Sooo you mean to tell me that MILEY CYRUS is a diva, but Toni Braxton is PRESENTING!?
What in sam hell…I don’t think I’m going to watch this. There are so many things wrong with this lineup…
H1 Divas added a Dreamgirl and a trio of rockers to their lineup today as the network announced that Jennifer Hudson, Sheryl Crow, Cyndi Lauper and Melissa Etheridge will all perform at the September 17th concert at Brooklyn, New York’s Academy of Music. Martina McBride will also perform on the special. The quintet joins a previously announced roster of lady vocal talent: Leona Lewis, Kelly Clarkson, Miley Cyrus, Jordin Sparks and Adele. As Rolling Stone previously reported, former American Idoljudge Paula Abdul will host the festivities, which will be broadcast live on September 17th on VH1.
In addition to the performers, VH1 also revealed that the evening’s presenters will include The Hills alums Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port, My Life on the D-List host Kathy Griffin, fellow diva Toni Braxton, the cast of the Fame remake and actor Ryan Kwanten, who plays Jason Stackhouse on HBO’s True Blood.

Half of these women just “relatively” getting their start…if “divas” = woman singers, ok. Fine. Sure.
But MILEY CYRUS? She’s neither a diva nor a singer. Girl has some good songs, but Toni better be shilling a new album around then to justify this mockery of her career. I can’t. Seriously! And Cyndi Lauper has been on the show more than any other diva ever.
Ugh, I will probably still watch it though. You know I am partial to some women singing. BUT STILL. COME ON! Oh the injustice. How dreadful (c) Dwight Eubanks.

I was discussing this with a friend the other day. We would’ve wanted the show to be like this;
It opens with Beyoncé/Sasha Fierce. Then Toni Braxton with new material, followed by Janet Jackson. It continues with Whitney Houston, Jill Scott, Chrisette Michele and Jazmine Sullivan. Then there’s maybe one of 2 songs by Jennifer Hudson, a reunion of En Vogue and it ends with a reunion of Destiny’s Child (all 6 of ‘m, including Solange)

It wouldn’t be fair if Beyonce performed twice, but other than that I’d watch this.
People like Celine Dion and Toni Braxton- Yes. They’ve been in the business for years, with records and sales to match DIVA status. Sparks needs to wait a bit longer, but with her talent she’s on a way. Cyrus should stay home with Mickey Mouse, and I won’t even comment on the over-hyped Adele/Duffy/Winehouse wannabe.
