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

    Written by Trent | Filed under Ciara,Jordin Sparks,Kelly Rowland
    Vh1 Divas TheLavaLizard

    The 2012 Vh1 Divas logo

    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.

    Thoughts?

      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.

        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.

      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.

I like Ciara, but really? Her team is obviously amazing to get her on a show like this. And to the other performers…

      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

      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.

      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.

        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.

      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
