November 7, 2008 Words Of Wisdom: Diva

A diva is a celebrated female singer. The Italian term is used to describe a woman of rare, outstanding talent in the world of opera, and by extension in theatre and popular music. The meaning of ‘diva’ is closely related to that of “prima donna”. The basic sense of the term is “Goddess” or “fine lady” and it derives from the Latin ‘divus’ meaning ‘divine’. ~ Wikipedia

“I know I can be diva-ish sometimes, but I have to be in control. The nature of my life, the nature of what I do, is divadom, it really is.” ~ Mariah Carey

“It’s a shame to call somebody a ‘diva’ simply because they work harder than everybody else.” ~ Jennifer Lopez

“I don’t mean to be a diva, but some days you wake up and you’re Barbara Streisand.” ~ Courtney Love

“Diva is the female version of a hustler.” ~ Beyonce (Listen: Beyonce – Diva)
