So last night, VH1 brought back one of their highest rated show’s, Divas Live. After a 4-year hiatus, I thought they would be smart enough to bring such a great show back with a bang. I was wrong. Bang, shot dead is more like it. This was probably the worst divas show of them all. First of I didn’t like the whole idea of having “divas in training”. I didn’t like that they each only sang one song. They didn’t even come out to sing a closing number. VH1 what in the hell is wrong with you? Not only that, but it seemed as if all the divas were holding back, and not bringing it. I was so bored that I was sitting there hoping Kanye West or Lil’ Mama would come in and crash the party! Speaking of party, Miley Cyrus? Really VH1? Come on now. Although, I must say she looked great and even sounded good during her duet with Sheryl Crow, on her hit “If It Makes You Happy”. The highlight of the night by far, was the duet between Jennifer Hudson and Stevie Wonder. They were sangggging! Other notables included: Paula Abdul’s hilarious mockery of Ellen Degeneres. India Irie and Adele’s duet. And Jordin Sparks’ sassy “S.O.S” performance, which had the best entrance of the night. I surely hope if VH1 is planning on doing this show next year, they sit down and really think things through. Get some real divas and stick to the old formula. Peep photos & video below.
