Kelly Clarkson performs at the 2012 American Music Awards.

When the 2012 Vh1 Divas: Diva Dance Party show was first announced, supporters of the once respected franchise were disgusted by the initial list of performers. However, a glimmer of hope shined through the nonsense today when Kelly Clarkson and Melanie Fiona were added to the lineup.

Clarkson and Fiona will join Ciara, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Kelly Rowland and Jordin Sparks at the Vh1 Divas ceremony, which will air live on December 16th at 9pm ET. Also expected to appear as a guest act is Pitbull with his abnormally tight pants and signature black shades.

This year’s Vh1 Divas will honor the legacy of Dance music, and pay homage to past performers Whitney Houston and Donna Summer, who passed away during the last year. Other entertainers will be announced during the coming weeks.
