DeleteMyAccount 11,881 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I just thought this would be a fun thread to make considering all of the emotions I've been having these past couple of days. If you don't know what VH1 Divas was, it was basically a charity concert that featured the best divas of it's time. The annual show back in 98' brought in talent such as Aretha, Whitney, Celine, Gloria, and Mariah (I wish I could've witnessed that). Other years would see other headlining artists such as Cher, Brandy, Faith Hill, and Diana Ross. The last show that happened was back in 2012 which featured Katy, Paramour, and Nicki. The show was really cool as it featured amazing vocalists (especially the first couple of years) that collaborated with each other for some show stopping performances. So basically I'm wondering who you would choose to perform at VH1 Divas Live 2017 if it were to come back. Lets choose artists that have released music within the last 5 years. For me I rely heavily on the vocalists and not completely on the diva aspect. The headliners I'd choose: Gaga Carrie Underwood Beyonce Adele Christina? Jennifer Hudson? Other appearances: P!nk Ariana Florence Kelly Clarkson I'm pretty mainstream when it comes to picking people haha. Any of these amazing women could headline, but I'm just picking out my top 4. Plus we need people to actually watch... So again, who would you choose? Any dream duets? Any dream covers that your pick would sing? Setlist? Honestly, I just want to see Carrie and Gaga perform together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReidOne 12,427 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Great topic!!! I was a huge fan of the original Divas Live (even bought the VHS tapes of it and they are still in my parents house buried in the back of the closet as we speak, lol). If they were to revive Divas Live for 2017, my lineup would be as follows: Lady Gaga Florence Welch Mariah Carey Beyonce Patti LaBelle Miley Cyrus Celine Dion Adele Aretha Franklin (OMG --- just noticed @ZacharyMark included Florence in your original post as well! Did not see that before I typed it!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was only for current artists who would you narrow it down to? They really do need to bring this back. Maybe for a Grammy special or something.

Currents only, I would narrow down to: Beyonce Lady Gaga Miley Cyrus Florence Kelly Clarkson Adele Sam Smith ...plus, still active legends: Dolly Parton Aretha Franklin ....if we can invite back retired legends, would also love to see Heart (Ann & Nancy Wilson) participate! They were made for this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
