I have been away from television for a while. Let’s just say that when the government, or whoever it was, says that tv is going digital and you have to get a special box and a special antenna, it would behoove you to not call their bluff.
So I was watching tv with my dad the other day, and a commercial about Paula Abdul hosting the VH1 Divas Live came on. “Ooooh, divas live,” I thought, until they listed them.
Adele
Kelly Clarkson
Jordin Sparks
Leona Lewis
Miley Cirus
Hmmm….Miley Cirus? Is Hannah Montana really a diva? Are any of them divas? Leona Lewis has that one good song, "I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding. You cut me open." I do actually really enjoy that song. LOL. For those of you who think I’m being harsh on them, look at the divas from 1998.
Mariah Carey
Gloria Estefan
Shania Twain
Aretha Franklin
Celine Dion
Carole King
Now tell me something hasn’t been lost in translation. You don’t go from Aretha to Kelly Clarkson! The reason that VH1 puts on the concert is for the “Save the Music Foundation”. I think that we all agree that it is a very worthy cause, but it is more than obvious that their target audience has changed.

Edrei, quite frankly, I don't think you are harsh enough. I mean seriously...Miley Cyrus? Okay fine; my five year old niece is a diva too for starting kindergarten. While we are at it, my dog is a diva because she barks at intruders. True talent I tell you.
ReplyDeleteI think that there ought to be certain requirements for the title of diva. Better yet, let's define the word so there are no future discrepancies.

Hey, I like Kelly Clarkson. Her songs are much less likely to cause me suicidal thoughts, like that awful whiny Leona Lewis. BLEH!
ReplyDeletemmmm.... divas? nope. sorry. BUT Adele kicks some serious ass with those vocal chords of hers. ;)
