  VH1 Divas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
VH1's Divas specials raise funds for the "VH1 Save The Music Foundation", a non-profit organization dedicated to restoring instrumental music programs in America's public schools and to raising awareness of the positive impact that music participation has on students.
VH1 Divas Live: An Honors Concert for VH1's Save the Music, aired live from New York City's Beacon Theatre on April 14th, 1998.
No official DVD or VHS was ever released of this concert as Diana Ross refused to give rights for it to be publsished due to the fact she thought she was not performing her best.

 Ape Culture - Review of VH1 Divas Live 1999
Divas are campy, Elton is a homosexual (gays just worship all things diva-esque), and he was both campy and diva-esque in his 70's heyday, therefore Elton is an honorary diva and a perfect fit (unlike his suit) for the show.
It remains to be seen if the Divas Live exposure will reignite her record sales for more than a short burst, but if it doesn't generate major impact in that respect, it won't be for lack of effort.
But for Divas Live she thoroughly reinterpreted the song, tailoring it to the evening's context by punctuating it--in diva-like fashion--with scatty interludes, dramatic pauses, and suitably stretched syllables.

 DVDFILE.COM: VH-1 Divas Live review
Soul, R&B, country, rock and pop music were all represented by the various divas, and the styles of the divas were as various as the music they performed.
Estefan had one of the liveliest performances of the divas and her short set was the most upbeat.
Sony has continued to do a good job with DVD on their video titles, and VH-1 Divas Live is as stunning to look at as Shania Twain.

 Ape Culture - Review of VH1 Divas Live 2001
Back when Divas were free to be, roaming wild and matched up inappropriately, yet uniquely, on a smorgasbord of variety shows.
This is the kind of promise the first Divas show ruined us with: Divas taken out of their normal habitats and put together to sing songs they would normally never sing.
But she can't pull dead diva weight all by herself or counter-balance an over-abundance of special guests forcing uneventful moments down our throats.

The first Divas concert will undoubtedly be heralded as the greatest for many years to come - not simply because it was the first, but because the artists deliver performances of a lifetime and every all tastes of diva-dom are catered for...
However, she is redeemed by a rousing version of Natural Woman in which all the Divas collaborate, and in which Aretha tames Celine's valiant attempts to steal the show.
If Divas are your thing, then Divas 98 is the CD you need to buy, and by "Divas", in the 98 show, we are talking real female VOCALISTS - those who can do spectacular things with their voice - something the other shows lacked.

For the starring quintet's fans, VH1 Divas Live is hard to disparage: Celine Dion, Gloria Estefan, Shania Twain, and Mariah Carey provide the requisite combination of beauty, high-ticket sartorial glamour, and stage drama, and their brief sets hew to their biggest hits.
The fifth featured diva, Aretha Franklin, has never achieved conventional glamour, but what she offers in vocal power and career prestige enables Lady Soul to cast a long shadow across the entire show, even when her actual performances are duets or ensembles.
And Carole King, also along for duets and ensemble spots, is even less to the diva manor born, a quintessential singer-songwriter even when draped in an elegant fl suit, but her longstanding credibility likewise translates to pole position here.

It was well-known that Franklin and Estefan could hold their own in a live setting, but Twain, Dion, and Carey also hold their own.
Perhaps it was inevitable that the disc emphasizes Carey, Estefan and Dion, since they all record for divisions of Sony, the corporation that owns Epic, but VH1 Divas Live doesn't sound like corporate greed or egos run amuck.
Ultimately, the match of the divas wasn't a monumental event, but there was plenty of good music that night, as VH1 Divas Live proves.

 Mariah Carey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although she had occasionally performed live, stage fright had prevented Carey from embarking on any major tours.
Her first widely-seen concert appearance was on the television show MTV Unplugged in 1992, and she said she felt that her performance proved her vocal abilities were not, as some had previously speculated, simulated using studio techniques.
One of Carey's most high-profile benefit concert appearances was on VH1's 1998 Divas Live special, where she performed alongside other female singers in support of the Save the Music Foundation.

Though not as stunning as the previous year's Divas Live, it's still an enjoyable concert from some of music's favourite performers.
She helps propel Mariah as the Diva that she is during Chain Of Fools in which the two preform side by side, respecting one and other and neither trying to upstage the other.

Anyone who doubts it could've tuned in VH1's "Divas Live '99," cablecast live from the Beacon Theater on Tuesday, when 10 big-mouthed singers seemed locked in a battle to see who could get away with the most.
From Tina Turner's leggy opening of "Simply the Best" to her snarky duet with Elton on "The Bitch is Back" to her face-off with Cher on "Proud Mary," the show seemed like a drag queen's dream come true.
But her vocals represented the worst aspects of the diva, providing the musical equivalent to an Olympic javelin throw.

Diana, Donna, and Gladys did not like being referred to as "Divas", while Patti felt disrespected by the producers when they asked her to appear as Brandy's guest.
The second installment in VH1's successful "Diva's Live" series featured Elton John, Tina Turner, Whitney Houston and Cher as the 'big name line-up' with special guests Brandy, Faith Hill, LeAnn Rimes and 'surprise guest' Chaka Khan performing individual sets in between to keep the ball rolling.
Unfortunately, with troubles plaguing the stage and production of this elaborate set-up, "VH1 DIVAS LIVE 1999" was more of a fizzler than anything.

And a diva does NOT mean a 16-year-old newcomer like Joss Stone, as great as a singer as she is. She is not a full blown star worthy enough to be called a diva.
To be a Diva, is "earned" and "learned" and none of those nobodies have "earned" or "learned" a damn thing.

And Shania Twain, transcending the lightweight pop of "You're Still the One," powers "Man! I Feel like a Woman" with all the force a diva must summon.
But the rest of these 14 performances fall flat, and worse.
And wouldn't you know that when the song finishes, the other divas shout, "All hail the queen of soul!" As if they were reading Franklin's epitaph.

 Divas Live '99
Aside from the fact that I still do not see why it can be Divas Live '99 when you have a male in the cast, I am afraid that Brandi and Mary Jane Bilge (err, sorry, Blige) hardly rate with Mariah Carey, let alone Aretha Franklin.
Whilst the talent on offer is simply not up to the standard of the original concert, at least the quality of the video transfer is. This is yet again a very good-looking concert video.
As indicated earlier, this is definitely the poor relation of the two Divas Live concerts and really this does not deserve much consideration at all in comparison.
