Grammy golden girl Taylor Swift had a great Sunday night at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on January 31st. The Fearless songwriter picked up a number of trophies, including Album of the Year and Best Country Album at the Staples Center ceremony.

After a four year absence, the cable music channel VH1 is trotting out it’s concert show, VH1 Divas. Miley Cyrus, Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis and Adele have been announced as performers for this year’s event.

What do you think of these choices? I have to say, while I enjoy these artists, the Divas shows were legendary because they chose a diverse group of female musicians who’ve STOOD THE TEST OF TIME. None of these performers qualify. Three, four or even five years just isn’t the same as decades of hard work, being recognized by your peers continuously, and fighting the ups and downs of a fickle public and music business. I think it will be a fun concert, but nothing amazing. Too bad that they can’t come up with another way to get this group of gals together and not put them in the same category with Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Cher, Aretha Franklin, Celine Dion, Cher, Stevie Nicks, Tina Turner etc…

Check it out on September 17th at 9pm.
