    • ? November 17, 2016

      She should’ve played Storm in those xmen movies over Halle Berry

    • LISA LEVINE November 17, 2016

      Mariah has the best Christmas Cd in history, but Vannesa Williams is 2nd. A beautiful work of art.

  2. The A Team November 17, 2016

    YASSS this is turning into a REAL Divas live

  3. #JACKIE November 17, 2016

    She’s so underrated. She had some HITS back in the day.

  4. SMH November 17, 2016

    Ok, NOW I will be watching this. Vanessa is one of the most UNDERRATED R&B/Pop Divas of the 90’s. The younger generation needs to youtube her videos and performances. They will see where beyonce’s entire aesthetic was modeled from.

    • LISA LEVINE November 17, 2016

      OMG does Beyonce gets so much Inspiration from Vannesa, the running back to you video is so Beyonce and the big curly hair and dancing. Good point. Just watched it. Vannesa is a beauty

    Dang fantasia has a concert the day of the taping??

  6. Danny Beys November 17, 2016

    Omg if she does any song from “A Diva’s Christmas Carol”, I will lose it. One of my favorite Christmas movies!

    • D November 17, 2016

      A Diva’s Christmas Carol was such an underrated movie – my family pulls out the DVD every December.

  7. LmfaoHoe November 17, 2016

    It’s official VH1 has credibility this is not a popularity contest at all, and all the ladies are phenomenal REAL Vocalist. I hope they add Chante Moore her albums in the 90s were so underrated including Lisa Fischer.

    Mariah is shaking.

    • TheLambBam November 17, 2016

      Yeah, she shaking. With excitement. You clearly don’t know a thing about Mariah if you don’t know that she is probably the most excited for this to happen. She’s not a jealous person, and I wish people would stop trying to paint her like that.

      • Jackson November 17, 2016

        I was only joking. I guess we have different views on Mariah, as she does come off as insecure to competition. She doesn’t embrace any female newcomers unless they praise her.

  9. MUSICHEAD November 17, 2016

    Great choice! Her Christmas album was excellent! Now give me Brandy or Toni Braxton.

    • MiMi November 17, 2016

      Toni, yes, ugly ass Brandy, no. I can’t stand her chipmunk sounding voice.

  10. Mar November 17, 2016

    I wouldnt mind seeing them include some of the Gospel divas like Cece, Yolanda, and Karen.

    • MiMi November 17, 2016

      Yesss!

  11. joselinefan_xo November 17, 2016

    Yass my bish! Always felt V was so underrated. What y’all know about Work to Do & Comfort Zone? Love it! Love her!!

  12. JOHNVIDAL November 18, 2016

    This is truly surprising. Like I haven´t heard her name since the 90s I think 🙂 The line up is great, despite a couple of so-so decisions.

    • Jackson November 20, 2016

      A couple being who? Teyana Taylor, I could understand but who else?
