I'm enamored by Mariah!

I LOVE Mariah. God bless her. But Debra Wilson plays a good crazy Mariah.

Favorite Album Track Never Released? Till The End of Time from the Emotions album.

Other favorite non-releases are All I Ever Wanted, Just to Hold You Once Again, Vanishing, And You Don't Remember, The Wind, You're So Cold, Prisoner, All Alone in Love, Looking In, Open Arms, The Beautiful Ones(with Dru Hill), Outside, Close My Eyes, Against All Odds, How Much(w/Usher), Lead the Way, Want You(w/Eric Benet), I Only Wanted, Clown(take that, Eminem!), The One(So So Def Remix), Your Girl. And probably more too. ETA: like Whenever You Call solo AND with Brian McKnight.

Absolutely loved her B-side that were never featured on her US albums. For me, Everything Fades Away was probably better than anything off of Music Box. And that was a stellar album. Do You Think of Me was pretty good too.

Mariah's BEST stuff, IMO, is the stuff that was never released as singles. But then again, I ADORE ballads, so my list of favorite songs is very ballad-heavy.

My all-time favorite diva is the divine Donna Summer.

She has been singing and touring for over 30 years, and her voice is just as good, if not better, than it was when she started out in the 70s. I saw her in concert in 2003 and she didn't disappoint.

Bad Girls, Hot Stuff, Macarthur Park, She Works Hard for the Money are classic, and her live concert album from NYC in 2000 is excellent.

Long live Donna!!!

Whitney Houston aka Crakney.

Nobody does diva better then her.

[Chris B]

Mariah sucks and Whitney is overrated. Dolly's I Will Always Love You is so much better than that oversung, poorly produced piece of trash released by Crackney! But I do love her as a crackhead, she's probably my favorite crackhead ever.

BTW Bree, Donna IS great. I haven't heard enough of her stuff, but I do have her SAW produced album on my computer and I lobsterlove it. I need to get some of her albums!!

My favorite divas are in this order...

1. Kylie Minogue

2. La Toya Jackson

3. Joni Mitchell

Rounding out my top five are Dolly Parton and Carly Simon! Fierce!

[MatinèeGirl]

For me there's only one diva

Marianne Faithfull

She has been recording for over 40 years now and she still gets better not only as a singer but as a songwriter as well.

[Ms. Walsh]

Joni Mitchell, Aretha Franklin, Dusty Springfield, Debbie Harry (of Blondie), Janis Joplin, Nico, Patti Smith, Dolly Parton, June Carter Cash.

Kylie Minogue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love me some Kylie!!!!!!!!

[2shane8]

I agree with Chris (!): I am not a fan of Mariah by any stretch of the imagination.

My favorite diva is Madonna, by far. I own every album, most of the singles, and I've loved her for years.

Other all-time favorites are Janet Jackson, Joni Mitchell, Tori Amos, Kate Bush, Jewel, Tracy Chapman, Sarah McLachlan, and the divine Siouxsie Sioux.
