Well, this issue have been discussed by so many fans to support/choose the greatest Diva of all. Thus, before we jump into a conclusion, we must know each of Diva very well.

*Attitude

*Talent

*Performance

*Hits

Attitude

Attitude is always THE main priority of being a great Diva. Take a look at Celine when she was  on Oprah. She was so humble and always makes people want to hear more from her. While as for Whitney, she is caring and the way she talks really shows off her maturity.Nevertheless, as for  Mariah, she is really down to earth, and she loves to get down to jokes and that is really sweets consider she is a DIVA. Tones of people say being a Diva is arrogant, BITCH and demanding and lot of other bad things. Actually, if they really are like that, could they be bigger than the music itself? Yup, as some of them demanded white roses ,100 kittens to entertain her and all. But one thing is, they’ve been working  their Ass of to produce their music, touring, performing, charity and of cause balancing their career and maintain their influence and popularity..So I guess, they deserve THAT.

Talent

Diva without talent? Pfftt... forget it! Can’t you hear  Celine,Whitney and Mariah voices? Thay are gifted and God given. No wonder fans are hard to choose the greatest above all. Celine, eventhough *almost 90%  of people commented , too nasal.. But don’t you think that makes her recognizable? Whitney, powerful mid belting. It is really pleasant to hear her voice. It is really crystal clear. Oh.. Mariah? People commented‘’She can’t sing.. I can whisper too’’.. ‘’She screaming, LOL!’’.. But can those people do like what she did? I’ve seen tons of Mariah wannabe and none of them come even close to Ms. Carey..

Performance

Wow factor!! That makes their show sold out! Celine World Tour, Vegas! Whitney’s The Bodyguard Tour, Mariah’s The Adventures of Mimi.. They are Divalicious!! Their shows is about power, emotional , improvisation, vocal run and performance. It is really worth to see the DIVAS.. Celine performs well in each of her live show. No wonder her Grammy Performance ‘’My heart will go on’’ ranked 2^nd  on Greatest Grammy Moments. Whitney, did  you see her performance on X-Factor recently, her dress incident and all, despite that ,she kept on giving her best to fill the whole show. Phew, Mariah, her Grammy Performance of We Belong Together/ Fly Like A Bird got standing ovations (the one and only that night) and really saved the night! Her angelic voice what makes her famous.

Hits

Without Hits, people don’t even recognise them.. Have you heard The Power of Love, Saving All My Love For You, Vision of Love.. These hits make them recognizable. These put them further in the music industry. Mariah has 18 No.1 Hits in on Billboard Hot 100 and still selling.. She is the solo artist with the most No.1 in History.

*Thus, by knowing all the Divas of the Vocal Trinity, soon we can make a further evaluation on each DIVA and I hope you can (make up your mind) and be a great fans............To Be CONTINUE
