Divas smack talking other divas [[video)Elizabeth Bromstein Nov 28, 2011 0 Comments
Oh, those divas. Always snarking over each other. Or not. It depends on the mood apparently, and there appears to be a fair amount of flip flopping. Madonna, Celine, Whitney, Christina, Mariah - Oh, Mariah. Lady Gaga on the other hand, seems to love everyone. In their defense, as is pointed out in the following clip, the media practically forces them into it sometimes.
Some genius over at a blog called fourfour put together a nine minute video of divas on divas.
It comes with the explanation: “the practice of female singers being asked to comment on their peers [[or taking it upon themselves to do so) is endlessly fascinating...So here are a bunch of clips of divas talking about divas. I gave myself an organizational rule when assembling this: The person speaking in each clip must have been talked about in the preceding clip.”
Some of the best snarks are about Madonna, including:
Mariah Carey: “I haven’t paid attention to Madonna since I was in 7th or 8th grade, when she was popular.” Snap!
Janet Jackson: “How do I put this? I think what I do has class to it.” Zing!
And, the ultimate, Cher on Madonna: “She’s unbelievably creative. She’s not unbelievably beautiful, she’s not beautiful, but she’s...rude.” Booyah!
Ladies, please!
