Divas?


The latest VH-1 Divas thing is coming up in a couple weeks... I have to say, the longer it goes on, the less I know what it takes to qualify as a genuine musical "diva." I can't remember the list in its entirety but... Deborah Harry - Cyndi Lauper - Patti LaBelle - yeah, they're definitely worthy of the "diva" title. They've paid some pretty serious dues... But Jessica Simpson? Nah... and Joss Stone??? Give me a fucking break. Not only is she a complete newcomer with a whole one song in the public's ears... but, it's not even that good of a song... Just because she has the voice of a woman much older doesn't make her any form of a "diva." Once again, the powers that be at Viacom/Mtv/VH-1 are telling you what to believe... and you're believing it... like a bunch of sheep...

"Ladies and gentlemen of the supposed jury, this... is Chewbacca... He is a Wookie from the planet Kiishi... What is he doing living on Endor with a bunch of Ewoks? Ladies and gentlemen, that does not... make... sen'..."
