vh1 Divas tonight

I'm going have to call these "recession" divas.

We have Jennifer Hudson, Adele, Jordin Sparks, Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis and Miley Cyrus.

Where's Lil Mama? razz

Paula Abdul is the host. She opened with a montage of her songs and about near fell over trying to dance. Her lipsynch is not synched well. Plus it looks like American Idol is paying for this because Simon and Ryan are all over the place. Her comedic timing sucks so bad and her voice keeps cracking. It's just really sad to watch (Demerol?).

The she came out dress up and dancing like Ellen. Routine was good but why so bitter, ma?!? Kathy Griffith came out and they tried to be risque and raunchy.

The "divas" are doing their current songs and sound good but look boring.

Leona is doing a duet with Cyndi Lauper and thank goodness it's not Lil Kim! Is Cyndi just shopping out True Colors to whoever will sing it now?

We've come a long way from Whitney, Mariah, Celine and Aretha, haven't we.

I'm from Brooklyn, so I have a little hustler in my blood....

it is nice to see India Arie, even though she is not being billed a diva.

one thing with most of these divas, they seem to be eating well.... lol lots of thickness in the air!

Kelly and Melissa Etheridge (who seems to be pimping out Bring Me Some Water like Cyndi is pimping true Colors) but they sound really really good together.

lol

I liked "Party in the U.S.A.", but that's probably more because of the excitement of the song and performance (not her voice). She has an unflattering rasp. lol

J. Hud + Stevland = clapping

biggrin Well, the original title of diva were given to those opera singers who mainly had some meat on their bones. So I guess it fits.

Man, the only reason I would watch this show is because Adele and Jennifer Hudson are on it and they are both spectacular...only modern-day, vocally-talented divas that we have out right now IMHO.
