Divas!
Wednesday, September 15th, 2010
In light of our Celine Dion-oriented reading this week, I wanted to point you towards this entertaining piece from The Awl, in which a writer tries to scientifically prove which diva is the diva-iest. It’s pretty long, but well worth it, as author Jay Caspian Kang chooses between Aretha, Barbra, Beyonce, Celine, Diana, Etta, Gladys, Mariah, Mary J, Whitney and Jordin Sparks.
The combination of archness and sincerity here is very funny, and the YouTube videos are pretty astonishing to watch. I take umbrage with Mary J’s low ranking in the “upstaging” category, though.
