VH1‘s flagship Divas special aired tonight. The ‘Salute The Troops’ themed show saw performances from the likes of Keri Hilson, Nicki Minaj, and Katy Perry.
Check out the performances after the jump. (Continually updated. Keep checking back for additions)
Question..
Where are the real divas? That can actually sing in tune.
@ BEYONCEBREEZY
I think they’re all back at home TRYIN’ to watch this show and thems reaction is… “… ok?!”
@ MGASKWATER and BEYONCEBREEZY. Iagree… There just chilling at home with their feet up – they’ve been singing for years so what business is it of them to start again!!! They see Katy Perry and think to themselves “Wow, is it just me or isn’t this the VH1 DIVA’S SPECIAL”??? “Maybe all those decades of knowing what REAL SINGING IS has gone to my head”!!!!!!!
HMMMMMMM……. : /
Whitney is no longer in ‘LOVE’ with today’s music, whereas Celine feels that her ‘heart will go on’ without it, though she better t’hink twice’ and as for Mariah… Just ‘touch her body’ and she’ll be okay… SMDH… Tina turner thinks ‘love aint got nothing to do with it’ though Aretha thinks you better show these girls some DAMN RESPECT!!! LOOOOOOOL
In the picture Keri and Nicky do not look black they have been airbrushed into white woman.
Black complexion is also beautiful there is no need to change it. Seriously why take a picture and turn it into something that does not look like the person.
CALIFORNIA ALL MOTHER FUCKINNGG DAY BITCHESSSS.. AND WHAT THE F*** IS NICKI MINAJ DOING.. U CANNOT SING EVEN CIARA CAN KNOCK U OUT VOCALLY I EXPECTED U TO BUSS LIL RAP IN BETWEEN IT BUT U KEEP PROVING U ARE A TALENTLESS GIMMICK THAT RELIES ON BIG CLOTHES TO HIDE UR FAKE TALENT.ANYWAY WHERE IS KERI HILSON.. KATY KILLED IT.. SHE OWNED IT. NOW I WANT MISS KERI BABY..I KNOW SHELL KILL IT
Why does Katy Perry always sound like she’s choking on a d***?
Where the real diva at?
nicki slayed she also killed romans and moment 4 life
Where are the divas? The only divas I know are Whitney, Aretha, Tina Turner, Mariah, etc.
Putting “Keri Hilson”, “Nicki Minaj”, “Katy Perry” and “diva” in the same sentence = FAIL
Is Nicki Minaj even a singer? LOL
NIcki and Katy did well with the song though. NIcki is hilarious with them facial expressions and FU-UN!
This is the worst. Whoever books talent for this show should be fired ASAP! Really, WTF is Nicki doing? She was so dope before all the success…I’m slowly losing interest…
goes to show THE DIVAS N THE NEW QUEENS ARE BASED ON THE MOST TALKED ABOUT ON TWITTER AND THE MOST CONCEITED. THE REAL DIVAS CHRISETTE MICHELE /JAZMINE SULLIVAN.CIARA.. BEYONCE..RIHANNA.. MISSY ELLIOT.. LIL KIM.. MC LYTE..EVE.. ARE JUST SLEPT THE F*** ON.. AND ITS SO SAD… I DONT KNOW WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WUD RELLI MAKE THIS LINEUP AND LEAVE IT LIKE THAT. ATLEAST ADD PPL TO IT.
wtf!
I WANT REAL SINGERS, THAT ARE VERSATILE, I WANT REAL SONGS, POWER BALLADS, BALLADS, UP-TEMPO’S WITH MEANING, MID – TEMPO’S. WHICH SADLY NONE OF THESE DIVAS HAVE GOT.
THROW IN MARIAH, WHITNEY, CELINE, PATTI, BEYONCE, ALICIA, ARETHA, TINA TURNER, DONNA SUMMER, CHAKA KHAN, QUEEN LATIFA EVEN DIANNA ROSS…. THESE ARE REAL MOTHER F***** DIVA’S THAT CAN CARRY A SHOW ON THERE SHOULDERS, THERE SONGS MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR ON A ROLLER COASTER OF EMOTIONS, BRINGS THESE PEOPLE BACK.
UNTIL THEN I’LL PUT MY CD’S IN MY CD PLAYER AND LISTEN TO THERE SONGZ ON FULL BLAST.
@monster IF THAT WAS THE LINE UP FOR THIS SHOW I WOULD FUCKINGG DIE AND COME BACK TO LIFE I SWEAR THEY SHOULD LET US F****** CHOOSE THE LINE UP NEXT TIME SINCE WE ARE THE ONES WATCHING IT
@Traci Summers
YES BUT NOWADAYS EVERYTHING IS FOR POPULARITY, OR MAYBE THEY HAD A BUDGET TO FOLLOW LOL…
@MONSTER dead KERI HILSON,KATY PERRY NICKI MINAJ hardly breaking the bank lmfaoo so tru.. it SCREAMS budget .. but ur right its popularity n its getting to me cuz i was vibin thru tha 90’s and the music then will NEVER be touched. aswell as the 80’s .. but on the reals peeps are stil holdin it down but ther just being slept on. ughh MUSIC NEEDS A NEW SAVIOR now that mj is gone..NO DOUBT HE WILL NEVER EVER BE REPLACED i love him.. but music is sinking and we need sum1 to save it
LMFAO @ NICKI MINAJ OUTSINGING KATY PERRY IN GIRLS UST WANNA HAVE FUN
I was hella irritated last night when she was about to perform Romans Revenge they went to commercial. I heard she also performed Moment For Life.
BTW she could barely walk in those heels.
Why didn’t you add Keri Hilson and Sugarland singing Think. Sugarland outsang and outperformed Keri Hilson. Keri was seraching for dear life to try hit those notes.
Katy Perry Knows who the real DIVA is.

Those girls are so talented, and beautiful!
I strongly recommend you a place where you can —Meet single rich guys,—hot babies——, who are searching for their special someone. The best d ating S i te in the world
😛 ________Bla c kw h it eF lirts. C” 0- M________ 😛
which gives you a chance to make your life better and open opportunities for you to meet the attractive sin gles and treat you like a king or Queen. Maybe you wanna check it out or tell your friends.
Beyonce should die!
Black dirty people like her are polluting the world!
I love Katy but did Nicki Minaj just upstage her in vocal performance, how does a rapper sound better than you singing a song
As VH1 Divas have done in the past – post production auto tuned
Example:
Anastacia performing ‘One Day in Your Life’
This is the version that was televised live: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gPJ54y7ytY
This is the version from the DVD: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGqMrJJ9B40
The post production autotune is evident all the way through this second performance, no more so that at around 2mins 56 seconds. On the 1st video she doesn’t get the high note and transposes it down, where as in the second video the auto tune kicks in and bends the note upwards.
They are all…grade F….divas 🙁
I love both nicki minaj and katy perry, but it was sooo boring. where are the REAL divas? I miss seeing whitney, mariah, celine, beyonce, etc. people who can actually command the stage.
Sugarland & Paramore>>>>>>>>>Everybody else on this crappy show!
@beyonceownsyourfave DEAD DEAD DEAD DEA DEAD
We may not consider them divas, but those girls put on a show, that I wasn’t expecting! Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj did great! I’m still looking forward to more videos! : )
-Salute the Troops! Thank You for all that you do! : )
I don’t know about ya but the really talented ones last night were that Grace Potter girl, Paramore and Sugarland…The Sugarland lady commanded that stage and Grace sounds like she was tacking soulful vocal lessons from Pink. I was like get it Grace
You people are so fucken bitter. Yes they aren’t true divas, but they are doing it for the troops! It’s a good cause so b****** choke on your hate.
Nicki sounded good! To all those who say she can’t sing AT ALL, you were just proven wrong.
Monster you and other person are both right, they need to let the public choose who they want to see sing on these shows, since most of do watch!! They need to do that with the Grammies, and the radio too, then maybe we as a public could help bring real talent back to where it should be!! I believe that they are doing this for the troops “r@@Ls eyez, but honestly this line up is just showing us that the music is nothing but a big monopoly now!! F*** them!!!
@ Amazing:
Damn right! Hayley on her WORST day (and believe me, I’ve seen her at her worst) could outsing all these lame chicks.
SMH @ how the standards for quality and talent has degraded.
THE ONLY REASON I WATCHED WAS TO SEE HAYLEY 4RM PARAMORE & NICKI MINAJ & OF COURSE THE VETERAN DIVA HERSELF “BRANDY NORWOOD” IF THEY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THEIR I WOULDA SHOT MY TV!
& DID YALL SEE THAT WHITE CHICK NAMED GRACE AKA BEYONCE 2.0 ALL THAT BRAUD DID WAS WHIPPED HER HAIR (BEYONCE) & SCREAMED LIKE A GOT DAMN BANSHEE (BEYONCE) ONLY THING THAT WAS MISSING WAS A TRIP & FALL DOWN SOME STAIRS & I COULDA ACTUALLY CALLED HER BEYONCE

somebody said something that really irked me they said nicki was so dope before the succress and they slowly losing interest..WELL OBVIOUSLY U AINT LOSING INTEREST IF U STILL TAKING TIME OUT TO WATCH HER PERFOM!! JACKASSES..all in all great performances..idk why ppl hate so much..my 3 fave ppl Nicki, Katy, n Keri #hayewsippin
Did Keri Hilson steal the #3 spot???
R.I.P. Ciara. 🙁
…and Nicki, wtf…
nvm im not even gonna say anything about that outfit lol
My opinion on this…
Katy Perry – she can only do so good in studio while she hit flat & sharp notes live.
Nikki Minaj – she’s a good rapper but she’s still has to make a name… she has only just begun…
Keri Hilson – who?
KERI IS STEPPING HER GAME U UUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE F****** KILLED THAT PERFORMANCE AND IS GOING HAV THE NO.1 OR NO.2 ALBUM SHE IS HEAVILY PROMOTING HERSELF. UNLIKE CIARA PLUS HER ALBUM JUST LEAKED .. S*** CIARA UR SLOWLY DYING AND KERI HILSON IS KILLING YOU OFF DO SOMETHING QUICK CIARA CUZ UR BEING SLAYED
Who is Keri Hilson???
After seeing that performance from keri hilson, iam 90% sure i might buy the Album.
SHOCK HORROR!!!!!!! 🙂
AND THE MOTHER F****** HELL IS SUGARLAND??????? WE WANT D-I-V-A-S!!!! NOT LOSERS!!!!! I lave katy perry but hey, she’s not in the position to be called a diva. In this generation beyonce is the only one that can be called a REAL DIVA along with Christina. but NIcki?? and GRACE potter??? who is she???? grace jones would be BETTER! I am sure that real divas will never forgive this s***. Where is Whitney, Annie, Mariah, Celine, Aretha, Diana, Patti, Tina, Cher, Cyndi, Donna????? We someone who could actually SING!!!!!!!!! trully music business is in a great deal of shame.
