VH1 Divas

March 15, 2023

VH1 debuted the first annual VH1 Divas concert in 1998. VH1 Divas Live was created to support the channel's Save The Music Foundation and subsequent concerts in the series have also benefited that foundation. The VH1 Divas concerts aired annually from 1998 to 2004. After a five-year hiatus, the series returned in 2009 with a younger-skewed revamp. In 2010 the concert saluted the troops and in 2011 it celebrated soul music, doubling the previous year's ratings. After a dance music-focused 2012 edition aired live from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on December 16, 2012, the show took another hiatus before being revived on December 5, 2016, at the Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, New York with a holiday theme and achieved its highest ratings in over a decade.[1]

VH1 Divas 2000: A Tribute to Diana Ross

VH1 Divas 2000: A Tribute to Diana Ross – An Honors Concert for the VH1 Save the Music Foundation was the first of three concerts in the series not aired live. It was recorded on April 9, 2000 at New York's Madison Square Garden and first aired on April 11, 2000. Diana Ross requested the concert be recorded as time constraints for the airing of commercials would not allow enough time for her to change costumes. The well-received show took a mammoth 6 hours to record. This special also marked the re-introduction of Lynda Laurence and Scherrie Payne as Supremes, who were touring with Diana Ross. Laurence and Payne were Supremes during the 1970s.

The concert was never released on CD or DVD. Two of the songs were released as b-sides of singles from Mariah Carey and Destiny's Child.

Summary

Diana Ross knows how to feel the love in the room, which may explain why she frequently abandoned the stage to wander among the audience in the midst of her own tribute at Madison Square Garden. Ross still commanded plenty of star wattage. In their own singular ways, Mariah Carey, Donna Summer, Destiny's Child, Faith Hill and even RuPaul all hailed the Supremest Supreme. Ross sported a spangled outfit that matched Mariah Carey's own during their performance of "Baby Love." Donna Summer covered "Reflections" and Faith Hill bounced through "Love Child". Destiny's Child took on "Upside Down," accompanied by composer Nile Rodgers on guitar. But it was up to Ross to provide the biggest shock of all – a wild reunion with latter-day Supremes Linda Laurence and Scherrie Payne to perform "You Keep Me Hanging On" and "Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart."

VH1 Divas Live: The One And Only Aretha Franklin

Summary

This all-star tribute to Aretha Franklin at New York's Radio City Music Hall gave props to a woman who has been at the center of American music since arriving on the scene in the mid '60s. Franklin easily adapted herself to a variety of guests, crooning with the Backstreet Boys on "Chain of Fools," matching wails with Mary J. Blige on "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man," and letting Kid Rock storm her barn on "Rock Steady." She even joined a jazz ensemble led by Herbie Hancock for a little scat. Marc Anthony and Celia Cruz saluted the First Lady of Soul with salsa. Neo-soul up-and-comer Jill Scott made "A Natural Woman" feel like the real thing, and the New Jersey Mass Choir accompanied Franklin's assault on the hymn "Precious Memories." Janet Jackson, Sigourney Weaver, Renée Zellweger, Stevie Wonder and the Sopranos cast were among those looking on in awe.

The event occurred on April 10, 2001, and was released on CD/DVD in 2017 by MVD Visual.

VH1 Divas Las Vegas: An Honors Concert For The VH1 Save The Music Foundation aired live from the MGM Grand Las Vegas on May 23, 2002. For the first time, Divas Live broadcast from a city other than New York. This time around, Las Vegas played host city to the fifth Divas concert.

After being invited by Whitney Houston in 1999, an appearance that gave her big publicity worldwide, Mary J. Blige asked her friend to join her on Divas three years later to perform together her song "Rainy Dayz".

A CD/DVD of the concert was released later that year, but not all the performances or performers (most notably those of co-headliner Mary J. Blige) were included, due to various record label issues.

The show marks the first appearance of close friends and R&B and soul legends Patti LaBelle (who was told by producers she would be considered "top dog" [16]) and Gladys Knight after they had turned down previous offers to appear. Gladys could never stay for the finale due to obligations with her one-woman show at the famed Flamingo Las Vegas. Kylie Minogue was originally confirmed as a headliner for the 1980s themed show, but withdrew shortly after.

Aside from the normal set of presenters, the concert also featured video testimonials from Chaka Khan, Carly Simon, Gloria Estefan, Mary J. Blige, Vanessa Williams, Alicia Keys, Pharrell Williams, Kathy Griffin (in what would prove to be the first of three consecutive appearances), Marg Helgenberger and Usher on the word "diva", their favorite divas, as well as the importance of music education in schools.

The concert was never released on CD or DVD.

Legacy and impact

Saturday Night Live performers Ana Gasteyer, Molly Shannon and Cheri Oteri frequently spoofed Dion, Twain and Carey, most memorably in the opening moments of Divas '99 where they portrayed the songstresses attempting to order a pizza before watching the concert. On February 10, 2001, Jennifer Lopez starred in an SNL skit where she battled Mango onstage at VH1 Divas, with Tracy Morgan as Franklin, Maya Rudolph as Diana Ross, and Gasteyer and Shannon both reprising their impressions of Dion and Twain respectively.

Many of the featured performers are satirized as characters on the popular web parody Got 2B Real.[28]

On season 3 of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, the second challenge of the season was a Divas parody. Aja portrayed Amy Winehouse, BeBe Zahara Benet was Diana Ross, BenDeLaCreme was Julie Andrews, Chi Chi DeVayne was Patti LaBelle, Kennedy Davenport played as Janet Jackson, Milk acted as Celine Dion, Shangela was Mariah Carey, Thorgy Thor impersonated Stevie Nicks and Trixie Mattel played as Dolly Parton. Shangela and BenDeLaCreme won the challenge.

Other networks attempted to replicate the success of the Divas concerts with varying degrees of success. The year after the original Divas, BET premiered Girls Nite Out, hosted by Rachel and Joe Clair. The featured performers were Arista labelmates Deborah Cox, Faith Evans, Andrea Martin, Monica, and Shanice.[29] Lifetime hosted Women Rock! Girls & Guitars annually from 2000 to 2004, eventually shortened to simply Women Rock! and raising awareness for their campaign "Our Lifetime Commitment: Stop Breast Cancer for Life."[30] Performers over the years included Anastacia, Blondie, Kelly Clarkson, Destiny's Child, En Vogue, Melissa Etheridge, Cyndi Lauper, and Lee Ann Womack.

series not aired live It was recorded on April 9 2000 at New York s Madison Square Garden and first aired on April 11 2000 Diana Ross requested the concert be recorded as time constraints for the airing of commercials would not allow enough time for her to change costumes The well received show took a mammoth 6 hours to record This special also marked the re introduction of Lynda Laurence and Scherrie Payne as Supremes who were touring with Diana Ross Laurence and Payne were Supremes during the 1970s The concert was never released on CD or DVD Two of the songs were released as b sides of singles from Mariah Carey and Destiny s Child Summary Edit Diana Ross knows how to feel the love in the room which may explain why she frequently abandoned the stage to wander among the audience in the midst of her own tribute at Madison Square Garden Ross still commanded plenty of star wattage In their own singular ways Mariah Carey Donna Summer Destiny s Child Faith Hill and even RuPaul all hailed the Supremest Supreme Ross sported a spangled outfit that matched Mariah Carey s own during their performance of Baby Love Donna Summer covered Reflections and Faith Hill bounced through Love Child Destiny s Child took on Upside Down accompanied by composer Nile Rodgers on guitar But it was up to Ross to provide the biggest shock of all a wild reunion with latter day Supremes Linda Laurence and Scherrie Payne to perform You Keep Me Hanging On and Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart Headliners Edit Diana Ross Mariah Carey Donna Summer Faith HillGuest performers Edit Scherrie
