VH1 DIVAS

Today I saw a commercial for VH1 DIVAS 2009 that will premier on September 17, 2009. VH1 DIVAS, originally airing anually from 1998-2004, was created to raise money for Save the Music (I wonder if VH1 heard my request for a return of Save the Music!?!). After a five year hiatus, the series will return to feature 8 top female performers. It seems as though this time around, all of the performers are in their youth or early adulthood. Granted only 6 artists have been confirmed: Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis, Adele, Miley Cyrus, Jordin Sparks, and Jennifer Hudson, but the remaining two better be veterans for this to be a “divas” show! And by veteran I mean the artist better have had at least 3 albums, 5 top 10 hits, and a number one single! That’s the definition of a veteran! We’ll see if VH1 passes my test for the remaining DIVAS – I doubt it, but it’s still nice to have a taste of the old VH1 back instead of all the whack, non-entertaining, low quality shows they feature during their normal programming hours! VH1 DIVAS is a start, but the channel has a long way to go…
