Why do we love the divas that we love? Is it their struggle, grit, smooth air or fierce attitude?
Whatever the reason, our divas carry us through tough times before coming out, all around man troubles and beyond life's surprises. They bring us laughter and joy just when we need reminding that life's troubles can be taken to the runway, the highway, or in Angela Bassett's case, to a can of kerosene.

My favorite Diva is Cher, she as truly earned the respect of many through hard work and determination. She inspires me in ways that I can't explain.
ReplyDeleteShe has taught me that one can love again and again.
She has taught me through her music that life goes on and changes are going to come.
She has taught me that one is never to old and that age is just that a number.
Cher has over come dyslexia, bad relationships, career set backs and family problems, she has been able to bounce back and stay on top. A true Diva.
I have a lot of favorite divas but my number one is Madonna. I love how she constantly changes her image and isn't afraid to be larger than life and express her opinions.
ReplyDeleteI'm inspired by her work ethic and willingness to challenge ideas about sexuality, religion and gender, which was extremely helpful for me when I was coming out. Her music always gives me this sense of freedom and joy, a desire to both examine and enjoy life.
In short Madonna has influenced how I see the world and myself. I love her!
Most living organisms know that I live for Beyonce ENTIRELY (I really do, lol). However, when it comes to Beyonce--for me--it is all about the: larger than life persona, the vocals (easily one of the best singers EVER), the stage show, the videos, and the positive message in ALL of her songs. Yes, chile I love me some Beyonce. She is my diva of now.
ReplyDeleteBut If we are talking divas, in the truest sense, that inspire us...
For me it is all about Tina Turner. It has been since the 6th grade! (lol)
I've been closeted about my Tina Turner love because every time I talk about her I literally tear up. I admire her so much.
True she is a rock GODDESS; however, it is her personal story that inspires me. She is such an influence on me, seriously.
Most of my favorite artists (especially Beyonce)are female...But Tina is the one who truly is queen of my heart (aside from my mother).
I'm going to blog about her.
CHET - CHER HUH? I COULD SEE GOING AS HER ON HALLOWEEN!
ReplyDeleteKEVIN - MADONNA IS VERY INSPIRING!
ReplyDeleteMR. TODDY - WHEN I POSTED THIS, I SAID THAT IF ONE PERSON RESPONDED TO THE ENTRY IT WOULD BE YOU WITH YOUR LOVE FOR BEYONCE! LMFAO!
