DVD Reviews of VH1 Divas Live
DVD Review: A Great Benefit To Support
Summary: 5 Stars
When funding for school music classes were being cut all over the country people kind of brushed it off as a non-necessity. Studies prooved that many kids prosper in other academic subjects when taking a music class. Art should be available for all kids in school as well as sports. This benefit concert brought awareness to that. Mariah, Celine, Gloria & Shania all appeard to support the cause. And of course Ms. Aretha Franklin. The performnaces were great. Carol King was brought out as a special guest of Celine Dion. The best part of the show was when the diva's sang You've Got A Friend and Natural Woman. This show sounds even better with the 5.1 sound. DVD Review: Unforgettable night... even 8 years later!
Summary: 5 Stars
This concert is amazing! It has everything:
- Great looking divas
- Great performances
- Shania Twain (she's the best in the concert for me)
and of course, appearances by Jennifer Aniston and Patricia Arquette
A MUST-BUY FOR EVERY DIVA FAN!

DVD Review: divas are forever
Summary: 5 Stars
i like the show. i bought the dvd and like it so much. i like all of them, mariah, gloria, shania, celine and carole but i kinda dont like aretha she just want to tell everybody that she has high voice but its irritating to hear. I like aretha's songs performed in the show like chain of fools and a natural woman but i dont like her as an artist. I dont know i just dont like black female singers who keeps on shouting when singing. I like the performance done by carole, celine, gloria and shania when they did you've got a friend its perfect and so nice to listen and watch for. if vh1 will do again a show like this pls include already those country singers who are so great as far as i can measure like reba, dolly, loretta, linda ronstadt, brenda lee, leann, faith and the dixie chicks, why are these people left behind when they are the best to showcase their talent?DVD Review: La Regina Del Soul
Summary: 4 Stars
I thought that this was a great way to start off a series of shows to save the music. But what most people don't know is that it was an unofficial tribute to Aretha Franklin, as noted by VH-1. And righfully so, Aretha is the original diva. her vocals aren't what they were, but she still delivers in a way that leave you breathless. She dominated the stage. All of the other ladies were good as well, but they lack the confidence that Aretha has, which i'm sure comes from a killer voice and also a lifetime of singing.
Description of VH1 Divas Live
Studio: Sony Music Release Date: 02/24/2004 Run time: 80 minutes Rating: NrOnce an appellation reserved for high-flying operatic stars, the diva has gone mainstream in recent decades, mirroring pop music's post-rock recovery of glitz, glamour, and theatrical hyperbole. Where once there was but a handful of pop divas, fans can now find a growing legion of contenders, a trend underscored by this 1998 cable special originally produced for VH1. The show's producers start with the title's high concept (five divas, one stage!), add an admirable if shrewd charity hook (the better to recruit platinum stars without prohibitive fees), and provide fans with an otherwise straightforward revue, interspersed with introductory cameos from film and television actresses.
For the starring quintet's fans, VH1 Divas Live is hard to disparage: Celine Dion, Gloria Estefan, Shania Twain, and Mariah Carey provide the requisite combination of beauty, high-ticket sartorial glamour, and stage drama, and their brief sets hew to their biggest hits. Beyond that common formula, these four do diverge somewhat, Dion and Carey most closely following the mannered tradition of the prima donna, Estefan (who, between songs, admits her bemusement at inclusion) offering an earthier and less calculated variant, and the nominally country-oriented Twain rounding out the headliners as a diva-in-the-making, perfectly packaged if vocally more modest.
Still, it's the show's "old timers" who remind us of what's too often missing from today's diva--the emotional largesse that fans crave, and an underlying sense of true worldliness. The fifth featured diva, Aretha Franklin, has never achieved conventional glamour, but what she offers in vocal power and career prestige enables Lady Soul to cast a long shadow across the entire show, even when her actual performances are duets or ensembles. And Carole King, also along for duets and ensemble spots, is even less to the diva manor born, a quintessential singer-songwriter even when draped in an elegant black suit, but her longstanding credibility likewise translates to pole position here. --Sam Sutherland
