Trevor Nelson's Divas

Beyoncé - the Diva who doesn't behave like a Diva

Duration: 57 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 2Latest broadcast: on BBC Radio 2

Available for over a year

Trevor has literally watched Beyoncé grow up, from Destiny's Child to being half the ultimate power couple with Jay-Z. For her, it's all about the performance and she always gives 100%. Polite, generous and fun, she never behaved like a Diva except when she performed and now when she uses mystery as a promotional tool, rather than giving interviews. Global superstar Beyoncé also uses her influence on important issues, like her friends the Obamas, for example, galvanising people in America to vote.

Trevor celebrates Beyoncé Knowles and you'll hear them together at the Notting Hill Carnival, where her father agreed that Destiny's Child would cancel a gig in Philadelphia to play for free on Trevor's stage, plus her bringing Crazy In Love to the studio for the first time and Trevor introducing Beyoncé on stage and chatting at a Television Centre concert where she imitates his accent in an affectionate way and laughs about playing a car park.
