VH1 ASKS FANS TO SUGGEST PERFORMERS FOR THIS YEAR'S DIVAS AT DIVAS.VH1.COM
NEW YORK, April 20 /PRNewswire/ -- One of VH1's most recognizable and beloved
franchises, "VH1 Divas" returns after a four-year hiatus with what promises to
be a star-studded show. VH1 will air "VH1 Divas" LIVE from the Brooklyn
Academy of Music (BAM) Howard Gilman Opera House in Brooklyn, New York, on
Thursday, September 17. Continuing in the "Divas" tradition, VH1 will bring
together some of the biggest names in music today for an exclusive,
high-voltage night of unforgettable performances. Performers, presenters, and
special guests will be announced as they are confirmed.
"Over the years, we've received constant calls and emails asking us to bring
back our 'Divas' show. Now more than ever, the time feels right to re-launch
this beloved show as a new generation of talented female artists has come to
the forefront of music," said Lee Rolontz, Executive Producer for "VH1 Divas"
and Executive Vice President, Music Production for VH1. "We've heard our
viewers, and we promise to deliver a live show that will generate the same
'Divas' excitement as in the past -- while also infusing some new twists along
the way."
VH1 wants to hear from "Divas" fans to help determine the direction of the
show. Beginning today, VH1 is asking users to tell them who they'd like to see
perform at this year's "VH1 Divas." Go to Divas.VH1.com now to leave your
comments about who you'd like to see on stage this year.
Premiering on VH1 in 1998, "VH1 Divas" became synonymous with some of the most
memorable live female vocal performances in television history. The show
quickly became a highly anticipated annual phenomenon, generating speculation
among music fans and industry executives on who would be part of that year's
telecast. Previous featured performers over the years included Diana Ross,
Tina Turner, Cher, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Aretha Franklin, Mary J. Blige,
Shania Twain, Faith Hill, Whitney Houston, Beyonce, Chaka Khan and many more.
"VH1 Divas" is executive produced by Lee Rolontz, Rick Krim and Patrizia
DiMaria.
