From it’s infectious hook to haunting melody, ‘Paparazzi‘ is easily one of the strongest pieces to hit Pop within the last decade…or, dare we say, the last twenty years.

The clip depicts the Epic Records singer preparing for her recent VH1 Divas 2012 performance with her troop of dancers and Beyonce’s musical director, the amazing Kim Burse. Aired last month, the live showing saw the Atlanta native tribute Michael Jackson before launching into ‘Got Me Good’.
