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

oh wow...a great list...i do agree...

and folks, is there really such a thing as an obscure diva? Miki Howard? Mary Jane Girls? Love em and all but...divas?

A diva is somebody who carrys herself as such, its an attitude.

Sure, why not?

Sales and status are irrelevent when it comes to this term. A diva is somebody who carrys herself as such, its an attitude. I think that my mother is a diva.

Most importantly, a diva is somebody who bounced back from rock bottom. The reason why I picked Miki becoz she's been through drugs, abusive men, seeing her own house burnt(with everything you could imagine except the purse in her arm) went through the humilation of bankruptcy,,,,and yet managed to bounce back from all of that madness. Not to mention protecting her kids from all the havoc she been through.

Her new album, while it isn't necessarily a Mariah comeback, I give her the credit for being stubborn about delievering her effort.

But then again, it depends on how an individual preserve the term. There isn't really a universal definition of the word.
