VH1 Divas Show Returns in September! Tell Us Who You’d Like To See! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

MonarC · 04-22-2009, 01:03 PM

Pop, R&B, and hip-hop are known for their strong female artists, women who have made an impact on both a musical and cultural level. Those kinds of singers abound right now, so it’s a perfect time for VH1 to revitalize its respected Divas show. The 2009 edition of the multi-artist presentation takes place at a perfect venue, the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Howard Gilman Opera House, on September 17. VH1 will air the show live. A new generation of participants will be on board, and performers, presenters, and special guests will be announced as they are confirmed.

The list of artists who have previously performed is tremendous. From Aretha Franklin to Debbie Harry to Joss Stone to Mariah Carey, an array of generations and perspectives has been presented. This year’s scope promises to just as wide. Producers have their eyes on strong women whose songs have brought joy, optimism and empowerment into the lives of listeners.
Further, they’d love for listeners to weigh in on who would make a great Divas participant. What does the term “diva” mean to you in 2009? Someone heroic? Someone inspiring? Hit the comments field and lets us know. We’re also open to suggestions: feel free to make a list of the artists you’d like to see perform on the show, as well as cast your opinion on which two singers would make a perfect “Diva Duet.”

Thanks for all this. Your participation will make this year’s edition of Divas that much more fun. Stay tuned for more information on the show. We’ll be posting it here in the blog.

YES - Ronnie definitely has to be in there. Darlene Love is one of the great underrated singers of her era. How about Lulu?

Me too!! I actually went to Dollywood as a kid. One of my mom's friends lived in Tennessee at the time, so we drove down and stayed with the lady and her husband. One of the days we were there, we visited Pigeon Forge and Dolly's theme park. I still remember all her music piped in at the park, and to this day every time I hear "Islands in the Stream" or "9 To 5" I think of that trip.
