Of course all the lady singers have some type of diva issues , even though Lyn was extremely down to earth. The bad beef with Aretha came from Aretha.

The first time Marva performed at the Apollo, Aretha was on the bill. Marva was a huge fan, so she walked up to Aretha and told her how much she admired her. Aretha looked at her, rolled her eyes, and walked off without saying a word. That did it for Marva. She would never cover an Aretha song after that.

Lyn had a couple of bad encounters with Aretha. The first one was at the Apollo, too, where both were billed. Lyn overheard Aretha laughing after her set, telling others that Lyn would never get anywhere because she couldn't sing. The other time was somewhere in Manhattan in the mid-1970s, when James Brown and Lyn went out for dinner and bumped into Aretha. James and Aretha chatted, and when James introduced Lyn to Aretha, Aretha wouldn't shake Lyn's hand and rolled her eyes. James was pretty upset, he felt disrespected, too.

Not surprised.

She did the same thing to Gladys. Aretha strikes me as a female that don't like women and cater to men, i heard about her younger days.

Yep, Aretha is pretty much sensitive against all kinds of "vaginas".

Uh,, double on her petty ass

Harlepolis said:

Most female Soul singers have these diva issues though. I could tell you stories about Gwen McCrae that would blow your mind.

MrSoulpower said:

Yep,that sounds like Aretha I've heard numerous stories like those...lol..For some reason,she always appeared to be insecure/threatened around other female singers,as if she was in danger of losing her "Queen of Soul" status.

MrSoulpower said:

Looks are truly deceiving

Ms.McCrae doesn't strike me as the catty type.

What I don't get though is, they get a SHIT load of ass whoopings from their men,,,,but end up taking out their hostility against their fellow female peers as if the shit ain't HARD enough as it is.

I don't understand that my damn self.

Harlepolis said:

Gwen is the most difficult (I chose a rather inoffensive word since this is a public website) woman I have ever worked with. Her issues are too big for this world, which is why after two years, I called it quits. What an amazing performer, though.

But she was jealous of other artists like I've never seen before. She was even jealous of Lyn Collins - more than a year after Lyn passed away.

But I agree about the whoopings from men .. none of them chose their men wisely.

I think theres an error on the first post...
Beyonce, Ciara ( ), Christina Aguilara are not Divas.
No, Beyonce is not a diva regardless of that gaudy song


Cher vs. Madonna
Cher called Madonna a cunt!


Janet vs. Madonna


Mariah dissing Madonna


Elton vs. Madonna

she must be doing something right?

Timmy84 said:

Gene Simmons left Diana Ross for Shannon Tweed (his current girlfriend). Diana & Shannon were already sisters-in-laws due to the fact that one of Diana's brothers were married to one of Shannon's sisters at the time.

Do male divas count?

If it does, how about George Michael vs. Boy George?

TonyVanDam said:

Where is my head... Yeah he IS with Shannon! I bet Arthur "T-Boy" Ross married Shannon's sister.

I love them. They're all Mariah-ish and shit

Elton John vs Tina Turner at divas live

Fa real ? ... not the :
These differences are subtle to notice for me

Bette Midler vs Barbra Stresand, been at each others throats since the 70s, when Barbra less than impressed with Midlers 1979 hit "The Rose" which by the way was one of the greatest movies ever made, eclipsed Streisands 1977 bomb a Star is born. She (Ms Streisand) said I am a singer who acts, she is an actress who sings, Barbra started as a bit of miskeit but became elegant quickly playing period roles and singing show tunes until 1970s stoney end (The first song of hers with a beat) and is quite elegant compared to Middler whose known for her tongue in tit humor, marijuana usage and enormous camp appeal. To me Barbra may have triumphed, but their both goddesses in my eyes

- Hmmm, Chaka calling Donna a "disco slut"; I wonder why

And she's wearing fur in the first pic, why is Carrie posing with her?

Mstrustme said:

I know right, i guess because she was compare to her during the late 70's.

- Phyllis Hyman (R.I.P.) and Angie Bofill (get better)
