There’s a lot her contemporaries could learn from Rihanna.

Sure, though there’s really no denying the ‘inexpensive’ quality of her brand off stage, she stands as the blue print of how an act trying to win in today’s world should be handled.

Basically, in keeping it completely real, she stands as a shining example of well an act with limited skill can do when armed with a manager cut from the same cloth as Jay Brown.

Find out why the pair will have cause to celebrate in the weeks that follow…

Unfortunately, while he was extremely open to discuss his long running relationship with Rihanna and apologize for assaulting her back in 2009, his attempt to prove himself a changed man was thwarted when Matt Lauer confronted him with the many dramas that have occurred since them.

Think Drake.

Think Frank Ocean.

Shortly before talent-devoid “divas” dominated charts with their brand of EDM or autotune-assisted fly-by-night hits (see: Katy Perry, Ke$ha, and oh na na what’s her name), 2006 saw an assembly of legendary divas gathered to be honored by Queen of Talk Oprah Winfrey.

Indeed, it would take someone with Winfrey’s stature to unify Patti Labelle, Gladys Knight, Janet Jackson, Diana Ross, Tina Turner, Chaka Khan, and so many other legendary female entertainers and activists (Coretta Scott King, Maya Angelou, Rosa Parks, etc) for one worthy cause. Uniting for what was christened ‘The Legends Ball’, living legends lent their talents and stories for a group of distinguished guests including some of today’s top performers (Alicia Keys, Ashanti, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, and more).

Despite the absence of noted divas Whitney Houston, Beyonce, Aretha Franklin, and more, the three-day event (filmed for an ABC special) still won praise from viewers – especially its gospel themed finale.

With gospel hitmaker Bebe Winans at the helms, the ladies kicked off an impromptu “mic toss” where the singers showcased their gifts to the inspirational classic ‘A Wonderful Change’. Press PLAY above to see divas in action who earned the titling from their talent and not fashion accessories (note: no pitching correcting/modifying machines were on site).
