-Merriam Webster

The word "diva" was established in the Latin culture in 1883, although the etymology of the term has taken on a separate meaning it has come to define almost every sensational, successful and powerful woman in the music industry.

They have demanded the most outlandish things, thrown the brattiest of temper tantrums, have entourages the size of most Fortune 500 companies and yet, still sell millions and millions of albums. Besides their precociousness to disassociate from one another, they all have two BIG things in common: Money and Talent.

This is great... but if Christina's on here.. shouldn't Britney
be? I mean, honestly she's had far more hit songs than her. I
don't even know how many.. but a lot. So yeah.. her and Tina
Turner are missing.
i am a big diva. i have learned so much in being a diva.
What about Tina Turner? I love Tina! But out of these Cher is my
favorite and she is absolutely gorgeous.
mariah carey had more number 1 hit singles then anyone else on
this list?
Janet by far is the best artist, she i would say mariah and
madonna are the biggest divas. Janets new album is amazing!
Janet Jackson is more of a diva than anyone else on this
list...her demands are stupid. At least Whitney and Maddonna and
Mariah requested stuff that helps the voice, aside from stuff that
makes them happy backstage.
I can relate to this i am a diva in training and it is hard and i
have learnrd so much were diva came from
