Divas Live 04

Janet · #1 03-29-2004, 03:51 AM

Cyndi Lauper, Deborah Harry, Joss Stone, Kylie Minogue, Patti Labelle, Gladys Knight, Jessica Simpson.

Interesting mix. I like Kylie. I am excited about Deborah Harry but confused as to WHY she would do this...

Jessica Simpson can sing I guess, and Joss Stone seems interesting ( I have only heard one song I'm not crazy about but SHE herself has an interesting voice)

The rest are yawn, typical diva fare.

I'm interested to hear Cyndi. She has the most AMAZING voice. I would listen to her sing the alphabet. I don't know if any of you saw this, but a few years ago there was a tribute concert to Joni Mitchell, I think it was on A&E or Bravo or something. Anyway, Cyndi sang "Carey" from Joni's "Blue" album. I thought I was going to burst into tears!! She completely made that song her own, and delivered it with so much passion and soul. We're talking heavy pathos here people.

I've been a huge fan of Cyndi's from then on.

Cyndi AND Debbie?! OMG, it's going to be FANTASTIC!!!

Cyndi has some of the best pipes in the world. That girl could outsing Whitney AND Hoochie Aguilera. And Debbie just rocks. I hope she sings Maria.

OMG - I LOVE CL. Interestingly, when she opened for Cher here awhile back, she literally came out into the audience BAREFOOT and sang. She went up the aisle and behind the first section of the ampitheatre. The people in the back were in awe. THEN - she literally stopped for just a second at the hanicap section where I was as my handicap friend's escort and kind of looked at my handicap friend and the other handicap people aroundus and sang a little. It was so great for her to make that effort. I almost cried. I mean my friend can walk but it is difficult for her. But some of the people there were very bad off in that all they could move was their head. So, CL is the kindest person in the world for doing that kind deed IMO. What a true lady! I am getting teary eyed even typing this

As for DH - Maria is one of my fav.'s ever from them!!!!!

That's such a sweet story.

Cyndi always struck me as a warm and genuine person. I saw her last summer when she opened for Cher and she danced around in the aisles and sang and sat right on the edge of the stage and sang; it seemed like she really enjoyed being there and singing to everyone. But what she did at your show was amazing; such a great person.

Have you heard her last album? It's fantastic. And I finally found her EP "Shine" last week and I'm in love with that f*cking song. It's gorgeous.

AND - The new Blondie album comes out April 6, finally!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you like Blondie, check it out because I think it's one of their best, if not the best. And trust me, I didn't think anything could compare to Parallel Lines and Autoamerican.

I like CL's new disc. But, my fav. will always be "Hat Full of Stars," esp. "Sally's Pidgeons" (sighs) - and that is saying alot because I LOVE all of her stuff.

I will def, check out the new Blondie CD. I love them

tommer · #7 03-29-2004, 11:19 AM

oh my... they are actually on their way to a REAL divas line up, they just made it half way.
i love kylie, cyndi and of course debbie harry who's obviously about to steal the show completely, and whom i'm extremly happy to see there, coz she never seem to get any of the honors and respect she now deserves in my opinion.
i'm also pleased to see patti labelle and gladys knight there (although both not my personal favorites) but if jessica simpson's a diva, then i'm a diva as well

which brings me to the question: who the hell is Joss Stone? is she some kind of country crap that i'm not even supposed to know about, or am out of touch with stuff?

Tommer sent me the single mix for "Good Boys" last summer, let me know if you want me to send it to you to listen to.

And the track "Undone" is AMAZING.

Thanks for the link!!!!!!

Also, did I mention I think Gladys Knight has one of the best voices I have ever heard in my entire life. I love her!!!!!!!!!!! AND - she is well regarded in the Atlanta community as a very nice person. I have met her and can say without a doubt she is.

She supposedly a white "soul" singer and she sucks. Terrible voice and very grating. I don't think she's ever heard the word "pitch".

Look forward to her & Cyndi.

I love Cyndi and Deborah, but the rest I can just take or leave. VH1 ticks me off with this every year.....Jessica Simpson? Diva? Pffffft. And Stevie was a "special guest." Pffffft.

Edit: Oops, missed Gladys Knight. She's cool.

greatdarkwing · #13 03-29-2004, 02:36 PM

BTW, Usher is supposed to make a guest appearance

Sad....but hopefully this means he will help out Debbie on "Rapture", my all-time fav. Blondie song ever!!! (am i the only one who knows every word to this and "we didnt start the fire"?) LOL

Debbie don't need no help on "Rapture", doll.

Usher would just f*ck it up...badly.

OBVIOUSLY NOT! LOL

But when I saw her this past January, she had a rapper come out at the end and help her out...Frankly, this part sucked, but at least we got to hear Rapture
