The term "diva" is thrown around sooooo loosely now. Remember when it used to mean something?
I remember one year they had Shania Twain and Shakira. Whodaheyell said those two were divas? And Brandy---how did she make it to divas status? And Gloria Estefan a diva?!?
To ME----divas have talent...divas has staying power...divas have been through some STUFF and can still come out on the other side.
Chaka Khan.....Diva yes
Jessica Simpson....diva no
Patti LaBelle....Diva yes
Brandy....diva no
pre-crack Whitney....Diva yes
Shakira....diva no
