'I'm Still Here' if you could really classify it as a 'diva song'

otherwise, "Only In New York" from TMM, "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" from Dreamgirls

I once heard one from Phantom, I think it was called "A Diva's Work is Never Done" and I loved it.
But my all time favorite is probably "What I Did For Love".

"I'm the Greatest Star"
"Don't Rain on my Parade"
"My Man"
and maybe "People" also..

or if it has to be a Musical Show Song then
GOLD from Camille Claudel

Cabaret is the ultimate Diva song for me, maybe it has to do with the fact that it's one the few songs that makes me feel like I have a good voice when I sing it.

Can you believe there's only one mention of WICKED on this entire thread? That's brilliant, and it's not even Defying Gravity! Yes, progress!
