Top Ten All Time Divas
created by mr.reed
Originally used to describe a female opera singer, the term "diva" was redefined to refer to any female singer of superior talent.
Today, the diva moniker has evolved even further and made a partial return to its original latin roots when divus was the word for "divine one". The modern musical diva can be arrogant, difficult to work with, high-maintenance, or demanding. In essence, the modern diva sometimes acts like she believes herself to be almost divine and above it all.
This list is for female artists who have ascended to diva status, at least in their own minds. Don't agree with the list? Place your vote or if you are a logged in, add a new item for others to vote on.
