This is one of those moments when Cheerness is not enough to describe the marvelous experience listening to these ladies of music! Just check this out (good and bad): Mariah Carey: the best 90's R&B and top selling singer, thou not her best songs to perform. Celine Dion: is there anything else to say about her and her wonderful high pitched vocals?. Aretha Franklin, need to say anything?. Gloria Stefan: the latin lady of the ladies, she adds some chili,latin dance and her wonderful charisma to the performance.Shania Twain: although her performance is really good and she was a diva in the 90's I guess I would pick up Madonna, since she was, is and will be a diva forever! The duets, and final jamming lead by Aretha are just moments of unfathomable joy. Just get it, if you like REALLY GOOD POP with R&B and exceptional singers just give it a shot!

This initial offering in the VH1 DIVAS series remains the finest of all of these live concert albums issued by that cable TV company. High power performances, great sound quality, excellent musicianship and song selection make VH1 DIVAS LIVE as fun to listen to today as watching the concert was back in 1998. A terrific document of six* marvelously talented true-to-life divas. That means you, too Gloria!

No matter what your taste, you are sure to find it here. As the first Divas Live show (the others that followed were pale comparisons), this one packs quite a wallop! This being New York, the energy exchanged and given by the performers and the audience is palpable! Indeed, each of the celebrated Divas were at their best. For me the highlights included Shania Twain (she may play the role of a silly glamour girl at times, but the yearning in her voice is REAL and what a voice, what a revelation)! The dignity of Carole King was great as was that--and the incomparable majesty--of Aretha Franklin. And while I am not really a fan of Gloria Estefan, her performance can't really be faulted--even if she sorely lacks the punch of the other singers. Finally, what can one say that hasn't already been said about Mariah and Celine? They were great, I loved them all and each of them deserved their due. A DVD definitely worth having. . .

It's all about Celine Dion on this first ever VH1 Divas Live concert!
It all kicks off on rather a mellow note with Mariah Carey singing her ultimate power ballad, "My All". She then continues with her not so great track "Make It Happen", probably the worst song of the night.
The only way is up from there though when legendary latin diva Gloria Estefan takes the stage. She belts out "Turn The Beat Around" and her newest single "Heaven's What I Feel". But it isn't until she performs a medley of her biggest hits that the crowd really gets going! A megamix of "Dr. Beat", "Conga", "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You", "1-2-3" and "Get On Your Feet" really brings down the house and is one of the highlights of the night.
It is then the turn of Aretha Franklin who performs "Chain Of Fools" with Mariah Carey, a classic duet between two huge divas. (Aretha also performed "A Rose Is Still A Rose" on the show but it is not included on the CD).
Shania Twain is next, VH1 were critisised when they added Shania to the show because many said she wasn't a diva, but she silenced all of her critics when she sang "Man!I Feel Like A Woman" and her beautiful love song "You're Still The One".
But it is Celine Dion who steals the show when the normally ballad-associated diva belted out the Tina Turner classic, "River Deep, Mountain High". She then returns to her ballads and performs "The Reason" with special guest diva, Carole King. But it is her performance of her multi-selling hit "My Heart Will Go On" that is the highlight of the night.
Celine then returns with Carole King, Gloria Estefan and Shania Twain to perform the second best song of the night; a cover of Carole's "You've Got A Friend". Beautifully sung by all four women. Then the moment everyone had been waiting for, the all diva finale. Celine, Aretha, Gloria, Shania, Mariah and Carole performed "Natural Woman". It was however rather a disappointment because every diva was trying to out sing the others and it just wasn't working.
It is a good CD and worth the money!
