It’s a fairly instant, by-the-numbers slow stomper similar to that of Rihanna‘s “Umbrella,” though far less brilliant. The umbrella, as I’m sure we can well agree, is much more aurally pleasing than the halo…Especially when in it’s four syllable format.

I rather enjoy Beyoncé’s lower register as exhibited within the verses of “Halo.” I wish she wouldn’t have to resort to shouting so often! PopJustice says the track was meant for the likes of Leona Lewis, who would have probably delivered a better rouse of emotion and a better control. Shame!

Yeah, I said it.

it’s not screaming…it’s singing with ACTUAL EMOTION.

but apparently anything that doesn’t sound like britney or madonna MUST be screaming.

Sorry, she screams! Period. Her last album was a bunch of screaming except for the best song. And this album is more of the same, with some solid exceptions like Smash Into You and If I Were A Boy.
