Gimme Diva

In no particular order...

Madonna
Cher
Tina
Janet
Patti (both La Belle and LuPone)
Dolly
Reba
Melissa
Aretha
Celine
Gloria

A true diva only needs a one name introduction. Any more and she's not a true diva...

Gimme DEVO.

These are all great female performers, but are they divas? I thought divas had to be impossibly difficult and demanding and throw hissy fits and just generally act like bitches. And then go out on stage and knock your socks off, of course.

So with that in mind, how about:

Diana Ross
Barbra Streisand
Martha Stewart (domestic diva)
Roseanne
Kathleen Battle
Marlene Dietrich
Mariah Carey
Jessye Norman
and others who have the attitude but not the talent, like J. Lo, Cybill Shepherd, etc.

And you just know in your heart, that Hillary is on that list.

I almost put Kathleen Battle down on my list. I had the chance to see he performr twice in solo appearances with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

And then began the stories of her behaviour towards her colleages, the opera companies and even her own staff. Never have I seen an artist self distruct in so many ways and being so un-willing to admit somthing was seriously wrong with her attitude and behaviour. Where were the people around her, who should have taken control of this horrific situation? The final staw was when I heard that serveral artists had refused roles in operas she was to appear in. Talk about an ego getting out of control and a career lost. I shall never understand it.

I've heard her once in a solo recital with piano. I'll never forget it, one of the greatest singers I ever heard. So much intelligence in every note. Opera singers aren't always great recitalists, but she certainly was.

A friend of mine was at the Brevard Music Festival when she underwent a near total meltdown onstage. It must have been very painful to experience that so publicly.

I think in her case it goes beyond misbehavior to a deep-rooted insecurity. I think frankly it has a lot to do with being an African-American artist in a mostly white milieu. That and having an exquisitely refined nervous system that just can't shut down.
 
sorry guys

im looking for clips of the opera divas, but they are hard to come by

still looking !!!
 
Thanks Slobone !!!

You rock !!
 
I just thinking today about an artist whom I have always admired, but does not seem to be very well known these days. Valida Snow. She was a jazz trumpeter, singer, and musical savant. She led her own band and worked with some of the greatest names in jazz.
