Not Divas??

So what is the male counterpart???

Who might they be and why???

If I'm not mistaken, Elton John was among a "Diva" Concert performed a few years back in NYC. Anyone remember? It was a bit of a joke that was too true to life!

I think I just flashed back to the mid-80s and heard "Whip It" all over again. Oy.

Don't really mean to ask so many questions but you know how it goes, one thought leads to another and another and so on.

when TABOO opens, Boy George will be considered a diva. Harvey Fierstein is considered a GODDESS!!!!

tisk tisk hahah.. i loveeee me some harvey... did anyone ever watch the cartoon ROCKOS MODERN LIFE??? do you remember the next door neighbors who were sharks and the wife was a male raspy voice...does anyone know if that was harvey?

That would make him a "Divamundo" Right????
But Actually I was thinking of those theater staples like Brian Stokes Mitchell and people like that

I actually looked up on imdb.com to see if Harvey had done that voice for Rocko's Modern Life. It appears that he didn't do the voice of wife.

Free to Be You and Me. I love that movie. A staple of my elementary years when the teacher had no lesson plans for the afternoon. You knew when you came in from recess and saw the movie projector out and the two large film canisters that it was going to be a fun afternoon. I have the record album - yes album not tape or CD and I also have it on videotape. I think it was on HBO years ago and someone taped it for me. A few years ago when I was directing a children's choir, I too had nothing for them to do one day so I brought popcorn and we watched the movie. All of a sudden a bunch of the parents moved into the room and started reliving their childhoods. Ah the good old days when Michael Jackson was actually black. I cracked up when the kids left for the night and one kid yelled to the other "I'm in the Book" - the last line from the "Baby Skits". One of the fondest memories of my childhood.

Wow. I'm jealous you have the glitter jeans. LOL

I used to babysit a lot as a teenager and I brought the tape once to a babysitting "gig". Every other time I sat for that family the kids always made their mom call me to bring "The Baby Movie". The mom was frustrated as she could rent movies and they would never watch them more than once but MY MOVIE they could watch over and over again. I was kind of suprised that both times I have introduced it a very different generation, they have enjoyed it though I don't think they understand the controversial elements of it. I mean of course Mommies can be anything they want to be. And I too know every word to the movie and can't help but sing along.

Ahh. Why we can't have more heroines like Princess Atlanta is beyond me. She won the race and had the guy but realized her journey in life needed to come first.

Well, in the rap/hip-hop/basically every part of the entertainment industry except Broadway, the male diva is known as a DON. Or something like that. Listen to 107.5WBLS from 2pm to 6pm, Wendy Williams mentions it a lot. They often have exclusive parties known as "Don's and Diva's"
