Divas in the old sense of the word r gone. and no i don't mean bitch. I mean a woman who could sing her ass off, is fine, and is strong. thats a true diva.

people like Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Whitney Houston, The Suprememes, Patti Labelle, Tina Turner. People like that r "true" divas. and they didn't get that titel overnight like so many r now. they worked hard. and really deserve to be called Divas.

but man o man! n e and everybody is getting that title now!

i was watchin E! True Hollywood Stories: Pop Divas.
My God it was flippin aweful!

These r the chicks they had on there interviewed or they showed clips of:
Brandy
Nelly Furtado
Monica
Beyonce
Britney Spears
Christina Aguilera
Hillary Duff
Fefe Dobson
Katy Rose
Alicia Keys
Ashanti
Avril Lavigne
Cherie

and i think some other chicks whose names i cannot remember.

now lets disect each of these people. 4 none of these girls r "true" divas.

Brandy: first off Brandy gets points 4 being strong cuz she had a nervous breakdown and all. but by no means is she a diva! i hate her singing and she aint all that cute. i like her acting tho. y someone would call brandy a diva is beyond me i just don't kno..but then again whoever is "hot" at the moment is the new diva so....

Nelly Furtado: i like her. shes cool. bearable voice. hella better than brandy. and she is FINE. but by no means is she a diva. her singing aint the shit! and we all kno divas r known for their voices.

Moncia: don't get me started on her. imo she has a terrible voice. but she is cute. and she gets strength points for goin thru the suicide of her b/f commin out of it sane. but by no means is she a diva.

Beyonce: beyonce imo aint the shit. her singing voice is ok. it aint all that hot. not 2 me. shes cute. thats about it. and she got some catchy stuff.

Britney Spears: nuff said

Christina Aguilera: i love her. she is one of the few people out right now who has "it" and imo is a diva in the making. she has a strong voice. shes beautiful. and shes been thru alot of shit as a kid so she gets strength points. to me shes a diva in the making.

Hillary Duff: ugh....

Fefe Dobson: i like her. her albums cool 2 me. i can relate. shes cute. and she gets strength points cuz she done been thru some stuff wit her dad n her childhood but by no means is she a diva. her voice aint all that.

Katy Rose: i really can't comment on her cuz i really don't know who she is. this is the first time i'm hearing of her.

Alicia Keys: i loove her. she just as christina is one of the few females out her right now that has what it takes to b a diva. shes a dit - diva n training. she has an amazing voice. she writes and plays her own music. shes beautiful. and she seems 2 b one of those take no shit kind of chicks. yea shes definately a diva n the making.

Ashanti: aww naww hell naww! i stopped really focusin on her when they named her princess of r&b. the only thing ashanti gets from me is strength points bcuz she went thru 2 failed deals and still kept tryin and that does show strength.

Avril Lavigne: aww naww hell naww!

Cherie: i really can't comment on her cuz i don't really kno who she is.

Now i dare somebody to say that any of these girls 'cept christina and alicia. i dare n e of u 2 say that these girls r divas! or divas in the making. i DARE U!

I know some women who are not amused you calling them a bitch and/or a whore....
I am gonna quote me some Prince...

Hooker, bitch or ho, I don't think so...

You could have said, I like me some STRONG women....

Christina and her stylists Twisted Sister agree that she is beautiful

vainandy said:

Donna Summer's a whore?

And why are Tina/Pat/etc. there simply because they do rock music?

Yikes. Strong language.

Diva is an entirely overused word.

If you were to use it properly, we'd actually be talking about:

Maria Callas
Jessye Norman
Renata Tebaldi
Teontyne Price
Beverly Sills
Kathleen Battle(axe) (a true diva in every sense - nasty or otherwise)

Joan Sutherland, damnit!

You forget the best bleeding opera singer of the 20th century!

gooeythehamster said:

So true. I love strong women. I use the words as a highest form of complement.
