heads, as well as pumping through club sound systems. Lil Mama’s sophomore LP currently lacks an official release date – stay tuned for further details.

For some reason, I expected this to be a freestyle over Beyonce's "I'm A Diva".
Totally something different. I loved her CD. This is something different as well. She coulda came up with a more original topic since wack Beyonce just dropped a song like this, but it's not bad. It's just not something I would expect from Lil Mama. Sounds a lot like Christina and Britney. But I like the pop music appeal. 3 stars. |

Haha MH, I was with you. SO glad it wasn't though. However, still not feeling this and would never play it again. Mainstream appeal, but I think it needs some work.

I guess its ok for mainstreem or for 13 year olds. She needs to stick to being a judge on americas best dance crew and hang her rap career up

I can see why people won't dig her voice in the verses, but it's merely a typical approach to match the character/subject I guess.
So you can hate… but not that much! ;) She’s a talented rapper (see L.I.F.E.). I can’t complain since this is obviously not aimed at my demographic group and can see as much success as any robotic Britney Spears single. |

from the first note.. it sounded real wack, overpoppy.
"fendi.. prada.. gucci and gabanna" "Im a diva" lines that are SO overused. |

to take her serious she should first decide whether she is a singer or a rapper and come up with better raps...cuz that wasn't it baby...

This song, as is probably part of the intent, just sounds like a teenage girl song. That's the vibe that the (annoying) "lip gloss" single had, and it obviously continues here.
The beat is upbeat and very playful, perfect for a teeny bopper song. The lyrics are boring and annoying, just like "lip gloss." I actually liked her singing, maybe because I wasn't expecting it to not suck... Regardless, it is definitely not for me... |
