Premiering on VH1 in 1998, "VH1 Divas" became synonymous with some of the most memorable live female vocal performances in television history.

Lymon Posted July 21, 2009 at 03:35 PM Posted July 21, 2009 at 03:35 PM I don't get it. Two of the most well-known divas, Mariah and Whitney, are releasing albums within weeks of the broadcast, and instead they chose trash like Miley Cyrus? I don't get it. I'll watch Kelly and Leona's performances on YouTube after the broadcast, because I am surely not tuning in this year. Quote http://i51.tinypic.com/2uf4r5f.png
Nikosn17 Posted July 21, 2009 at 03:36 PM Posted July 21, 2009 at 03:36 PM THEY HAVE THE 2 BIGGEST DIVAS Whitney and Mariah releasing new albums week after week and they invited Miley Cyrus. That's the most ridiculous list ever. Quote

Charles Posted July 21, 2009 at 05:16 PM Posted July 21, 2009 at 05:16 PM WTF?! Miley??? Adele, i'm fine with her, but Leona and Kelly??? DUDE, it take more than just a few years to earn a DIVA status Okay??!! Other than 100Million$ in the bank, you need millions and millions of records sold, FAMOUS around the world......i hope they add some real divas, or i will boycott it.. Quote
maceta_biloxi Posted July 21, 2009 at 05:31 PM Posted July 21, 2009 at 05:31 PM (edited) "VH1 will bring back the legendary live concert event"... without legendary singers... what the hell they were thinking!!!!I guess that the really good singers are going to be busy or maybe there are no Divas anymore... I mean Miley Cirus, the kid doesn't even sing. Kelly Clarkson doesn't scream Diva to me. Adelle & Leona are fairly new in the US... Leona could eventually become a Diva with the right songs but not right now just with Bleeding Love. Anyway i guess that's what the kids are into these days, we are talking about 10 years after the first Divas concert. I am not asking for Celine but at least singers with a huge carrier and accomplishments like Sarah McLachlan, Sheryl Crow, Toni Braxton and even Vanessa Williams can make the cut for a DIVA... I am very disappointed!!

Edwin Posted July 21, 2009 at 05:36 PM Posted July 21, 2009 at 05:36 PM Don't know if they are paid to appear, but maybe they couldn't afford to pay 'bigger' stars. None of them have proven their staying power yet, IMO. But I do like Kelly and Leona so I'll watch for them. Quote
Loup_garou Posted July 21, 2009 at 06:15 PM Posted July 21, 2009 at 06:15 PM I'm ok with Leona Lewis and Kelly Clarkson, and very glad that Adele is there...but C'mon Miley??????? It's just annoying....If I was one of the other three I would resign from the concert just for the sake of being insulted....even Amy Winehouse heavily drugged is better than Miley Quote
