THERE ARE FEW SINGERS WITH THE RANGE, POWER, TALENT AND CHUTZPAH WHO HAVE EARNED THE RIGHT TO BE CALLED DIVAS - AND NO I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT STREISAND OR ALICIA KEYS. HERE ARE A FEW TRACKS FROM SOME OF THE BEST TO EVER STAND IN FRONT OF A MICROPHONE.MARIAH CAREY is truly one of a kind. With a voice from up above and a ten octave range, she redefined what the term DIVA really means, particularly among pop singers. In my humble opinion, this is the greatest rendition of OH HOLY NIGHT ever recorded.
Canadian CELINE DION is right there with the greats of contemporary singers. With a smooth, effortless delivery, every time she sings you just gotta stop what your doing and listen. Accompanied by impresario David Foster, her version of CHESTNUTS is smooth and powerful all at the same time.
Legendary producer, music executive and mentor to some of pop and rock's greatest talents, Clive Davis, signed the incomparable WHITNEY HOUSTON when she was only nineteen. Though her life was tragically cut short at forty eight, we have recordings that will ensure that one of the true legends of popular music will always be with us. With The Georgia Mass Choir behind her, Whitney does JOY TO THE WORLD like no one else
And last - We have a relative newcomer to the CERTIFIED DIVA category. With ridiculous vocal chops, JENNIFER HUDSON lays down some serious gospel funk in this medley of CHRISTMAS STANDARDS. Man, this girl can sang!!
