And if Miley Cyrus gets invited to this kind of shindig, what next? Jessica Simpson?
Jessica Simpson was on VH1 Divas 2004
I rest my case.
Melinda Doolittle — are any PTBs anywhere EVER going to notice what a great singer she is, how lovable too, and give her a break? She would have been terrific up there, as someone else noted. So OK, she’s not a glam girl — but is Adele?
Re: Adele. She isn’t a screamer, melisma-queen. She’s a bluesy singer with a soulful, ragged voice that speaks volumes. I much prefer that sort of subtlety, but obviously that’s not what these splashy Diva-thons are about…..The show should really be called “Sing Your Face Off.”
Paula Abdul as ‘VH1: Divas’ host: Don’t quit your day job! (Oh wait…)

Thanks for the link. Love Slezak. It was interesting to watch Paula. She tries so hard to make us forget her age but in fact, not only did she date herself last night, I had to remind myself that she wasn’t part of Liza’s generation. Paula reprising her songs with that lame “dance” number will go over very well with 70 and 80 year-olds in Vegas. But even for them, she’ll have to be less stiff and less frazzled. What Paula should have done was really reprise the moves, dance with Kat instead of just pointing at him, wiggling her hips and swinging the microphone stand. All you have to do is watch Janet Jackson (who is only a couple years younger than Paula) from a few nights earlier on the VMAs “dance” with her brother
4:12 mark
to see the wide generational gap. Seeing Paula last night was a sad reminder of how good she used to be and how uncomfortable it is to watch someone who can’t step aside for those who are younger and better.
I’ve seen some videos of kelly on the red carpet and god she is just the same cool girl we met on idol. I love her to death, she never changes and is SO SO funny. I’m always with a smile on my face when i see her interviews. When she finds out toni braxton is on the red carpet she looks like a child meeting her own idol. That’s just great how humble she is, even after so many years of success.

Anyone else having a little trouble with the videos?
I can’t seem to get anything but errors on Kelly, Adele and a few others…
All the videos are here too
