Good work! Here are some minor issues:-

Lead

• Its Melina-directed music video shows the singer and backup dancers in a warehouse, and it presents choreography similar to that of "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)." — confusing. Change to something like Its music video, directed by Melina, shows the singer and backup dancers in a warehouse, and it presents choreography similar to that of "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).". Also, it presents "a" choreography..  Done Jivesh boodhun (talk) 18:55, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

• The second paragraph has two "However", and some sentences are confusing like "However, its release was scrapped and "Diva" was released instead to urban radio on January 20, 2009 while "Halo" was sent for mainstream airplay on the same date. However, on the same date, "Diva" was sent to rhythmic radio alone."  Done Jivesh boodhun (talk) 18:55, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Composition

• There are many similarities between Knowles' "Diva" and the song "A Milli" by Lil Wayne. This is due to the fact that both are produced by Bangladesh — sounds too basic. Reword.  Done Jivesh boodhun (talk) 18:55, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

• In terms of audacity — change link to "audacity". The current link goes to Audacity software.  Done

No, it's not fixed. Novice7 (talk) 07:42, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

Now  Done
