I hate it for Sheryl Crow lol.. I’m super excitd about seeing Jennifer and Stevie Wonder

If the show is called Divas it should have been only women. I love Stevie Wonder but I would have prefered you to pair Jennifer with Leona for example, instead of adding men to the line-up.
You should go back to your roots for next year’s show and do it as you did in 1998: less guests but strong Divas as headliners.
It should have been Sheryl Crow and Toni Braxton as two of the headliners and Miley Cyrus as a presenter. So awfully done, VH1…

Cyndi she’s the best

Cyndi is def a DIVA! a legend.. Stevie, although a man can be considered a diva/legend as well. Miley.. uh not so sure she’s a diva yet. You should’ve asked Janet.

The list of scheduled performers is not a good look. It’s not that these women can’t sing, they just lack entertainment value in my opinion. I like a few of the listed performers, but I think I will pass on watching this show.

i really do hope that CYNDI LAUPER will be a head line performer on vh1 divas, it’s so much deserved with all the years of hard work and contributions she made to music and to pave the way for female artist. she is such a talent vocally,instrumentally and amazing stage presence. not too mention all her hard work fighting for gay rights, feeding the hungry, building homes right here in n.y for people with aids and hiv and lets not forget her annual true colors tour. cyn is true class and well deserving of the `+%@&)~)_)~@&%@ le DIVA.

It´s so great to have Cyndi on the show again! Actually none of the headliners - even so all of them are fine singers - is a real diva. But Cyndi definitely is a true diva of her very own kind.
Doing a duet with Leona Lewis seems to be special and is a nice idea for sure. So I am really looking forward to see Cyndi on the show!!!

The Diva’S show on 9/17 was very good. But I have to say that Miley Cirus has alot to learn. She definately over powered Cheryl Crowe. Even Celine Dion knew to not over shadow or try to out sing Barbara Streisand. It is called professional respect. Kelly Clarkson is fantastic but she does not look healthy at her present weight.

This was not a diva show, it was a concert. The only diva on the show was Paula. Not that I dont like the other performers, I do very much, except for Miley Cyrus, so NOT a diva. She is a poor role model for teenagers. I thought the show was pretty good, but the lineup in my opinion were not divas.
