Speaking of criminally underrated singers, i`ll have to mention this beautiful, talented songstress, Meli`sa Morgan



You know, i remember you posted her "Deeper love" video some time ago, i still watch the video... "Fool`s paradise" is AMAZING, her voice has a certain quality, soulful.

Joan Crawford

She who's name shall not be mentioned in a jackson thread

none of these people are actually divas, if you want to get technical. a diva is a female opera singer.

Tessa said:

On THAT note, Kathleen Battle is the very last real diva.

TonyVanDam said:

JoJo?

I do think she has a nice voice...but she's not diva status.

TonyVanDam said:

And who is JoJo???

Madame X

From the Mary Jane Girls.

I like Jojo but she's a baby--a mere 15 years old.

I think a diva should at least be 30 and over. There's something to be said for maturity and experience.

But in light of Tessa's post on what a real diva is--thank you for noting that--I'd have to agree with Kathleen Battle.

ELTON JOHN!!

The last GREAT Diva’s
Billie Holiday (She might have sung the blues back then but she’s singing with angels now)
Ella Fitzgerald (Singing right next to Bille)
Liberace (Miss Thing could wear some outfits. She's play the piano behind Ella and Billie)

Grand Diva’s
Diana Ross (Mess with her and she’ll cut ya)
Aretha Franklin (And the two Mount Everest she carries with her… Much respect…)
Tina Turner (And got the body to prove it)
Little Richard (Come on now, can’t have a list without…)
Patti Labelle (She’s in a category to herself. Only one word can describe “FIERCE”!!!)
Kathleen Battle (Mommy through a fit when she didn’t have Red roses in her dressing room)
Maria Callas (That voice….)
Cicely Tyson (Enough said)
Diane Carroll (My first crush)
Joan Crawford (Mommy don’t like wire hangers)
Joan Collins (BITCH!!! And can still work it!!!)
Julie Andrews (One word… WOW!!!)
Angela Bassett (Classy and elegant, my second crush)
Elton John (Just made the list)
Chaka Khan (Cause she’s every women)


Diva’s in training
Whitney Huston (before Bobby)
Whitney Huston (After Bobby…. Hopefully)
Ellen Barkin (I just love this woman. Always sexy and classy but don’t f*ck with her cause she will beat your azz!!)
Jamie Lee Curtis (Just a real as it gets)
Janet Jackson (The black version of Marilyn Monroe without the president of course)
George Michael (She has more drama than a little bit)

She wishes
Beyon-Z (Until she opens her mouth. She has a LONG way to go)
Mariah Carey (Stop please, your not a porn star)

If your born after 1980 you have a long way to go to make the list… But there are a few out there working their way up…
