Rating: Summary: Celine, Gloria, Aretha, Shania, Carey: A great performance Review: Divas Live is was great. This is the best because this is the original. The top stars Celine, Gloria, Arethe, Shania, Carey along with special guest Carole King were execelent. But Aretha stole the show when she performed with the other divas her classic "A Natural Woman"
Rating: Summary: ITS THE SHOWDOWN OF THE BEST SINGERS! BUT ONE RUINS IT! Review: From the start I really wanted to see whos who(Mariah or Celine) well, watch the divas as they perform "A Natural Woman" youll see that Mariah gets the high notes so natural, while Celine shouts just to reach the notes! And Mariah sings her part very different of all the divas. It's the "Princess of Soul" singing with her "Queen" a powerful combination!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: Only One "Diva" On That Stage: Aretha Franklin Review: I agree with most of the professional music writers that Aretha Franklin was the ONLY true "diva" on that stage at the Beacon Theatre.The other women were diva-wanna-bes and ALL seemed intimidated by the undisputed Queen of Soul. They had reason to be a little afraid, Franklin took command of the stage and the show! I wish she had sung a couple of alternative songs, but she knew she could take it easy with this group. If Franklin had to deal with Patti LaBelle, Natalie Cole and Bettye LaVette, you would have seen SOME show! When she decided she'd had enough, she left her co-stars behind, fighting to wave away the dust. During "A Natural Woman," it became The Aretha Franklin Show, with Sister Ree dominating the proceedings (with Celine Dion trying desperately to stay afloat). She drowned. Aretha went into a surprise gospel number ("Testimony") which none of the other singers knew. They dutifully transformed into background dancers and handclappers as Franklin sailed forward. All in all, I enjoyed the show, but calling Shania, Mariah, Gloria and Celine "divas" just makes a joke of that word.
Rating: Summary: Hey there a compilation of five of the best singers. Review: I first watched the VH1 Divas Live special on VH1 when it came out on cable tv about a year ago. I have to admit that I was pretty pleased because Celine Dion,Shania Twain, Gloria Estefan, Mariah Carey, and Aretha Franklin(the queen of soul) were on it. Celine is my most favorite singer because she has a magnificent voice. I love listening to her sing and on this video you can catch her singing the World-famous song "My heart will go on."
Rating: Summary: Céline IS and will always be a Diva!!!!! Review: I liked this DVD from the minute it started, but I particularly LOVED it when Céline took the stage, she was GREAT!!! And not talking about her duet with Carole King (another great singer). I also loved Céline, Gloria and Shania singing along with Carole "You've got a friend", it was absolutely wonderful. And the end, GOD!!! THE END!!!! When all the divas sing "A Natural Woman" and Aretha and Céline sing "Testimony", was absolutely incredible!!! About what some of you said, that Céline ruined the show and that she isn't a diva, COME ON PEOPLE!!!! GIVE HER A BREAK!!!! She DIDN'T ruined the show, no one did!! All of them were GREAT!!! (specially Céline and Aretha) Oh! and please don't say that Céline was trying too hard to reach the high notes, 'cause she WASN'T. I think that Mariah has lost her voice a little bit, 'cause SHE was the one trying too hard to reach the high notes, although she sounded good too, I mean not as good as I expected but good anyway, everyone did. Anyway... GREAT show, GREAT DVD, GREAT singers, all the Divas in one stage, absolutely WONDERFUL!!!!

Rating: Summary: Anythin with a duet by Mariah and Aretha is worth it! 1 Review: I love this video. It was fantastic. Good performances given by Celine Dion , Shania Twain, Gloria Estefen BUT my hat goes off to Mariah and Aretha. Seeing the two do a duet was breath-taking. Mariah the greatest voice of today ( and ever) and Aretha the Queen of Soul was perfect. Mariah Carey is one reason alone to buy the video. If you aren't the biggest fansof these ladies you will be after watching this video. I luv you Mariah!
Rating: Summary: Only one fifth of this DVD is great. Review: I only enjoyed one fifth of this DVD. Shania Twain is the best, the greatest! She got some nice pants on. 5 stars for Shania, 1 star each for the rest. The DVD gets 2 stars.
Rating: Summary: CELINE ROCKS! Review: I saw this special VH1 and I have to say, Celine is the best! Mariah Carey is great too and so is Shania, to each their own style. Obviously, Celine - for far the best- and Mariah -used to be better with her older material - have the most incredible singing voices in this much needed music industry. I have to say, buy this CD for Celine and Mariah, the others are compliment them and make for a good show.
Rating: Summary: I HATE CELINE Review: I think that Celine Dion screams at the top of her lungs just so she can be heard over everyone in Natural Woman. Otherwise this DVD and CD are good Mariah Carey is the bestest singer in the world and is the only one that acted, dressed like a "diva". Buy it for Mariah not Celine.
