Ciara, Kelly Rowland & Others To Perform At 2012 Vh1 Divas

When it was first announced that the 2012 Vh1 Divas show would honor the legacy Whitney Houston, excitement erupted as music fans from across the web nominated their favourite artists to perform at the show. However, their cries fell on deaf ears as the producers have selected a group of dreadfully lackluster acts.

Set to air live on December 16th at 9pm ET, Vh1 Divas will include performances by Ciara, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Kelly Rowland and Jordin Sparks. The festivities will be hosted by Adam Lambert, who is ironically a better singer than all of the women on the bill, and will also pay tribute to the late Donna Summer.

Viewers of the Vh1 Diva show can expect the listed acts to perform Dance music hits throughout the night for what has been deemed the Divas Dance Party. The real thrill will be experienced as fans wait to see if Ciara sings live, Cyrus remains on-key or if Rowland finishes a song without gasping for air.

—————————————————————————————–

So, with all the real divas in the industry who have the voices to handle a Houston or Summer song, these are the best choices that the Vh1 producers could muster? Why by the grace of the morning sun is Ciara on this setlist? The last time I checked, this Vh1 Divas show is a tribute to Houston and not Janet Jackson!

This Vh1 Divas lineup can’t get any worse. The promoters should just call it a Vh1 Divas tribute to the Disney Channel and hire the a few rejects from ‘The X Factor (US)’ to join the show. Excuse me while I go cancel my cable subscription.

  Bootz!
- Give&Take
  
  I gasp and gag at the foolishness they’re trying to pull! Poor Jordin! She’s probably thinking she’s gonna have to carry the whole show, and with this roster, she would be thinking correctly. Even Whitney herself name checked Leona Lewis as a wonderful singer, could we not get her? If you cant do it right, dont do it AT AWWLL!! And last year was such a good year for vh1 Divas I pray to almighty Chaka that something changes…MILEY!?!?!?! Whitney will never rest in peace.
- FAB IT
  
  lmaooooo that gif…………… that black girl looks just like u trent !!!!!!!!!
- sidneybeyince
  
  Umm Kelly Rowland did a song Whitney Houston song and was a amazing she did a Mariah Carey song and was excellent so don’t go there she can sing
  - O_O
    
    I am horrified and highly bloody offended by the outrageous disregard for the greatness that is Whitneys legend. How dare they get these, pay for display, heffas together then have the audacity to attach Whits name and tribute to the title of such a calamity.
    
    I will watch….disapprovingly.
- sam
  
  FUCKING CUNTS. What a shit tribute to the FUCKING QUEEN. Fuck you VH1!!!
- R&B LIVES
  
  HORRIBLE! Who came up with this list of performers?
  
  I like Ciara and Ciara is fine for a MJ tribute but Whitney? Demi & Miley? ugh
  
  I agree…. why not Leona or Jhud or Kelly Clarkson or Mariah or Beyonce or Monica or Christina or even freakin GaGa or Adele or ANYTHING but this crowd.
  
  I will not be watching this mess
- Tc23
  
  uhhhh no jennifer hudson?, beyonce? christina?, kelly clarkson?, leona lewis?, fantasia?, brandy?, monica? wtf!! this is WHITNEY HOUSTON! obv no one can or will ever be able to sing like her in her prime but come on they needed to call the powerhouses to do this right .. i mean i cant even begin to comprehend ciara doing a tribute to whitney .. what is she gna lip sync to a hip hop dance version of greatest love of all!?! ughhhh epic fail vh1 … ive yet to see a tribute even come close signifies the importance of whitney houston (other than BET, surprisingly the only ones to have kind of gotten it right) then again VH1 divas has been VH1 wannabes for a few years now anyway …
- why yALL mAD
  
  wtf its a dance tribute they dont need power house vocals yall always talking negative about someone. Trent you and this shade is getting tired like really move on already i really like your site but why do you always have to bad talk someone for a good laugh and a hit be more like rap-up .
- Music-Doc
  
  So, Jessie j, Leona Lewis, Jill Scott, Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Anita Baker, Chaka Chan, Toni Braxton, Jennifer hudson(even though she screams), and Christina Aguilera (she screams too much also, but she would be much better than the people they have on the line-up) were not available?
  
  Oh, well, I won’t be watching. I don’t want to hear them butcher Whitney Houston’s classic songs.
- R@@
  
  Okay…..Jordin no sweat but we all gon have to pray over Kelly ‘s vocals and lungs because I wanna here those same vocals she gave Mariah for her tribute and plus she better slay that donna summer tribute or imma cry and Ciara better dance for her life…! Even though this is the first set announced there will be more announced as the show gets closer!

    Following..
- sidneybeyince
  
  Also did you not see Kelly’s duet with Lionel Richie come on now girl can slay
- Girrrl
  
  This is foolishness. Looks like a setlist for flops anonymous Not a tribute for Donna and Whitney. Adam is the best diva performing.
  - Simona
    
    thats right
- LouLou
  
  Wow. Vh1 Divas has ruined its legacy. Didn’t minaj perform on the last one? They had legends and future legends performing on this show in the 90′s and this is who they choose today? I like Ciara, but really? Her team is obviously amazing to get her on a show like this. And to the other performers…
- Tony Starks
  
  This show will be good to watch for laughs!
- the real xoxo
  
  Ciara? Miley Cyrus?? its 2012, not 2008
- Jasmine
  
  Umm hello it’s Dance Divas! It’s also honoring Donna Summer. Thus making Ciara relevant. It’s a fuckin shame ppl will hate on Ciara cause she doesn’t have the strongest voice, she more than makes up for it. Ciara is a dance diva period. Funny Toya, how you said she had the best performance on BGR, yet you’re comparing her to Rebecca Black. For the misinformed: Whitney and Donna had tons of Dance records that Ciara and co could easily make their own to fit their vocal stylings i.e limitations. We all know Ciara can slayyyy the fuck out of a stage, so I’m here for it. And you’re under-estimating Demi. Check her vevo “My Love is Like A Star” she slays vocally

  This has got to be a fucking Internet hoax or something… No one with good sense would book any of these classless, and talentless acts to perform in a WH tribute… This list has got to be the seated in the balcony list!!! Bol
  - Simona
    
    except Adam Lambert
- Guess What
  
  Utter disgusting, except Kelly Rowland. #nuffsaid
- Anna
  
  they couldn’t afford for the real divas.
- ni
  
  I know Trent is lying… this better not be the list of performers… I am about to curse…. This is some bullsh8t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DONE!! VH1 can kill themselves with this.
  - Simona
    
    He’s not lying ..This was official announced
- Nelz91
  
  IDK what youre talking about but Demi can sing, and its not only a tribute to Whitney, its also for Donna Summer
- DOMOdotSCORE
  
  No. I’m sorry but no. Is everyone else unavailable? I will cosign Kelly only if she’s doing the Donna Summer tribute because that’s her music mother. But the rest, VH1, girl bye.
  
  I feel like people are forgetting the meaning of a diva. A diva is someone with immense talent vocally (amongst other things but vocals are the top characteristic). Being a moderately famous female ‘singer’ does not equate to being a diva. Who is doing the thinking at VH1? None of these ladies are divas by any standard. I like Ciara and Kelly but they are not divas.
- Stoney-Brie
  
  i don get the shade, so u think vocally Ciara is like Janet?? First of all Janet Jackson can sing, she may not do the stuff that Whitney, Celine, Toni, Mariah and all the other belting girls do but she can actually sing! Ciara on the other hand can check the box for dancing and imitation when it comes to her resemblances to Janet Jackson.
  - ksw
    
    Janet doesn’t have big, powerful, and strong vocals, but she can hold a note and carry a tune. She also got 18 consecutive ten hits in 9 years. She has a great discography. She writes her own music; she can produce/co-produce her music; she plays piano. Ciara can’t even get a top 40 hit on billboard and she is in her prime. Sad but true. I am disappointed in VH1. Ciara would have been better at a MJ or Janet tribute. Not a tribute to Donna or Whitney.

    Ciara has a top 40 hit right NOW, its called “Sorry” . . .
- sexicaliswagg
  
  Yessssss for that gif, first off. Second Yessssss for Ms. Lamberts being on Divas.
- Tim
  
  Adam Lambert is the ONLY Diva on this show and Jordin Sparks is the only one possibly vocally avaliable to sing Whitney Houston and Donna Summer. Adam & Jordin are the salvation of this show.
- wonderland19
  
  Boring Boring Boring. Last year was so great and now they have nose dived.
- For pitty sake
  
  This has to be a joke? rightCiara stands out like a sore thumb. She really is starting from the bottom again. smh Is Ciara actually gonna sing live? Not watching this mess.
- TheVocalPower
  
  Demi Lovato and Jordin Sparks are both amazing singers so I ain’t mad at that but everybody else… No. Just no.
- Gene
  
  Vhf@#%%%1, this is the list that is performing for the tribute for Whitney and Donna??? smdh. EBT did a better Whitney houston tribute than Vh1 will ever do, smdh. Come on now, they need powerhouse performers to sing at Divas Live. I give up on the music industry. It has become nothing but trash.
- Jeweley girl
  
  I don’t know some of you are hating on Kelly. She did an
  excellent job on a Whitney Houston song,and we know
  she can do dance music. Jordin Sparks and Kelly Rowland
  are the only ones who deserve to be on the list. They should
  replace Demi and Miley with Brandy and Monica.
- Gene
  
  Kelly will do the thing, but this is Whitney Houston, there should be some powerhouse sangers on this show, smdh. Vh1 for you.
- Amir
  
  Trent while you’re bashing Ciara she’s still making more money than u . & u should be happy she’s pulled a spot on these shows she’s getting . her NEW management is on FIRE
- CheReiHino
  
  Lmao This had to be a joke.
- Lola
  
  I Know Kelly Will Do GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!! She Kills EVERY Tribute.
- MzGoodBadGirl
  
  Brandy, Monica and Fantasia.
