  • Today's so called "divas" are more or less just for kids/teens and don't appeal well to adults. It's sad after a good 70-year run. Jazz divas of the 1920s-1940s really pushed black women for more acceptance to whites, then the R&B/Soul divas of the 1950s-1970s really expressed lots of emotion. The "power ballad era" of the 1980s and 1990s turned out to be the "last hurrah" for divas.

  • the best one out of this tribute is nancy wilson and all of u no it

  • RIP EARTHA!

  • Love ya Aretha

  • There is so much dignity in the way you paid tribute to these beautiful artists - each making the door just that bit wider for others to enter into the poetic space of song, dance and artistry.
