VH1 have finally decided to revive their Diva extravaganza and our very own Leona Lewis is set to perform on the show.

The last Diva show aired in 2004 and my personal favourite was 1998 (see the wondrous clip above) which featured Mariah Carey, Shania Twain, Celine Dion, Gloria Estefan, Aretha Franklin and Carole King. The new reincarnation will star , Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis, and Miley Cyrus, with more singers to be announced closer to the time.

Personally I am unsure whether or not some of these singers have earned ‘Diva’ status. Take Adele for example. I am a big fan and I LOVED ‘Chasing Pavements’ but I don’t think she is yet recognised worldwide and I so don’t see her as a diva. Maybe in 20 years time, but not yet.

I am hoping that VH1 manage to rope in some of the big time diva’s and bag return performances from Mariah and Gloria, I would also pee my pants if Whitney made a comeback. The music world has sorely missed her very own style of power ballads. Also amazing would be Tina Turner and possibly Diana Ross. Anyone else have a star you’d like to add to my wishlist?
