Aretha & Mariah at 1998 VHI1 “Divas”
The storied VH1 show “Divas”, in which some of the “top” (depending on who you ask) female singers are honored and sing some of their biggest hits, is returning to the network.
I don’t even know if I can give them ANY play after all these coonified shows they’ve been showing though, but Lord KNOWS I love “Divas”.
However, they are opening it up to fan “input” (I’m sure…), but check it out:
VH1 is bringing back its “Divas” franchise for the first time since 2005, the music network announced on Monday (April 20). The performance special – which in past years has showcased Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Shania Twain, Chaka Khan and Diana Ross – will air live on September 17 from the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Howard Gilman Opera House in New York.
In an effort to diversify the “Divas” lineup for its 2009 revival, VH1 has asked the public to offer its opinion on which top female talent should headline the show and perform an onstage duet. Fans can visit divas.vh1.com to cast their choices via the comments section. Over 2,000 comments have been posted since Monday morning. (Source)
My choices? For the younger generation?
Ledisi, Deborah Cox, P!nk, Adele, Jennifer Hudson, Fantasia, Martina McBride, Jully Black, Carrie Underwood and Tamia.
Who would you all like to see and why?

Great choices; I would love Tamia or Ledisi

Umm…how nobody gonna put Chrisette Michelle on their list? I think she’d be great. I also agree with you on Ledisi, JHud and Fantasia…but the person who thinks Beyonce WOULDN’T be the natural headliner on this is smoking that good ooh wee, ’cause ain’t no way in hayell VH1 would give up that money-making opportunity. Bey as the headliner with a special appearances by Mariah Carey, and Whitney in the audience, FTW.
On another note though, I hope they bring back Pop-Up Video for this so we can see the behind the scenes notes like they had for the first one–those were HILARIOUS!
